5 Nisan 1934 Tarihli Vakit Gazetesi Sayfa 7'den SEDAT SİMAVİ'NİN ROMANI: FUJİ YAMA Fuji Yama, Sedat Simavi'nin büyük bir hikayesi. Bir roman denebilir mi?

In the tradition of memoirs such as Tobias Wolff's This Boy's Life and Ivan Doig's This House of Sky, these essays bring a storyteller's gifts to life's dramas, large and small. Following his award-winning turn on his hometown of Dodge City, Rebein takes us back to the high plains world where his family has farmed and ranched since the 1920s. It is a world populated by feedlot cowboys, stock-car drivers, and farm kids dreaming of basketball glory.

Örkény István gyermekeinek, Angélának és Antalnak szóló mese-leveleit ugyanaz a groteszk szemlélet- és elbeszélésmód, a logikailag össze nem illő bizarr, egyszerre nevettető és borzongató hatást keltő társítása jellemzi, mint más jól ismert alkotásait.

В Дневнике писателя, не имеющим аналогов в русской и зарубежной публицистике, Достоевский напрямую общается с читателями и словно приглашает присоединиться к обсуждению глубоких тем, которым посвящено все его творчество: человек и Бог, добро и зло, свобода и судьба России. В заметках 1876 года особое внимание он уделяет анализу мировой политики того времени и духовных болезней русского общества, оказавшемся во многом пророческим. А результатом его размышлений можно считать впервые опубликованную в ноябрьской главе повесть Кроткая, где писатель исследует отношения тирана и жертвы на примере обычной семьи.

Dacia Maraini che è stata una delle amiche più vicine a Pier Paolo Pasolini, in queste pagine intesse un dialogo intimo e sincero capace di prolungare e ravvivare un affetto profondo, nutrito di stima, esperienze artistiche e cinematografiche, idee e viaggi. Maraini costruisce questa confessione delicata come una corrispondenza senza tempo, in cui tutto è presente e vivo. Una voce necessaria per capire oggi chi è stato davvero uno degli uomini che hanno fatto la storia della cultura del Novecento.

Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868 - 1937) beschreibt bis in die Kleinigkeiten das rastlose Berlin, die schwächelnden Politiker, die aufgeregten Künstler und vor allen Dingen das Unwesen der Straßenkämpfe mit ihren Panzerwagen und Maschinengewehren. Und er schaut genau hin.

En Colombia vale más un pedazo de tierra que la vida de quienes lo habitan. Desde la ciudad el conflicto se ve ajeno. El humo no nos deja ver los cadáveres y la distancia nos aleja del dolor de las víctimas.

Federico Rios lo acompañó para registrar las imágenes de esta aventura que es a veces dura y a veces esperanzadora.
