About Love
Anton Chekhov (Author) Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), the grandson of a former serf and son of a grocer, was born in Taganrog, a port in Southern Russia. His childhood was overshadowed by his frightening father, but he was close to his mother. While he was at university, his father was defrauded and went bankrupt, leaving the family in dire financial straits; Chekhov supported them almost single-handedly by selling stories and sketches to magazines. Although a doctor by profession, he soon became famous for his brilliant stories and plays, and is today recognized as one of the greatest short story writers of all time.

Ihrer Zeit voraus
Stella Kleve, Emilia Pardo Bazán, Olha Kobyljanska, Annemarie Schwarzenbach und Virginia Woolf waren ihrer Zeit weit voraus! Sie forderten Raum für ihre eigenen Träume, Hoffnungen und ihr Begehren. Sie schrieben selbstbewusst und modern, aus Leidenschaft und von Beruf. Und sie hielten der Gesellschaft der Männer unermüdlich den Spiegel vor. Die hier versammelten Erzählungen erscheinen teilweise zum ersten Mal auf Deutsch und sind kluge, radikale, einfühlsame und immer wieder auch sehr komische Texte von erstaunlichen Frauen und Autorinnen aus fünf Ländern, die uns auch heute noch viel zu sagen haben - über Selbstbestimmung, Liebe und Partnerschaft genauso wie über Unterdrückung, Befreiung und Solidarität.Der Schuber enthält folgende Erzählungen: Stella Kleve: PyrrhussiegeEmilia Pardo Bazán: Die Feministin und ChampagnerOlha Kobyljanska: Fantaisie Impromptu.Eine SkizzeAnnemarie Schwarzenbach: Eine BekanntmachungVirginia Woolf: Das Vermächtnis

Seine Geister verschwanden, vor allem Modesta, die ihn seit seiner Kindheit regelmäßigbesucht hatte.

Love Letters
'Ich habe dich vermisst. Ich vermisse dich. Ich werde dich vermissen. Und wenn du das nicht glaubst, bist du eine langohrige Eule und Eselin.'
