The diary is that most intimate of journals, of records. Within its pages the writer records and gives expression to their thoughts, their feelings, their emotional state on all the things that make up and surround them in this world. For most people the diary is a way to record the milestones of life; a birthday, a new love, the passing of someone as well as the minutiae of everyday life that seems worth passing into written memory. It may be a daily task, or an occasional flurry of words whenever it’s deemed necessary yet, apart from politicians and celebrities, these pages are never really shared. The truth they hold is personal to the writer, and others are not privy to its contents. With authors of the calibre of Bulgakov, Woolf, Tolstoy, Twain and many others this volume explores characters who lives seemed dominated by these diaries, and the events that unfold are both compelling and literary journeys into the very personal and intimate side of their characters’ lives. 1 - Dear Diary - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction 2 - Diary of a Lunatic by Leo Tolstoy 3 - The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman 4 - The Diary of a God by Barry Pain 5 - Eve's Diary by Mark Twain 6 - Morphine by Mikhail Bulgakov 7 - The Horror of the Heights by Arthur Conan Doyle 8 - The Legacy by Virginia Woolf 9 - Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogol 10 - The Horla by Guy De MaupassantZum Buch
There is no avoiding what is to come . . . The Gate of Ice is the only way in or out of the mountain—at least that's supposed to be true. There's a second gate, a smuggler's gate dug in secret over decades by a Southcaver named Yale. The Southcaver dwarves might not be the most reputable in the mountain, but they have a certain tenacity and rebellious streak that Yale depends on. Topaz, a Southcaver smelter's daughter, decides to accept proposals of marriage. She doesn't anticipate getting mixed up with the existence of the Second Gate, much less the fate of the whole mountain. But with King Ringhand trying to close in on the elusive Smuggler Prince, neither she nor Yale can avoid what is to come.Zum Buch
