Ces lettres écrites par le poète allemand Rainer Maria Rilke ont été rédigées entre 1903 et 1908 à Franz-Xaver Kappus. Ce dernier était élève du prytanée militaire que Rilke avait fréquenté. Le jeune Kappus adressa à Rilke, alors âgé de 28 ans, une longue lettre où il lui confiait sa vocation de poète. Rilke ne s'attache pas à porter un jugement sur les poèmes de Kappus.

'The Rain' Collection of short stories centres on the destructive and regenerative force of rain—physically, emotionally, psychologically and as a metaphor for life. From human cruelty to human determination, stories set in several locations, each showcasing the universality of anger, loss, fear, sadness, joy, hopes and dreams.

The Land of Little Rain by Mary Hunter Austin, first published in 1903, contains a series of interrelated essays about the American Southwest. A theme of environmental conservation and a philosophy of regional culture loosely link the narratives. The first essay covers the "Country of Lost Borders," an area between Death Valley and the High Sierras. In "Water Trails of the Ceriso", the author describes the many animals that travel along the trails, including coyotes and quails. "The Scavengers" deals with carrion feeders like buzzards and crows.

Schweitzer and his family are on the run from his former unit, the Gemini Cell, and while he may be immortal, his wife and son are not. Jim must use all of his strength to keep his family safe, while convincing his wife he’s still the same man she once loved. But what his former allies have planned to bring him down could mean disaster not only for Jim and his family, but for the entire nation....

Narrated by Mike Vendetti and Kathy Verduin, Cat in the Rain is not just about a cat. The cat can be taken at face value and surface-level as "just" a cat, and the events of the story as being a minor snapshot into one hour's events in the lives of an American couple living in 1920s Italy. But since when in our own lives do events simply happen without having wider implications? Many things we do are motivated by other desires, drives, wants, fears, and anxieties.

Prague, ville où Rilke passa son enfance, est sans doute le personnage essentiel de ces deux récits. "Le roi Bohusch" et "Frère et sœur", constituant ces "Histoires pragoises", comptent parmi les tout premiers textes de Rilke. Nourris d'éléments autobiographiques, ils évoquent l'atmosphère qui régnait alors à Prague, et, en particulier, l'émergence du sentiment nationaliste anti-allemand de la jeunesse tchèque.

"Lettres à un jeune poète" regroupe les correspondances qu'échangèrent Rainer Maria Rilke et son élève Kappu entre 1903 et 1908. Rilke a alors 27 ans, mais sa démarche est tellement détachée des velléités d'un "jeune poète", qu'on le croirait déjà revenu d'une longue habitude. Aux envies d'honneur, il répond par la nécessité de créer. Il préconise la solitude et l'introspection et pose au jeune Kappu cette question essentielle : "devriez-vous mourir s'il vous était interdit d'écrire ?"

This captures the spirit of the American west: It is a classic tale of heroism and romance, with a struggle to survive in a harsh and unforgiving environment. It has the breezy charm of “Cattleland,” as a young cowboy has a major task of saving his ranch from ruthless cattle rustlers. He has a romance as the fast-moving action makes its way through stampedes, shooting and bronc riding in the midst of the rugged and wild landscape of Wyoming.

The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge (Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge) has been described as an anti-novel. It is set in Paris in the period just before the First World War, but it presents a bleaker milieu than that described by Proust. The language is terse, the atmosphere painful, the images uncompromising. Rilke drew on the short period he spent in Paris in 1903 where, in contrast to the rural circumstances in which he had lived before, he found the underbelly of urban life distressing.

Solstice Winters has spent most of her life halfway between normal society and the world of her magical parents. However, when getting caught between two worlds becomes more than metaphorical, being able to summon light or open locks might not be enough.

"Rilke wußte mit dem Reim umzugehen wie nur wenige Dichter in der Geschichte der Literatur, er hat der Sprache ungeahnte Klänge und Melodien abgewonnen. In vielen seiner Verse vermochte er auszudrücken, was unsagbar schien: Seine Poesie ist ein Triumph über das Unsagbare. So gelang es Rilke, der deutschen Lyrik Bereiche zu erschließen, von deren Existenz niemand wußte." (Marcel Reich-Ranicki) Dem Rilke'schen "Triumph über das Unsagbare" als Sprecher, als Rezitator überhaupt gerecht zu werden, soll mit diesem Hörbuch versucht sein.

W. Somerset Maugham is one of the best-loved short story writers of the last 100 years. In this collection of his finest short work Maugham takes the listener to the sun-drenched Pacific islands where the Governor mercilessly abuses the inhabitants; to the story "Rain", in which the Reverend and the prostitute play out one of the most famous finales ever written; to the studies of chauvinistic Colonels, and snide conversations in Edwardian drawing rooms, as well as at the gates of heaven. As an introduction to one of the greatest writers in the English language Stephen Crossley's reading is the perfect place to start.

Jen Williams, acclaimed author of The Copper Cat trilogy, featuring The Copper Promise, The Iron Ghost and The Silver Tide, returns with the first in a blistering new trilogy. The great city of Ebora once glittered with gold. Now its streets are stalked by wolves. Tormalin the Oathless has no taste for sitting around waiting to die while the realm of his storied ancestors falls to pieces - talk about a guilt trip. Better to be amongst the living, where there are taverns full of women and wine.

The poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke addresses the issues of God, death, and "destructive time." Rilke tries to transform these problems into an inner world, what he calls "a whole inner world as if an angel, comprehending all space, were blind and looking into himself." Eminent author and translator Stephen Mitchell brings these ideas vividly to life in this new translation of Rilke's most transcendent works.

Rainer Maria Rilke war nicht nur meisterhafter Poet, der in seinen Gedichten ganze Welten erschuf – er konnte auch mit dem größeren Pinsel malen. Seine Erzählungen lassen – trotz ihrer Kompaktheit – den Hörer eintauchen in eine neue Welt. Und nach dem Hören ist man noch lange in Nachdenken versunken.
