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.

Murder comes in two familiar forms. Whether as a crime of passion with high emotions or a cold dispassionate plot to take life in order to gain in some way, the act strikes us all as somehow inhuman. Beneath us as civilised beings. But however we cloak our animal instincts the need to remove a human being and gain relief from abuse or gain from money, the term is just the same – MURDER. Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, J M Barrie, W W Jacobs and many others bring their literary heft to bear in as calculating a way as any killer could.

Life has the capacity of great moments and attainment, of lives well lived, fulfilling for ourselves and for those we touch. But for others life is arduous. There is no spark to ignite the curiosity, to explore and achieve a stability and a growth to their lives. Indeed their lives, in their own eyes, become almost meaningless, their sense of themselves subsumed under a myriad of problems, whether real or imagined. Seismic events in a life might crush them; the loss of a loved one for instance. Coping is difficult, support hard to find and isolation abounds.

Loss in any form seems to burden us with more weight than anything that can possibly be gained or learnt from. The loss of a person, a loved one, is often overwhelming. Lives so interwoven that the severing or loss of one life leaves the other weakened, unable to function for some time. Recovery comes in a myriad of forms but is usually debilitating, slow and, in the end, we are not as whole as we once were.It is a subject that authors return to again and again.

When we read or listen, words can have a transforming effect. Our mood can alter in the space of a few sentences from joy to sadness. And not just our mood. These words can affect us physically, they can engage our emotions and even in their sadness bring a lump to our throat and tears to our eyes. Sometimes the relief can be palpable. Our authors, from Anton Chekhov, Stephen Crane, Willa Cather, Katherine Mansfield and a wealth of others, are well aware of what their talents will evoke. Genius has many names.

"Милый друг" — роман французского писателя Ги де Мопассана, написанный в 1885 году, рассказывает об авантюристе, который мечтает сделать блестящую карьеру. У него нет каких-либо талантов, разве что своей внешностью он может покорить сердце любой дамы, а совесть прощает ему любую подлость. И… этого хватает для того, чтобы стать сильным мира сего.

Er blieb ein paar Sekunden stehen, um seine Frau zu betrachten und ward ein wenig bleich. Sie war sehr schön, schlank und sah vornehm aus in ihrem länglichen, feinen Gesicht, ihrem goldigen Elfenbeinteint, den großen grauen Augen und dem schwarzem Haar. Ohne ihn anzublicken, stieg sie ein. Sie schien ihn nicht einmal bemerkt zu haben bei ihrem so ausgesprochen hochmütigen Wesen, dass ihm die fürchterliche Eifersucht, die ihm lange schon quälte, von neuem das Herz zerriss.

Ich wartete lange Zeit, konnte keinen Entschluss fassen, sah ganz klar, aber war ängstlich bis zur Tollheit. Ich wartete stehend, lauschte immer auf den stets wechselnden Lärm, der in einzelnen Augenblicken zum Getöse wuchs, das einem ungeduldigen Toben von Wut, von seltsamer Empörung glich. Dann nahm ich plötzlich, in Scham vor mir selbst wegen meiner Feigheit, meinen Schlüsselbund, suchte den Schlüssel heraus, den ich brauchte, steckt ihn ins Schlüsselloch, schloss zweimal herum, öffnete die Tür mit aller Kraft, dass der Flügel gegen die Wand flog.

Im Elysee Montmartre war Maskenball. Es war Mittfasten, und die Menge strömte, wie das Wasser in eine Schleuse läuft, in den erleuchteten Gang, der zum Tanzsaal führte. Die laute Musik des Orchesters, die wie ein Orkan daher stürmte, durchtoste Mauern und Dach, klang in das ganz Stadtviertel hinaus, in alle Straßen bis hinein in die benachbarten Häuser, um jene unwiderstehliche Lust, die als tierischer Instinkt im Menschenherzen lebt, zu wecken: die Lust zu tanzen, sein Blut in Wallung zu bringen, sich zu unterhalten.
