κακός δρόμος, κι άλλα καινούρια διηγήματα (1908-1911)
Στο διήγημα του Ξενόπουλου “Ο κακός δρόμος” βλέπουμε να θριαμβεύει η ομορφιά και όχι η λογική, η ομορφιά και όχι η δύναμη και πάλι η ομορφιά και όχι η ηθική. Ο συγγραφέας μας υποχρεώνει να δεχτούμε την αθέλητη υποταγή των ανθρώπων στο Μοιραίο, εκείνο που οι Έλληνες είχαν αρχή και τέλος κάθε τραγικής τους έμπνευσης. Το βαθυστόχαστο τέλος, εξηγητής της κοινωνικής τάξης, παραπέμπει σε ελληνικό παραμύθι ή σε τραγωδία. (Summary by Penelope) [chương_files]

Aus der Sommerfrische
Mit viel Menschenkenntnis und feinem Humor erzählt Hoffmann in diesen Kurzgeschichten von manchmal sehr natürlichen Eindrücken. Von mancher Männer Träumen, von Bergtouren in Südtirol, von Krieg und Liebe – und von Gottesfurcht. In diesem Buch wird sogar Andreas Hofer erwähnt (Tiroler Freiheitskämpfer)!

Geraldine Jewsbury in Jerrold’s Shilling Magazine, 1846-47
‘The most striking feature in the present day, far more than that of railways even, is the utter chaos into which all previously received principles and opinions are reduced’. So begins ‘Today’, the first in a series of five pieces of social commentary written by Geraldine Jewsbury for Jerrold’s Shilling Magazine. Jewsbury would go on to be a prolific contributor to The Atheneum and Household Words. Published shortly after her first novel, ‘Zoe’, these early pieces include several strongly argued polemics on the sufferings of women and servants in industrial England and advance her lifelong philosophy of the importance of mutual care. – Summary by Phil Benson [chương_files]
