Nu problema sexualitii n sine a fcut-o pe Erica Jong una dintre vocile literare de referin din ntreaga lume, ci faptul c a ironizat cu subtilitate stereotipiile, ajungnd s vorbeasc fi i necosmetizat – dar fr s dea dovad nici de voyeurism, nici de puritanism – despre intimitatea cea mai profund. A devenit astfel una dintre promotoarele revoluiei sexuale i un icon pentru milioane de femei, ctignd totodat admiraia unor nume importante din literatur, cum ar fi John Updike, Henry Miller, Anthony Burgess sau Jennifer Weiner.

Classic collection of essays. According to Wikipedia: "Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936) was an influential English writer of the early 20th century. His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction. Chesterton has been called the "prince of paradox." He wrote in an off-hand, whimsical prose studded with startling formulations. For example: "Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it."[2] He is one of the few Christian thinkers who are equally admired and quoted by both liberal and conservative Christians, and indeed by many non-Christians. Chesterton's own theological and political views were far too nuanced to fit comfortably under the "liberal" or "conservative" banner."

Classic Conrad novel. According to Wikipedia: "Joseph Conrad (1857 – 1924) was a Polish-born English novelist. Many critics regard him as one of the greatest novelists in the English language—a fact that is remarkable, as he did not learn to speak English fluently until he was in his twenties (and always with a strong Polish accent). He became a naturalized British subject in 1886. Conrad is recognized as a master prose stylist. Some of his works have a strain of romanticism, but more importantly he is recognized as an important forerunner of modernist literature. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many writers, including Ernest Hemingway, D. H. Lawrence, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Graham Greene, William S. Burroughs, Joseph Heller, V.S.
