Dating back to the 6th century BC, Aesop's Fables tell universal truths through the use of simple allegories that are easily understood. Though almost nothing is known of Aesop himself, and some scholars question whether he existed at all, these stories stand as timeless classics known in almost every culture in the world. This is volume 7 of 12. (Summary by Chip)

Over historische plekken en kunstenaars aan de Côte d'Azur. 
Hoezo, het liedje 'La Mer' van Charles Trenet gaat niet over de zee? En hebben wij daar echt een Belgisch eiland? Kunstjournalist Eric Rinckhout reist langs de Cote d’Azur met verhalen over de iconische plekken en beroemdheden die daar woonden of flaneerden. Aan de Middellandse Zee vond Grace Kelly haar Prins Rainier van Monaco, en ballerina Isodora Duncan... de dood. Tijdens een ritje in een cabrio draaide haar sjaaltje in de wielen. Maar ook over het zuiderse verblijf van violist Paganini, de filosoof Nietzsche en Guy de Maupassant weet Rinckhout alles.

今晚的夜空算不得漂亮，数颗星辰，半徐凉风。 街尾酒馆旁的一排青松，暗绿色的树影，静静的伫立，在墨黑的夜里并无明媚，却独有风情。 点燃几根蜡烛，斟满一杯酒，莹色的酒光抚慰着这黑夜。一瓶酒是一个人的宁静，每一杯酒里都有前坐往事，李白豪饮、杜甫愁饮，下肚的那一刻便斩断俗扰，忙碌渐褪色。 世人追寻微醺，大抵是足够放松，畅快说话，沉浸在自己的情绪里，能抵达天真。心里住着的小孩，微醺后会欣然跑出来，借微醺找回自己。 饮当下酒，爱眼前人。 拜伦在《春逝》里说，假使我又遇见了你，隔着悠长的岁月，我如何致意。以沉默，以眼泪。 微醺是半程烟火，清醒为一程生活。 想微醺在六月，用枇杷酿酒，在石榴花下饮尽，花味酒香交织的曼妙飘散在初夏，夜色泛涟漪，微风也沉醉。

El Principito

Stephen Edwin King, born on September 21, 1947, in Portland, Maine, is one of the most renowned and prolific authors of our time. His works have transcended the boundaries of genre, captivating readers with their blend of horror, suspense, fantasy, and psychological depth. King's journey to becoming a literary icon is a testament to his unwavering passion for storytelling and his ability to tap into the deepest fears and desires of the human psyche. King's early life was marked by hardship and adversity. His father, Donald Edwin King, a merchant seaman, abandoned the family when Stephen was just two years old, leaving his mother, Nellie Ruth King, to raise Stephen and his older brother, David, on her own. The family struggled financially, moving frequently between Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Stratford, Connecticut, as Nellie sought work to support her children. Despite the challenges he faced, King found solace in reading and writing from a young age. He was particularly drawn to the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Bloch, and Ray Bradbury, as well as EC horror comics like Tales from the Crypt. These early influences would later shape King's own writing style, which often blends elements of horror, fantasy, and science fiction to create stories that are both terrifying and deeply empathetic. King's love of writing began to manifest itself in tangible ways during his school years. He attended Durham Elementary School and Lisbon Falls High School, where he excelled academically and began writing short stories. Many of these early works were published in fanzines and local newspapers, showcasing King's burgeoning talent as a storyteller. In 1966, King enrolled at the University of Maine at Orono, where he studied English and participated in student politics. It was during this time that he met his future wife, Tabitha Spruce, who was also an aspiring writer. The couple married in 1971 and would go on to have three children: Naomi, Joe, and Owen. After graduating from college in 1970, King struggled to find a teaching job. He took on various odd jobs to support his family, including working as a janitor, a gas pump attendant, and a laundry worker. Despite the financial hardships, King never lost sight of his dream of becoming a writer. He continued to write short stories and novels in his spare time, honing his craft and developing his unique voice. King's persistence and dedication paid off in 1973 when he sold his first novel, Carrie, to Doubleday. The story of a teenage girl with telekinetic powers who takes revenge on her bullies became an instant success, selling over a million copies in its first year and establishing King as a major force in the horror genre. The success of Carrie marked the beginning of an extraordinarily prolific and influential career. Over the next few decades, King would go on to write some of the most beloved and terrifying books of all time, including The Shining (1977), The Stand (1978), It (1986), Misery (1987), and The Green Mile (1996). His works have been adapted into numerous films, television series, and comic books, cementing his status as a pop culture icon. One of King's most iconic novels, The Shining, tells the story of Jack Torrance, a struggling writer who takes a job as a caretaker at the remote Overlook Hotel. As Jack descends into madness, his young son, Danny, must use his own psychic powers to survive the evil forces that inhabit the hotel. The novel was later adapted into a classic film by Stanley Kubrick, starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. The Shining showcases many of the themes and motifs that would become hallmarks of King's writing: the exploration of the dark side of human nature, the power of the supernatural, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable horror. The novel also demonstrates King's ability to create fully realized, complex characters who are both relatable and deeply flawed. Another of King's most famous works, It, follows a group of childhood friends who reunite as adults to confront an evil entity that has been terrorizing their hometown of Derry, Maine. The novel's central villain, Pennywise the Clown, has become one of the most recognizable and feared characters in horror fiction, embodying the primal fear of the unknown and the malevolent. It is a prime example of King's ability to blend the mundane with the monstrous, creating a sense of unease and dread that permeates every page. The novel also explores themes of childhood trauma, the power of friendship, and the cyclical nature of evil, demonstrating King's deep understanding of the human condition. Throughout his career, King has experimented with various genres and formats, from the epistolary novel Carrie to the serialized novel The Green Mile. He has also written non-fiction works, including the memoir On Writing (2000) and the essay collection Danse Macabre (1981), in which he reflects on the nature of horror and its place in our culture. King's memoir, On Writing, offers a fascinating glimpse into his creative process and the experiences that have shaped him as a writer. Part autobiography, part writing guide, the book is a must-read for aspiring writers and King fans alike. In it, King shares his insights on the craft of writing, the importance of discipline and perseverance, and the role of imagination in storytelling. In addition to his literary achievements, King has been an advocate for various social and political causes. He has spoken out against censorship, supported anti-war efforts, and championed the rights of writers and artists. In 2003, he was awarded the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, recognizing his lifetime of work and his impact on American culture. Despite his success, King has faced his share of personal struggles. In 1999, he was struck by a van while walking near his home in Lovell, Maine, suffering severe injuries that required extensive surgery and rehabilitation. The accident also forced him to confront his own mortality and the fragility of life, themes that would later emerge in his writing. King's accident and subsequent recovery had a profound impact on his work. In the years that followed, he wrote several novels that grappled with themes of mortality, redemption, and the human capacity for resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. These works, including Dreamcatcher (2001), Duma Key (2008), and 11/22/63 (2011), showcase King's ability to use personal experience as a lens through which to explore universal truths about the human condition. King's impact on popular culture cannot be overstated. His books have sold over 350 million copies worldwide, making him one of the best-selling authors of all time. He has inspired countless writers, filmmakers, and artists, and his influence can be seen in everything from hit television shows like Stranger Things to the resurgence of the horror genre in recent years. In his personal life, King has been married to Tabitha for over 50 years, and they continue to live in Maine. Their sons, Joe and Owen, have followed in their father's footsteps, becoming successful writers in their own right. King's daughter, Naomi, is a Unitarian Universalist minister and an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. Throughout his career, King has been praised for his ability to tap into the deepest fears and anxieties of the human psyche, creating stories that are both terrifying and deeply empathetic. He has a unique talent for creating fully realized characters and immersive worlds, drawing readers in and keeping them captivated until the very last page. One of the most remarkable things about King's writing is its accessibility. Despite the often dark and disturbing nature of his stories, King has a way of making his work relatable and engaging to a wide audience. He writes about ordinary people in extraordinary situations, exploring the ways in which trauma, grief, and fear can shape our lives and our relationships. King's influence extends far beyond the world of literature. His stories have inspired countless adaptations in film, television, and theater, from classic horror movies like The Shining and Carrie to more recent productions like the It franchise and the Castle Rock series. His work has also been the subject of numerous academic studies, exploring themes of gender, race, class, and power in American society. In recent years, King has continued to be a prolific and influential presence in the literary world. He has published several new novels, including The Institute (2019) and Later (2021), as well as a collection of short stories titled If It Bleeds (2020). These works demonstrate King's ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of genre and exploring new narrative possibilities. The Institute, for example, is a gripping tale of government conspiracy and the abuse of power, centered around a group of children with supernatural abilities who are held captive in a secret facility. The novel showcases King's ability to blend elements of science fiction, horror, and social commentary into a compelling and thought-provoking narrative. Later, on the other hand, is a crime thriller with a supernatural twist, following a young boy with the ability to see and communicate with the dead. The novel is a testament to King's versatility as a writer and his ability to subvert genre expectations in surprising and engaging ways. In addition to his literary output, King has also been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump, using his platform to advocate for progressive political causes and to challenge the rise of authoritarianism in American politics. King's political activism is a reminder of the power of storytelling to shape our understanding of the world and to inspire social change.

Stephen Edwin King, born on September 21, 1947, in Portland, Maine, is one of the most renowned and prolific authors of our time. His works have transcended the boundaries of genre, captivating readers with their blend of horror, suspense, fantasy, and psychological depth. King's journey to becoming a literary icon is a testament to his unwavering passion for storytelling and his ability to tap into the deepest fears and desires of the human psyche. King's early life was marked by hardship and adversity. His father, Donald Edwin King, a merchant seaman, abandoned the family when Stephen was just two years old, leaving his mother, Nellie Ruth King, to raise Stephen and his older brother, David, on her own. The family struggled financially, moving frequently between Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Stratford, Connecticut, as Nellie sought work to support her children. Despite the challenges he faced, King found solace in reading and writing from a young age. He was particularly drawn to the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Bloch, and Ray Bradbury, as well as EC horror comics like Tales from the Crypt. These early influences would later shape King's own writing style, which often blends elements of horror, fantasy, and science fiction to create stories that are both terrifying and deeply empathetic. King's love of writing began to manifest itself in tangible ways during his school years. He attended Durham Elementary School and Lisbon Falls High School, where he excelled academically and began writing short stories. Many of these early works were published in fanzines and local newspapers, showcasing King's burgeoning talent as a storyteller. In 1966, King enrolled at the University of Maine at Orono, where he studied English and participated in student politics. It was during this time that he met his future wife, Tabitha Spruce, who was also an aspiring writer. The couple married in 1971 and would go on to have three children: Naomi, Joe, and Owen. After graduating from college in 1970, King struggled to find a teaching job. He took on various odd jobs to support his family, including working as a janitor, a gas pump attendant, and a laundry worker. Despite the financial hardships, King never lost sight of his dream of becoming a writer. He continued to write short stories and novels in his spare time, honing his craft and developing his unique voice. King's persistence and dedication paid off in 1973 when he sold his first novel, Carrie, to Doubleday. The story of a teenage girl with telekinetic powers who takes revenge on her bullies became an instant success, selling over a million copies in its first year and establishing King as a major force in the horror genre. The success of Carrie marked the beginning of an extraordinarily prolific and influential career. Over the next few decades, King would go on to write some of the most beloved and terrifying books of all time, including The Shining (1977), The Stand (1978), It (1986), Misery (1987), and The Green Mile (1996). His works have been adapted into numerous films, television series, and comic books, cementing his status as a pop culture icon. One of King's most iconic novels, The Shining, tells the story of Jack Torrance, a struggling writer who takes a job as a caretaker at the remote Overlook Hotel. As Jack descends into madness, his young son, Danny, must use his own psychic powers to survive the evil forces that inhabit the hotel. The novel was later adapted into a classic film by Stanley Kubrick, starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. The Shining showcases many of the themes and motifs that would become hallmarks of King's writing: the exploration of the dark side of human nature, the power of the supernatural, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable horror. The novel also demonstrates King's ability to create fully realized, complex characters who are both relatable and deeply flawed. Another of King's most famous works, It, follows a group of childhood friends who reunite as adults to confront an evil entity that has been terrorizing their hometown of Derry, Maine. The novel's central villain, Pennywise the Clown, has become one of the most recognizable and feared characters in horror fiction, embodying the primal fear of the unknown and the malevolent. It is a prime example of King's ability to blend the mundane with the monstrous, creating a sense of unease and dread that permeates every page. The novel also explores themes of childhood trauma, the power of friendship, and the cyclical nature of evil, demonstrating King's deep understanding of the human condition. Throughout his career, King has experimented with various genres and formats, from the epistolary novel Carrie to the serialized novel The Green Mile. He has also written non-fiction works, including the memoir On Writing (2000) and the essay collection Danse Macabre (1981), in which he reflects on the nature of horror and its place in our culture.
