Wells, then later married Frank Russell, elder brother of the Nobel prize-winner and philosopher Bertrand Russell. She was a cousin of the New Zealand-born writer Katherine Mansfield.

Abstract: I Santi sono stati sempre nella mia vita. Nella tradizione abito il mistero della santità in un percorso orante che mi accompagna in un indefinibile senso esistenziale in cui il destino non rappresenta una contrapposizione ma l'incontro. I Santi sono nel mio dialogo ma non sono una ricerca per tentare di comprendere la fede. Non ho mai cercato la fede.La fede è una luce che giunge e, a volte, cattura e avvolge. La prima parte di questo testo è improntata sui Santi che sono tracciati nei miei anni. La seconda parte non è una divagazione. Anzi. È lo stesso specchio del mio essere. Un libro al quale pensavo da molto. Mancano parecchie pedine. Ma il mosaico si costruisce tassello dopo tassello.È uno scritto intimo. Come quelli che hanno un cuore. Ci sono riuscito? Non lo so. Pierfranco Bruni

Andersen og i nyere tid Juliane Preisler og Lone Hørslev.Jacobsens portræt fokuserer på det psykologiske aspekt af Grubbes liv, hvor hun forfølger sine seksuelle drifter og derved synker ned til bunden af samfundet.Jens Peter Jacobsen (født 7. april 1847 i Thisted, død 30. april 1885 sammesteds) var en dansk forfatter under naturalismen. Han døde af tuberkulose.
