Samuel Dashiell Hammett (1894–1961) lived a dangerous and exciting life, just like the author of Don Quixote, Miguel Cervantes. He dropped out of school when he was 14 and worked hard jobs like freight clerk, stevedore, and nail-machine operator before getting a job as a Pinkerton detective.

JORGE LUIS BORGES, AN ETERNAL DREAM
4 min read Translated from Article in elpais.com My first memory of Kafka is from the year 1916, when I decided to learn the German language. I had tried before with Russian, but I failed.

I had a German-English dictionary and after a few months I don’t know if I was able to understand what I was reading, but I was able to enjoy the poetry of some authors. It was then that I read Kafka’s first book, which, although I don’t remember exactly now, I think it was called Eleven Tales.

ABOUT MY MENTAL WELLNESS
I have always been a worrier. I’m the type of person to think about what could go wrong and pour over the potential for disaster. I often felt like worrying gave me a sense of control and it provided me with some level of temporary security.
