Satire de la médecine, satire des femmes, satire des niais, défense du bon sens, de la liberté, de la vie et de l'amour, "Le médecin malgré lui" est tout cela à la fois ; on en pourrait dire autant de la plupart des pièces de Molière. Si celle-ci se distingue des autres, et en particulier des autres farces auxquelles on la rattache ordinairement, c'est sa surprenante présence de son personnage central, ce Sganarelle qui de faiseur de fagots devient grand médecin, et par la violence agressive de son langage.

When Ollie follows some of their more extreme advice, chaos inevitably ensues.

Born in 1875, the great German lyric poet Rainer Maria Rilke published his first collection of poems in 1898, and went on to become renowned for his delicate depiction of the workings of the human heart. Drawn by some sympathetic note in his poems, young people often wrote to Rilke with their problems and hopes. From 1903 to 1908, Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young, would-be poet on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world. Those letters, still a fresh source of inspiration and insight, are accompanied here by a chronicle of Rilke's life.

Durante nueve meses, Federico García Lorca vivió en Nueva York, alejado por primera vez de su país, de sus padres y amigos más íntimos. A lo largo de ese período, su poesía cambió radicalmente, oscureciéndose y dejando a un lado el folclorismo andaluz que tanto despreciaron Buñuel y Dalí. El resultado de esa etapa quedó recogido en Poeta en Nueva York, libro publicado cuatro años después de su muerte.

For many years, Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk kept a record of his daily thoughts and observations, entering them in small notebooks and illustrating them with his own paintings. This book combines those notebooks into one volume. He writes about his travels around the world, his family, his writing process, and his complex relationship with his home country of Turkey. He charts the seeds of his novels and the things that inspired his characters and the plots of his stories. Intertwined in his writings are the vibrant paintings of the landscapes that surround and inspire him.

Des événements étranges ont lieu à l'Opéra : le grand lustre s'effondre pendant une représentation, un machiniste est retrouvé pendu. La direction doit se rendre à l'évidence : un fantôme ou un homme machiavélique nommé Erik hante le théâtre. Certains affirment avoir vu le visage déformé de cet être qui ne semblerait pas être humain. Peu après, les directeurs de l'Opéra se voient réclamer 20 000 francs par mois de la part d'un certain « Fantôme de l'Opéra » qui exige aussi que la loge numéro 5 lui soit réservée.

The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus is one of the earliest and most compelling presentations of the story of a man who sold his soul to the Devil. It is based on the popular history of Johann Georg Faust (1466–1541) a German chemist and magician, allegedly perished in an explosion during an alchemical experiment. In the theologically charged world of early reformation Germany, a report spread that his violent death was a demonstration that the devil had come to collect his soul. The legend spread quickly and has formed the basis of many later literary and dramatic works.

Nach dem Tod seiner Eltern zieht der mittellose dänische Adelige Malte Laurids Brigge um 1900 nach Paris, um als Dichter zu leben. Doch die Stadt seiner Träume entpuppt sich als Ort des Elends. Rilke umkreist in seinem Werk Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge die elementaren Fragen nach Schicksal, Identität und Kunst und schuf damit den ersten bedeutenden Roman der literarischen Moderne.

Al día siguiente, muy temprano, a la hora de siempre, Pinín y Rosa fueron al prao Somonte. Aquella soledad no lo había sido nunca para ellos hasta aquel día. El Somonte sin la Cordera parecía el desierto. De repente silbó la máquina, apareció el humo, luego el tren. En un furgón cerrado, en unas estrechas ventanas altas o respiraderos, vislumbraron los hermanos gemelos cabezas de vacas que, pasmadas, miraban por aquellos tragaluces.

This is the history of England told in a new way: glimpsed through twenty-five remarkable poems written down between the eighth century and today, which connect us directly with the nation’s past, and the experiences, emotions and imaginations of those who lived it. These poems open windows onto wildly different worlds – from the public to the intimate, from the witty to the savage, from the playful to the wistful. They take us onto battlefields, inside royal courts, down coal mines and below stairs in great houses.
