Dans ce quatrième volet de son monument d’histoire littéraire, Hippolyte Taine poursuit, avec la rigueur d’un philosophe et la verve d’un moraliste, son exploration des lettres anglaises. Au fil de portraits saillants et d’analyses lumineuses, il met en perspective œuvres, styles et idées, et montre comment une nation se raconte à travers sa poésie, son théâtre et sa prose. Entre héritages, ruptures et métamorphoses, se dessine la carte vivante d’une littérature en mouvement.

Ahí nació una relación de amor que cultivó a lo largo de su vida y que la llevó a ser consciente de su imprescindible valor y de la obligación que tenemos de cuidarlos.

Der amerikanische Prosa-Künstler Washington Irving hat mit seinen Erzählungen einen prägenden Einfluss auf die amerikanische Literatur ausgeübt. Das liegt an seiner sehr angenehmen Sprachgestaltung und dem Realitätsbezug des gewählten Gegenstands. Allerdings ummantelt er seine Geschichten ebenso gerne mit einem Grotesk-Phantastischen Gewand, so dass man zum einen nie weiß was als nächstes kommt und zum anderen immer das Gefühl vermittelt bekommt hautnah dabei zu sein, wobei einem die beschriebenen Szenen sofort an dem geistigen Auge vorüberzuziehen scheinen.

Dans ce récit rare, René Boylesve s’écarte de ses cadres familiers pour faire danser, sous des apparences mythologiques, la vérité des désirs et des mœurs. Les nymphes et les satyres n’y sont pas seulement figures antiques: ils deviennent le miroir d’un monde où l’innocence se grise, où l’élan sensuel frôle la bienséance, où l’ironie éclaire la tendresse. D’une main légère, l’auteur orchestre une comédie fine, à la fois voluptueuse et lucide, où l’art, le rêve et la société se répondent.
