Découvrir l'intimité des "grands hommes" est décidément une chose exquise ! Dans cette correspondance - ou plutôt ce monologue passionné ! - l'amour de Napoléon pour sa femme Joséphine s'étale sur toute la palette des sentiments. Tour à tour sensuel, exclusif, sauvage voire brutal avant de se nuancer et de s'assagir au fil et des épreuves et des champs de Batailles ! Même à la fin, Napoléon continuera de lui témoigner de l'affection sans bornes à "sa" Joséphine ! Lues par la voix bouleversante de Pierre Fresnay, ces 33 lettres écrites entre 1795 et 1814 montrent l'intimité d'un homme dont le génie s'abandonne - sans fard - à la passion des sentiments ! A tout point de vue, ce livre audio est un document exceptionnel !

The Iliad is one of the two great epics of Homer, and is typically described as one of the greatest war stories of all time, but to say the Iliad is a war story does not begin to describe the emotional sweep of its action and characters: Achilles, Helen, Hector, and other heroes of Greek myth and history in the tenth and final year of the Greek siege of Troy.

This collection arguably contains some of the most charming lyrics ever written in English. Blake’s poems can be enjoyed, not only for their historical importance in an age which was fiercely proud of its genius and its traditions, but also for their simple and beautiful expression of “two contrary states of the human soul.” Songs of Innocence was originally a complete collection of twenty-three poems, first printed in 1789. In 1794, a composite collection entitled Songs of Innocence and of Experience, containing forty-seven poems, was published.

"L'Orlando furioso" (1516) è un poema cavalleresco che racconta le avventure del paladino Orlando, innamorato di Angelica, che impazzisce quando scopre che la sua amata ha una relazione con un altro uomo. L'opera ha una trama molto stratificata che si sviluppa sostanzialmente su tre narrazioni principali: quella militare, costituita dalla guerra tra i paladini, difensori della religione cristiana, e i Saraceni infedeli; quella amorosa, incentrata sulla fuga di Angelica e sulla pazzia di Orlando, e infine quella encomiastica, con cui si lodava la grandezza dei duchi d'Este.

First published in 1855, when Whitman was 37, Leaves of Grass announced a new voice and style in American letters. It attempted to reach out to the common person with an optimistic epic that took the nation as its subject and encouraged readers to connect with nature and unite in a harmonious society where race and class are transcended.

Vulnerable, tender, acute, these are serious poems, brave poems, exploring with honesty the ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of acceptance. A daughter tends to aging parents. A woman struggles with infertility—“What if, instead of carrying / a child, I am supposed to carry grief?”—and a body seized by pain and vertigo as well as ecstasy. A nation convulses: “Every song of this country / has an unsung third stanza, something brutal.” And still Limón shows us, as ever, the persistence of hunger, love, and joy, the dizzying fullness of our too-short lives.

Experience the stunning Greek poetry of Homer in this collection of his two major works: The Iliad and The Odyssey.

The "Songs of Innocence" were published in 1789 and republished in 1794 together with the "Songs of Experience". They represent Blake's two perspectives on the world, that of the child (innocence) and that of the adult (experience). Blake's poetical works were largely neglected in their own time but are today considered some of the most brilliant of English verse. The "songs" are presented here together with "Auguries of Innocence".

Il Canzoniere di Francesco Petrarca è uno dei capolavori della poesia di tutti i tempi, rappresentando la linfa vitale per tutta la storia letteraria dell’occidente. L’antologia propone una sostanziosa scelta di rime capaci ancora oggi di parlarci con immutata, universale intensità.

Profoundly poetic yet gloriously accessible, this is the best way to experience a work that has remained a centerpiece of Western civilization for 2,000 years.
