Robert Browning was fascinated by people—not only people of his own day, but also people who had lived in the remote past. Five of his famous dramatic monologues are spoken by characters from the ancient Classical world: a Greek goddess (Artemis), a Roman senator (in “Imperante Augusto Natus Est—”), an Arab physician (Karshish), a Greek poet (Cleon), and the last surviving eyewitness of Jesus Christ (in “A Death in the Desert”). They probe many different questions, especially regarding the transition from paganism to Christianity.

Rainer Maria Rilke wurde am 4. Dezember 1875 in Prag-Neustadt geboren. Er ist, wie neon-text media meint, zwischen Hölderlin und Celan jener Dichter deutscher Sprache im Höhenzug der Menschheit, an dem kein Vorbei ist. Rilkes Prosatext "Notizen zur Melodie der Dinge" entstand vermutlich im Herbst 1898. Er besteht aus 40 Teilen, die mit römischen Zahlen nummeriert sind. "Ich kann mir kein seligeres Wissen denken, als dieses Eine: daß man ein Beginner werden muß. Einer der das erste Wort schreibt hinter einen jahrhundertelangen Gedankenstrich."

The Importance of Being Earnest: A Trivial Comedy for Serious People is a play by Oscar Wilde. First performed on February 14, 1895, at the St James' Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious persona to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage and the resulting satire of Victorian ways.

Here is the poem that set Byron on his meteoric rise to fame in London society.

A Silvia è una poesia composta da Giacomo Leopardi, tra il 19 e il 20 aprile del 1828.

À dire vrai il n'est pas question de Pékin dans ce roman, et d'automne guère plus - mais seulement d'un homme qui, ayant raté son autobus, se retrouve à construire des voies de chemin de fer en plein désert.

Flirtant avec l'absurde de façon aussi drôle que poignante, ce roman est enchanté par la lecture magistrale de Denis Lavant.

More than any other canonical English writer, Geoffrey Chaucer lived and worked at the center of political life - yet his poems are anything but conventional. Edgy, complicated, and often dark, they reflect a conflicted world, and their astonishing diversity and innovative language earned Chaucer renown as the father of English literature. Marion Turner, however, reveals him as a great European writer and thinker.
