To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionist depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on a marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny, and bitterness. Its use of stream of consciousness, reminiscence, and shifting perspectives gives the novel an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values.

Cyrano is a brash, strong-willed man of many talents whose whimsical aptitude for the spoken word is overshadowed by an attribute that is iconic, outrageous, and gigantic - his nose. How can the curiously snouted Cyrano ever hope to win the affections of the beautiful Roxane?

Comment expliquer le succès tardif mais réel, le retentissement subit de la philosophie de Schopenhauer ? C'est qu'il est possédé de la folie de son temps, cette folie que l'on a si justement appelée la maladie du pessimisme, ou encore la maladie du siècle, der Weltschmerz, la douleur du monde, cette folie qui compte tant de victimes, de Werther à René, de Childe-Harold à Rolla, et d'illustres malades : Byron, Musset, Henri Heine, rieurs attristés, viveurs blasés, sceptiques nuageux, révoltés lyriques qui adorent la vie et la maudissent. Schopenhauer est le théoricien de cette école de poètes.

Voy a descansar sin despertarme sobresaltada, para ver si la sangre me anuncia otra sangre nueva. Con el cuerpo seco para siempre. ¿Qué queréis saber? ¡No os acerquéis, porque he matado a mi hijo, yo misma he matado a mi hijo!

The Fable of the Bees—a satirical poem, prose discussion, three essays and six dialogues completed in 1729—exposes human vices but defends them as a necessity within a wealthy society. Mandeville’s bees thrive until they start living by honesty and virtue… then they are impoverished. Mandeville did not play by the rules: he satirized the sins of society but also ridiculed the widespread hypocrisy of deploring these sins whilst reaping their benefits. He and his work were attacked for the rest of the century.

Publié en 1857, Les Fleurs du mal de Charles Baudelaire, est un recueil de poèmes qui explore les thèmes de la beauté, du mal, de la mélancolie, et de la révolte. L'œuvre, souvent considérée comme un chef-d'œuvre de la poésie française, reflète les tourments intérieurs du poète face à une société moderne et aliénante. Baudelaire y exprime un profond malaise existentiel, oscillant entre fascination pour le sublime et attirance pour la décadence.

Le même jour, Mitch croise le procureur qui l'a fait condamner et rencontre Anna, une jeune chef qui pourrait bien être la femme de sa vie.

La rencontre d'un des plus grands poètes français et d'une grande voix du théâtre contemporain. Avec celles de Baudelaire et de Rimbaud, la figure de Stéphane Mallarmé domine la modernité poétique qui se constitue à la fin du XIXe siècle, et, quoique son œuvre fût rare, adressée à une élite de lecteurs lentement accrue, "il lui avait suffi, dit Valéry, de quelques poèmes pour remettre en question l'objet même de la littérature".

Joseph Conrad’s multilayered masterpiece tells of one nation's violent revolution and one hero's moral degeneration. Conrad convincingly invents an entire country, Costaguana, and sets it afire as warlords compete for power and a fortune in silver.

Señor Gould, adamant that his silver should not become spoil for his enemies, entrusts it to his faithful longshoreman, Nostromo, a local hero of sorts whom Señor Gould believes to be incorruptible.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was born in Cockermouth, in the Lake District. His Lyrical Ballads, written in collaboration with Coleridge, was published in 1798, and shortly afterwards he settled in Dove Cottage, Grasmere, with his sister Dorothy. Inspired in his early manhood by the French Revolution, he grew disillusioned with revolutionary politics and in later life became decidedly conservative. He left a vast body of work, ranging from delicately simple lyrics to deeply meditative odes.

Taxé d'immoralité, condamné et censuré, Baudelaire est, contre son temps, celui que Rimbaud définissait comme « le premier voyant, roi des poètes, un vrai Dieu » et dont l'influence perdure jusque chez nos artistes contemporains. Des Fleurs du Mal, son œuvre maîtresse, aux extraits de ses journaux intimes ou de Lettre à sa mère, les comédiens tels que Jean-Louis Barrault, Jean Desailly et Pierre Blanchar redonnent vie à cet albatros le temps de quelques vers.

Praised by Chekhov as his favorite writer, Nikolai Leskov occupies a unique place in Russian literature. His original stories often seem like folk-tales, their larger-than-life characters including soldiers, Tsars, priests and gypsies. Leskov's storytelling, simple in its style, combines a deep religious spirit with comic absurdity. The Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, Leskov's best-known work, is a realist account of a young woman who escapes from her loveless marriage through adultery, leading to violence and murder
