"Progressi e sfide della nematologia" è il titolo della conferenza, ben poco partecipata, in cui Arthur e Kevin si incontrano per la prima volta. Nematologia, cioè lo studio dei vermi. Pardon, lombrichi. La sede è una delle aule ipermoderne dell’istituto AgroParisTech, inspiegabilmente trasferito dalle campagne dell’Île-de-France alla spianata di cemento dell’altopiano di Saclay: un’infilata di centri commerciali e isole spartitraffico da cui è più che mai arduo immaginare un futuro verde per la nazione.

Tales of the Elders of Ireland (Acallam na Senórach) represents the largest literary text surviving from 12th-century Ireland, the most comprehensive early collection of Fenian stories and poetry. Three parallel worlds interact: the contemporary Christian world of Saint Patrick with his scribes, clerics, occasional angels, and souls rescued from Hell; the earlier pagan world of the ancient, giant Fenians and an array of Irish kings; and the timeless Otherworld, peopled by ever-young shape-shifting fairies.

The dramatic romance was a poetic form particularly favored by Robert Browning. This collection of 25 poems includes many of the poet's most celebrated efforts in this genre. Each of these poems is essentially a monologue or imagined conversation by a character recalling a life-changing event. The particular occurrence may be related to war (Incident of the French Camp), love (The Last Ride Together), murder (Porphyria's Lover), or even a humorous fable (The Pied Piper of Hamelin.)

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.

Here is a delightful look at childhood, written by master poet and storyteller Robert Louis Stevenson. In this collection A Child's Garden of Verses of 64 poems, Stevenson recalls the joys of his childhood, from sailing boats down a river, to waiting for the lamplighter, to sailing off to foreign lands in his imagination.

Alba all'ultimo convegno a cui partecipa. Linguista, docente universitaria, correttrice di bozze, Alba è un'esperta - e un'amante - delle parole, e il tema delle lingue in pericolo di estinzione le sta a cuore, dal momento che l'islandese ne fa parte. Per questo interviene in conferenze in tutto il mondo, il che per lei, abitante di un'isola a nord del Circolo polare artico, significa per forza salire su un aereo. Di ritorno dal convegno, Alba fa una riflessione: per compensare la sua impronta di carbonio di quell'anno, dovrebbe piantare cinquemilaseicento alberi.

Les Bas-Fonds de Maxime Gorki est un portrait poignant des habitants opprimés et démunis d'une cave délabrée en Russie.

Avec un casting diversifié de personnages, de la voleuse philosophique Satine à la tragique Anna et à son amant tourmenté Kostylev, Gorki tisse magistralement une tapisserie de souffrance humaine, de résilience et d'aspiration inextinguible à la dignité au milieu de la misère.

Sir Walter Raleigh (1552 - 1618) was one of the most prominent political figures in the Elizabethan era. He was also a soldier, explorer, and prolific author.

This collection includes 21 of the most popular poems attributed to Raleigh.

In this day and age men hardly ever talk about their problems or feelings, let alone turn them into poetry, perhaps this book can be a catalyst for men finding a sense of power and honor in vulnerability and how it's a huge part of being human. “Our darkness is a classroom with the lights off, but the lessons there are truly enlightening”
