めずらしい事件や突発の災難、珍事を見物するのが好きだという変わった道楽をもつ男。今度この男が興味をもったのは、きわどいはなれわざで観客を魅了する自転車曲芸団だった。

Brilliantly manipulative and entirely amoral, the hero-villain Richard is one of Shakespeare's greatest roles. The Yorkists have emerged victorious from the civil wars and Edward IV wears the English crown. But Edward's misshapen brother Richard harbors kingly ambitions and will stop at nothing to achieve the throne. In a fatal battle on Bosworth Field, Richard meets the ghosts of all whom he has murdered and the Earl of Richmond, the future King Henry VII.

L'œuvre d'Yves Bonnefoy, depuis son premier recueil "Du mouvement et de l'immobilité de Douve" (1953), est soutenue par l'unité d'une "voix". Le poème y est une parole en prise sur le monde et qui s'adresse à autrui ; son ambition est de désigner, non de définir, de nommer plus que de signifier. C'est la voix d'Yves Bonnefoy lui-même qui fait entendre ici un ensemble de poèmes des "Planches courbes" (2001).

This widely studied play is one of the "best sellers" of the Shakespeare canon. This production is the sixth Shakespeare play in the series undertaken by Naxos AudioBooks in conjunction with Cambridge University Press.

The Kalevala provides a compelling insight into the myths and folklore of Finland. Compiled by Elias Lönnrot in the 19th century, this impressive volume follows a tradition of oral storytelling that goes back some 2000 years, and it is often compared to such epic poems as Homer's Odyssey. However, The Kalevala has little in common with the culture of its Nordic neighbors: It is primarily poetic, it is mythical rather than historic, and its heroes solve their problems with magic more often than violence.

How can we look afresh at Shakespeare as a writer of sonnets? What new light might they shed on his career, personality, and sexuality? Shakespeare wrote sonnets for at least 30 years, not only for himself, for professional reasons, and for those he loved, but also in his plays, as prologues, as epilogues, and as part of their poetic texture.

The air grows colder as he arrives at his destination: the castle of Count Dracula. Jonathan has been summoned by the count for business, and while he finds his new host obliging and polite, he can't help but notice the man's pallid skin, odd lack of appetite, and long daytime absences.

John Keats (1795-1821) was one of the foremost English Romantic poets. Despite his early death from tuberculosis at the age of 25 he had a considerable poetic output, the majority of his best-known works being written in the year 1819. The six odes composed during this year are among his most famous and well-regarded poems. The first five were composed during the spring of 1819, while 'To Autumn' was composed in September. The exact order of composition of the first five is unknown.

This final play from the pen of Oscar Wilde is a stylish send-up of Victorian courtship and manners, complete with assumed names, mistaken lovers, and a lost handbag. Jack and Algernon are best friends, both wooing ladies who think their names are Ernest, "that name which inspires absolute confidence". Wilde's effervescent wit, scathing social satire, and high farce make this one of the most cherished plays in the English language.

Aramis tente l'impossible, l'invraisemblable, et il est sur le point de réussir, dans une entreprise qui bouleverserait le cours de l'Histoire, mais celle-ci reprend ses droits... Il n'y a plus de place pour des surhommes dans la France de Louis XIV. Jamais ils ne sont si grands qu'au moment de quitter ce monde qui est devenu le cimetière de leurs illusions perdues. À chacun des trois, Athos, Porthos et D'Artagnan, est accordée la fin qui lui convient, en forme d'accomplissement, voire d'apothéose.

D'Artagnan, toujours inquiet des manœuvres d'Aramis, fait présenter à la cour Porthos comme maître d'œuvre de Belle-Île, tandis que Fouquet présente Aramis en tant qu'architecte. La rencontre des trois amis fait comprendre à Aramis que D'Artagnan est acquis à la cause du roi, et qu'il flaire un danger : il faut hâter l'action qu'il a en tête.
