There is now no doubt that not only is Waiting for Godot the outstanding play of the 20th century, but it is also Samuel Beckett's masterpiece. Yet it is both a popular text to be studied at school and an enigma. The scene is a country road. There is a solitary tree. It is evening. Two tramp-like figures, Vladimir and Estragon, exchange words. Pull off boots. Munch a root vegetable. Two other curious characters enter. And a boy. Time passes. It is all strange yet familiar.

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 Spleen de Paris", aussi nommé "Les Petits poèmes en prose", est publié en 1864. Ce recueil complète "Les Fleurs du mal".

By the time Shakespeare came to write Macbeth - almost certainly in 1605/1606 - he had already completed three of the great tragedies with which modern audiences are so familiar: Hamlet (1601), Othello (1603), and King Lear (1605). Each of those plays gives us an eponymous hero who is in some significant way flawed, but for whom we also inevitably feel deep sympathy, whatever his errors or crimes. But in MacBeth, Shakespeare has chosen for his tragic hero a man guilty of the most terrible crime imaginable to a Jacobean audience, that of regicide - the murder of a king.

Jean Valjean, Cosette, les Thénardier, Gavroche, ou encore Javert sont autant de noms qui résonnent au-delà de l'histoire qui les a fait naître.

All the delightful and bizarre inhabitants of Wonderland are here: the White Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat, the hooka-smoking Caterpillar and the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Ugly Duchess... and, of course, Alice herself - growing alternately taller and smaller, attending demented tea parties and eccentric croquet games, and observing everything with clarity and rational amazement.

"Wer sich selbst und andere kennt, wird auch hier erkennen: Orient und Okzident sind nicht mehr zu trennen." Dieser eine Vers in Goethes Gedichtband drückt aus, was der Autor in seiner Gedichtsammlung versucht: eine Hochzeit zwischen der Kultur des Abend- und des Morgenlandes. Inspiriert von der Lektüre von Hafis’ "Diwan" ist Goethes Werk nicht nur eine lyrische Entfaltung tiefer Gefühle und Gedanken, sondern auch eine Hommage an den persischen Seelenverwandten.

In Shakespeare's most controversial play, the opposing values of justice and mercy must be resolved. Antonio promises money to help his friend Bassanio woo Portia. He borrows the sum needed from the cruel Shylock, but there will be a dreadful penalty if the loan is not repaid. The golden world of Portia's Belmont calls forth some of Shakespeare's most lyrical love poetry. But the dark shadow of Shylock is never far from the heart of this brilliant comedy as it moves toward its courtroom climax.
