The Singularity of Being presents a Lacanian vision of what makes each of us an inimitable and irreplaceable creature. It argues that, unlike the "subject" (who comes into existence as a result of symbolic prohibition) or the "person" (who is aligned with the narcissistic conceits of the imaginary), the singular self emerges in response to a galvanizing directive arising from the real. This directive carries the force of an obligation that cannot be resisted and that summons the individual to a "character" beyond his or her social investments.

Despite William Shakespeare being regarded as the most significant figure in the Western literary canon, relatively little is known about his early life and his later ‘lost years’. Even the exact date of his birth is uncertain. 23rd April generally accepted to be the date of his birth, could be a scholarly mistake amplified by the coincidence of it also being the date of his death. His iconic status now spans global literature and stems directly from the magnitude of his plays, both tragedies and comedies, and his poetry which is often cited as some of the greatest love poetry ever written.

"Mme Oreille était économe. Elle savait la valeur d'un sou et possédait un arsenal de principes sévères sur la multiplication de l'argent. Sa bonne, assurément, avait grand mal à faire danser l'anse du panier ; et M. Oreille n'obtenait sa monnaie de poche qu'avec une extrême difficulté. Ils étaient à leur aise pourtant, et sans enfants ; mais Mme Oreille éprouvait une vraie douleur à voir les pièces blanches sortir de chez elle."

Giuseppe Pontiggia racconta in questo libro che cosa sono la società italiana e l'esistenza individuale per chi le vive e le osserva in prima persona. Il risultato è un'esperienza letteraria sconcertante che mobilita i registri dell'ironia e della satira, ma lascia anche spazio alla partecipazione emotiva e al coinvolgimento solidale.

Il pittore Klingsor, a soli quarantadue anni, avverte che la sua intensa e luminosa esistenza non potrà durare a lungo, gravata da una vita troppo piena e appassionata. Questa sarà la sua ultima estate. Si immerge nel piacere e nell'agonia della pittura, trovando gioia e ossessione nella creazione artistica. Le sue giornate finali sono accompagnate dall'autenticità dell'amicizia, da un nuovo e delicato amore, e dalla bellezza di una natura che non teme l'abbandono. Con un animo irrequieto, Klingsor vive con veemenza, slancio e impazienza, cercando di trarre ogni istante vivido dalla vita.

This is the history of England told in a new way: glimpsed through twenty-five remarkable poems written down between the eighth century and today, which connect us directly with the nation’s past, and the experiences, emotions and imaginations of those who lived it. These poems open windows onto wildly different worlds – from the public to the intimate, from the witty to the savage, from the playful to the wistful. They take us onto battlefields, inside royal courts, down coal mines and below stairs in great houses.

In Wonderland, she encounters strange creatures like the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts, each more surreal than the last.

Goethe’s two-part dramatic work, Faust, based on a traditional theme, and finally completed in 1831, is an exploration of that restless intellectual and emotional urge which found its fullest expression in the European Romantic movement, to which Goethe was an early and major contributor. Part I of the work outlines a pact Faust makes with the devil, Mephistopheles, and encompasses the tragedy of Gretchen, whom Faust seduces.

When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel", "Hansel and Gretel", and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style.

Paul Valéry est né à Sète le 30 octobre 1871 ; il est mort à Paris le 19 juillet 1945. Essayiste et poète, il est aussi exceptionnel ici que là. C'est un écrivain qui méprise les prestiges faciles de la littérature : l'inconscience bavarde et la satisfaction de parler de soi. Poète, Valéry l'est comme rarement on le fut : froidement. Un poème est pour lui une savante machine verbale plutôt destinée à provoquer une émotion qu'à exposer celle de l'auteur.

Renowned poet and critic Clive James presents the crowning achievement of his career: a monumental translation into English verse of Dante’s The Divine Comedy. The Divine Comedy is the precursor of modern literature, and this translation - decades in the making - gives us the entire epic as a single, coherent and compulsively listenable lyric poem. Written in the early 14th century and completed in 1321, the year of Dante’s death, The Divine Comedy is perhaps the greatest work of epic poetry ever composed.
