"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."

Il a vu en elle une issue de secours, cherchant désespérément la réponse à toutes ses questions ; il sera pour elle le début d’un enfer, la fin d’une vie simple et légère.

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.

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.

"La legende de Saint Julien l'Hospitalier" est avant tout un conte, conçu pour le plaisir d'être dit et entendu ; un récit dans lequel le héros parvient, à travers une série d'épreuves, à un but qui semblait inaccessible. Gustave Flaubert rédige cette "petite bêtise moyenâgeuse" en1875. Il y a, chez Flaubert, l'ambition de donner à son écriture le poids des choses : son texte doit rendre leur vérité. Pour l'atteindre, il recherche l'expression absolue, d'où sa réputation de besogneux : "Ce souci de la beauté extérieure que vous me reprochez est pour moi une méthode. Quand je découvre une mauvaise assonance ou une répétition dans une de mes phrases, je suis sûr que je patauge dans le faux. À force de chercher, je trouve l'expression juste, qui était la seule et qui est, en même temps, l'harmonieuse".

“A faithful translation is rare; a translation which preserves intact the original text is very rare; a perfect translation of Montaigne appears impossible. Yet Donald Frame has realized this feat. One does not seem to be reading a translation, so smooth and easy is the style; at each moment, one seems to be listening to Montaigne himself - the freshness of his ideas, the unexpected choice of words. Frame has kept everything.” (Andre Maurois, The New York Times Book Review)

It was published four years after his death and came quickly to be regarded as one of his most poetic works. It consists of 10 Walks (only the final ‘Walk’ was unfinished) during which he muses on a variety of topics including thoughts on issues which featured strongly in his notable life as a philosopher and commentator, including education and political philosophy.
