La guerre avance. La mission de Michael Gallatin le mène toujours plus au cœur d'un territoire où toute humanité semble se dérober. Ce qu'il découvre dépasse ce qu'il pouvait imaginer. Derrière les lignes ennemies, au fil des révélations, des pièges et des alliances fragiles, se dessine peu à peu une réalité plus vaste, plus trouble : un projet où la science, le pouvoir et la peur s'entremêlent, et dont les conséquences pourraient infléchir le cours de la guerre. Mais le danger ne vient pas seulement de là. Car le loup en Michael commence à prendre le dessus.

The Scottish historian, Robert Balmain Mowat writes, “When this period opens one of the finest epochs in German history had just closed, and a time of confusion begun.” With the death of the Emperor Frederick II, Germany’s many feudal territories became practically hereditary sovereignties, her Free Imperial Cities almost independent states. But within the walls of these city-states, as in their Italian counterparts, commercial life flourished. During this period the Great Schism divided Christendom and was with infinite difficulty resolved. This was the age of Dante, Boccaccio, and ...

Robert Southey was born in Bristol in England in 1774 and appointed Poet Laurete in 1813, a post he grew to dislike. He was an Oxford contemporary and Brother-in-law of Coleridge and a friend of Wordsworth. He was also an active campaigner for the abolition of the Slave Trade. His work was often critised by other romantic poets, particularly Byron who satirised him in his poem Don Juan. Southey was a prolific poet, his complete works were published in 10 volumes in 1837. This is a selection of his shorter Lyric Poems. (Summary by Alan Mapstone)

Bridges' Eros and Psyche retells the Eros (= Cupid) and Psyche myth first recorded by Lucius Apuleius in his book The Golden Ass. The poem is divided into twelve cantos - one for each of the twelve months of the year - which gives the poem a certain, almost "pastoral" feel. The number of stanzas in each canto equals the number of days in that month: so the first canto March has 31 stanzas, the second canto April has 30 stanzas, and so on. Each stanza is a septet (i.e. comprises exactly seven lines) which follow the same end-rhyming schema of a-b-a-b-c-c-b.(Summary by Godsend)

Robert Herrick had been apprenticed to a goldsmith before entering holy orders. This early training has been credited with influencing his metrical precision and his success with short poems. A still more important influence was Ben Jonson, for he was a member of the "sons of Ben," the coterie of younger poets that surrounded that great dramatist, Shakespeare's rival and friend. He even addresses a poem to Jonson addressing him as his "saint." As a country parson, far from the bustle of London and his poetic peers, Herrick found inspiration in the beauties of nature, but loneliness may have ...
