"Le Tartuffe ou l'Imposteur" est une comédie de Molière en cinq actes et en vers créée le 5 février 1669 sur la scène du Théâtre du Palais-Royal. Orgon est l'archétype du personnage de cour tombé sous la coupe de Tartuffe, un hypocrite et un faux dévot. Il est, ainsi que sa mère, Madame Pernelle, dupe de Tartuffe. Ce dernier réussit à le manipuler en singeant la dévotion et il est même parvenu à devenir son directeur de conscience.

Alongside Baudelaire, Mallarmé, and Rimbaud, with whom he had a stormy relationship, Paul Verlaine is one of the most influential poets of the "fin de siècle". He was one of the greatest representatives of the Decadent movement that began in the 1870s, and a leader of the "Symbolists". His stylistic innovations brought a new musicality to French poetry; it was he who paved the way for modern poetry with its experiments in free verse and new techniques.

"Le bateau ivre" regroupe les poésies de Rimbaud écrits entre 1869 - il est alors âgé de 15 ans - et 1873. Il s'agit de textes en vers, assez courts, que l'auteur a présentés aux éditeurs ou aux écrivains parnassiens.

I brani scelti dall 'Orlando Furioso' di Ludovico Ariosto, vi faranno rivivere le disparate e fantastiche avventure dei cavalieri medioevali e dei loro amori per le donne. Il tradizionale stile cavalleresco è pretesto per uno spettacolo immaginario di duelli e di battaglie, di viaggi incredibili, di mostri e castelli incantati, d'amicizia e d'amore, di tradimenti e d'inganni, narrato con un ritmo irresistibile e con uno stile assolutamente brillante.

I secoli XV° e XVI° in Italia videro il sorgere di una nuova concezione del mondo che si espresse in quei movimenti intellettuali che gli storici hanno chiamato Umanesimo e Rinascimento. Poeti, pittori, scultori e architetti dettero contributi importanti al pensiero morale, didattico, estetico e filosofico.

En este poema alegórico Dante Alighieri muestra un proceso de perfección para alcanzar la felicidad humana y divina. La obra consta de tres partes: Infierno, Purgatorio y Paraíso. Para llegar a éste último es preciso seguir un camino que obliga a pasar por un rechazo del pecado (infierno) y purificación del arrepentimiento (purgatorio) que permitan llegar a la felicidad humana y religiosa (paraíso).

Il Canzoniere di Francesco Petrarca è uno dei capolavori della poesia di tutti i tempi, rappresentando la linfa vitale per tutta la storia letteraria dell’occidente. L’antologia propone una sostanziosa scelta di rime capaci ancora oggi di parlarci con immutata, universale intensità.

Charles Péguy entre à l'Ecole normale supérieure où Bergson fut l'un de ses professeurs. Très tôt, ses prises de position déroutent : croyant, il critique l'Eglise catholique, socialiste, il s'oppose au pacifisme et à l'internationalisme de la gauche, et nationaliste, il ne rejoint jamais la classe bourgeoise. En 1900, il crée sa propre revue, Cahiers de la quinzaine qui représente un témoignage inégalé sur la vie intellectuelle de l'époque.

Die hochkarätig besetzte Hörspielinszenierung des SWR erweckt Vergils mythischen Bericht von der Entstehung Roms auf mitreißende Weise zu neuem Leben. Ein absolutes Muss für alle Klassiker-Fans!

Maudits selon l'expression consacrée et l'ouvrage éponyme que Verlaine publie en 1884, les poètes amants ont exploré ensemble les nouvelles voies poétiques, rejetant les conventions et embrassant l'expérimentation formelle et thématique. C'est ce jeu de sons allié à la puissance du verbe que l'on goûte avec délice grâce à l'interprétation passionnée de cette sélection de leurs poèmes par les grands de la Comédie-Française tels que Robert Hirsch, Jean Piat ou Jean-Louis Barrault.

В этих строках живёт музыка слова и дыхание самой России. Пушкинские поэмы — это не только герои и события, но зеркало человеческих страстей, любви и разочарований, судьбы народа и ритм истории. Здесь сказка встречается с реальностью, поэзия — с драмой, а ирония — с нежностью. В этом собрании — вся полнота голоса поэта: от звонкой юношеской мечты до философской зрелости.

Der Dichter selbst verspricht: "Wir werden sicheren Liebesgenuss und erlaubte Heimlichkeiten besingen, und in meinem Gedicht wird kein Verbrechen gelehrt." Ob das 2000 Jahre alte Lehrgedicht über die Liebe heutzutage noch praktisch hilfreich ist, müssen Jüngere beurteilen. Die ältere Generation mag jedenfalls ihr ästhetisches Vergnügen daran haben. Oder wird man mich schelten, weil ich ein Frauenbild verbreiten helfe, das so gar nicht in unsere Zeit passt (und das ja auch gar nicht meines ist)?

Aristotle's Poetics (Greek: Περὶ ποιητικῆς; Latin: De Poetica) is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory. In it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (a term that derives from a classical Greek term, ποιητής, that means "poet; author; maker" and in this context includes verse drama – comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play – as well as lyric poetry and epic poetry).

After Fame is a discursive rendering of the Roman epigrammatist Martial's Book I. Its 118 poems, on themes such as work, friendship and public life, are modelled after the source material through a variety of 'treatments' - most notably machine translation (for which Latin still presents near-insurmountable difficulties), employing the results as scaffolding for poems that quickly improvise their way clear of their originals.

Paradiso gives our imagination a hint of the beauty to come, by uncovering the deepest reality of the life we are living now. God is the same, eternity past to eternity future; He is the same God today. The great crescendo that is His beauty, dance, song, joy, holiness, and glory we hear but dimly, as from a distance land; but it undergirds and gives meaning to everything we know and experience.
