Una de las obras más célebres del poeta Pablo Neruda. "Me gusta cuando callas porque estás como ausente. Distante y dolorosa como si hubieras muerto. Una palabra entonces, una sonrisa bastan.

Marking the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, What Matters in Jane Austen? solves the mysteries of Austen’s fictional world. Jane Austen’s novels have been a staple of the English canon since the nineteenth century. Yet critics of the time did not appreciate the true complexity of her work. Nothing, John Mullan argues, is accidental or coincidental in Austen. As Austen herself said, she wrote for readers who have "a great deal of ingenuity themselves."

Read by award-winning narrator Mike Vendetti. "Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." Comes from this poem.

"Quand le capitaine Épivent passait dans la rue, toutes les femmes se retournaient. Il présentait vraiment le type du bel officier de hussards. Aussi paradait-il toujours et se pavanait-il sans cesse, fier et préoccupé de sa cuisse, de sa taille et de sa moustache. Il les avait superbes, d’ailleurs, la moustache, la taille et la cuisse. La première était blonde, très forte, tombant martialement sur la lèvre en un beau bourrelet couleur de blé mûr, mais fin, soigneusement roulé, et qui descendait ensuite des deux côtés de la bouche en deux puissants jets de poils tout à fait crânes."

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was born in Paris during a time of great social and political upheaval, a ferment that is dealt with extensively in his monumental work In Search of Lost Time. He was a sickly child and spent the earlier part of his short life pursuing a variety of sometimes frivolous activities, which led to his not being taken seriously as a writer. It was not until 1909, when he was 38 years old, that he began work on the groundbreaking novel for which he is known, a task that consumed the rest of his life.
