Story0
Vor etwa 2.000 Jahren starb Ovid. Wie kaum ein anderer prägte er die abendländische Kultur. In seinen "Metamorphosen" erzählt er von der Entstehung der Welt und des Menschen. In rund 250 Verwandlungssagen führt er durch die antike Mythologie bis in die Gegenwart des antiken Lesers. Es sind mythische Geschichten von Menschen oder Halbgöttern, die zu Pflanzen, Tieren und Sternbildern werden. Seine "Metamorphosen", geschrieben in Versen und in über 15 Stunden gelesen von Burgschauspieler Peter Simonischek, sind so fantasievoll wie fantastisch und regen immer wieder zu neuen Deutungen an.

Story0
Dante's Inferno by Dante Alighieri. The first part of Dante's Divine Comedy , the "Inferno" (or "Hell"), begins on the night before Good Friday in the year 1300, "halfway along our life's path". Dante is thirty-five years old, half of the biblical life expectancy of 70, lost in a dark wood, assailed by beasts he cannot evade, and unable to find the straight way to salvation. Conscious that he is ruining himself and that he is falling into a deep place where the sun is silent, Dante is at last rescued by Virgil, and the two of them begin their journey to the underworld.

Story0
John Milton's On the Morning of Christ's Nativity is no ordinary Christmas poem. Written when he was just twenty-one, it reveals an early glimpse of the depth and ambition that would later shape Paradise Lost. Here, the nativity is not sentimental but cosmic: a quiet moment that echoes across heaven, earth, and myth. This is poetry as vision—blending classical imagery, biblical themes, and rich musical language. Angels descend, stars pause in wonder, and the natural world falls into a hush. Pagan gods retreat into silence, as if even they recognize the shift in power.

Sélection de vingt poèmes extraits des recueils Paroles, Histoires, La Pluie et le Beau Temps, Soleil de nuit et La Cinquième Saison. Chacun de ces poèmes laisse entrevoir la diversité des tons et des styles du poète. Amour, politique, fantaisie, tragédie, tout est sujet à poèmes pour ce jongleur de mots qu'était Jacques Prévert. Plutôt que de les faire publier, il préférait, dit-on, les faire chanter... Ceci explique peut-être le bonheur que ressent tout auditeur à l'écoute de ces textes savoureux.

Story1
Seule comédie au milieu de la série des onze tragédies raciniennes, cette œuvre a toujours été considérée comme une pièce à part, une réussite isolée difficile à classer. Certains manuels d'histoire littéraire n'en font même pas mention : comment l'insérer dans un chapitre bien ordonné sur la "vocation tragique de Racine" ? Comme chez Aristophane qui l'inspira, caractères et faits sont poussés au-delà du vraisemblable.

L’Eneide non è un semplice poema epico ma il quadro di un passaggio fra il vecchio mondo pagano e il nuovo mondo cristiano (nondimentichiamoci infatti che Virgilio è stato la guida di Dante nella Commedia). Solo un poeta dalla ricca vita interiore come Virgilio, e dal potere evocativo dei suoi versi poteva farsi l’interprete di questo passaggio.

Le Metamorfosi descrivono molte trasformazioni di persone in alberi, bestie, pietre o stelle (o viceversa), ma operano loro stesse una metamorfosi più attraente: quella dei miti greci in piccole novelle fantastiche, con personaggi vivi e svariati per temperamento, raziocinio ed emotività. Nemmeno il successivo appannarsi del prestigio di Ovidio ha mai esaurito la lista dei riverberi letterari delle Metamorfosi, fino a ieri – probabilmente fino a domani.

Avec le génial Louis de Funès dans le rôle de Géronte. Les fourberies de Scapin est une comédie de Molière en prose, créée en 1671 et fortement empreinte de comédie italienne. Du vivant de Molière, qui interprétait Scapin, elle ne connut qu'un faible succès ; à sa mort il devient immense, jusqu'à en faire une des pièces les plus jouées du répertoire français. En l'absence de leurs pères partis en voyage, Octave, fils d'Argante, s'est épris de Hyacinthe, jeune fille pauvre et de naissance inconnue qu'il vient d'épouser, ainsi que Léandre, fils de Géronte, de la "jeune Égyptienne" Zerbinette.

Poème épique de l’Antiquité, L’Odyssée s’ouvre par l’invocation à la Muse et chante les maux innombrables du divin Ulysse, en proie aux longues épreuves du retour depuis la ville sacrée de Troie. Aux prises avec la faveur et la colère des dieux, il lutte pour sa vie et pour celle de ses compagnons—les imprudents dont l’offense faite aux génisses saintes du Soleil leur ravit le jour du retour.

Las cuartetas (rubaiyyat) de Umar Jayyam, poeta persa de los siglos XI y XII , no se conocieron en Occidente hasta que a mediados del siglo XIX las tradujo al inglés Edward Fitzgerald, cuyo prólogo recuperamos en nuestra edición. Las cuartetas se pueden leer de muchas maneras: como un poema extenso; como una recopilación de poemas breves vagamente relacionados; como aforismos acerca de la vida, la moral y nuestra condición de seres mortales; o tal vez como pensamientos que podemos ir eligiendo al azar para inspirarnos cada día.

Purgatorio (Italian: [purɡaˈtɔːrjo]; Italian for "Purgatory") is the second part of Dante's Divine Comedy, following the Inferno, and preceding the Paradiso. The poem was written in the early 14th century. It is an allegory telling of the climb of Dante up the Mount of Purgatory, guided by the Roman poet Virgil, except for the last four cantos at which point Beatrice takes over as Dante's guide.

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.
