Story
The three Theban plays by Sophocles - Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus and Antigone - are great landmarks of Western theatre. They tell the story of Oedipus, King of Thebes, who was destined to suffer a terrible fate - to kill his father, marry his mother, and beget children of the incestuous union. He does this unknowingly but still has to suffer terrible consequences, which also tragically affect the next generation.

Story
Despite his early death from tuberculosis at the age of 44, Chekhov was a prolific writer and produced more than 250 short stories in addition to several novellas and a novel. The Russian was also a practicing doctor. A celebrated playwright, Anton Chekhov is often recognised as an influential figure of early modernism of the theatre in addition to being held in high esteem by the likes of George Bernard Shaw and Virginia Woolf, although much praise was not as forthcoming until after his death in 1904.

"Alors que vous êtes pépère dans le métro à écouter de la musique, vous sentez une présence - quelque chose ou quelqu'un - vous épier. Vous n'osez pas vous retourner, car vous avez vu suffisamment de films qui collent les miquettes pour savoir que dès qu'on se retourne, on risque d'avoir très mal. Par chance, cette crise de paranoïa ne durera qu'un temps : le temps pour le musicien de métro de passer près de vous, et de vous offrir sa version, toute personnelle, du "Temps des fleurs".

Qui peut résister à l'odeur du barbecue durant une belle après-midi d'été, alors que les enfants chevauchent un crocodile gonflable dans une piscine elle-même gonflable ? Personne, et sûrement pas les écrivains, qui les premiers succombent à l'odeur délicieuse des mets cuits au charbon de bois. Tels des Jean-François Piège de la littérature, nous allons aujourd'hui, en tout bien tout honneur, sublimer votre tubercule stylistique !

Story
Lady Elyssa despises her echoes - the creatures who look just like her and copy her every move. But it’s only the echoes that mark her as a high noble, someone elite enough to marry the king’s youngest son, Jordan. She can’t get rid of the echoes, so instead she amuses herself by torturing them when no one is looking. But there’s something Elyssa doesn’t know: Her casual cruelty has brought one of the echoes to life. And this echo, Hope, is learning to think and speak and act on her own.

Brianna loves her new job as maid to Lady Marguerite. Like many high nobles, Marguerite is attended by echoes, silent creatures who look exactly like her and move in perfect synchronicity. News soon comes that Marguerite has been invited to the royal city as a potential bride for the crown prince. Brianna is delighted to accompany Marguerite to the city - and perhaps get a chance to continue her own flirtation with Nico, one of the king’s inquisitors. Then, disaster strikes on the road when they come under attack.

Story
A classic of medieval Italian literature, Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron still matters for us today. And Boccaccio scholar Kristina Olson reveals why in the 10 lectures of Books that Matter: The Decameron. Here, you’ll listen between the lines of stories that range from hopeful and spiritual to cynical and bawdy. You’ll hear words turn a sinner into a saint, brutes made noble through the power of love, and riches rediscovered on the open seas.

Story
Terminator revenait du futur pour supprimer le fils de Sarah Connor et ainsi empêcher une guerre atomique. Noble combat. Les écrivains dont nous allons parler aujourd'hui font le travail inverse : ils se projettent dans le futur pour décrire les formes qu'il pourrait prendre : idéales, ou désastreuses. De là à dire que les écrivains sont les anti-Terminator, il n'y a qu'un pas. Pourtant, avouez qu'un Terminator vs. Jules Verne ferait un fameux blockbuster de cinéma. C'est une idée à creuser.

Story
To enjoy this immersive experience on binaural sound, we recommend you listen to this title through earphones. Looking for Notre Dame takes us into the mind of the young Victor Hugo as he begins his research before writing his "cathedral novel" Notre-Dame de Paris. The year is 1828. Victor Hugo is 26 years old. Notre-Dame was then a church in a dilapidated state. Its renovation by Viollet-le-Duc and Jean-Baptiste Lassus will only take place in 1843. Notre-Dame is dying and Hugo wants to resurrect it, bring it back to its past splendor.

"Qu'est-ce que je vais faire de tout cet oseille ?" disait le poète. Et la question mérite d'être posée, en effet. Elle le mérite tellement que nombre d'écrivains l'ont posée au fil des siècles. Car l'argent régit notre monde ! Il suffit de voir les parties de Monopoly : vous ne resterez pas longtemps en jeu sans quelques billets et quelques hôtels bien placés. Écoutez cet épisode d'Hernanani, lisez les romans mentionnés, voyez ce que les écrivains vous conseillent, prenez-en de la graine, ne devenez pas fou, et vous serez le roi respecté de la ville (sans passer par la case prison) !
