Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is one of the greatest texts in the English language. In magisterial prose, Gibbon charts the gradual collapse of the Roman rule form Augustus (23 BC - AD 14) to the first of the barbarian kings, Odoacer (476- 490 AD). It is a remarkable account, with the extravagant corruption and depravity of emperors such as Commodus, Caracalla, and Elagabalus contrasted by the towering work of Constantine, Julian, and other remarkable men.

Rechtzeitig zum 70.

"Corps féminin qui tant est tendre", gémissait le pauvre Villon. Emmêlant le blé à la cuisse, le lierre au torse, la colline à la croupe et le vent de la plaine aux baisers, les poètes du XVIe siècle - qui ont payé chacun de leur mot - nous livrent l'éblouissante image d'une création réconciliée où les termes de "corps" et "d'esprit" savent ne plus aller en s'opposant. Ils sont nos seuls poètes royaux parce qu'ils sont seuls à donner la recette qui permet à chacun de regarder le monde, la mort et le plaisir "à hauteur d'homme".

In Flatland, originally published in 1884, a humble square describes his two-dimensional world to benefit the inhabitants of Spaceland, the three-dimensional realm he discovers when he is visited by a being from beyond his plane. With dry wit and wild imagination, author Edwin Abbott Abbott builds a meticulous fantasy world rooted in an astute apprehension of psychology, politics, and social structures, as well as basic geometry. The story of Flatland, at once ridiculous and profound, delivers an incisive satire of social discourse that remains remarkably relevant today.
