"Ricordate: voi avete una sola energia. Al livello più basso, viene definita "energia sessuale"; se continuate a raffinarla, se continuate a trasformarla attraverso la meditazione, la stessa energia inizia a muoversi verso l'alto, e diventa amore, diventa preghiera. È la stessa energia, ma a un diverso stadio di trasformazione: il sesso allo stato grezzo è la materia prima; assomiglia a un diamante in una miniera; dev'essere tagliato, lucidato, è necessario molto lavoro perché vi si possa riconoscere il diamante."

André Maurois (1885-1967) est l'un des écrivains les plus importants et les plus connus de la littérature française. Par des romans fins et délicats, il s'est imposé, marquant de son style tout le monde des lettres. C'est par "Les silences du colonel Bramble" qu'André Maurois devient célèbre. Pour écrire ce premier roman, Maurois s'est inspiré de sa propre expérience d'officier de liaison auprès de l'armée britannique. Créant des figures atypiques et extraordinaires de soldats anglais flegmatiques, sages, philosophes, il rend compte d'une joie de vivre toute anglo-saxonne, et ce malgré la guerre, qui est tout de même le sujet réel et la toile de fond du roman.

Oscar Wilde's Salome was originally published in French in 1891 and translated into English by Lord Alfred Douglas. This one-act play, a sinister tale of a woman scorned and her vengeance, has become a landmark of Decadent literature. The play tells the biblical story of Salome, stepdaughter of the tetrarch Herod Antipas, who, to her stepfather's dismay but to the delight of her mother Herodias, requests the head of John the Baptist on a silver platter as a reward for dancing the dance of the seven veils.

I primi romani veneravano una lancia (Marte), un picchio (Pico) e un lupo (Fauno). Infatti Romolo era stato salvato da un picchio e da una lupa, antenati dei Silvi, i re di Alba. Un pantheon ancora semplice: quando Roma ha avuto coscienza di sé come potenza, si è forgiata un passato meno totemico e più cosmopolita. Già i greci del VI e V secolo a.C. ritenevano che l'eroe troiano Enea, caduta Troia, avesse terminato le sue peripezie nel Lazio. Così non è stato difficile ai re Tarquini trovare in Enea e in suo figlio Ascanio l'origine dei Latini.

„Das Leben als Schulkatze wäre geradezu unerträglich, wenn es nicht die Kinder aus der 5a geben würde. Wenn man mich fragt, sind sie nicht die schlimmste Klasse der Welt, sondern die beste.“ Na – das sehen zumindest die Lehrer der Gutenbergschule ganz anders als die räudige Schulkatze Bürste! Stell dir vor: 24 Schüler und einer ist schlimmer als der andere. In dieser Klasse herrscht Chaos pur: Hakim parkt Frau Sammets Auto an einem höchst ungewöhnlichen Ort, Rolfs Fürze zwingen die komplette Lehrerschaft in die Knie, und Ewald fackelt fast die Schule ab.

"Bereits seit einer Stunde oder mehr folge ich den Gängen und Korridoren, die kein Ende nehmen wollen. Mit jeder weiteren Tür, die ich öffne, steigt in mir die dunkle Vorahnung, niemals das zu finden, wonach ich suche. Und vielleicht ist genau das meine Bestimmung, denn ich befinde mich ... in Malpertuis!" Als der junge Jan Grandsire zu seinem sterbenden Onkel Cassavius gerufen wird, glaubt er, zu einer simplen Testamentseröffnung zu kommen. Doch in den labyrinthischen Tiefen des Hauses erwartet ihn ein Grauen aus ferner Vergangenheit.
