La tragedia di un poveruomo stritolato da una macchina infernale. E questa prima impressione viene alla fine confermata da un epilogo incerto quanto doloroso. Ma tra la tesi e la sintesi, nel mezzo, si collocano infiniti spunti che meritano una scomposizione analitica, e che spiegano il corso degli eventi che travolgono lo sfortunato carrettiere. Ne voglio cogliere due, perché sono più attuali che mai: la strumentalizzazione della legge e la sua sostanziale ipocrisia.

Gefährliche Leiden- und Liebschaft! Doña Maria D'Avalos und Don Fabricio, Herzog von Andria, haben ein leidenschaftliches Verhältnis miteinander. Doch der Ehebruch bleibt nicht unentdeckt. Die beiden jungen Adligen werden vom eifersüchtigen Gatten der Doña Maria, dem Herzog von Venosa, erwischt und grausam ermordet. In seinem Rachedurst stellt der Herzog die Leichen der beiden Liebenden blutrünstig zur Schau. Im Angesicht des Todes verlieren beide nicht nur ihre Selbstbestimmung, sondern auch ihre Würde, indem sie dem Pöbel ausgesetzt und als Beispiel für moralische Verwerflichkeit hingestellt werden.

In questo quarto volume della tetralogia della Storia contemporanea, il signor Bergeret, promosso docente alla Sorbona, si trasferisce a Parigi con la sorella e la figlia Paolina. Con la sorella esplora il proprio passato, incontrato casualmente nella sua vecchia casa d’infanzia, sfitta e rovinata; con la figlia acquista una brillante ascoltatrice dei suoi discorsi filosofici, divenuti, finalmente, ottimisti.

In questo terzo libro della Storia contemporanea, il signor Bergeret si riconcilia finalmente con la vita. Diventato professore titolare, acquisita la dolce compagnia di un cane, continua, fra riflessioni filosofiche e prese di posizioni politiche del tutto scomode riguardanti l’affare Dreyfus, ad accompagnarci nel viaggio di questa Francia in cui governi radicali e conservatori si alternano, e in cui l’antisemitismo viene considerato patriottico.

In questo secondo volume della tetralogia della Storia contemporanea, che segue “L’olmo del Mail”, troviamo il signor Bergeret impegnato in discussioni politiche sulla corruzione dei funzionari della Repubblica e su questioni di morale cristiana e non, mentre, nella sua vita domestica (di cui il manichino di vimini è ingrato simbolo), egli acquisisce “l’inestimabile vantaggio di essere tradito”.Cornice musicale: A real slow rag, di Scott Joplin.

In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. Love is good. It’s positive, a source of joy, nourishment and all over goodness. But sometimes other more malevolent forces come to play. They infect that love, they see their form as better. Instinctively we would shy away but sometimes its pull is too powerful, almost attractive. We are drawn closer into the shadows.

Love has many forms, many needs. Some fall into the dark, into the shadows. Forbidden love has connotations of desire, of possession but also of matters far more unsavoury. It’s a delicate facet of love that our classic authors explain with careful words and superbly crafted narratives.

Our fear of the Devil, whatever his temptations and rewards, is amplified by the thought of eternal damnation in his hell house service. In this volume our authors are all from Europe and see the Devil in ways that we recognise and yet are culturally distinct to the European mainland.

Whilst faith can be practiced anywhere religious faith is usually at a church or temple. The stories in this volume are centered both in houses of worship and with those with a strong association to its calling. Of course, short story authors have a determined belief in their undoubted talents to make us look at this subject from different angles. In this volume they take us on literary journeys that are revealing and challenging yet always entertaining.

Azt hiszem, a kutya az egyike az ember legsikeresebb háziasítási kísérleteinek. Amióta szolgálatunkba léptek, a legsokoldalúbb barátaink. Társaságot nyújtanak, mikor erre van szükségünk vigasztalnak. Rendőrkutyaként kiszimatolják a bűnt, és szemévé lesznek azoknak, akik nem látnak. Őrzik tulajdonunkat, százféle módon vigyáznak ránk. Ezek a történetek ékesen bizonyítják, milyen hihetetlenül sokoldalú és elbűvölő állatok.

Anatole France (1844-1924) was a French poet, journalist, and novelist who wrote several best sellers. The Revolt of the Angels is a mischievous take on the theology of modern society; it chronicles the thoughts of Arcade, a lowly guardian angel, as he discovers the ugly truths of his divine master in the library of his human charge As Maurice, the young man abandoned by Arcade, struggles to get his guardian back, one gets a view of a wide variety of the author’s artistic personalities, most of whom are fallen angels.

An enchanting collection of some of the greatest short stories ever written by notable French authors.

The problem with the dark is you don’t really know what’s lurking in there. Something hiding? Something menacing? Or just an inky dome for the stars to twinkle on? Writers rarely let us dwell on the latter. No, they would much rather they put our nerves on edge, that our skin would begin to crawl and that the cold sweat of fear propels our pulse and heartbeat to nightmare-inducing trauma. I think they’re ready.

This work vividly examines the lives of artists, nobles, commoners, and members of the Revolutionary Tribunal during the Reign of Terror in Paris. It is through our protagonist that we see how increasing power corrupts ever increasingly. And casting her dark shadow over all is Madame Guillotine.

Mademoiselle Jeanne, drawn by curiosity and the allure of mystery, attends a midnight Mass at the village church, said to be haunted by spirits of the departed. As the night unfolds, the air grows thick with a palpable sense of dread, and the shadows of the past emerge to claim their presence among the living. In the dim candlelight, ghostly figures and ethereal whispers fill the sacred space, weaving an eerie tapestry of fear and fascination. As Jeanne witnesses the ethereal procession, she is confronted with the haunting reality of mortality and the power of faith.
