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.

The wisdom accumulated throughout the centuries by scientists, philosophers, and writers is a solid foundation on which modern man can build the future.

Parue en 1880, Boule de Suif a été depuis adaptée de nombreuses fois au théâtre, au cinéma, à la télévision. La mise en scène sonore de l’œuvre met en lumière toute l’ambiance si particulière du contexte historique de la guerre de 1870, et l’interprétation du narrateur et des dialogues amplifie la compréhension de l’extraordinaire analyse de l’auteur face à une société étriquée, dont l’hypocrisie est mise au grand jour. Le personnage principal, Boule de Suif, prostituée au grand cœur, n’en est que plus bouleversant.

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.

This new version of the tragedy of Electra combines the plot lines of the three great tragedians Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides with a sprinkle of Eliot, a dab of Keats, a hint of Shakespeare, an essence of the Eurythmics, Walt Whitman, Nietzsche and others. It presents a feast of blood, anger, love, fear, fateful doubt, revenge and beautiful chaos. Tim Dalgleish and Sally Luff with Carabosse Theatre Company have created a modern take on one of the most profound myths of Ancient Greece.

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.

Это произведение — не только художественный документ времени, но и откровение поэта, стремившегося уловить в катастрофах истории дыхание Воскресения. В этой поэме — не пересказ Евангелия и не иллюстрация к истории, а напряжённое, огненное переживание вечной Пасхальной вести, звучащей сквозь века.
