"De tout ce que j'ai écrit, les textes qui figurent dans ce livre audio me sont les plus chers. Ils ont trait à ma mère inconnue. Je les ai écrits pour lui parler, pour lui dire ma tendresse, tenter de la faire revivre quelque peu, elle qui n'a pas eu la vie qu'elle méritait. Je sais maintenant que je lui dois mon besoin d'écrire. J'aimerais que, portés par ma voix, ces pages et ces poèmes la tirent de la tombe, la fassent apparaître, lui procurent des amis qui prolongeront sa mémoire."

À 75 ans, Victor Hugo a perdu sa femme, sa fille Léopoldine et ses deux fils. Il se retrouve seul avec ses deux petits-enfants, Jeanne et Georges. Alors que la vieillesse lui apparaît, elle s'entoure de la plus petite jeunesse, et l'art d'être grand-père s'impose à l'auteur : c'est obéir aux plus petits. Sa démarche littéraire se fond avec son dernier recueil poétique, rendre justice aux plus démunis, raconter leurs misères et leur héritage, accepter de n'être qu'un passeur et qu'il faut partir.

Cette histoire n'a qu'un mérite qui lui sera peut-être contesté, celui d'être vraie. L'histoire de Marguerite est une exception, je le répète ; Mais si c'eut été une généralité ce n'eut pas été la peine de l'écrire.

Esopo, il celebre favolista dell'antica Grecia, con molto acume, ironia e soprattutto talento, compose numerose favole dedicate soprattutto agli animali, con chiari riferimenti ai caratteri e alle abitudini degli esseri umani. Profondo osservatore degli uomini, catalogò sotto forma di favole, i vizi e le virtù dei suoi simili, con obiettività e sagacia. Impossibile non sorridere delle sue osservazioni sulle debolezze degli uomini, che nel suo immaginario, sono impersonati da scimmie, cavalli, muli, corvi, leoni e da tutti gli altri animali conosciuti a quel tempo, e non solo.

Written by Susan Glaspell in 1916, Trifles is a one-act play about a woman accused of strangling her husband.

The Swedish playwright August Strindberg was one of the founding fathers of naturalistic theater. A feature of many of his plays is the minute dissection of attitude and motivation by individuals within tightly bound groups. As in the present drama, such relentless inspection of behavior often has drastic consequences.
