Als Götz von Berlichingen 1773 erschien, war das Stück eine Sensation - und machte seinen Autor Johann Wolfgang von Goethe schlagartig weltberühmt. Die Abkehr von der aristotelischen Dramenstruktur der Einheit von Handlung, Raum und Zeit war ein mutiger Schritt; das Sturm-und-Drang-Drama war Vorbild für Schillers "Räuber". Das Drama des rechtschaffenen Ritters Götz von Berlichingen, dessen Freiheitsliebe und Kaisertreue gegen einen intriganten Adel auf verlorenem Posten stehen, ist noch heute ein beliebtes Stück auf den Bühnen - und Bestandteil vieler Literaturlisten der Schulen!

Homer's Iliad is the famous epic poem set among the tales of Troy. Its subject is the anger of the hero Achilles and its consequences for the warring Greeks and Trojans. Unlike other books on the Iliad, this one combines the detailed expertise of a historian with the sensitivity of a teacher of it as poetry. Lane Fox goes on to consider hallmarks of the poem, its values, implicit and explicit, its characters, its women, its gods and even its horses. He argues repeatedly for its beautiful observation and addresses its parallel use of what is, to us, the natural world.

In ihnen zeigt Büchner Menschen im Spannungsfeld von Macht, Freiheit und existenzieller Not – mit einer sprachlichen Präzision und psychologischen Tiefe, die ihrer Zeit weit voraus waren. Auch die Erzählung Lenz zeugt von Büchners einzigartiger Fähigkeit, innere Zustände und seelische Grenzerfahrungen literarisch erfahrbar zu machen. Seine Texte brechen mit klassischen Formen, verzichten auf einfache Antworten und stellen die großen Fragen nach dem Menschen in einer oft widersprüchlichen Welt.

This final play from the pen of Oscar Wilde is a stylish send-up of Victorian courtship and manners, complete with assumed names, mistaken lovers, and a lost handbag. Jack and Algernon are best friends, both wooing ladies who think their names are Ernest, "that name which inspires absolute confidence." Wilde’s effervescent wit, scathing social satire, and high farce make this one of the most cherished plays in the English language.
