Quitteriez-vous tout ce que vous possédez en échange de l'éternité ? C'est la question existentielle que pose Balzac dans son roman sulfureux, "La Peau de chagrin". Raphaël de Valentin, un jeune homme désabusé, découvre un étrange objet : une peau d'animal capable d'exaucer tous ses désirs. Mais à chaque vœu réalisé, la peau rétrécit inexorablement, raccourcissant ainsi la vie de son propriétaire. Balzac nous entraîne dans une course effrénée où l'ambition dévore Raphaël. Il goûte aux plaisirs de la richesse, de l'amour et du pouvoir, mais chaque instant de bonheur le rapproche inexorablement de sa fin. Le roman devient alors une véritable enquête sur la nature humaine : jusqu'où l'homme est-il prêt à aller pour assouvir ses désirs les plus fous ? Quels sont les véritables prix de l'immortalité et du bonheur ? "La Peau de chagrin" est bien plus qu'un simple conte fantastique. C'est une réflexion profonde sur la condition humaine, sur le passage du temps et sur la quête du bonheur. Balzac dresse un portrait sans concession de la société parisienne du XIXe siècle, où l'apparence et le paraître priment sur l'authenticité. Le roman nous invite à questionner nos propres désirs et à nous interroger sur le sens de la vie. Un récit palpitant, où l'intrigue se mêle à la philosophie, "La Peau de chagrin" est une œuvre incontournable qui continue de fasciner les lecteurs de tous les horizons.

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet.

L'Assommoir (1877) is the seventh novel in Émile Zola's twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart.

William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" is a haunting tragedy that delves into the dark realms of ambition, power, and moral corruption. Set in Scotland amidst a backdrop of supernatural prophecies and political intrigue, the play masterfully employs rich poetic language and tight dramatic structure to explore the psychological descent of its titular character. Shakespeare's use of soliloquies reveals the inner turmoil of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, illuminating their complex motivations and moral dilemmas. The interplay of fate and free will, coupled with themes of guilt and paranoia, situates "Macbeth" within the broader context of Renaissance drama while also addressing timeless human concerns. William Shakespeare, widely regarded as the greatest playwright in the English language, wrote "Macbeth" around 1606, possibly during a period of political instability in England. His own experiences with power dynamics, societal expectations, and the supernatural likely influenced this poignant exploration of unchecked ambition and its dire consequences. Shakespeare's keen understanding of human psychology and the socio-political landscape of his time resonated in his works, with "Macbeth" serving as a powerful commentary on the human condition. "Macbeth" is an essential read for anyone interested in the complexities of human ambition and moral ambiguity. It captivates with its vivid imagery and profound themes, inviting readers to reflect on their own ambitions and the lengths to which they might go to achieve them. This timeless tragedy remains relevant, fostering discussions about ethics, power, and the psychological repercussions of our choices.

Socrates is a 1759 French play in three acts written by Voltaire. It is set in Ancient Greece during the events just before the trial and death of Greek philosopher Socrates. It is heavy with satire specifically at government authority and organized religion. The main characters besides the titular role is that of the priest Anitus, his entourage, Socrates' wife Xantippe, several judges, and some children Socrates has adopted as his own. Like more historical accounts by Herodotus, Plato, and Xenophon, the playwright shows Socrates as a moral individual charged with baseless accusations by a conspiracy of corrupt Athenians or Athenian officials although Voltaire implies that the wrongdoers are a select few. Unlike the historical account, Socrates deals with several judges, whereas his real life counterpart receives his punishment of death by hemlock by a jury of 500 Athenians. The presence or mention of Socrates' best-known students such as Plato, Antisthenes, Zeno of Citium, and others are replaced by unnamed disciples, delivering only a few token lines at the end of the play. Socrates is also portrayed as a monotheist and a victim of religious persecution, an interpretation that is not generally shared by modern scholars and historians. Generally, this is not the most well-known of his works in comparison with Letters on the English which Voltaire published in 1778 or the Dictionnaire philosophique published earlier in 1764. However, hints of his contempt for government and religion are apparent here which later influenced the leaders of the American Revolution and the French Revolution.

William Shakespeare, long hailed as the history's greatest dramatic writer, has been lauded for his mastery of poetic expression, his insight into the human condition and his deep exploration into the psyche and motivations of his characters.

From King Henry V's inspiring speech to his soldiers on the field of Agincourt to the villainous Merchant of Venice Shylock defending his own cruelty, to the shepherdess Phebe from "As You Like It" grappling with her sudden attraction to a young courtier, to Nick Bottom from "A Midsummer Night's Dream," awaking from the strangest dream in history, Shakespeare's monologues are short distillations of his larger themes - love and loss, fairness and inequity, power and envy, lust and purity.

All Brexit's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. . . Written by the Bard himself, with a little help from novelist Boris Starling, this wonderful comedy of errors retells the tragic story of the UK's acrimonious break from the EU, written in wonderful iambic pentameter. From Cameron and Osborne, through May and Gove, to Cummings and Boris, this is a story of cynical electioneering and poisoned political scheming, and a most original take on the defining event of our time. Featuring as hammy a cast of characters as ever graced The Globe, this is the perfect satire for anyone interested in politics, humour, or even a little bit of Am-dram. 'To leave or not to leave, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrag'd Remainers, Or to take arms against a sea of Leavers, And by opposing end them? To leave, to stay, No more; and by leaving to say we end The EU, and the thousand petty rules That we adhere to, - 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To stay, to leave; To stay, perchance to leave: ay, there's the rub; For in that move to leave what dreams may come, When we have shuffl'd off this Brussels yoke...' BORIS JOHNSON

More popular with the commoners, Henry is eventually crowned King Henry IV. All of the Shakespeare plays within the ARGO Classics catalogue are performed by the Marlowe Dramatic Society and Professional Players. The Marlowe was founded in 1907 with a mission to focus on effective delivery of verse, respect the integrity of texts, and rescue neglected plays by Shakespeare’s contemporaries and the less performed plays of Shakespeare himself.

'The sky turns the colour of a jay's eye. The sea turns a deep royal purple. The mist lifts in quick, lithe ribbons, like a conjuring trick. Before us lies the island…' It's 1935, and an eccentric English family – four children, their widowed mother, and Roger the dog – arrives on the sun-soaked shores of Corfu to start a new life. For eleven-year-old Gerry Durrell, the extraordinary landscape provides the perfect playground. Its exotic fauna inspires a life-long fascination with the animal kingdom – and his much-loved memoir My Family and Other Animals. Janys Chambers' acclaimed stage adaptation was first seen at York Theatre Royal, and invites other theatre companies to make ingenious and inventive decisions, bringing to life all the inhabitants of Durrell's cherished island – whether they walk and talk, fly and squawk, crawl or swim or slither.

Susan Glaspell's "Plays" is a remarkable collection that showcases her pioneering contributions to American theater and her incisive exploration of complex social issues. Characterized by its psychological depth and innovative use of stagecraft, Glaspell'Äôs works often dissect the intricacies of gender roles, morality, and the human condition. Noteworthy within this collection are powerful pieces such as "Trifles" and "The Verge," which reveal her ability to blend realism with expressionistic elements, ultimately reflecting the anxieties and aspirations of early 20th-century America.

Her involvement in the feminist movement and her own struggles with societal expectations profoundly impacted her writing. Glaspell'Äôs rich understanding of human psychology and the socio-political landscape culminated in her plays, which challenged audiences to confront uncomfortable truths. This collection is essential for anyone interested in the evolution of American drama and the feminist voice in literature.

A two-play dramatisation of Philip Pullman's extraordinary award-winning fantasy trilogy, first seen at the National Theatre. His Dark Materials takes us on a thrilling journey through worlds familiar and unknown. For Lyra and Will, its two central characters, it's a coming of age and a transforming spiritual experience. Their great quest demands a savage struggle against the most dangerous of enemies. They encounter fantastical creatures in parallel worlds – rebellious angels, soul-eating spectres, child-catching Gobblers and the armoured bears and witch-clans of the Arctic. Finally, before reaching, perhaps, the republic of heaven, they must visit the land of the dead. Note to performers: although conceived for a theatre with rich resources, this adaptation can also be staged in imaginative ways without the aid of sophisticated technology. 'Nicholas Wright... has risen to the challenge with brilliance' - Mail on Sunday '"Unstageable" was the first reaction of the National Theatre's artistic director, Nicholas Hytner, to the idea of dramatising His Dark Materials. But last night's opening has triumphantly proved him wrong' - Sunday Times 'Children's theatre of an uncommon maturity and ambition... dazzling in just the right way... moments of heart-stopping simplicity' - Independent 'The hottest ticket in town long before press day... Book to see it next Christmas' - Financial Times

In "Ghosts," Henrik Ibsen confronts the complexities of morality, societal expectations, and the haunting legacies of the past. Written in 1881, this groundbreaking play employs naturalistic dialogue interwoven with rich symbolism, revealing the inner turmoil of its characters as they grapple with the repercussions of their choices. The narrative centers around Mrs. Alving, who strives to protect her son from the sins of his father while navigating her own suppressed desires and societal norms. Ibsen's critique of 19th-century Norwegian society, coupled with themes of hereditary guilt and the quest for personal freedom, positions "Ghosts" as a pivotal work in the evolution of modern drama. Henrik Ibsen, often referred to as the father of modern drama, drew upon his own experiences and the societal transformations of his time to craft provocative narratives. Raised in a milieu of shifting moral values and witnessing the impact of industrialization and enlightenment, Ibsen's works often reflect a deep concern for individual rights and the often stifling societal constraints placed upon women, as vividly illustrated in "Ghosts." His insights into human psychology beckon readers to explore the darker corners of the human condition. For readers seeking an unflinching exploration of the human psyche, "Ghosts" offers a compelling blend of emotional depth and social critique. Ibsen's masterful storytelling invites reflection on the often-unseen ghosts that shape our lives, making this play not only a critical part of literary heritage but also relevant for contemporary audiences. Delve into the intricate layers of guilt and redemption, and discover how the past informs our present.

But one night in 1993, Mukta is kidnapped from Tara’s family home and disappears. Shortly thereafter, Tara and her father move to America. A new life in Los Angeles awaits them but Tara never recovers from the loss of her best friend, or stops wondering if she was somehow responsible for Mukta's abduction. Eleven years later, Tara, now an adult, returns to India determined to find Mukta. As her search takes her into the brutal underground world of human trafficking, Tara begins to uncover long-buried secrets in her own family that might explain what happened to Mukta—and why she came to live with Tara’s family in the first place. Moving from a traditional Indian village to the bustling modern metropolis of Mumbai, to Los Angeles and back again, this is a heartbreaking and beautiful portrait of an unlikely friendship—a story of love, betrayal, and, ultimately, redemption.

A Clergyman's Daughter is a 1935 novel by English author George Orwell. It tells the story of Dorothy Hare, the clergyman's daughter of the title, whose life is turned upside down when she suffers an attack of amnesia. It is Orwell's most formally experimental novel, featuring a chapter written entirely in dramatic form, but he was never satisfied with it and he left instructions that after his death it was not to be reprinted. Despite these instructions, Orwell did consent to the printing of cheap editions "of any book which may bring in a few pounds for my heirs" following his death. George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. His work is characterized by lucid prose, biting social criticism, total opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism. Orwell produced literary criticism and poetry, fiction and polemical journalism. He is known for the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945) and the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). His non-fiction works, including The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), documenting his experience of working-class life in the north of England, and Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his experiences soldiering for the Republican faction of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), are as critically respected as his essays on politics and literature, language and culture. In 2008, The Times ranked George Orwell second among "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945". Orwell's work remains influential in popular culture and in political culture, and the adjective "Orwellian"—describing totalitarian and authoritarian social practices—is part of the English language, like many of his neologisms, such as "Big Brother", "Thought Police", "Two Minutes Hate", "Room 101", "memory hole", "Newspeak", "doublethink", "unperson", and "thoughtcrime", as well as providing direct inspiration for the neologism "groupthink". ©2022 Eden Garret Giuliano (P) 2021 Eden Garret Giuliano

Old ghosts as well as new ones are coming out of the woodwork, some to test her, some to vex her, and it isn’t only because she’s a mediator, gifted with second sight. From a sophomore haunted by the murderous specter of a child, to ghosts of a very different kind—including Paul Slater, Suze’s ex, who shows up to make a bargain Suze is certain must have come from the Devil himself—Suze isn’t sure she’ll make it through the semester, let alone to her wedding night.

'Fantastic' – James O'BrienThe brilliant mind behind the Secret Tory presents 14 years of Tory rule – as told by William Shakespeare 'O, for a muse of fire that would ascend The brightest heaven of pretention! A kingdom for a stage, Tories to act, Oligarchs to behold the swelling scene!’ So begins The Tories: A Tragedy. In this brilliant new work of political satire, Henry Morris presents fourteen years of Conservative (mis)rule in the only form in which such misfortunes could be portrayed: as a Shakespearean play.

Following his international bestsellers ‘A Short History of Nearly Everything’ and ‘The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid’, Bill Bryson has written a short biography of William Shakespeare for the Eminent Lives series – which seeks to pair great subjects with writers known for their strong sensibilities and sharp, lively points of view.
