"Der Liebe Goldpfeil hätt ihn treffen sollen,Und nicht des Todes schwarzer Speer ihn holen." William Shakespeares frühe Verserzählung "Venus und Adonis" beschreibt die leidenschaftliche Zuneigung der Liebesgöttin zum schüchternen Adonis, der bei einem Jagdunfall tragisch ums Leben kommt. "Venus und Adonis" ist ein traumhaftes Ineinander von Gedanken, Sprache und Spiel, das Shakespeares Werk durch die Farbigkeit seiner Stilmittel unvergänglich macht.

Doris Lessing broke the rules. Born in Iran and raised in Rhodesia, she moved to Britain with little more than an unpublished novel in her suitcase. Once an ardent Communist, she distanced herself from the movement long before it's attraction faded for others. Always prolific, Lessing continued to explore uncharted territory with her series of science-fiction novels. Based on numerous interviews and sources, this book is a timely portrait of a fascinating woman.

Ces deux nouvelles furent écrites en 1896 et 1898, juste avant et pendant la relation amoureuse de Lou Andreas-Salomé avec Rilke. Un même thème les parcourt : le choix pour une femme de la liberté, sans réserve, au mépris du danger - liberté d'aimer ou de ne pas aimer, hors conventions, liberté de créer - et la traversée des chemins qui y mènent. Traversée de ce qui tue la passion et représente une tentation masochiste pour les femmes : le mariage. Antérieures à ses textes psychanalytiques maintenant bien connus, ces deux nouvelles sont les premiers textes romanesques de Lou Andreas-Salomé jamais publiés en France.

This play is a fictionalized account of the life of William Shakespeare, beginning from his humble origins in Stratford-upon-Avon with his wife, Anne Hathaway, to his life as a successful playwright in London. This play uses several biographical speculations about Shakespeare's life to tell a fascinating tale, such as his relationship with his wife (to whom he famously left his "second-best bed" in his will), his friendship with fellow playwright and competitor Christopher Marlowe, his interactions with Queen Elizabeth I, and an extramarital dalliance with the queen's maid of honor.

According to George Bernard Shaw, Joan of Arc was in fact one of the first Protestant martyrs. She was one of the first apostles of nationalism, and the first French practitioner of Napoleonic realism in warfare. She also refused to accept the specific woman's lot, and dressed and fought and lived as men did. Shaw's exploration of the story of this ingenuous and eponymous heroine is set in six scenes and an epilogue, which takes place in 1456, when the church cleared Joan of the charge of heresy and condemned her accusers of corruption.
