Though uncompromising, polemical and argumentative, Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) made a lasting impact on 19th-century culture as a multi-talented man of letters. And though his lengthy history of the French Revolution proved his major scholarly legacy, On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History remains perhaps his most popular and accessible work. It presented his deep-seated belief that ‘Universal History, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here’.

Après avoir multiplié les essais, la France semble enfin avoir trouvé les institutions politiques qu’elle cherchait, à la fois légitimes et efficaces. Née en 1958, La Ve république a acquis une longévité inattendue, survécu aux crises initiales, permis l’alternance et pratiqué la cohabitation. Faisant, depuis son instauration, tout aussi bien l’objet d’une admiration parfois aveugle que de critiques plus ou moins justifiées, la Ve République n’aura cessé, et c’est bien normal dans notre débat démocratique permanent, de susciter la controverse. Mais le citoyen, ...

“Un jour viendra où vous France, vous Russie, vous Italie, vous Angleterre, vous Allemagne, vous toutes, nations du continent, sans perdre vos qualités distinctes et votre glorieuse individualité, vous vous fondrez étroitement dans une unité supérieure, et vous constituerez la fraternité européenne”. déclarait Victor Hugo lors du congrès de la paix à Paris en 1849. 173 ans après ce discours, une Union européenne s’est formée, certes sans la Russie et privée désormais du Royaume uni. Mais elle est bien là, cette union de 27 États, forts de leur diversité, et unis face ...

Part novel, part philosophical treatise, part satire, Sartor Resartus is a masterpiece of 19th-century literature, following in the footsteps of Swift’s Tale of a Tub and Sterne’s Tristram Shandy and a key influence on Melville’s Moby-Dick. Bubbling over with ideas, humour and inventiveness, it is—on the surface—a long-suffering British editor’s skeptical account of a German philosopher’s book, Clothes: Their Origin and Influence, which itself is steeped in German idealism.

Sartor Resartus is one of the most unusual, even quirky, British novels to emerge from the first half of the 19th century. Published in 1836, its varied heritage reflects the earlier eccentricities of Sterne and Swift, mixed with influences from Goethe. Its subject matter is strange: it concerns a book called Clothes: Their Origin and Influence by one Diogenes Teufelsdröckh, a German philosopher. Though Thomas Carlyle became a household name in his lifetime, his comic novel Sartor Resartus would prove to have a lasting effect on contemporary writers.

When young Mary decides to take a shortcut through the gypsy camp, her life will be forever altered. An excellent example of the German kunstmärchen, or “literary fairy tales”, "The Elves" tells the story of a young girl who learns both the wonders and the perils of encountering these magical beings. It’s a story of friendship, loss of youth, prejudice, and broken promises.
