Les femmes soulèvent à chaque époque - croyant l'inventer - la querelle de l'égalité des sexes, qui dure en vérité depuis que le monde est monde. Dans "Les femmes savantes", Molière s'attaque cependant moins au beau sexe qu'aux cuistres des deux bords. Si Bélise ou Philaminte revendiquent un savoir qui leur encombre la langue sans leur pénétrer l'esprit, l'art et la science de Trissotin se résument également à un ridicule jargon mondain.

"Apparition" est une nouvelle fantastique de Guy de Maupassant. Lors d'une soirée, le marquis de la Tour-Samuel raconte une étrange anecdote. Cela lui est arrivé il y a cinquante-six ans, mais il ne se passe pas une nuit sans qu'il revoit en rêve cette aventure. Cela commença par une rencontre avec un ami qu'il avait perdu de vue depuis cinq ans.

Un amoureux de la nuit déambule à Paris au hasard des rues. Mais, peu à peu, il prend conscience qu'un événement inhabituel va se produire. "Pour la première fois je sentis qu'il allait arriver quelque chose d'étrange, de nouveau. Il me sembla qu'il faisait froid, que l'air s'épaississait, que la nuit, que ma nuit bien-aimée, devenait lourde sur mon coeur. L'avenue était déserte, maintenant. Seuls, deux sergents de ville se promenaient auprès de la station des fiacres."

"Onuphrius ou les vexations fantastiques d'un admirateur d'Hoffmann" est une nouvelle fantastique de Théophile Gautier.

Was will er denn nur, der Rabe, der sich auf dem Kaminsims des einsamen Mannes niederlässt? Warum sagt er nur das eine Wort: "Nimmermehr?" Eines der bekanntesten Gedichte der Schauerromantik.

Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading romances of chivalry that he determines to become a knight errant and pursue bold adventures, accompanied by his squire, the cunning Sancho Panza. As they roam the world together, the aging Quixote's fancy leads them wildly astray. At the same time the relationship between the two men grows in fascinating subtlety. Often considered to be the first modern novel, Don Quixote is a wonderful burlesque of the popular literature its disordered protagonist is obsessed with.

Parisina was first published in 1816. The tragic narrative poem is the sixth, and shortest, in the series of Byron's "Oriental Romances" or "Heroic Tales". Prince Azo, overhearing his wife, Parisina, muttering in her sleep, discovers that she is having an affair with his illegitimate son, Hugo. Parisina and Hugo were engaged to be married before Azo claimed her for his own bride. Hugo is sentenced to death, and Parisina is forced to watch the execution as her punishment.

Young, impressionable Aubrey is fascinated by the enigmatic Lord Ruthven, and accompanies him on a tour to Europe. But Aubrey develops a growing distaste for Lord Ruthven’s sinister and grotesque conduct - especially as it concerns human blood.

William Butler Yeats, the first Irishman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, is not only one of the greatest poets of the 20th century but one of the most widely read. The landscape, myths, legends, and folklore of his homeland lie at the heart of his poetic imagination, and the unique musicality of Ireland adds to the richness of his verse. But the themes of his poetry are universal and timeless: the conflict between life and death, love and hate, and the meaning of man’s existence in an imperfect world.

The Trojan War is over, and Odysseus, the cunning king of Ithaca, sets out for home, his wife Penelope, and his son Telemachus.

Eines der größten Werke der "klassischen" deutschen Literatur und zugleich eines der meistgefürchteten Schullektüren. Hier in der Nacherzählung von Barbara Kindermann. Und so mancher dürfte beim Hören verblüfft feststellen: Es ist ein Werk, das sich seinen herausgehobenen Status bis heute durchaus zu Recht bewahrt hat. Ein Werk zugleich, das sich leider allzu vielen verschließt, weil sich ihnen der zeitgemäße Zugang nicht eröffnet. Dieses Hörbuch liefert endlich Abhilfe.
