Small stories of ordinary people, to whom extraordinary events can happen (Free will, Macbeth: story of a madman), people who get lost in memories to find meaning in the present (The girl on the bus) or who still find nature in memories of human existence (Memories). A teacher (11th commandment: do not judge) and a mother (A mother) tell of daily life, with its pains and satisfactions, misunderstanding, but also the miracle of finding acceptance in...

Lors de la contemplation du célèbre retable d'Issenheim, une des grandes énigmes de l'histoire de l'art attend le visiteur. Buter sur la présence d'un ange musicien insolite doté d'une crête de paon et couvert de plumes dans le Concert des anges de Grünewald engendre un sentiment de malaise. Quelle audace de la part des concepteurs d'avoir placé un tel être et ses acolytes dans ce Concert qui fête la Vierge à l'enfant ! Trouver dans...

Poetry is a form of expression. I have been trying to write my emotions and thoughts down for a while now. Whether or not it is elegant isn't the point. The point is to express yourself. And this book represents that.

The poems in this collection were composed using only words that appear in the following texts attributed to the legendary, notorious, and infamous Irish-Australian bushranger Ned Kelly, who lived from 1854 to 1880: The Jerilderie Letter, The Cameron Letter, The Babington Letter and The O'Loghlen Letter. The poems use Kelly's spelling and mimic his punctuation and capitalisation. This collection was partly inspired by Peter Carey's novel True...

The DivineComedy resonates across five hundred years of our literary canon. In Dante in Love, A. N. Wilson...

Capturing her for marriage was supposed to be for revenge, not love. We may have lost that battle, but we won't lose the war. The Colombos killed my father now they must pay. I'll take Michael's prize Charlotte Colombo. His one and only child. His princess with thick mahogany hair, baby blue eyes, and a body to die for. I'll make her my own. And make Victor feel my pain.

"Cristaux des dunes'" est une réflexion approfondie sur un microcosme o les observations et les études de l'écosystème se conjuguent à travers une grammaire symbolique, tout en restant comparative. Elle se concentre sur la sensibilité et la sensualité des sens, mais intègre également l'observation du poète à travers sa cognition sociale rapide qui fait émerger une qualité quantitative d'émerveillement dans la conscience. Ce processus...
