"Chère Maître", c'est en ces termes que Gustave Flaubert s'adresse à George Sand. Au fil de la correspondance qu'ils échangèrent, de 1866 à 1876, se révèlent deux conceptions du monde, deux esthétiques, deux tempéraments. La générosité et l'attention aux autres de George Sand et l'esprit torturé et solitaire de Gustave Flaubert. L'amitié forte et durable qui les unira ne sera interrompue que par la mort de George Sand. Cette correspondance, belle d'intelligence, pose sur la société du XIXe siècle, un regard d'une grande pertinence.

The first performance was held in New York in 1922. The five plays included are "In the Beginning", "The Gospel of the Brothers Barnabus", "The Thing Happens", "Tragedy of an Elderly Gentleman", and "As Far As Thought Can Reach".

According to biographer D. J. Taylor, the young Orwell displayed 'an enthusiasm for poetry that in [his] formative years seems to have been as least as strong as any desire to write fiction'. Orwell's poetry is not among his best known – or most highly praised – work, but nonetheless shares similar concerns to (and displays the dry sense of humour present in) his prose. Mere foothills in the range of Orwell's work perhaps – but building up to the summits later scaled. Contents:. Awake young men of England. The Italian soldier shook my hand. Kitchener. Romance.

Biographer Michael Shelden called Orwell’s Politics and the English Language “his most important essay on style”. First published in 1946, the essay exploded the language trends of the time and served as an inflection point in the debate about communication in the 20th century. This collection of essays published 1946-48 provides a comprehensive critique of the status of politics and speech in the mid-century.

Like his great contemporaries, John Keats and Lord Byron, Shelley suffered an untimely death, but still managed to stun the world with a wide-ranging body of work, including poetry, drama, and criticism. His poetry is that of a young man, a lover of nature and fiercely critical of institutionalized corruption, and virtuosic in his use of language and imagery.
