  • The plague

    Camus, Albert

    Abstract

    In the small coastal city of Oran, Algeria, rats begin rising up from the filth only to die as bloody heaps in the streets. Shortly after, an outbreak of the bubonic plague erupts and envelops the human population. Albert Camus' The Plague is a brilliant and haunting rendering of human perseverance and futility in the face of a relentless terror born of nature.

  • Les voyages d'Ulysse

    Creator

    Leconte de Lisle

    Abstract

    Les aventures que rencontre Ulysse, l'un des principaux stratèges du siège de Troie, lors de son retour dans sa patrie portent son nom : Odysseus (soit Ulysse en grec) ou Odyssée en français. Des 24 chapitres qui composent l'Odyssée nous n'avons conservé que les plus célèbres, le texte étant une adaptation de la traduction de Leconte de LIsle publiée dans les années 1870. On y a apporté quelques amendements en préservant sa valeur littéraire et tout en lui rendant, quand c'était possible, la vigueur de la parole.

  • The beautiful and damned
