Mauro Armiño Ordre des livres (chronologique)

This collection features four thought-provoking masterworks by the Nobel Prize-winning author, presented in a new American translation by Ryan Bloom. It includes Camus's final versions of the plays, along with deleted scenes and alternate dialogue, making this the first time they are available in English. While renowned for his novels exploring absurdism, Camus found joy in the theater, calling it "one of the only places in the world I'm happy." After forming two troupes in Algeria, he moved to Paris, where he staged these original works between 1944-1949. Caligula, his first full-length play, explores the Roman emperor's grief over his sister Drusilla's death, raising existential questions about living in the face of time's relentless passage. The collection also includes The Misunderstanding, which delves into the complexities of longing for home versus the allure of elsewhere; The Just, which examines the ethical dilemmas surrounding political assassination; and State of Emergency, an allegorical piece featuring The Plague as a character, offering fresh insights into contemporary struggles with disease and authoritarianism. Together, these plays illuminate the depths of human experience and the moral dilemmas we face.

Cei trei muschetari (Les Trois Mousquetaires) este un roman de Alexandre Dumas tatăl, care relatează aventurile tânărului d'Artagnan după ce soseşte la Paris în urmărirea visului său de a deveni un muschetar al regelui. D'Artagnan nu este însă unul din muschetarii din titlu; acesta se referă la prietenii săi Athos, Porthos şi Aramis. Romanul este adesea citat cu ortografia greşită "Cei trei muşchetari". Povestea lui d'Artagnan se continuă în alte două romane ale lui Dumas, După douăzeci de ani şi Vicontele de Bragelonne.

À l’Opéra des événements terrifiants se produisent. On accuse un personnage mystérieux qui apparaît et disparaît à sa guise et semble agir en maître des lieux.Le fantôme de l’Opéra, comme lui-même se nomme, commande aux trappes, au lustre, aux miroirs, dicte ses instructions et sème l’effroi. Monstre ou Ange, le fantôme demeure dans les dessous de ce temple de la musique et de la danse, est tendre ou impitoyable, toujours repoussant et parfois humain. Avec ce roman, Gaston Leroux, qui puise dans les croyances urbaines, fabrique un cocktail à dominante fantastique, teinté d’une touche policière, sentimentale et historique.

Vous n'avez seulement qu'à vous laisser conduire. Contentez mon désir, et n'ayez point d'effroi : Je vous réponds de tout, et prends le mal sur moi. " Acte IV, scène 5 ", Le Tartuffe.
