These five works - George Gascoigne`s "The Adventures of Master F. J"; John Lyly`s "Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit"; Robert Greene`s "Pandosto. The Triumph of Time"; Thomas Nashe`s "The Unfortunate Traveller" and Thomas Deloney`s "Jack of Newbury" - represent Elizabethan fiction at its best. "The Adventures of Master F. J." is a comedy of manners with a sting in its tail. In "Euphues" John Lyly invented a new, elaborate rhetorical style which delighted its Elizabethan audience and has been praised or parodied ever since. "Pandosto" was Shakespeare`s source for "The Winter`s Tale", but Greene`s is a darker story designed to shock the reader accustomed to romantic conventions. "The Unfortunate Traveller" marks the peak of Nashe`s gift for...

Composer une nouvelle anthologie de la poesie francaise serait bien temeraire, si cette initiative n`avait ici pour fin d`offrir au plus grand nombre un durable viatique: pour les plus jeunes, un stimulant apercu du somptueux domaine qui les attend; pour les autres, un discret rappel des syllabes immortelles qui les ont enchantes. De ses origines medievales (Rutebeuf, Villon) jusqu`а la fin du xix siecle (Rimbaud, Laforgue), la poesie francaise est ici representee par "ces vers qui chantent dans la tete alors que la memoire est absente" (Verlaine).

The birth of neoclassicism. This spectacular compilation of plates, representing a superb collection of ancient vases, is the fruit of a collaboration between Sir William Hamilton (1730-1803), British diplomat and collector, and Pierre-Francois Hugues d`Hancarville (1719-1805), an adventurous connoisseur and amateur art dealer. As an envoy to the British Embassy in Naples, Hamilton developed a keen interest in both antiquity and volcanology, studying the royal excavations of Pompei and Hercolano and publishing the first scientific essays on mount Vesuvius. During his stay in Naples he built the finest collection of ancient vases of his time, which he sold, in 1772, to the British Museum in London. Before the invaluable pieces were...
