Title : The Game of Love and Chance - Marivaux - book
Summary :
Marivaux's charm lies in a unique combination of cruelty and grace, sadness and gaiety. But marivaudage, which evokes banter, a love duel for laughs, a sentimental ballet, does not exist in any of his plays. Nothing is more precise, realistic, than his view of the intermittencies of the human heart and of love, of which he knows all the paths, all the mistakes, all the ruses. In truth, chance plays little role in this comedy where Silvia, to test the sincerity of her fiancé Dorante, pretends to be his servant Lisette, while Dorante does the same with his valet Harlequin. And here is love put to the test by mistrust, social prejudice, timidity, hesitation, smiles and tears.

Title : A Passing Hero - Patrick Poivre d'Arvor - book
Summary : At nine years old, a small peasant from Auvergne born to an unknown father, intoxicated by images of the Napoleonic epic, Alexandre swore to conquer glory. Having amassed a small nest egg in the region's factories, he arrived in the Paris of Louis-Philippe... Lively, audacious, and seductive, he managed to slip into the world of journalism, ruled by Emile de Girardin, the magnate of the popular, high-circulation press. He rubbed shoulders with celebrities, Hugo, Liszt, Gautier, and Nerval, and seduced the most prominent women of Parisian society and demi-mondaine. With the revolution of 1848, a political career opened up to his ambition. Yet it is a shattered destiny, a story of tragically lost illusions, that these feverish, romantic pages tell us, buzzing with balls, duels, intrigues, riots. Pages where the star journalist, author of Les Enfants de l'aube and Lettres à l'absente, seems to speak to us in a low voice about his own wounds.

Title : Complete Theater - Volume 2 - Aristophanes - book
Summary : Through laughter, Aristophanes brings the joy of carnivalesque utopias into the confines of theaters. In The Birds, men weary of earthly bickering join the city of birds to found a new kingdom and compete with the gods for the aroma of sacrifices. On the other hand, it is the world of men that the women of Lysistrata contest: seeing no end to the war, they begin a sex strike, asserting the rights of love and pleasure against the devastation of weapons. The women's chorus of Thesmophoria will extend this hedonistic plea by ridiculing Euripides' misogyny. And that of The Assembly of Women will impose the reign of femininity, by realizing the community of goods that men have contented themselves with dreaming of. As an actor, Aristophanes takes the side of the overthrown orders and enthusiastically joins the joyful procession of rebellious women. Two-volume edition.
