Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Nachtflecht

'Alles wat Saint-Exupéry fertelt docht er mei kennis fan saken. Dat er persoanlik hieltyd mar weroan yn nuodlike situaasjes in oplossing sykje moat, jout syn boek in autentike en ûnneifolgbere bekoaring. Dit ferhaal bewûnderje ik om syn literêre wearde en om't it in weardefol dokumint is. Dy beide kwaliteiten dy't op sa'n ûnferwachte wize gearfoege binne, jouwe oan Nachtflecht syn bûtengewoane betsjutting.' André Gide Vol de nuit is de ferneamdste roman fan De St. Exupéry en waard yn 1941...

Jonathan Swift Gulliver's Travels

Svenska Ljud Classica

When Lemuel Gulliver wakes up on an island after a shipwreck, tied on his hands and feet and with arrows pointed at him, you would think all hope is lost. But his captors are the size of a finger, their rope is as thin as thread, and their tiny arrows barely break the surface of his skin. This is not even as absurd as it gets on Gulliver’s travels at sea, but, hilariously, he has no emotional response to any of it. Jonathan Swift’s ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ (1726) is political satire at its best. Published...

Svenska Ljud Classica

On her deathbed, Mathilda writes a letter to her only friend, revealing the dark secret of her past, a secret so shameful, she can only manage it now because her time is running out.

Though he enjoyed the writing, her father, William Godwin, refused to return the manuscript to her after she asked him to get it published in England, because he found the theme “disgusting and detestable”. The world was,...
