Benedicto XIII, el afamado papa Luna, era menudo, extremadamente culto y sofisticado y, sobre todo, terco como buen aragonés —es a su irreductible negativa a abdicar que debemos la expresión popular «seguir en sus trece»—. Fue el último santo padre de Aviñón al que el concilio de Constanza de 1414 depuso y declaró antipapa. Pero ¿qué secreto esconde su trayectoria? ¿Por qué nunca quiso hablar de esa aciaga primavera de 1378 en la que nació el gran cisma de Occidente que perturbó durante treinta años la cristiandad y anticipó la escisión definitiva, un siglo después, de la Reforma?

Le petit Wolfgang adore son père, Léopold Mozart, son guide, son modèle, son dieu vivant. Mais vient le temps où l'enfant prodige s'élève plus haut que le maître, et l'admiration se mue en dédain. L'un rompt, s'émancipe, grisé de passions nouvelles ; l'autre souffre, se résigne, cède sa place, contraint d'inventer des liens différents. Un drame silencieux qui, peut-être bien, s'immisce dans toute relation entre père et fils.

In Summer in Algiers, Camus does not, despite the academic insistence that he must, articulate a concept of knowledge or a theory of lucidity or a nostalgic lament for some imagined unity supposedly shattered by modernity, but rather Camus stages with pitiless Mediterranean dryness a world that appears before interpretation, before metaphysics, before the self that demands meaning, a world of sun and stone and sea and limit whose elemental austerity has been grotesquely misread as sensual celebration by readers desperate to domesticate its severity; for the Mediterranean here is not ...

In June 1940, as Hitler's armies closed on Paris, two German-Jewish refugees fled the city on makeshift bicycles assembled from junkyard scrap. Strapped to a luggage rack, wrapped in oilcloth, was a five-pound manuscript about a mischievous, tailless monkey — the book the world would come to know as Curious George.

Was erhoffte er sich selbst überhaupt davon?
