The iconic Australian exploration story - brought to life by Peter FitzSimons, Australia's storyteller. 'They have left here today!' he calls to the others. When King puts his hand down above the ashes of the fire, it is to find it still hot. There is even a tiny flame flickering from the end of one log. They must have left just hours ago. Melbourne, 20 August 1860. In an ambitious quest to be the first Europeans to cross the harsh Australian continent, the Victorian Exploring Expedition sets off, with 15,000 well-wishers cheering them on.

Story7
Et si le pouvoir d'un lieu était d'écrire votre histoire ? "L'homme venait de me déposer dans un décor de rêve, dont je n'aurais même pas soupçonné l'existence. L'hôtel en lui-même était imposant, majestueux ; les pierres, les grands volets, les immenses platanes tout autour de la cour, la fontaine couverte de mousse qui lui conférait un aspect féerique. Je ne tiendrais pas deux jours, je n'étais pas à ma place."

Jean Racine est un dramaturge et poète français, considéré comme l'un des plus grands auteurs de tragédies de la période classique en France. Le succès d'"Andromaque" en 1667 ouvre une décennie de grande création où l'on trouve à côté d'une unique comédie ("Les plaideurs" en 1668) six grandes tragédies : "Britannicus" (1669), "Bérénice" (1670), "Bajazet" (1672), "Mithridate" (1673), "Iphigénie" (1674) et "Phèdre" (1677).

Story0
Pierre Corneille est un dramaturge et poète français du XVIIe siècle. Issu d'une famille de la bourgeoisie de robe, Pierre Corneille, après des études de droit, occupa des offices d'avocat à Rouen tout en se tournant vers la littérature, comme bon nombre de diplômés en droit de son temps. Il écrivit d'abord des comédies comme "Mélite", "La place royale", "L'illusion comique", et des tragi-comédies "Clitandre", "Le Cid", qui fut un triomphe.
