Barry Lyndon is a picaresque novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, first published as a serial in Fraser's Magazine in 1844, about a member of the Irish gentry trying to become a member of the English aristocracy. Thackeray, who based the novel on the life and exploits of the Anglo-Irish rake and fortune-hunter Andrew Robinson Stoney, later reissued it under the title The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq. The novel is narrated by Lyndon himself, who functions as a quintessentially unreliable narrator.

Hard Times is the tenth novel by Charles Dickens, first published in 1854. The book surveys English society and satirizes the social and economic conditions of the era. Hard Times is unusual in several ways. It is by far the shortest of Dickens's novels, barely a quarter of the length of those written immediately before and after it. Moreover, it is his only novel not to have scenes set in London. Instead, the story is set in the fictitious Victorian industrial Coketown, a generic Northern English mill-town.

Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, abolitionist, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and his ideology was disseminated through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States. Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of transcendentalism in his 1836 essay "Nature".

The dour, Mr. Darcy is anything but popular with the Bennets, especially when he fancies a member of their clan.

Écrit en 1850 lors d'un voyage en Italie, Lettre à la Présidente est un texte cru, truculent, cocasse, et parfois sombre, adressé à une femme peu ordinaire qui, selon le dire de Gautier, « se montrait supérieure aux autres femmes, d'abord en ce qu'elle était mieux faite, ensuite, parce que, contrairement aux habitudes des personnes de son sexe, elle n'exigeait point qu'on lui fit la cour, et permettait aux hommes de parler devant elle des choses les plus sérieuses et les plus abstraites ».

Une jeune fille, nommée Pauline de Gercourt, avait été mariée à l'âge de treize ans à un négociant fort riche, et plus avide encore de le devenir. Orpheline et mal élevée par un tuteur ami de son époux, et tout à fait dans le même genre, elle épousa M. de Valville, sans connaître la valeur de l'engagement qu'elle prenait, sans avoir réfléchi sur le présent ni sur l'avenir. Alain Carré, voix de France Culture, et de tous les festivals qui honorent la musique des mots, lit l'intégralité d'Histoire de Pauline.
