« L'Arlesienne », chef-d'oeuvre theâtral d'Alphonse Daudet, plonge au coeur des emotions humaines, explorant les themes intemporels de l'amour, de la passion et des tourments de l'âme. Le personnage enigmatique de l'Arlesienne devient le centre nevralgique du drame, sa presence absente, mais ressentie dans l'esprit des protagonistes, nourrit le mystere qui entoure cette femme insaisissable. L'Arlesienne n'est pas simplement une figure feminine absente, mais un symbole puissant qui incarne les desirs inaccessibles et les reves impossibles. Elle devient le miroir refletant les illusions romantiques et les aspirations idealisees, confrontant les personnages a leurs propres limites emotionnelles. C'est une exploration profonde de la nature humaine, de ses desirs inassouvis et de la maniere don't l'amour peut devenir une force destructrice. Daniel Mesguich, dans une performance remarquable, incarne a lui seul tous les personnages, revelant avec talent le langage pittoresque de Daudet et sa capacite a saisir l'essence du terroir provencal. « L'Arlesienne », interpretee par Mesguich, offre ainsi une experience theâtrale captivante et memorable, où l'excellence artistique se mele a la richesse narrative de Daudet. Claude COLOMBINI FReMEAUX "L'Arlesienne", Alphonse Daudet's theatrical masterpiece, plunges to the heart of human emotions, exploring the timeless themes of love, passion and the torments of the soul. The enigmatic figure of L'Arlesienne becomes the neuralgic centre of the drama, her presence absent but felt in the minds of the protagonists, fuelling the mystery that surrounds this elusive woman. L'Arlesienne is not simply an absent female figure, but a powerful symbol embodying unattainable desires and impossible dreams. She becomes the mirror reflecting romantic illusions and idealised aspirations, confronting the characters with their own emotional limits. It is a profound exploration of human nature, it's unfulfilled desires and how love can become a destructive force. Daniel Mesguich, in a remarkable performance, single-handedly embodies all the characters, skilfully revealing Daudet's picturesque language and his ability to capture the essence of the Provencal terroir. "L'Arlesienne", performed by Mesguich, offers a captivating and memorable theatrical experience, where artistic excellence blends with Daudet's rich narrative. Audiobook. In French.

Empires, characterised by cycles of emergence, conquest, domination and decline, have recurring features that suggest a cyclical dimension. With this in mind, we need to analyse the historical lessons that can shed light on the present. The Arab historian Ibn Khaldun, active in the 14th century, developed theories whose relevance remains significant. Professor Gabriel Martinez-Gros, an agrege in history and a specialist in the medieval Arab world, explores Ibn Khaldun's thought and it's enduring influence on contemporary historiography. This biography examines the power relations between wealth and violence, as well as the dynamics between Bedouin and sedentary societies, highlighting the paradox inherent in state power. These analyses encourage us to apprehend the contemporary world through the frameworks of thought forged seven centuries ago. Audiobook. In French.

Following its successful run of unabridged Dickens titles, Naxos AudioBooks has turned its attention to Henry James. Further titles are planned for 2018. In the second novel of James’s celebrated late period, American Lambert Strether is sent to Paris on behalf of Mrs. Newsome, his fiance, to collect her son, Chad. When Strether finds Chad, he discovers an altered man and becomes introduced to a free and unconventional style of life that soon intoxicates him. His views begin to change; the morality of Woollett, his hometown, becomes foreign, and the ‘ambassador’ loses sight of his mission… Part tragedy, part comedy, The Ambassadors is a rewarding portrait about one man’s late awakening. John Chancer is an award-winning narrator of many audiobooks. His soft American accent lends an authenticity to James’s intercontinental tale.

Armed with their swords and muskets, the musketeers are the embodiment of bravery and loyalty, and D’Artagnan, like many young men, dreamed of traveling from his native Gascony to join the ranks of this elite. An unbeatable fighter, D’Artagnan also has a sense of honor very close to pride and he quickly finds himself at the heart of all dangers. With Athos, Porthos and Aramis, D’Artagnan must protect the king and save Queen Anne from the shenanigans of Cardinal Richelieu; all the stability of the kingdom rests on his shoulders. This mythical account of adventure, love and friendship is told for the first time in its integral version. The remarkable interpretation of Bernard Bollet brings to life the masterpiece of Alexandre Dumas, the most fascinating novel of cape and sword.

On the day of his thirtieth birthday, Joseph K. was arrested. Accused of a fault he ignores by judges whom he never sees and in accordance with laws that nobody can teach him, he will push a bewildering number of gates to try to unravel the situation. As the trial grows in its life, each open door is a more alienating closure of the world of judicial proceedings, a true source of confinement and claustrophobia. For a year, an empty instruction of events follows its course under the impotent eyes of K., whose lucidity remains derisory and useless in the face of an implacable judicial machine. The trial, a pivotal piece in the work of this genius, renounces the supernatural to evoke the anguish of obsession.

Long regarded as a “popular” writer, Jehan Rictus, an anarchist and poet of modern misery, nevertheless remains one of the most remarkable artists of the late nineteenth century, and the quality of his work is something that his contemporaries certainly envied. It is time now to hear once again the voice of Jehan Rictus. In his poems with libertarian accents, he chastises the bourgeois, his epoch, the “hideousness” of false charity, false reason, and bigotry. The fair and sensitive interpretation of Daniel Mesguich makes it possible to hear the power of these works orally while giving pieces of life to the ‘little people.’
