He had taken many risks, which I feel I would not have had the courage to parallel, with the same enthusiasm. I also discovered that he had love...

Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us.Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition ...

Habité par la conviction que Dieu lui avait confié une mission pour son temps et pour le nôtre...

Théologien, prédicateur, historien, romancier, poète, guide et accompagnateur spirituel, John Henry Newman (1801-1890) est un des grands penseurs chrétiens des derniers siècles. Universitaire, clergyman, chef de file du Mouvement d'Oxford qui vise un renouveau profond de l'anglicanisme, il quitte l'Église anglicane pour l'Église catholique en 1845. Mais celle-ci ne sait guère que faire d'un homme ayant une pensée aussi originale et indépendante.Enfin, en 1879, le pape Léon XIII le c...

Le cardinal John Henry Newman, qui sera béatifié le 19 septembre 2010 par le pape Benoît XVI lui-même, est bien connu comme théologien ; il l'est moins comme guide spirituel. Et pourtant Newman est l'un des grands guides et directeurs spirituels des temps modernes.À travers ses multiples sermons et une correspondance immense, il est devenu le guide spirituel de milliers de personnes.

Beggars bush: A comedy presents a dramatic tale of hidden royalty, political takeover, and survival through disguise, set within a shifting social order where identity is constantly performed and questioned. The story follows displaced nobles who conceal their status after a wrongful seizure of power, creating parallel worlds of appearance and truth. A false ruler controls authority while the rightful line operates behind masks and invented roles, turning poverty and marginal spaces into s...

The Spanish curate: A comedy explores social power, moral contrast, and human weakness through a satirical portrait of a tightly structured community shaped by class privilege, legal manipulation, and romantic ambition. The work examines how authority is misused by those who possess wealth and position while quieter figures demonstrate restraint, loyalty, and ethical judgment. Religious office, legal systems, and family control are presented as tools that can either protect or exploit, dep...

The elder brother centers on rivalry within a noble household where inheritance, ambition, and perception determine worth. A contemplative heir, long absorbed in study, appears unsuited to manage estate and alliance, while his more worldly sibling embodies confidence and social ease. Concerned fathers intervene, seeking to redirect succession and secure advantageous marriage through calculated manipulation. Yet circumstances shift when intellectual reserve gives way to awakened desire and ...

The scornful lady is a sharp social comedy built around pride, emotional testing, and the risks of manipulating love to prove loyalty. The story centers on a determined woman who sets an extreme condition for commitment, turning romance into a trial of honor and obedience. This demand drives conflict among close companions and exposes tensions between friendship, desire, reputation, and personal integrity. The dramatic movement relies on quick dialogue, reversals, and ironic situations tha...

The faithful shepherdess presents a pastoral world where desire, jealousy, and deception unsettle fragile harmony among intertwined lovers. At its center stands a devoted figure who withdraws from romantic fulfillment to guard the memory of lost love, choosing spiritual constancy over earthly attachment. Living apart from social entanglements, she becomes a source of healing for those wounded by passion and misunderstanding. As disguises multiply and suspicion intensifies, relationships fr...
