La vita di Patrizio scorre senza troppi problemi. È sposato con Eugenia, ha un buon lavoro e una grande casa nel sud della Sicilia fornitagli dal comune. A vivere con Patrizio ed Eugenia c'è però anche la madre di lui, la quale sembra esercitare un'influenza morbosa sul figlio. Comprensibilmente, la situazione è sempre più intollerabile per Eugenia. La lente d'ingrandimento di Capuana si posa implacabile su questa strana famiglia, sulle sue tesissime dinamiche, i suoi non detti, l'apatia e l'immobilismo di Patrizio—e cosa sarà mai quell'insistente profumo di agrumi che Eugenia sembra emanare?Uno dei grandi romanzi psicologici della letteratura italiana, Profumo scava nei traumi infantili dei personaggi rivelando come spesso i piccoli dettagli di un passato ormai dimenticato possano influenzare un presente apparentemente perfetto.Luigi Capuana (1839-1915) è stato uno scrittore italiano. Le sue opere di stampo naturalista, tra le quali ricordiamo ‘Il marchese di Roccaverdina’, sono spesso ambientate nella Sicilia rurale di fine Ottocento. Molto interessato alla vita contadina, Capuana farà dell’indagine psicologica dei personaggi uno degli aspetti cardine della sua poetica.

Skuespilkunsten har en lang og spændende historie bag sig, som flere steder i verden strækker sig flere tusind år tilbage i tiden. Gennem århundrederne har ikke blot selve teaterstykkerne ændret sig betydeligt, men også måden, man fremførte dem på, har gennemgået en stor udvikling, som med tiden begyndte at blive kategoriseret i konkrete teknikker og opdelt i skoler inden for faget.Skuespiller Karl Mantzius fortæller om skuespilkunstens historie helt fra oldtiden og op til det 19. århundrede. Sjette og sidste bind fokuserer på klassicismen og romantikken, hvor skuespilkunsten fik lov at blomstre side om side med de andre store kulturelle udviklinger, der fandt sted under disse strømninger. Bogen fortæller om nogle af tidens vigtigste skikkelser og skoler heriblandt Edmund Kean, Oliver Goldsmith og skuespillerfamilien Kemble.Karl Mantzius (1860-1921) var en dansk skuespiller og cand.mag. Han var søn af den berømte skuespiller Kristian Mantzius 1819-1879). Begge optrådte de på Det Kongelige Teater i løbet af det 19. århundrede dog ikke på samme tid.

Zolas zweiter Roman aus dem Rougon-Macquart-Zyklus, der mit satirischen Mitteln die Bourgeoisie kritisiert und als Affront gegen die Sittlichkeit angesehen wurde: Mit 19 Jahren heiratet die aus reichem Elternhaus stammende Renee den alteren Witwer Aristide Rougon. Sie geniet das Luxusleben in vollen Zugen, und beginnt dann mit 30 ein Verhaltnis mit ihrem 20-jahrigen Stiefsohn Maxime.

Guy de Maupassant nella novella Chissà!? descrive la incredibile avventura del protagonista, "un solitario, un sognatore", che viveva nella sua casa, circondato da cose, ninnoli, mobili, ai quali era affezionato tanto da sentirli importanti come persone e che una sera mettono in atto una inspiegabile rivolta e "decidono" di andarsene dalla casa in cui erano "ospiti". Vi torneranno poi, altrettanto misteriosamente, ma il protagonista essendo rimasto sconvolto per l’accaduto, dopo un viaggio, decide di farsi ricoverare in una casa di cura, pensando di poter essere "lo zimbello d’una bizzarra visione. In fin dei conti, chissa!?".Guy de Maupassant è stato uno scrittore, drammaturgo, reporter di viaggio, saggista e poeta francese, nonché uno dei padri del racconto moderno. Maupassant è profondamente influenzato da Zola e Flaubert, nonché dalla filosofia di Schopenhauer, sulla quale egli fonda il suo amaro, angoscioso realismo. I suoi racconti e i suoi romanzi nascono spesso dal disgusto nei confronti dell'ipocrisia, dell'opportunismo, del meschino egoismo della piccola borghesia. Per contro, Maupassant mostra una sensibilità costante verso i tormenti cui sono sottoposti i deboli, coloro che non si possono difendere dalla stupida, ottusa crudeltà dei "benpensanti". Ed ecco comparire in primo piano il mendicante, la prostituta, l'animale, disprezzati e condannati a soffrire senza che nessuno si curi della loro sorte. Le sue novelle si contraddistinguono per lo stile secco, sintetico, e per la lucidità con cui i temi sono sviluppati. Maupassant eccelle nella costruzione dell'intreccio. Gli sono sufficienti poche pagine per fissare in modo straordinariamente incisivo le caratteristiche di una vita intera. Il suo stile sceglie quindi la sintesi piuttosto che l'analisi. In questo egli prende le distanze rispetto agli scrittori naturalisti suoi contemporanei. Con le sue opere ha influenzato numerosi scrittori, tra i quali Ventura García Calderón.

-Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano.En esta leyenda en la que Bécquer se pone en la voz del mismo narrador, cuenta como un día paseando por el barrio de San Jerónimo de Sevilla, se encontró con una venta en la cual había gran algazara y jolgorio. Se decidió a tomar algo en tan agradable ambiente, y, mientras bebía, observó a una hermosa chica, que era la cantante en un coro femenino. Consiguió hacer de ella un bonito retrato a lápiz.  Cuándo se disponía a abandonar la venta, el guitarrista, un chico joven, se le acercó y le pidió que le regalase el retrato de su amada.Después de esto, el autor abandonó Sevilla, donde regresó diez años después. Tras haber paseado por toda la ciudad, retornó al barrio de San Jerónimo, en busca de tan alegre venta. Una vez allí, se dispuso a tomar algo en el mismo lugar en que diez años atrás había estado, pero todo había cambiado. El ventero comenzó a contarle todo lo sucedido allí: la chica a la que había retratado, Amparo, se prometió con el muchacho de la guitarra. Estaban a punto de casarse, cuando un día, se acercaron a tal lugar unas personas pidiendo información sobre Amparo, y...Gustavo Adolfo Claudio Domínguez Bastida (1836 – 1870), más conocido como Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, fue un poeta y narrador español, perteneciente al movimiento del Romanticismo. Por ser un romántico tardío, se lo asoció con el movimiento posromántico. Nacido en Sevilla, después de iniciarse en la pintura sin destacarse lo suficiente, se radicó en Madrid, donde desarrolló su carrera literaria. Pero fue después de su muerte cuando la mayor parte de su obra literaria fue publicada. A pedido expreso del poeta, sus amigos editaron la obra para así poder ayudar económicamente a sus tres hijos, la cual se consolidó como un conjunto de poemas dispersos y relatos, reunidos en uno de los libros mas populares de la literatura hispana.

"e;Avioelamaa: kahdeksantoista aviojuttua"e; on jatkoa August Strindbergin aiemmin julkaistulle novellikokoelmalle "e;Avioelamaa: kaksitoista kertomusta avioelamasta"e;. Toisessa novellikokoelmassaan Strindberg jatkaa avioliittoaiheen kasittelya, mutta ensimmaista osaa synkemmissa tunnelmissa. Novellien aihepiireiksi nousevat niin rakkauden haalistuminen kuin olosuhteiden vaaristava vaikutuskin. Osaa kokoelman novelleista on syytetty jopa naisvihamielisyydesta. Naturalistinen novellikokoelma kohautti ilmestyessaan, ja silla oli myos tuhoisa vaikutus Strindbergin silloiselle avioliitolle. -

August Strindbergin julkaisuaikanaan kohauttaneessa naturalistisessa novellikokoelmassa aiheena on avioliitto, kaikkine hyvine ja huonoine puolineen.

Novellien julkaisuaikana keskustelu naisten asemasta kavi kiivaana, mika nakyy myos novellien aiheissa. Strindberg joutui novelliensa takia myos oikeuden eteen jumalanpilkasta syytettyna, mutta sai vapauttavan tuomion.-

Eine fesselnde Novelle über ein Familiendrama: Bahnwärter Thiel ist ein frommer, schweigsamer Mann, der seine Frau bei der Geburt ihres Sohnes Tobias verliert. Als er nur ein Jahr später die herrische Lene heiratet, steht er zu Hause unter ihrer Fuchtel und schafft es nicht, seinen geliebten Tobias vor ihren Schlägen zu beschützen. Nur in seinem einsamen Bahnwärterhäuschen im Wald kann er seiner verstorbenen Frau gedenken. Als er Lene und seine beiden Kinder mit in den Wald nehmen muss, geschieht ein schrecklicher Unfall, der Thiel in den Wahnsinn treibt.Gerhart Hauptmann (1862-1946) war ein deutscher Dramatiker und Schriftsteller und gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter des Naturalismus. Nach mehreren gescheiterten Studienversuchen, u.a. als Bildhauer und Zeichner, begann er als Schriftsteller zu arbeiten – finanziell unterstützt von seiner Frau. Das Bahnwärterhaus in Erkner, wo Hauptmann einige Jahre lebte, lieferte ihm Inspiration für die Novelle "Bahnwärter Thiel", mit dem ihm 1888 der Durchbruch gelang. 1912 erhielt er den Nobelpreis für Literatur.rn

Juhani Aho (1861-1921) kirjoitti teoksen Hellmannin herra, joka on laajamuotoinen novelli ja ilmestyi ensimmäisen kerran jatkokertomuksena Keski-Suomi-lehdessä vuonna 1886. Se on tyyliltään erilainen kuin Ahon muut teokset. Novellissa herra Hellmann tulee Pohjanmaalta ja on varakkaimpia koko kylässä - varsin itsetietoinen asemastaan, mutta kun pitäjän taksoituslautakunta mietti sopivia veroja itse kullekin, niin herra Hellmannia ei tuo oikein miellytä, ja hän lähtee kertomaan lautakunnan edustajille, mitä ajattelee asiasta ja heistä yleensäkin. Tästähän tietenkin seuraa se, että asiat mutkistuvat ja Aho osaa ottaa aiheesta kaiken irti, josta ei puutu huumoriakaan. Teos tuo esille maaseudun sosiaalisen vastakohtaisuuden ongelmat, ja teos luokitellaankin naturalistiseksi kuvaukseksi. Aho muokkasi teosta uudelleen v. 1904, johon tämä julkaisukin perustuu. Hellmannin herra on hieno ihmiskuvaus myös nykyajan ihmiselle.
