B&R Samizdat Express edition, including Instructtions from Writing History as well as The True History, with links from the table of contents. According to Wikipedia: "True History or True Story is a travel tale by the Greek-speaking Syrian author Lucian of Samosata, the earliest known fiction about travelling to outer space, alien life-forms and interplanetary warfare. Written in the 2nd century, the novel has been referred to as "the first known text that could be called science fiction". The work was intended by Lucian as a satire against contemporary and ancient sources, which quote fantastic and mythical events as truth... Lucian of Samosata (Greek: Λουκιανός ὁ Σαμοσατεύς, Latin: Lucianus Samosatensis; c. A.D. 125 – after A.D. 180) was a rhetorician, and satirist who wrote in the Greek language. He is noted for his witty and scoffing nature. "

Salomé, pôsobivá jednoaktová tragédia, ktorá predstavuje Wildeov prvý veľký úspech v divadle, prepracováva biblický príbeh, v ktorom nevlastná dcéra tetrarchu Herodesa Antipasa žiada hlavu Jána Krstiteľa na striebornom podnose ako odmenu za svoj tanec pre zábavu svojho nevlastného otca. Napísaná v roku 1891 a pripravená na prvé predstavenie v roku 1892, museli byť skúšky Salomé zrušené, keďže hru zakázal Lord Chamberlain kvôli zobrazeniu náboženských postáv. Nezastavený, Wilde sa presunul k salónnym a spoločenským komédiám, za ktoré je dnes najznámejší, a ohromoval londýnske publikum hrami ako Pánova fanfára a Žena bez dôležitosti. Salomé sa napokon dostala na svetlo sveta v roku 1894 v anglickom preklade, sprevádzaná sériou špeciálne objednaných ilustrácií od talentovaného Aubreyho Beardsleyho.

In den 236 Zeichnungen dieses Bandes offenbart sich die geniale graphische Begabung des Engländers Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872-1898). Bereits als Zwanzigjähriger entwickelte er einen Sinn für die unter der prüden Oberfläche schlummenrnde Stimmung seiner Zeit und gab diese in vielen eleganten und auch gewagten Zeichnungen wieder, die die viktorianische Gesellschaft schockten und Berdsley zum berüchtigsten Maler seiner Zeit machten. Die Zeichnungen des jungen Mannes kamen in Mode. Dies war durchaus Beardsleys Ziel, da er aufgrund einer schweren Krankheit wusste, dass ihm keine Zeit blieb, auf großen Ruhm zu warten. Beardsley illustrierte u. a. "Morte d'Arthur„ und Oscar Wildes Skansalstück “Salome„, außerdem war er als Kunstredakteur der Zeitschrift “The Yellow Press" tätig. Seine sensationellen Schwarz-Weiß-Zeichnungen, Titelseiten und Cover machten ihn endgültig einer breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt. Beardsley starb am 16. März 1898 im Alter von nur 25 Jahren an Tuberkolose. Seine Werke jedoch beeinflussten viele ihm nachfolgende Künstler der Art Nouveau wie Pape, Mucha und Clarke.

Aristofanes zaujímal kritický pohľad na všedné, opakované stvárňovanie komických scén, ktoré sám odmietal. Hľadal námety, ktorými by sa od iných komikov líšil svojou originalitou a zároveň poukazoval na spoločenské problémy jeho doby. Dlhotrvajúca peloponézska vojna, ktorej zastaveniu nepomáhali ani snahy umiernených politikov o uzavretie dlhodobého mieru, nedala Aristofanovi pri jeho tvorbe pokoja. Negatívny postoj voči vojne sa snažil vnášať do svojich komédií a neschopnosť politikov dohodnúť sa na mieri a udržiavať ho mimoriadne originálnym spôsobom zobrazil vo svojej hre Lysistrata. Ukazuje v nej, že muži zrejme nedokážu žiť v mieri a bez vojny. Čo by ich teda mohlo donútiť uzavrieť mier a skončiť nekonečné obdobie stále sa roznecujúcich bojov? Aristofanes na to prišiel vo svojej komédii – no predsa ženy! Keď sa muži nedokážu dohodnúť a spoločne zložiť zbrane, začnú ženy rozmýšľať, ako by k tomu mužov donútili. Ony predsa majú rovnako silné zbrane ako muži. Ako svoje zbrane ženy použijú počas vojny na mužov, nám Aristofanes ukazuje vo svojej jedinečnej a veľmi obľúbenej Lysistrate. Publikáciu doplna štvrtá časť komplexnej štúdie Miloslava Okála Aristofanes a aténska demokracia, zaoberajúca sa výchovou, filozofiou a náboženstvom.

Apostolo dell’estetismo di Ruskin e di Pater, squisito imitatore dei melodiosi preziosismi di Gautier (ma anche di Hugo, Flaubert e Huysmans), Oscar Wilde ancora oggi incanta e conquista soprattutto per il prodigioso scintillio della sua prosa, specie lì dove si fa paradossale ironia nel ritrarre spietatamente la società del suo tempo. In questi aforismi sulle donne e sull'amore tornano all'orecchio le irresistibili battute di personaggi celeberrimi creati dallo scrittore, soprattutto "eroine delle sue commedie, da lady Windermere alla "zia Augusta Bracknell" di The Importance of Being Earnest, in un pirotecnico susseguirsi di motti di spirito.
