However, when things do not go according to plan, and the weather turns, Oakhurst must look deep inside himself to work out what to do.A gritty tale, riddled with tragedy and romance, ‘The Outcasts of Poker Flat’ does not spare the horses when it comes to depicting the difficulties faced by ordinary folk in the Old West.Born in New York, Bret Harte (1836 – 1902) was a prolific poet, author, and journalist. The son of one of the founders of the New York Stock Exchange, Harte’s education was erratic, and he left school at the age of 13.Four years later, he moved to California, trying out a number of jobs, including working as a miner and a journalist. After an unsuccessful stint as a stagecoach guard, he became a schoolteacher.Later, he was hired as an editor for ‘The Golden Era’ magazine. His piece on the Wiyot Massacre resulted in death threats, and Harte was forced to flee to San Francisco. There, he became a journalist for ‘The Atlantic Monthly’ and was instrumental in founding ‘The Californian’, and ‘The Overland Monthly’. The latter was to publish one of his most well-known stories, ‘The Luck of Roaring Camp and Other Sketches’.During his lifetime, Harte published more than 30 books.

"I teatervidenskabelige afhandlinger og artikler fremstilles Reinhardt ofte som blot en viderefører og fuldender af naturalismens illusionsteater. En analyse af Reinhardts opsætning af Strindbergs ’visionære’ dramaer skulle gøre det indlysende, at Reinhardt med disse forestillinger ikke fuldender et bygningsværk, men tværtimod skaber fundamentet til en helt ny teaterstil."Kela Kvam fortæller i afhandlingen her fra 1974 om den tysk-østrigske teaterleder og instruktør Max Reinhardts helt særlige teateropsætninger af den svenske forfatter og dramatiker August Strindbergs skuespil, og om hvad han formåede at tilføre den store forfatters værker, så de fik et nyt og unikt udtryk. I afhandlingen fokuseres der på Max Reinhardts opsætninger af August Strindbergs værker i årene 1912-1921.Kela Kvam (1931-2019) var en dansk forfatter og teaterhistoriker, som blandt andet var ansat på Københavns Universitet og Syddansk Universitet. Hun var den første kvindelige lektor ved teaterstudier på Københavns Universitet og skrev en lang række bøger og artikler om teaterhistorie, dramaturgi og store skikkelser inden for teatrets verden. Kela Kvam blev Ridder af Dannebrog i 1988.

Gerhart Hauptmann (1862–1946) gilt bis heute als einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter des Naturalismus. Inspiriert von der griechischen und römischen Antike wollte er zunächst Bildhauer werden, bevor er nach der Heirat mit Marie Thienemann mit der Schriftstellerei begann.

Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken gehört neben dem Drama Die Weber auch seine Erzählung Bahnwärter Thiel. 1912 erhielt Hauptmann den Literaturnobelpreis.

Der Traumer und Visionar Till Eulenspiegel stellt sich oft dumm, ist aber in Wahrheit ein gerissener Spavogel welcher seinen Mitmenschen dauernd neue Streiche spielt: Auf seinen Abenteuern schlupft er in die verschiedensten Rollen vom Gaukler bis zum Magier, getrieben von seinen Traumen und der leidenschaftlichen Suche nach der Wahrheit spielt Eulenspiegel eine Doppelrolle, einerseits ist er der desillusionierte ehemalige Kriegssoldat, auf der anderen Seite ist er der lustige Spavogel der auf satirische Art die politischen chaotischen Zustande in Deutschland thematisiert.-

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.
