"The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in 8 Fits" is usually thought of as a nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) in 1874, when he was 42 years old.

Oscar Wilde est un écrivain irlandais. Il se construit un personnage d'esthète et de dandy. À l'issue de ses études, Wilde s'installe à Londres, où il parvient à s'insérer dans la bonne société et les cercles cultivés, s'illustrant dans plusieurs genres littéraires. Au tournant des années 1890, il précise sa théorie esthétique dans une série de dialogues et d'essais, et explore dans son roman "Le portrait de Dorian Gray" (1890) les liens entretenus par la beauté, la décadence et la duplicité.

Emi Laará viene con cuentos afrocubanos para jóvenes. También para los adultos que se les animen a una mezcla vivaz de aventuras, religión y humor. Hebert Poll Gutiérrez lo escribió junto a su madre, Gladys Felicia Gutiérrez Rodríguez, quien le contaba estos relatos cuando él era chico. Hay en este libro un gesto de preservación/reelaboración de la cultura afrocubana, que encuentra una vuelta de tuerca en la mirada humana sobre los dioses y sus aventuras, a veces francamente disparatadas.

L'idea centrale è un ménage a trois, lui, lei e il di lui migliore amico. Ma è un ménage à trois ben diverso da quelli cui siamo abituati. Il migliore amico ha sofferto in silenzio, vivendosi un amore platonico che perdiana, non vale mai quanto un amore epicureo, visto che Madonna Fiammetta si mangia in insalata qualunque Beatrice o Laura. Poi "lui" muore, e rimangono "lei" e l'amico. Ad amarsi, chiaro.
