- Effi Briest DeutschEffi ist siebzehn und spielt noch auf der Schaukel, als man sie mit Baron Innstetten verheiratet, einem steifen Mann, doppelt so alt wie sie, und in eine einsame Stadt an der Ostsee bringt, in ein Haus, in dem es ihrer Meinung nach spukt. Fontane erzählt das leise und ironisch.
- Faust: Der Tragödie erster Teil DeutschFaust, ein Gelehrter, der es satt hat, alles zu wissen und nichts zu fühlen, geht eine Wette mit Mephistopheles ein, der schärfsten und witzigsten Stimme des Stücks. Es führt von einer Hexenküche bis in Gretchens kleines Zimmer, und die Verse schwanken zwischen derben Witzen und echtem Herzschmerz.
- Harding’s Luck EnglishNesbit gets uncharacteristically tender here: Dickie, a lame boy from a Deptford slum, plants some odd seeds and wakes up in Jacobean England, whole and wanted. It's sadder and quieter than her usual romps, and the choice he faces at the end will stay with you.
- Julius Caesar EnglishYou get political persuasion at close range: Brutus speaks as if reason can keep a republic clean, while Cassius understands how fear and resentment move people. The funeral speeches are thrilling to read aloud, but the play leaves you with uneasy questions about honor, crowds, and unintended consequences.
- Othello EnglishIago talks to you directly, and the awful thing is you almost enjoy his company while he wrecks a good man's life over a handkerchief and some careful hints. It's painful in the way only watching preventable disaster is, so save it for when you can take that.
- Richard III EnglishRichard talks straight to you from the first speech, so you end up half rooting for a murderer and enjoying it, especially when he woos Anne over her father-in-law's coffin. If you like villains who make you complicit, this moves fast and never apologizes.
- The House of Arden EnglishTwo squabbling kids inherit a ruined castle and a grumpy white mole who only works magic when they manage not to quarrel, which is harder than it sounds. Nesbit's time-hopping treasure hunt is funny and a bit melancholy underneath, and the bickering feels true in a way most children's books dodge.
