The German doesn't give you any idea of the second? Larry Send a noteboard - 28/02/2011 11:55:29 PM
It's The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde. Don't know any of the others, though.

I am intrigued by the discussion of decadence. And the electrocutions.


Well, since they were named by people responding on the OF Blog, the second one is Goethe's Faust and the electrocution one is from Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar.

I plan on reading and perhaps reviewing several more Decadent works this year.
Illusions fall like the husk of a fruit, one after another, and the fruit is experience. - Narrator, Sylvie

Sadly, no. Languages are not my strong point. I can manage three. Michael - 01/03/2011 08:33:31 AM 638 Views
