Historia nauki dowodzi, że wiek XIX był czasem chemii, XX fizyki, a XXI prawdopodobnie będzie wiekiem biologii. Nauki biologiczne należą do tych, które w coraz szybszym tempie spektakularnie wyjaśniają skomplikowane mechanizmy rządzące między innymi światem roślin. W świetle dzisiejszej wiedzy śmiało możemy mówić o inteligentnych zachowaniach roślin.

Z pszczołami ma się sprawa podobnie jak z wieloma rzeczami tego świata. Dostrzegamy różne fakty, śledzimy obyczaje, powiadamy: robią to a to, pracują w ten a ten sposób, królowa tak przychodzi na świat, robotnice są dziewicami, rój następuje w tym a tym czasie. Wydaje nam się, że poznaliśmy wszystko, i nie pytamy o więcej. Widzimy, jak śpieszą z kwiatu na kwiat, obserwujemy rozgwar i ruch ula, a egzystencję tę uważamy za bardzo prostą, wyznaczając jej granice od instynktownego szukania karmy do również instynktownego rozmnażania się.

Maeterlinck, premio Nobel della letteratura nel 1911, poeta e drammaturgo, scrive questo racconto nel 1901. Si fa prima a dire cosa non è l'audiolibro: non è un audiolibro di scienze naturali (come dice l'autore stesso ce ne sono di più completi), non è un audiolibro di filosofia (anche se la visione filosofica e spirituale dell'osservatore permea tutte le sue osservazioni), non è un audiolibro di narrativa (anche se lo scrittore narra come un romanzo, col suo linguaggio ricco e suggestivo, un anno solare della vita di questa affascinante comunità.

Un romanzo complesso in cui Arsenio Lupin interviene solo per sciogliere un enigma che sembrerebbe incomprensibile. Oltre alle vicende misteriose che si intrecciano attorno alle vite di un capitano e di un'infermiera, si tratta di milioni e milioni in oro che vengono trafugati alla Francia. Il ladro gentiluomo, che non ha mai nascosto il suo patriottismo, interverrà in aiuto del suo paese. Il romanzo fu pubblicato in Italia diviso in due volumi: "Il triangolo d'oro" e "La vittoria di Arsenio Lupin".

Maurice Leblanc si cimenta in un romanzo di fantascienza, con eccellenti risultati. Una misteriosa proiezione su un muro mostra eventi della storia passata riprodotti con precisione straordinaria.

Maurice Leblanc, creatore del fortunato personaggio di Arsenio Lupin, ha scritto nel 1916-17 questo romanzo a puntate, che fu pubblicato in Italia in due volumi: "Il cerchio rosso" e "Le avventure di Fiorenza". Il romanzo non vede la partecipazione di Lupin. Quello che non manca sono le avventure e la fantasia dello scrittore, che elegge come eroina una donna coraggiosa e generosa che assume il ruolo di "giustiziera" intervenendo, con mezzi non ortodossi, in situazioni in cui la legge ha le mani legate.

Nove episodi in cui Lupin racconta casi misteriosi da lui risolti, e regalati alla sua vecchia conoscenza Ganimard, e casi in cui si rivela ancora una volta il suo spirito di canaglia ribelle ma di cuore.

Der belgische Literatur-Nobelpreisträger reflektiert im vorliegenden Hörbuch das große Mysterium des Unerklärlichen und Unfassbaren im menschlichen Sein.

Die Antworten liegen laut Maeterlinck nicht in der Vergangenheit, sondern in der Zukunft, aber können Antworten, die noch nicht gegeben sind bereits feststehen ohne einen schicksalshaften radikalen Grundtenor mitklingen zu lassen?

For more than a century, the city of Atlanta has been associated with Black achievement in education, business, politics, media, and music, earning it the nickname "the Black Mecca." Atlanta's long tradition of Black education dates back to Reconstruction, and produced an elite that flourished in spite of Jim Crow, rose to leadership during the civil rights movement, and then took power in the 1970s by building a coalition between White progressives, business interests, and Black Atlantans.
