Mobbing, Liebeskummer - mal abgesehen von den üblichen Schulproblemen trifft Ismael ein besonderes Schicksal...

The sun has descended below the far horizon. The inky blackness of night begins to envelop the land. Day has gone, and the nocturnal times reveal themselves. But above the dark blanket the moon, whether waxing or waning, stands sentry, and around it vast clouds and swirls of stars regiment themselves. We look up in awe and wonder, frail beneath their vista. Our gloried poets are on hand, though, to capture word and deed, emotion and feeling, friend and foe.

Figure lointaine et floue de la première des "Filles du Feu" publiée en 1854, Angélique entraîne l'auditeur au cœur de l'Idéal et du Romantisme (l'ouvrage est d'ailleurs dédié à Alexandre Dumas, autre grande figure du romantisme). Ce récit, entrecoupé de digressions, à la manière des contes orientaux, agace et retient comme un philtre du temps passé. On ne peut s'arrêter, s'empêcher de continuer à chercher, à la manière de Gérard de Nerval, pour entr'apercevoir finalement Angélique, cette figure d'un amour mythique.

In this audiobook, I first read the poem in slow enunciated French then use simple, everyday French language to explain each individual verse. I then talk about the life of the author, give a full analysis of the poem and finally re-read the poem at a faster speed with a more personal interpretation. Not only is it a great cultural subject but it's a fantastic way to learn new vocabulary, verb tenses and improve your understanding of deeper conversations.
