Le roman "Sur la route" a provoqué un bouleversement culturel aux États-Unis à la fin des années cinquante, faisant de Jack Kerouac une icône de la littérature spontanée et détabouisée. Considéré comme la bible légendaire de la génération beat, ce livre est une déclaration générationnelle et une réponse au paradoxe social de son époque : bien que l'Amérique fût à son apogée économique, ses maux devenaient de plus en plus visibles. Jack Kerouac (1922 – 1969) est l'un des représentants les plus significatifs de la beat generation, auteur de trois recueils de poésie et de plus de quinze romans souvent autobiographiques. À dix-sept ans, il s'installe à New York, une ville qui lui révèle une passion pour le jazz et le désir d'écrire, tout en l'entraînant dans l'expérimentation avec les drogues. Son amitié avec Allan Ginsberg et William Burroughs a donné naissance à un nouveau mouvement littéraire. L'œuvre de Kerouac est marquée par des influences de la foi catholique, de la méditation bouddhiste et des improvisations jazz. Malgré son aspiration à la liberté et à la spontanéité, il a souffert de dépressions et de solitude, et est décédé à quarante-sept ans à cause de problèmes de santé liés à l'alcool.

Sir Robert Chiltern a vendu un secret d'Etat. L'argent ainsi gagné lui a permis de se lancer dans le monde avec succès et de devenir un homme politique de tout premier plan. Mais personne ne sait d'où il tient sa fortune, à l'exception d'une aventurière qui le fait chanter. En dépeignant ironiquement le mari idéal sous les traits d'un homme politique riche et ambitieux, Wilde souligne la relation entre une institution à ses yeux contestable - le mariage - et les intérêts d'argent et de pouvoir. Mais plus profondément, cette comédie de société joue sur l'écart entre l'irréprochable apparence d'un homme et la réalité que dissimule son masque. Wilde dénonce ainsi les hypocrisies, mais le souci de séduire son public par le mot d'esprit et le paradoxe prime tout, et c'est la grâce de ce langage brillant qui assura le succès de la pièce en 1895.

However, Macbeth's reign is plagued by paranoia and fear of losing power, leading him to further violence, including the murder of his friend Banquo.
