So kann es gehen: Der Berliner Zoo braucht Geld, und Zoochef Windhoeck verhökert kurzerhand den Clan der beliebten Erdmännchen an ein Gartencenter im eiskalten Oslo.

An outstanding book for those seeking bite-sized nuggets of timeless wisdom.

-

Thought to have been born in Eleusis, Aeschylus (524BC 456BC) is the subject of both myth and legend. According to the story, at the age of 26, he was working in a vineyard. During that time, he was visited by the Greek god Dionysus, who pointed him towards the theatrical art of tragedy.

In addition to working as a playwright, he served in the Greek army, particularly in the wars against Persia, which heavily influenced his earliest works. When inducted into a secret cult surrounding the goddess, Demeter, Aeschylus revealed many of the sects mysteries in his scripts. As a result, he was accused of religious mockery, although acquitted at his trial.

While he has set the template for tragedians to follow, many of his works have been adapted for film and TV. Perhaps the most notable is Oresteia, starring Diana Rigg and Anton Lesser.

-

Born in New York, Julius Henry Groucho Marx (1890 1977) was an American comedian and, some might say, stand-up philosopher.

Initially, Marx tried his hand at singing but proved 'hopelessly average.' Under his mothers guidance, he formed The Marx Brothers, with his siblings, Adolph, Leonard, Herbert, and Milton. Their breakthrough came in 1914 when, during a performance, a runaway donkey caught the audiences attention. On their return, Marx quick-witted scolding won them over.

After a series of films, Marx pursued a solo career, appearing on TV, stage, radio, and the silver screen. In the character of Groucho, he created an iconic comic figure that is still imitated to this day.

Considered to be the founder of French tragedy, Pierre Corneille (1606 1684) was born in Normandy. While he was expected to become a lawyer like his father, Corneille's exposure to acting at college sowed the seeds for his literary career. After a short stint as a judicial officer, Corneille began writing plays and his first, a comedy called Mélite, was performed in Paris to critical acclaim.

Six years later, under the employ of Cardinal Richelieu, he was to write his first tragedy, Médée. Subsequently, Corneille wrote his finest play, Le Cid, which was adapted for the screen long after his death, starring Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren. His final play, Suréna, was published in 1674.
