Samuel Lieu. Lecturer in Classical Civilisation in the University of Warwick, considers the French best-seller Les Gnostiques by Jacques Lacarriere which has recently appeared in an English translation, and asks why the book - which deals with a phenomenon which has flourished for centuries on the fringes of religion - has had such remarkable success in France?

Part 2 Bruckner Symphony No 2, in c minor. BBC Manchester

by PETER HANDKE translated by RALPH MANNHEIM with Gawn Grainger
Introduced by Michael Kustow who adapted and directed this monologue at the National Theatre
' I first took the facts as my starting point and looked for ways of formulating them. But I soon noticed that in looking for formulations I was moving away from the facts. I then adopted a new approach - starting not with the facts but with the already available formulations. the linguistic deposit of man's social experience. From my mother's life, I sifted out the elements that were already foreseen in these formulas, for only with the help of a ready-made public language was it possible to single out from among all the irrelevant facts of this life the few that cried out to be made public.' (PETER HANDKE) Produced for radio by !AN COTTERELL (Gawn Grainger is a National Theatre Player)
