"Vie de Jésus" est une oeuvre majeure écrite par Ernest Renan, un philosophe, historien et écrivain français du XIXe siècle. Publié pour la première fois en 1863, cet ouvrage a suscité un vif débat en raison de son approche critique de la biographie de Jésus-Christ. Dans "Vie de Jésus", Renan adopte une perspective rationaliste et cherche à expliquer la vie de Jésus en utilisant des méthodes historiques et scientifiques de son époque. L'oeuvre a été influente dans le domaine de la critique biblique, mais elle a également été controversée en raison de ses interprétations sécularisées et de son rejet de certains aspects traditionnels de la foi chrétienne. Bien que "Vie de Jésus" ait été critiqué par certains milieux religieux, il a eu un impact significatif sur la pensée religieuse et la recherche historique au XIXe siècle. Ernest Renan était une figure importante dans le contexte intellectuel et culturel de son temps.

"Un Philosophe sous les Toits" est considéré comme l'une des oeuvres les plus réussies d'Émile Souvestre et a été apprécié pour sa simplicité, son humour et sa perspicacité dans l'observation de la vie urbaine.

" Il y avait autrefois, au pays de Tango, une bourgade du nom de Mizunoé. Dans cette bourgade vivait un pêcheur, qui s'appelait Ourashima Taro. C'était un homme vertueux, au coeur sensible et bon qui, de sa vie, n'avait jamais fait ni souhaité de mal à personne. Taro revenait un soir de la pêche. La prise ayant été abondante, il rentrait satisfait et joyeux. Sur le rivage, il aperçoit une bande de petits garçons, qui semblaient prendre un malin plaisir à tourmenter une petite tortue, trouvée sur le sable. Taro n'aimait pas qu'on fît souffrir les bêtes. Il eut pitié de la tortue. S'approchant des enfants, et s'efforçant de donner à sa voix un ton impérieux: - Quel mal vous a donc fait, dit-il, cette innocente créature, pour la tourmenter de la sorte ? Ignorez-vous que les dieux punissent les enfants qui maltraitent les animaux ? - Mêlez-vous donc de ce qui vous regarde, répond insolemment le plus âgé de la troupe. Cette tortue n'appartient à personne. Nous sommes libres de la tuer si cela nous fait plaisir. Vous n'avez rien à y voir. Le pêcheur comprend qu'aucun raisonnement n'aura de prise sur ces coeurs sans pitié. Il change de tactique et, d'un ton plus radouci: - Allons, ne vous fâchez pas ainsi, mes enfants ! je n'avais pas l'intention de vous gronder. Je voulais vous proposer un marché. Voulez-vous me vendre cette tortue ? Je vous en donne vingt sous. Cela vous va-t-il ? Vingt sous ! C'était une fortune pour ces marmots. Ils acceptent sans hésiter; Taro leur donne donc deux petites pièces blanches; aussitôt ils courent au village acheter des gâteaux."

"Le Possédé" est un roman de l'écrivain belge Camille Lemonnier, publié pour la première fois en 1896. Voici un résumé global de l'oeuvre: L'histoire se déroule dans la Belgique rurale du XIXe siècle et explore les thèmes de la passion, de la folie et de l'obsession. Le personnage principal, François, est un jeune homme tourmenté par des pulsions intenses et des démons intérieurs. Sa vie est profondément affectée par ses relations tumultueuses avec les femmes, en particulier avec la belle et mystérieuse Mélanie. La trame narrative se développe autour des relations complexes entre François, Mélanie et d'autres personnages du village. Des éléments de surnaturel et de mysticisme sont intégrés, créant une atmosphère sombre et troublante tout au long du roman. Lemonnier explore la psychologie de ses personnages de manière intense, décrivant les tourments intérieurs de François et la manière dont son obsession pour Mélanie le pousse à la folie. Le village devient le théâtre de drames passionnels et de tragédies, dépeignant une société où les émotions brutes peuvent avoir des conséquences dévastatrices. "Le Possédé" est souvent considéré comme l'une des oeuvres les plus puissantes et provocantes de Lemonnier, reflétant son intérêt pour les aspects sombres de la nature humaine. C'est une exploration profonde des forces intérieures qui peuvent conduire à la destruction, et une plongée fascinante dans les profondeurs de l'âme humaine.

In The Story of Scandinavia, political scholar Stein Ringen chronicles more than 1,200 years of drama, economic rise and fall, crises, kings and queens, war, peace, language and culture.  Scandinavian history has been one of dramatic discontinuities of collapse and restarts, from the Viking Age to the Age of Perpetual War to the modern age today. For a thousand years, the Scandinavian countries were kingdoms of repression where monarchs played at the game of being European powers, at the expense of their own populations. The brand we now know as "Scandinavia" is a recent invention. During most of its history, Denmark and Sweden, and to some degree Norway, were bloody enemies. These sentiments of enmity have not been fully settled. Under the surface of collaboration remain undercurrents of hatred, envy, contempt and pity.  What does it mean today to be Scandinavian? For the author, whose identity is Scandinavian but his life European, this masterly history is a personal exploration as well as a narrative of compelling scope.

The main rivers of England are not plentiful. No majestic Nile leisurely meanders through arid regions and bountiful plains on its 3,000-mile journey to the ocean; no thunderous Brahmaputra plummets down its inclines, plummeting two or three miles as it spans half of a continent from frigid mountain summits to balmy coast. The largest rivers in England are merely the smallest, trickling creeks in contrast to these. Despite everything, the earth has always valued our small streams greatly. The rivers Tyne, Severn, Humber, Trent, Thames, Mersey, and Ouse, together with numerous other smaller but equally significant streams, have all contributed to the development of England's history and its subsequent rise to commercial prosperity. Valleys have been uplifted to create new highlands, and entire mountain ranges have vanished from view. Large tracts of land have sunk deep enough to let water to flow in and create new seas, while the ocean floor has been propelled up either abruptly or gradually, giving rise to whole new continents. Geology, the study of rocks and the fossils that are buried in them, has taught us everything we know about the planet.

A friend once asked the author how many countries I had visited and what was on my bucket list, and his reply was that it wasn't filled with things or places, but with people like "The Walnut Man" or "The Albeeno Aborigine" and the Ladyboy in "Bangkok Confidential" that he had met along the way and the stories that they shared about themselves. If anything, a little bit of luck, patience, and an ear for listening have made all the difference in seeing the world through a different set of lenses.The richness of travel is in each footstep taken like walking el Camino de Santiago in Spain, where each day is a new adventure along an 800-kilometer trail filled with stories of personal challenge, hardships overcome, immense satisfaction, and a bookmark in the lives of people from all corners of the world.Each story, each memoir is merely a point in time in someone's life and the reward was having it handed to you as a gift.
