Este ebook presenta "Las Confesiones de San Agustín" con un sumario dinámico y detallado.
Confesiones es un libro en el que san Agustín escribió acerca de su juventud pecadora y de cómo se convirtió al cristianismo. Es ampliamente aceptada como la primera autobiografía occidental jamás escrita, y se convirtió en un modelo para otros autores cristianos de los siguientes siglos. No es una autobiografía completa pues fue escrita tras sus primeros 40 años de vida y vivió hasta los 76, tiempo durante el cual produjo otros importantes trabajos, entre ellos La ciudad de Dios. De todos modos, proporciona gran información sobre la evolución de su pensamiento en sus primeros años. El libro es un acabado trabajo de filosofía y también un importante aporte a la teología.
La obra está dividida en 13 libros. En ellos se narra la niñez de Agustín, su adolescencia y juventud, su carrera académica, su estancia en el maniqueísmo, su proceso personal de acercamiento al cristianismo (ya conocido en la niñez), su conversión, y sus primeras experiencias como católico.
Agustín de Hipona o san Agustín o Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis (354 - 430) es un santo, padre y doctor de la Iglesia católica. El "Doctor de la Gracia" fue el máximo pensador del cristianismo del primer milenio y según Antonio Livi uno de los más grandes genios de la humanidad. Autor prolífico, dedicó gran parte de su vida a escribir sobre filosofía y teología siendo Confesiones y La Ciudad de Dios sus obras más destacadas.
Ce livre numérique présente Tous les Contes et Nouvelles de Maupassant (plus de 320 Contes) avec une table des matières dynamique et détaillée.
Guy de Maupassant (1850 - 1893) a marqué la littérature française par ses six romans, dont Une vie en 1883, Bel-Ami en 1885, Pierre et Jean en 1887-1888, mais surtout par ses nouvelles, (parfois intitulées contes), comme Boule de suif en 1880, les Contes de la bécasse (1883) ou Le Horla (1887). Ces oeuvres retiennent l'attention par leur force réaliste, la présence importante du fantastique et par le pessimisme qui s'en dégage le plus souvent mais aussi par la maîtrise stylistique. La carrière littéraire de Guy de Maupassant se limite à une décennie - de 1880 à 1890 - avant qu'il ne sombre peu à peu dans la folie et ne meure à quarante-trois ans. Reconnu de son vivant, Guy de Maupassant conserve un renom de premier plan, renouvelé encore par les nombreuses adaptations filmées de ses oeuvres.

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.D. (The Complete Unabridged Edition in 6 Volumes)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.D. (1791) is a biography of Dr. Samuel Johnson written by James Boswell. It is regarded as an important stage in the development of the modern genre of biography; many have claimed it as the greatest biography written in English. While Boswell's personal acquaintance with his subject only began in 1763, when Johnson was 54 years old, Boswell covered the entirety of Johnson's life by means of additional research. The biography takes many critical liberties with Johnson's life, as Boswell makes various changes to Johnson's quotations and even censors many comments. Regardless of these actions, modern biographers have found Boswell's biography as an important source of information. The work was popular among early audiences and with modern critics, but some of the modern critics believe that the work cannot be considered a proper biography.
James Boswell, 9th Laird of Auchinleck (29 October 1740 - 19 May 1795) was a lawyer, diarist, and author born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is best known for the biography he wrote of one of his contemporaries, the English literary figure Samuel Johnson, which the modern Johnsonian critic Harold Bloom has claimed is the greatest biography written in the English language.

Notre édition a été spécialement conçue pour votre tablette/liseuse et le texte a été relu et corrigé soigneusement. Extrait: « Si je veux décrire quel événement ce fut pour moi lorsque je jetai un premier coup d'oeil sur les écrits de Schopenhauer, il faut que je m'arrête un peu à cette image qui, dans ma jeunesse, se présentait à mon esprit, fréquente et impérieuse, comme nulle autre. Lorsque je me laissais aller jadis à vagabonder à plaisir pour formuler des souhaits, je me disais que le terrible effort et l'impérieux devoir de m'éduquer moi-même pourraient m'être enlevés par le destin s'il m'arrivait de trouver à temps un philosophe qui serait mon éducateur, un vrai philosophe à qui l'on pourrait obéir sans hésitation parce qu'on aurait plus confiance en lui qu'en soi-même....» Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) est un philosophe allemand, il se réfère à Platon, se place en unique héritier légitime de Kant, et se démarque surtout ouvertement des post-kantiens de son époque; en effet, dès que l'occasion se présente, il critique férocement non seulement les personnalités - de façon souvent « comique » par l'outrance de ses imprécations et de ses « insultes » - mais aussi et surtout les idées de Fichte, Hegel et Schelling, philosophes qu'il exclut non seulement de la filiation de la philosophie kantienne en arguant de leur incompréhension de celle-ci mais aussi, parfois, purement et simplement, de la philosophie. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) est un philologue, philosophe et poète allemand. L'oeuvre de Nietzsche est essentiellement une critique de la culture occidentale moderne et de l'ensemble de ses valeurs morales (issues de la dévaluation chrétienne du monde), politiques (la démocratie, l'égalitarisme), philosophiques (le platonisme et toutes les formes de dualisme métaphysique) et religieuses (le christianisme).

Romain Rolland (1866-1944), est un écrivain français, lauréat du Prix Nobel de littérature en 1915. D'une culture sculptée par la passion de l'art et de la musique (opéra, Michel-Ange, Scarlatti, Lully, Beethoven, amitié avec Richard Strauss) et le culte des héros, il rechercha durant toute sa vie un moyen de communion entre les hommes. Son exigence de justice le poussa à rechercher la paix « au-dessus de la mêlée » pendant et après la Première Guerre mondiale. Tenaillé par son idéal humaniste et sa quête d'un monde non violent, par son admiration pour Léon Tolstoï, grande figure de la non-violence, par les philosophies de l'Inde (conversations avec Rabîndranâth Tagore et Gandhi), l'enseignement de Râmakrishna et Vivekananda, par sa fascination pour Abd-al-Bah (il lui fait référence dans « Clérambault »), puis par le « monde nouveau » qu'il espérait voir construire en Union soviétique.

La Vie de Tolstoï est une biographie critique de Léon Tolstoï écrite par Romain Rolland. Cette biographie est d'abord un hommage de Romain Rolland à un auteur qu'il a aimé et estimé. « Cette grande âme » disait-il en l'évoquant. En trois ans, de 1885 à 1887, les grandes oeuvres de Tolstoï sont traduites en français et publiées à Paris. « Jamais, s'exclame-t-il, une voix pareille à celle de Tolstoï n'avait encore retenti en Europe». Il va exercer alors une grande influence sur la jeune génération des intellectuels français, aussi bien pour l'originalité de ses idées que pour les fresques qu'il brosse de l'histoire russe à travers les deux oeuvres maîtresses de la maturité que sont Guerre et paix et Anna Karénine.

Walden is a book written by Henry David Thoreau. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and manual for self-reliance. First published in 1854, it details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, amidst woodland near Concord, Massachusetts. The book compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development.
Civil Disobedience (Resistance to Civil Government) is an essay that was first published in 1849. In it, Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War.
Slavery in Massachusetts" is an 1854 essay based on a speech he gave at an anti-slavery rally at Framingham, Massachusetts, on July 4, 1854, after the re-enslavement in Boston, Massachusetts of fugitive slave Anthony Burns.
