Tolstoï: L'homme derrière les mots (Toutes les Œuvres Autobiographiques de Léon Tolstoï)
Ce livre numérique présente «Tolstoï: L'homme derrière les mots (Toutes les Œuvres Autobiographiques de Léon Tolstoï)» avec une table des matières dynamique et détaillée. Notre édition a été spécialement conçue pour votre tablette/liseuse et le texte a été relu et corrigé soigneusement. Léon Tolstoï (1828 -1910) est un des écrivains majeurs de la littérature russe. Ses premières publications sont des récits autobiographiques Enfance, Adolescence, Jeunesse (1852-1856). Ils rapportent comment un enfant, fils de riches propriétaires terriens, réalise lentement ce qui le sépare de ses camarades de jeu paysans. Il est frappé dès son enfance par le sentiment de l'absurdité de la vie (à la suite de la mort de son père) et il refuse l'hypocrisie des relations sociales. Tolstoï rejette l'État et l'Église. Sa critique radicale de l'État, ses préoccupations envers les masses opprimées, l'importance de ses réalisations pédagogiques, sa recherche de cohérence sur le plan personnel, en ont fait un penseur proche de l'anarchisme. Marqué par des conflits comme la Guerre de Crimée durant laquelle il a été mobilisé et qu'il a relatée dans Récits de Sébastopol, ou les conflits passés telles les Guerres napoléoniennes, qui constituent la trame de son œuvre majeure, Guerre et Paix. Tolstoï entame à partir des années 1870 une sorte d'introspection, en forme de quête spirituelle. En 1879, Tolstoï se retourne vers le christianisme qu'il évoque dans Ma confession. Sa critique des institutions oppressives et sources de violence inspirera le Mahatma Gandhi, ainsi que Romain Rolland. Leur message sera ensuite repris par Martin Luther King, Steve Biko, Aung San Suu Kyi, Nelson Mandela et bien d'autres. Table des matières: Enfance (1852) Adolescence (1854) Jeunesse (1855) Récits de Sébastopol (1855) Ma confession (1879-1882) Une lettre inédite (1902) Tolstoï et les Doukhobors (1902) Correspondance Dernières Paroles (1905) Prank sombody with the fake Windows 10 upgrade screen which never ends.
El Retrato de una Dama
Este ebook presenta «Retrato de una dama» con un sumario dinámico y detallado. Retrato de una dama (The Portrait of a Lady) es una novela de Henry James, publicada originariamente de forma seriada durante los años 1880 y 1881, y como libro ese último año. La historia gira en torno a la joven y atractiva Isabel Archer, quien se ve obligada a trasladarse a Inglaterra desde su Estados Unidos natal. Una vez allí, establece distintas relaciones con otros americanos trasplantados, así como con la sociedad británica. La belleza y distinción de las que hace gala no pasan inadvertidas y son varios y de distinta laya los que la pretenden. Su elección final la llevará, paradójicamente, a poner de manifiesto toda su grandeza. Henry James (1843 – 1916) fue un escritor y crítico literario estadounidense (aunque pasó mucho tiempo en Europa y se nacionalizó británico casi al final de su vida) de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, conocido por sus novelas y relatos basados en la técnica del punto de vista, que le permite el análisis psicológico de los personajes desde su interior. Fue hijo de Henry James Sr. y hermano menor del filósofo y psicólogo William James.
Yo acuso
Este ebook presenta «Yo acuso» con un sumario dinámico y detallado. En 1894, el caso Dreyfus sale a la luz, y se acusa al capitán Alfred Dreyfus, de treinta y cinco años, judío y alsaciano, de alta traición. Pese a las declaraciones de inocencia del acusado, declaraciones que no se hacen públicas, se lo condena a cumplir cadena perpetua en la isla del Diablo, en la Guayana francesa. En marzo de 1896, el nuevo responsable del Servicio de Información (Service de Renseignements), el coronel Picquart, descubre un telegrama que no deja dudas de que Dreyfus no es el informador de los alemanes en el Estado Mayor francés, sino que el verdadero traidor había sido el comandante Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy. Picquart informa a sus superiores y expresa su convicción de que fue un error atribuir el escrito a Dreyfus. No obstante, el Estado Mayor destina a Picquart a la frontera del este y, posteriormente, a Túnez. Los tribunales militares se niegan a revisar el caso Dreyfus y tratan de sofocar el escándalo, pero no logran evitar que algunos rumores alerten a personalidades de la izquierda. En 1897, con la ayuda del periodista Bernard Lazare, del senador Scheurer-Kestner y del diputado Joseph Reinach, Mathieu Dreyfus, hermano de Alfred, promueve una campaña en Le Figaro para exigir que se investigue a Esterhazy y se revise el juicio de 1894. Los conservadores reaccionan de inmediato. Indignado, Émile Zola, próximo a la izquierda radical y a grupos socialistas, entra en liza. La campaña de Le Figaro rompe la conspiración de silencio. En diciembre de 1897, Esterhazy, cuya letra es idéntica a la de los facsimiles del escrito que la prensa ha reproducido, es inculpado y comparece ante un tribunal militar; los jueces lo absuelven en enero de 1898....
Anna Karenina - The Annotated & Unabridged Maude Translation
Widely considered a pinnacle in realist fiction, Tolstoy considered Anna Karenina his first real novel and Dostoevsky declared it to be «flawless as a work of art». His opinion was shared by Vladimir Nabokov, who especially admired «the flawless magic of Tolstoy's style», and by William Faulkner, who described the novel as «the best ever written». The novel is currently enjoying enormous popularity, as demonstrated by a recent poll of 125 contemporary authors by J. Peder Zane, published in 2007 in The Top Ten, which declared that Anna Karenina is the «greatest novel ever written». Plot: A bachelor, Vronsky is willing to marry her if she would agree to leave her husband Karenin, a government official, but she is vulnerable to the pressures of Russian social norms, her own insecurities and Karenin's indecision. Although Vronsky eventually takes Anna to Europe where they can be together, they have trouble making friends. Back in Russia, she is shunned, becoming further isolated and anxious, while Vronsky pursues his social life. Despite Vronsky's reassurances she grows increasingly possessive and paranoid about his imagined infidelity.
