De Bello Gallico Libri Septem by Gaius Julius Caesar (Latin). When Caesar got proconsul of Gallia and Illyria in 58 B.C, the conquest of land in Gaul was an urgent need, both to improve his political standing and to calm his creditors in Rome. So Caesar claims his interest for a very large area already in the first sentence. His steps and measures always appear clear and logic, but this simplicity is the result of a strict discipline in style. Caesar really choses his words, and the list of standard words that he never or rarely uses, is astonishing. E.g. for "river" he only uses flumen ...

Die Erzählung Ein Landarzt von Franz Kafka entstand im Jahr 1917 und wurde 1918 veröffentlicht. Im Jahre 1919 erschien das Buch Ein Landarzt mit der Erzählung gleichen Titels und dreizehn weiteren Prosatexten.Kafka selbst bezeichnete "Ein Landarzt" (die einzelne Erzählung, nicht die Sammlung) als eine der wenigen wirklich gelungenen Erzählungen von ihm. Zweifellos zeichnet sich diese Geschichte auch tatsächlich durch meisterliches dichterisches Können aus. Doch angesichts der zahlreichen anderen hervorragenden Erzählungen offenbart Kafkas Einschätzung von "Ein Landarzt" seinen hohen ...

A timeless, terrifying tale of one mans obsession to create life -- and the monster that became his legacy.

Io sono il dottore di cui in questa novella si parla talvolta con parole poco lusinghiere. Chi di psico-analisi s’intende, sa dove piazzare l’antipatia che il paziente mi dedica. Di psico-analisi non parlerò perché qui entro se ne parla già a sufficienza. Debbo scusarmi di aver indotto il mio paziente a scrivere la sua autobiografia; gli studiosi di psico-analisi arricceranno il naso a tanta novità. Ma egli era vecchio ed io sperai che in tale rievocazione il suo passato si rinverdisse, che l’autobiografia fosse un buon preludio alla psico-analisi.Gli audiolibri tratti da ...

The Odyssey by Homer. Homer's "The Odyssey" forms the template of practically every adventure story that has been told in the West since it was composed nearly three thousand years ago: a bold and ingenious hero (in this case Ulysses, one of the principal warriors who fought at Troy) undertakes a long and perilous journey in the course of which he (or she) must confront many different dangers and temptations, both physical and psychological, before engaging in one final struggle that will prove decisive for the hero, and for all who depend upon the hero. Many episodes in this work have ...

Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales involving mystery and the macabre.

Sidis wrote The Animate and the Inanimate to elaborate his thoughts on the origin of life, cosmology, and the potential reversibility of the second law of thermodynamics through Maxwell's Demon, among other things. It was published in 1925, but it has been suggested that Sidis was working on the theory as early as 1916. One motivation for the theory appears to be to explain psychologist and philosopher William James's "reserve energy" theory, which proposed that people subjected to extreme conditions could use "reserve energy". Sidis' own "forced prodigy" upbringing was a result of testing the...

Messaggio di Giorgia Meloni sul suo avviso di garanzia 28 gennaio 2025

Chaucer's famous and important work is predicated upon the premise that a group of Christian folks from various occupations, familiar in the Middle Ages and a goodly number of them in the Church, are on a pilgrimage to worship at the burial site of Thomas Becket in the Cathedral at Canterbury. The host suggests that to pass the time each traveler tell a tale. So, we are entertained by quite a variety of stories, almost all of which, though, have a moral purpose. Of course, Chaucer and his folk spoke an English that is between the Anglo-Saxon beginnings, which is totally foreign to us, and the ...
