The books published on the subject are so technical that only a person trained in pure physics and higher mathematics is able to fully understand them.

H.D. Thoreau écrit sur le thème de la désobéissance civile, en se fondant sur son expérience personnelle. En juillet 1846, Thoreau fut emprisonné, n'ayant volontairement pas payé un impôt à l'état américain, car il lui reprochait de soutenir l'esclavage qui régnait alors dans le Sud et de mener une guerre contre le Mexique. Il fut content d'être incarcéré pour cet acte posé. Il ne passa qu'une nuit en prison, car son entourage paya la caution, ce qui le rendit furieux. Avec le Discours de la servitude volontaire d'Étienne de La Boétie, La désobéissance civile est un ouvrage précurseur du concept de la désobéissance civile.

Son ami artiste peintre Basil Hallward est obsédé par cette dernière et en tire toute son inspiration. Sa fascination pour le jeune homme le mène à faire son portrait, qui se révèle être la plus belle œuvre qu'il ait jamais peinte, et qu'il ne souhaite pas exposer : « J'y ai mis trop de moi-même ». Dorian va faire la connaissance de Lord Henry, dit Harry, un ami de Basil. Conscient de la fascination et de la perversion que ce dernier pourrait avoir pour son idéal de beauté, « cette nature simple et belle », Basil demande à Lord Henry de ne pas tenter de le corrompre. Mais Dorian se laisse séduire par les théories sur la jeunesse et le plaisir de ce nouvel ami qui le révèle à lui-même en le flattant : « Un nouvel hédonisme […] Vous pourriez en être le symbole visible. Avec votre personnalité, il n'y a rien que vous ne puissiez faire ». Va naître dès lors en lui une profonde jalousie à l'égard de son propre portrait peint par Basil Hallward. Il souhaite que le tableau vieillisse à sa place pour que lui, Dorian Gray, garde toujours sa beauté d'adolescent. « Si le tableau pouvait changer tandis que je resterais ce que je suis ! ». http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1410.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1410.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1410.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1410.mobi J'accuse Emile Zola http://www.feedbooks.com/book/103 urn:isbn:2290339121 fr 1898 Non-Fiction History J'accuse…! est le titre d'un article rédigé par Émile Zola lors de l'affaire Dreyfus et publié dans le journal L'Aurore du 13 janvier 1898 sous forme d'une lettre ouverte au Président de la République Félix Faure.

Written in Wilde's characteristically dazzling manner, full of stinging epigrams and shrewd observations, the tale of Dorian Gray's moral disintegration caused something of a scandal when it first appeared in 1890. Wilde was attacked for his decadence and corrupting influence, and a few years later the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, trials that resulted in his imprisonment. Of the book's value as autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, "Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be--in other ages, perhaps." http://www.feedbooks.com/book/6.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/6.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/6.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/6.mobi Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen http://www.feedbooks.com/book/52 urn:isbn:0553213105 en 1813 Novels Romance Pride And Prejudice, the story of Mrs. Bennet's attempts to marry off her five daughters is one of the best-loved and most enduring classics in English literature. Excitement fizzes through the Bennet household at Longbourn in Hertfordshire when young, eligible Mr. Charles Bingley rents the fine house nearby. He may have sisters, but he also has male friends, and one of these—the haughty, and even wealthier, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy—irks the vivacious Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the Bennet girls. She annoys him. Which is how we know they must one day marry. The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and Darcy is a splendid rendition of civilized sparring. As the characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, Jane Austen's radiantly caustic wit and keen observation sparkle. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/52.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/52.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/52.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/52.mobi War and Peace Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy http://www.feedbooks.com/book/83 urn:isbn:067003469X en 1869 Novels History War War and Peace is a novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russkii Vestnik, which tells the story of Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy's two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world's greatest novels. War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, marriage, age, and death. Though it is often called a novel today, it broke so many conventions of the form that it was not considered a novel in its time. Indeed, Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense.

Several weeks after completing it, I discovered an almost identical plot in Samuel Butler's "Note-books."

Commissioned by the Communist League and written by communist theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, it laid out the League's purposes and program. The Manifesto suggested a course of action for a proletarian (working class) revolution to overthrow the bourgeois social order and to eventually bring about a classless and stateless society, and the abolition of private property. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/209.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/209.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/209.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/209.mobi Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2675 urn:isbn:B00146LZ1C en 1776 Non-Fiction Essay Politics The United States Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, announcing that the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain were no longer a part of the British Empire.

Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, it has long been praised as the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time. The Art of War is one of the oldest books on military strategy in the world. It is the first and one of the most successful works on strategy and has had a huge influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, and beyond. Sun Tzu was the first to recognize the importance of positioning in strategy and that position is affected both by objective conditions in the physical environment and the subjective opinions of competitive actors in that environment. He taught that strategy was not planning in the sense of working through a to-do list, but rather that it requires quick and appropriate responses to changing conditions.
