This book contains now several HTML tables of contents that will make reading a real pleasure! Life on the Mississippi is a memoir by Mark Twain detailing his days as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before and after the American Civil War. The book begins with a brief history of the river. It continues with anecdotes of Twain's training as a steamboat pilot, as the 'cub' of an experienced pilot. He describes, with great affection, the science of navigating the ever-changing Mississippi River. In the second half, the book describes Twain's return, many years later, to travel on a steamboat from St. Louis to New Orleans. He describes the competition from railroads, the new, large cities, and his observations on greed, gullibility, tragedy, and bad architecture. He also tells some stories that are most likely tall tales. Simultaneously published in 1883 in the U.S. and in England, it is said to be the first book composed on a typewriter.

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning (somewhat mistakenly - see inductive reasoning) and astute observation to solve difficult cases. He is arguably the most famous fictional detective ever created, and is one of the best known and most universally recognizable literary characters in any genre. Conan Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short stories that featured Holmes. All but four stories were narrated by Holmes' friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson, two having been narrated by Holmes himself, and two others written in the third person. The first two stories, short novels, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887 and Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two serialized novels appeared almost right up to Conan Doyle's death in 1930. The stories cover a period from around 1878 up to 1903, with a final case in 1914. in this collection you will find: Novels: • A Study in Scarlet • The Sign of the Four • The Hound of the Baskervilles • The Valley of Fear Short Story Collections: • The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes • The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes • The Return of Sherlock Holmes • His Last Bow • The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes

In exchange for this Dorian gives up his soul and as he ages the bad deeds that he commits are reflected in his painting and not him. "The Picture of Dorian Gray", arguably Wilde's most popular work, was considered quite scandalous when it was first published in the late 1800s in Victorian England.

Heart of Darkness is a novella written by Polish-born writer Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski). Before its 1902 publication, it appeared as a three-part series (1899) in Blackwood's Magazine. It is widely regarded as a significant work of English literature and part of the Western canon. This highly symbolic story is actually a story within a story, or frame narrative. It follows Marlow as he recounts, from dusk through to late night, his adventure into the Congo to a group of men aboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary. The story details an incident when Marlow, an Englishman, took a foreign assignment as a ferry-boat captain, employed by a Belgian trading company. Although the river is never specifically named, readers may assume it is the Congo River, in the Congo Free State, a private colony of King Leopold II. Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver; however, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization in a cover up. Kurtz has a reputation throughout the region.

Walden (also known as Life in the Woods) by Henry David Thoreau is one of the best-known non-fiction books written by an American. Published in 1854, it details Thoreau's life for two years and two months in second-growth forest around the shores of Walden Pond, not far from his friends and family in Concord, Massachusetts. Walden was written so that the stay appears to be a year, with expressed seasonal divisions. Thoreau called it an experiment in simple living. Walden is neither a novel nor a true autobiography, but a social critique of the Western World, with each chapter heralding some aspect of humanity that needed to be either renounced or praised. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, and manual for self reliance.

Solomon Northup was born a free man in New York State. At the age of 33 he was kidnapped in Washington D.C. and placed in an underground slave pen. Northup was transported by ship to New Orleans where he was sold into slavery. He spent the next 12 years working as a carpenter, driver, and cotton picker. This narrative reveals how Northup survived the harsh conditions of slavery, including smallpox, lashings, and an attempted hanging. Solomon Northup was among a select few who were freed from slavery. His account describes the daily life of slaves in Louisiana, their diet and living conditions, the relationship between master and slave, and how slave catchers used to recapture runaways. Northup's first person account published in 1853, was a dramatic story in the national debate over slavery that took place in the nine years leading up to the start of the American Civil War

Le roman raconte la vie que Thoreau a passée dans une cabane pendant deux ans, deux mois et deux jours, dans la forêt appartenant à son ami et mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, jouxtant l'étang de Walden (Walden Pond), non loin de ses amis et de sa famille qui résidaient à Concord, dans le Massachusetts. Walden est écrit de telle façon que le séjour semble durer un an seulement. La narration suit les changements de saisons et Thoreau présente ses pensées, observations et spéculations. Il dévoile également comment, au contact de l'élément naturel, l'individu peut se renouveler et se métamorphoser, prendre conscience enfin de la nécessité de fondre toute action et toute éthique sur le rythme des éléments. Walden n'est ni un roman ni une véritable autobiographie, ni un journal naturaliste. Sa dimension critique à l'encontre du monde occidental en fait un véritable pamphlet. La part de l'imagination est conséquente et Thoreau consacre de nombreuses scènes à décrire l'étang de Walden mais aussi les animaux et la façon dont les gens le considèrent suite à son isolement, tout en dégageant des conclusions philosophiques. Ces longs passages concernant la nature appartiennent à la tradition transcendantaliste et appellent à refondre l'éthique. Plus d'un siècle plus tard, Walden reste une œuvre phare de la littérature américaine et l'ouvrage fondateur du genre littéraire du nature writing. La pensée écologiste moderne voit également en Walden le roman du retour à la nature et de la conscience environnementale. Les observations et spéculations de Thoreau font en effet de la nature, dans le récit, un protagoniste à part entière. Walden est enfin la lente introspection de Thoreau, le fil directeur d'une recherche du sens dans un monde de plus en plus marqué par l'industrialisation et la transformation de l'espace.

La Morale anarchiste est l'une des principales œuvres de Kropotkine. Kropotkine est un théoricien important du communisme libertaire. Il développe dans cette œuvre l'idée selon laquelle le juge, le gouvernant et le prêtre ont abusé de la crédulité du peuple. La religion et la loi ne seraient que de fausses morales, la vraie morale étant naturelle, existant même chez les espèces animales à des degrés différents. Cette morale ne serait alors pas une morale à tendance individualiste ou égoïste, comme le suggère Bentham, ni une morale attachée aux idées de Kant ou à des préceptes religieux. Cette morale serait une morale qui consisterait à la recherche de l'accomplissement du bien commun, de l'intérêt de l'humanité. Krotopkine dit aussi que l'Homme a une nature égoïste, que, même quand il accomplit le bien, c'est un peu pour son bien propre, c'est pour son bonheur ou pour se préserver d'une peine ; par exemple, si un homme aide un pauvre, c'est pour se préserver de la souffrance qu'il ressentirait à voir un autre souffrir. Pour son idée de morale naturelle, il se réfère à Adam Smith, économiste libéral, dont il réfute les idées individualistes, mais dont il apprécie une œuvre de jeunesse, Théorie des sentiments moraux.

La Désobéissance civile, titre original Civil Disobedience est un essai de Henry David Thoreau publié en 1849. 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.

Mansfield Park est un roman de la femme de lettres anglaise Jane Austen paru en 1814, le premier entièrement écrit dans ses années de maturité, puisqu'elle y a travaillé durant l'année 1813. Souvent considéré comme le plus expérimental de tous ses écrits, il est d'un abord plus difficile que les autres et son personnage principal, la timide et silencieuse Fanny Price, est une héroïne paradoxale, qui séduit difficilement le lecteur. Cependant Mansfield Park remporte un succès incontestable, puisque tout le tirage est épuisé en à peine six mois et apporte à son auteur les gains les plus importants qu'elle ait tirés jusque là d'une seule publication.

Carmilla, publié en 1871, est le plus célèbre roman de l'écrivain irlandais Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. L'œuvre est d'ailleurs l'un des romans gothiques et vampiriques les plus célèbres du genre tant les atmosphères y sont puissantes et mystérieuses. Laura, candide à souhait, incarne la parfaite héroïne gothique. Carmilla, quant à elle, personnage énigmatique et dangereux, incarne la sensualité et présente l'homosexualité féminine sous un jour nouveau, sombre, venimeux et exalté. Carmilla est un livre important dans la culture vampirique. À ce titre, il peut être considéré comme une œuvre majeure de la littérature fantastique du xixe siècle, romantique et macabre. Fait non négligeable, c'est un compatriote de Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Bram Stoker, qui reconnaîtra plus tard la dette qu'il a envers celui-ci lors de la parution, en 1899, du roman qui allait immortaliser son nom, Dracula.

Le Livre des cinq anneaux, également connu sous le nom de Traité des cinq roues est un texte de kenjutsu écrit par Musashi Miyamoto vers 1645. Musashi alors âgé de 60 ans se retire dans une grotte et se livre à un exercice d'introspection et de réflexion sur l'art du sabre japonais. Ce livre est généralement considéré comme un classique de stratégie militaire, à la manière du traité sur L'Art de la guerre par Sun Zi (Sun Tsu). Comme ce dernier, le livre des cinq anneaux de Musashi va au delà d'un simple traité sur l'art du sabre, les développements philosophiques du livre peuvent être appréciés par un auditoire non exclusivement réservé au pratiquant d'arts martiaux. De par ses éléments sur la guerre dans son ensemble, il est aussi un livre de stratégie militaire mais a également dépassé cette audience pour intéresser les hommes d'affaire dans la résolution de conflits. Le style hyōhō niten ichi-ryū à deux sabres emploie cet ouvrage comme manuel de technique et de philosophie.
