Emily Stowe

74 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 55min.
Emily Stowe était une femme d’exception et une militante engagée! Élevée dans une famille de quakers où l’égalité des sexes est un principe fondamental, Emily est d’abord institutrice, puis devient la première femme directrice d’école, en Ontario. Une fois mariée et mère de famille, elle poursuit ses études en médecine aux États-Unis, car les universités canadiennes n’acceptent pas les femmes. En 1867, Emily Stowe devient la première femme à pratiquer la médecine au Canada. Persévérante, éprise de justice sociale et d’égalité, Emily milite que les femmes bénéficient des mêmes avantages et des mêmes opportunités que les hommes. Son implication politique l’amènera à militer pour le droit de vote des femmes. Hélas, elle n’ira jamais aux urnes; au Canada, le droit de vote ne sera accordé aux femmes qu’en 1918, soit quinze ans après sa mort. Personnage méconnu, Emily Stowe est considérée comme la mère du mouvement des suffragettes au pays.

Nature ( Unabridged )

Ralph Waldo Emerson

140 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h45min.
First published anonymously in 1836, Nature marks the beginning both of Emerson’s literary career and the Transcendentalist movement. Asking why his generation “should not also enjoy an original relation to the universe,” Emerson argues that “Man is a god in ruins” who might yet be redeemed by the renewal of harmony with nature. Encompassing themes that would preoccupy him for years to come, including the repressive force of social routine, the divinity of nature, and the creative potential of the individual, Nature reflected recent developments in European philosophy and literature even as it pushed American artists to break new ground. The book’s initial reception was mixed, but it influenced members of Emerson’s circle, including such luminaries as Henry David Thoreau and Margaret Fuller, and it would go on to inspire the work of writers ranging from Walt Whitman and Friedrich Nietzsche to Robert Frost and Ralph Ellison.

559 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 6h59min.
"Rudyard Kipling published Stalky & Co. in 1899. Set at an English boarding school in a seaside town on the North Devon coast. (The town, Westward Ho!, is not only unusual in having an exclamation mark, but also in being itself named after a novel, by Charles Kingsley.) The book is a collection of linked short stories, with some information about the eponymous Stalky's later life. Beetle, one of the main trio, is said to be based on Kipling himself, while Stalky may be based on Lionel Dunsterville. The stories have elements of the macabre (dead cats), bullying and violence, and hints about sex, making them far from the childish or idealised world of the typical school story. Edmund Wilson, critic, in The Wound and the Bow, was both shocked and uncomprehending."

Wrong thinking produces inharmony in our body, which in turn produces sickness. Our bodies sometimes are instantly re-harmonized while in the Silence. In the Silence our minds become passive, open, free and loving, at which time the Infinite Master of harmony touches the mental chords of our being and we are well.

This book is addressed to the sorrowful, ... to whom their own or others' pain is a daily burden, upon whose hearts it weighs with an intolerable anguish. I seek to speak to these ; not as a teacher, but as a fellow. Sharing their feeling, and knowing well how vain is the attempt to throw off misery, or to persuade ourselves that life is better than it is, I would fain share with them also some thoughts that have seemed to me capable of casting a bright gleam of light athwart the darkness, and, if they are true, of bringing an immense, an incredible joy out of the very bosom of distress.

99 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h14min.
The definitive Kiswahili guide to essay writing with pertinent examples.Kielezo cha Insha ndio mwongozo wa kwanza kabisa wa uandishi wa insha katika lugha ya Kiswahili. Kitabu hiki kilichapishwa mwaka 1954 na matbaa ya Chuo Kikuu cha Witwatersrand cha Afrika Kusini. Baada ya Uhuru wa Tanzania mwaka 1961, kitabu hiki hakikupatikana kutokana na vikwazo vya kiuchumi vilivyowekwa dhidi ya utawala wa kibaguzi wa Afrika Kusini. Kitabu kinazungumzia masuala muhimu katika uandishi wa insha, yakiwamo: madhumuni ya kufundisha uandishi wa insha shuleni, aina za insha, maandalizi ya kuandika insha, lugha na mtindo, ushikamani, uwiano mzuri, matumizi ya alama za vituo. Kitabu hiki pia kimejumuisha insha 60 za mfano zinazowakilisha aina mbalimbali za insha zilizojadiliwa katika utangulizi, na kuakisi mawazo na mtazamo wa mwandishi – Robert kuhusu masuala anayoyajadili. Mada zinazojadiliwa ni pamoja na zile ambazo zilikuwa motomoto katika jamii wakati huo, kwa mfano ‘ndoa za siri’, utamaduni, mazingira, lugha na utaifa, uzalendo, unyanyasaji wa wanawake, afya na maana ya maisha na kifo Baada ya kupotea kwa zaidi ya miaka sitini, Matbaa ya Witwatersrand yameamua kukichapisha kitabu hiki tena kutokana na thamani yake ya kihistoria na ufaafu wa kudumu wa maarifa yaliyomo. Kitabu hiki ni mfano tosha wa elimu na ujuzi wa mafunzo bora ya uandishi wa Robert.Bayana ya Mhariri – CM Doke Utangulizi – Shabaan Robert Utangulizi – MM Mulokozi Introduction – MM Mulokozi Maonyo ya kuandika insha a) Kusudi la kuandika insha b) Elimu ya kuandika insha c) Utunzi wa insha d) Ulinganifu wa insha e) Uzani wa ulinganifu f) Mifano mbalimbali ya insha i) Mfano wa Insha za Wasifu ii) Mfano wa Insha za masimulizi iii) Mfano wa Insha ya habari za mtu zilizoandikwa na yeye mwenyewe iv) Mfano wa Insha za Fikira v) Mfano wa Insha za Methali vi) Jinsi ya kutumia herufi kubwa vii) Yanayokulazimu kutenda viii) Yasiyokulazimu kutenda g) Insha 1.

Notre Dame de Paris, est dans doute l’un des romans les plus mondialement connus de Victor Hugo, grâce à ses nombreuses adaptations tant au cinéma qu’en comédie musicale. L’histoire prend pour décors la Cathédrale de Notre Dame, dans un Paris en plein essor, dans lequel tout un chacun se cherche une place. Parmi, cette manne de protagonistes, nous retrouvons les destins croisés de Quasimodo, Esméralda, Gringoire, Frollo et bien d’autres qui tenterons de survivre au-delà de leurs classes sociales. Plus qu’une peinture sociale, ce livre est avant tout une critique forte, sur la société humaine, ses hypocrisies et ses mensonges, permettant à tout un chacun de dicter ses vérités et de les imposer aux autres.

L’homme qui soignait les oiseaux est précisément l’histoire d’un homme qui fut confronté à un tel choix et qui, pour l’amour qu’il portait aux oiseaux, se porta au secours d’un magnifique harfang des neiges blessé, sans se douter que ce geste aurait un impact considérable sur le reste de sa vie. Et que, ce faisant, il serait amené à jouer un rôle primordial dans une histoire dont l’issue aurait pu avoir de lourdes conséquences pour l’humanité, n’eût été de sa judicieuse intervention et sa grande expertise acquise auprès de ses amis, les oiseaux.
