Leviathan

Anonyme

Leviathan or The Matter, Forme and Power of a Commonwealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil, commonly referred to as Leviathan, is a book written by Thomas Hobbes (15881679) and published in 1651 (revised Latin edition 1668). Its name derives from the biblical Leviathan. The work concerns the structure of society and legitimate government, and is regarded as one of the earliest and most influential examples of social contract theory. Written during the English Civil War (16421651), it argues for a social contract and rule by an absolute sovereign. Hobbes wrote that civil war and the brute situation of a state of nature ("the war of all against all") could be avoided only by a strong, undivided government.

The Real Moby Dick - The True...

John Harpoon

For more than a century, Moby-Dick has captivated readers with its epic tale of obsession, revenge, and the relentless pursuit of an almost mythical white whale. Herman Melville’s novel, often considered one of the greatest works of American literature, is filled with symbolism and philosophical depth. Yet, behind this work of fiction lies a true story—one of survival, maritime danger, and an extraordinary encounter with a real-life white whale that terrorized whalers in the early 19th century. The legend of Moby Dick is more than just fiction; it is rooted in historical events, shaped by firsthand accounts, and woven into the fabric of seafaring lore.
The inspiration for Melville’s famous novel came from two key sources: the Essex tragedy and the real-life white whale known as Mocha Dick. The Essex, a whaling ship from Nantucket, was attacked and sunk by a massive sperm whale in 1820, leaving its crew stranded in the open ocean. Their harrowing tale of survival, including desperate decisions that pushed them to the limits of human endurance, became one of the most infamous maritime disasters of the era. Meanwhile, whalers of the Pacific frequently told stories of an unusually large and aggressive albino whale that had survived multiple harpoon attacks. This whale, named Mocha Dick after the Chilean island where he was often seen, was known to fight back with remarkable intelligence and force. These real events formed the foundation for Melville’s fictional masterpiece, blending reality with myth in a way that continues to spark curiosity and debate.

How To Live In The Present...

Robert Krishna

We all have moments, hours, days when our minds are stuck somewhere unpleasant that we can't get out of and it feels like we're living in a constant state of worry. We may be thinking about what is happening tomorrow or five minutes ago. We may wonder about things that happened in the past and regret them. As a result, we lose sight of what's happening now-now-now. And because we're so focused on our worries rather than the current moment, these anxious thoughts just continue to feed off each other as they go 'round and round in circles in our heads.
As a result, we may feel that our minds are always racing and it's impossible for us to slow them down. This takes us away from the present moment.

Understanding Péguy

Marie Boeswillwald, Claire Daudin

For some, Péguy is “an anarchist who put holy water in his oil”; for others, a dangerous rebel whose “head is full of revolution”. A socialist and a Catholic, a pious poet and a raging polemicist, Péguy turns out to be a man with a sometimes chaotic, always leaping journey.
Few authors have had such a controversial posterity as he. One hundred years after his death, it is time to do justice to this unclassifiable thinker, little known in his time, and who has so much to say in ours.
Yves Rouvière's drawings are there to give substance to the words, to “embody the spiritual”, according to one of Péguy's cherished intuitions.
