In this book, Tolstoy seeks to condense the four Gospels of the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, into one, by looking along the lines of the teachings of Jesus Christ found in each book. In doing so, he discovers that the Lord's Prayer is the best summation of all that Christ taught in the GospelsVoir livre
"The Pink Stocking" by Anton Chekhov is a short story that unfolds on a dreary, rainy day with Pavel Petrovitch Somov, feeling bored and restless, pacing in his study. His wife, Madame Somov, is described as a pretty little lady wearing a light blouse and pink stockings, busily writing a letter to her sister Varya. Curious and looking for a distraction, Somov asks to read the letter and, while initially disinterested, he becomes increasingly concerned and confused as he progresses through the pages. Upon finishing the letter, he reacts with shock and disbelief, flinging the sheets on the table and uttering that the content is "beyond anything" and "positively incredible." The story hints at a marital dynamic filled with secrets and perhaps suggests that Madame Somov has written something unexpected or alarming, leaving both the character and the reader with a sense of perplexity and intrigue.Voir livre
The Tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table are of Celtic origin. It is believed that King Arthur lived in the sixth century, just after the Romans withdrew from Britain. Minstrels and storytellers travelled through the land in the centuries after this, telling tales of chivalry and heroism, and the legends of King Arthur grew up across Britain and parts of Europe. Andrew Lang's collection of Arthurian legends is one of the most complete and comprehensive ever written and is more accessible than most. He has drawn extensively on the "Historia Britonum", which was used by Geoffrey of Monmouth, as well as Thomas Malory's "Morte d'Arthur" and a number of stories of the Holy Grail which are of French origin. "The Drawing of the Sword" "The Sword Excalibur" "How the Round Table Began" "The Story of Sir Balin" "What Beaumains Asked of the King" "How Morgan Le Fay Tried to Kill King Arthur" "The Passing of Merlin" "How the King Went on a Pilgrimage" "The Coming of the Holy Grail" "The Adventure of Sir Galahad" "How Sir Lancelot Saw a Vision" "The Adventure of Sir Percivale" "An Adventure of Sir Lancelot" "An Adventure of Sir Gawaine" "The Adventure of Sir Bors" "An Adventure of Sir Galahad" "Sir Lancelot Meets Sir Galahad" "How Sir Galahad Found the Grail" "The Fight for the Queen" "The Fair Maid of Astolat" "Lancelot and Guinevere" "The End of it All"Voir livre
