The author of Acres of Diamonds (1890) was Russell Herman Conwell (1843-1925), an American Baptist minister, orator, philanthropist, lawyer, and writer. The author was inspired by the story of a Persian farmer who loses his life looking for a diamond mine when his own farm (which he sold to finance his search for a mine) literally contained acres of diamonds. The main message of this motivational classic is that one need not look elsewhere for opportunity, achievement, or fortune, because the resources to achieve all good things are already present in one's own community.

Роман-биография "Жизнь господина де Мольера" повествует о жизни и перипетиях судьбы великого французского драматурга-комедиографа Жана-Батиста Мольера (1622 - 1673). Михаил Булгаков неслучайно заинтересовался личностью Мольера: судьба драматурга в XVII веке во многом была схожа с его собственной судьбой.

C'est en étudiant la faune et la flore d'Amérique du Sud, lors de son voyage à bord du Beagle (de 1831 à 1836) que Charles Darwin va avoir l'intuition de la sélection naturelle, point central de sa théorie future de l'évolution des espèces. Publié en 1859, "L'origine des espèces" est un livre fondamental de la science moderne. À l'origine des théories de l'évolution, ce texte va révolutionner la compréhension du monde et fonder les bases de la biologie moderne, de la génétique, de l'éthologie et de l'écologie.

Fin 1939. La mission archéologique de l'Ahnenerbe est un échec : l'extraordinaire découverte faite dans la vallée du Nahr al-Zab-al-Saghir semble aux mains de l'ennemi anglais, et Friedrich Saxhäuser est porté disparu au large de Madère... Heinrich Himmler ne peut tolérer pareil camouflet, d'autant que ce qui a été mis au jour dans le Kurdistan irakien se révèle à ce point stupéfiant, impensable, que l'ensemble des forces en présence, à l'aube du plus grand conflit que l'humanité ait jamais connu, pourrait s'en trouver balayé.

The typical idea of motivation as something that comes and goes, often out of your control, is completely inaccurate. Motivation has been studied - as have the methods and strategies needed to replicate it. Truly, there is a science of motivation. And, like any other subject which has been studied and tested with the scientific method, if you implement the causes of motivation in your life, you will produce the effect of motivation.

Publié pour la première fois en 1833, "Gamiani ou Deux nuits d'excès" est l'ouvrage licencieux le plus lu et le plus réimprimé de tout le 19ème siècle. Longtemps remise en cause, l'attribution de ce texte à Alfred de Musset ne fait aujourd'hui plus de doute. En 1833, alors qu'il écrivait "Les Caprices de Marianne", l'auteur aurait fait la gageure de produire en trois jours un ouvrage pornographique sans jamais faire usage du moindre mot grossier.
