This book was released on with total page 19633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le jeune prince Karol de Roswald venait de perdre sa mère lorsqu'il fit connaissance avec la Floriani. Il était plongé encore dans une tristesse profonde, et rien ne pouvait le distraire. La princesse de Roswald avait été pour lui une mère tendre et parfaite. Elle avait prodigué à son enfance débile et souffreteuse les soins les plus assidus et le dévouement le plus entier. Élevé sous les yeux de cette digne et noble femme, le jeune homme n'avait eu qu'une passion réelle dans toute sa vie: l'amour filial. Cet amour réciproque du fils et de la mère les avait rendus exclusifs, et peut-être un peu trop absolus dans leur manière de voir et de sentir. La princesse était d'un esprit supérieur et d'une grande instruction, il est vrai; son entretien et ses enseignements semblaient pouvoir tenir lieu de tout au jeune Karol. La frêle santé de celui-ci s'était opposée à ces études classiques, pénibles, sèchement tenaces, qui ne valent pas toujours par elles-mêmes les leçons d'une mère éclairée, mais qui ont cet avantage indispensable de nous apprendre à travailler, parce qu'elles sont comme la clef de la science de la vie. La princesse de Roswald ayant écarté les pédagogues et les livres, par ordonnance des médecins, s'était attachée à former l'esprit et le cœur de son fils, par sa conversation, par ses récits, par une sorte d'insufflation de son être moral, que le jeune homme avait aspirée avec délices. Il était donc arrivé à savoir beaucoup sans avoir rien appris. Mais rien ne remplace l'expérience; et le soufflet que, dans mon enfance, on donnait encore aux marmots pour leur graver dans la mémoire le souvenir d'une grande émotion, d'un fait historique, d'un crime célèbre, ou de tout autreexemple à suivre ou à éviter, n'était pas chose si niaise que cela nous parait aujourd'hui. Nous ne donnons plus ce soufflet à nos enfants; mais ils vont le chercher ailleurs, et la lourde main de l'expérience l'applique plus rudement que ne ferait la nôtre. Le jeune Karol de Roswald connut donc le monde et la vie de bonne heure, de trop bonne heure peut-être, mais par la théorie et non par la pratique. Dans le louable dessein d'élever son âme, sa mère ne laissa approcher de lui que des personnes distinguées, dont les préceptes et l'exemple devaient lui être salutaires. Il sut bien que dehors il y avait des méchants et des fous, mais il n'apprit qu'à les éviter, nullement à les connaître. On lui enseigna bien à secourir les malheureux; les portes du palais où s'écoula son enfance étaient toujours ouvertes aux nécessiteux; mais, tout en les assistant, il s'habitua à mépriser la cause de leur détresse et à regarder cette plaie comme irrémédiable dans l'humanité. Le désordre, la paresse, l'ignorance ou le manque de jugement, sources fatales d'égarement et de misère, lui parurent, avec raison, incurables chez les individus. On ne lui apprit point à croire que les masses doivent et peuvent insensiblement s'en affranchir, et qu'en prenant l'humanité corps à corps, en discutant avec elle, en la gourmandent, et la caressant tour à tour, comme un enfant qu'on aime, en lui pardonnant beaucoup de rechutes pour en obtenir quelques progrès, on fait plus pour elle qu'en jetant à ses membres perclus ou gangrenés le secours restreint de la compassion.
Book Synopsis Les Sept Voyages by : Tân Pham Quang
Download or read book Les Sept Voyages written by Tân Pham Quang and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qui ne s'est jamais reveille un jour, baigne dans l'aube claire d'un appel au voyage ? Durant ses parcours et ses escales, le voyageur, chahute par la force des elements et du destin, se voit souvent eprouve dans ses limites, et libere parfois des ressources personnelles insoupconnees. Des rencontres amenent le marcheur a un necessaire apprentissage de son positionnement personnel par rapport au monde phenomenal. La jeunesse, avide d'independance et desireuse de se cerner elle-meme, se jette dans l'exploration jusqu'a l'ivresse. Mais a trop se disperser, l'epuisement guette; a trop se concentrer, l'immobilite plombe. Le temps viendra, sans doute, d'harmoniser en pleine conscience, l'attitude et l'acte par le discernement pour favoriser l'emergence de la noblesse qui sommeille en nous. Ce recueil (qui constitue le premier volet) propose au lecteur attentionne d'accompagner les souffles animateurs, le temps de quelques respirations poetiques.
Download or read book Elixir written by Theresa Levitt and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of alchemy in Bohemian Paris, where two scientific outcasts discovered a fundamental distinction between natural and synthetic chemicals that inaugurated an enduring scientific mystery. For centuries, scientists believed that living matter possessed a special quality—a spirit or essence—that differentiated it from nonliving matter. But by the nineteenth century, the scientific consensus was that the building blocks of one were identical to the building blocks of the other. Elixir tells the story of two young chemists who were not convinced, and how their work rewrote the boundary between life and nonlife. In the 1830s, Édouard Laugier and Auguste Laurent were working in Laugier Père et Fils, the oldest perfume house in Paris. By day they prepared the perfumery’s revitalizing elixirs and rejuvenating eaux, drawing on alchemical traditions that equated a plant’s vitality with its aroma. In their spare time they hunted the vital force that promised to reveal the secret to life itself. Their ideas, roundly condemned by established chemists, led to the discovery of structural differences between naturally occurring molecules and their synthetic counterparts, even when the molecules were chemically identical. Scientists still can’t explain this anomaly, but it may point to critical insights concerning the origins of life on Earth. Rich in sparks and smells, brimming with eccentric characters, experimental daring, and the romance of the Bohemian salon, Elixir is a fascinating cultural and scientific history.
