Henry David Thoreau was a 19th century American writer and lifelong advocate for the abolition of slavery.

Manon Lescaut est bien plus qu'une simple histoire d'amour passionné ; c'est une plongée profonde dans la psychologie de deux êtres aux prises avec leurs démons intérieurs. Le chevalier des Grieux, jeune homme idéaliste et romantique, est aveuglé par son amour pour Manon, une femme complexe et énigmatique. Leur relation, aussi intense que destructrice, révèle la fragilité de l'âme humaine face aux passions dévorantes.

A celebrated doctor receives a visit from a new patient with a most peculiar ailment. He has an excruciatingly painful spot on his hand. But on examination, he can find nothing wrong with the patient at all. He assumes it is a psychosomatic illness, but the patient is insistant that the area of his hand be surgically removed. When the doctor declines this, the patient attempts to cut out the area himself, and the doctor is obliged to complete the operation after all.
