Zwei Werke von Henry David Thoreau: Im Jahr 1849 schrieb er seinen weltberühmten Essay über die Pflicht zum Ungehorsam gegen den Staat.

Originally published in 1854, Walden remains one of the most celebrated works in American literature.

The goals of the budo - the martial arts and ways of Japan - lie in refining the body and spirit. These goals are not always the obvious ones - and are learned only through the guidance and direction of great teachers.

Cinq ans après l'accord de Paris sur le climat, l'auteur constate un échec de l'entreprise.
