Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
Cette oeuvre parait quelques mois après la découverte de la nébuleuse de l'Aigle qui en est manifestement l'inspiration. Zadig est un jeune et riche honnête homme qui découvrira qu'il est difficile, bien que possible de vivre heureux en ce monde. Il tombe amoureux d'Astarté, la reine de Babylone, ce qui l’entraînera dans des péripéties dont il en sortira roi.One of the most famous novel from Voltaire, that surely is one of his variations around the Eagle Nebula, discovered some months before, it tells the story of a young honest man, Zadig, that wishes to live in happiness. He falls in love with Astarté, the queen of Babylonia and will suffer many misfortunes before being made king. Summary by defscan

Patanjali (c. 150 BCE - )Translated by Charles Johnston (1867 - 1931)
Yoga sutras by Patanjali is a seminal work in yoga, this book is more about control of mind and the true goal of yoga. The sutras are extremely brief, and the translation in neat English makes it very easy for people to understand the ancient Sanskrit text. It starts with the birth and growth of spiritual man through the control of mind. In all, this is a "all in one" book for yoga philosophy written by the master himself. (Summary by sidhu177)

Zapowiada wizyty trzech innych widm które ukazują Scrooge’owi wizje nocy wigilijnych z przeszłości, teraźniejszości i przyszłości.

White Fang (Version 2)
Support Our Cause at https://libri-vox.org/donate
Jack London (1876 - 1916)
When White Fang is birthed in a cave to a wolf sire and a wolf/dog halfbreed dam, he is heir to two traditions. At first he is content to explore and learn laws of the Wild. But then his mother is caught and held by old memories of a past relationship with Man, and White Fang follows her into service with the Indians. Life among sled dogs is hardly less cruel and dangerous than living in the Wild, but brutality notches upward when his drunken master sells him to a nasty, twisted hanger-on at a riverside town of white men. He is stripped of everything soft and gentle when forced to fight to the death for a crowd of bettors.Taming this savage spirit and reclaiming the nobility within looks impossible. Fortunately, and heart-warmingly, a man arrives in White Fang's life to try."White Fang" is often called the mirror image of Jack London's acclaimed "The Call of the Wild" in which a dog follows the reverse arc from tame to free.
