Librivox: Bible (LSG, 1910) 08: Livre de Ruth by Louis Segond BibleJoin Now to Follow
Ce huitième livre de la Bible, traduite par Louis Segond au XIXe siècle et publiée au début du siècle suivant, nous rapporte comment Ruth la Moabite, d'étrangère qu'elle était en Israël, deviendra l'ancêtre du roi David et, par lui, celle de Jésus-Christ. « Où tu iras j'irai, où tu demeureras je demeurerai ; ton peuple sera mon peuple, et ton Dieu sera mon Dieu ; où tu mourras je mourrai, et j'y serai enterrée. Que l'Éternel me traite dans toute sa rigueur, si autre chose que la mort vient à me séparer de toi ! » Sa fidélité à ce serment fait à Naomi, sa belle-mère, transformera sa vie. Sa dévotion pourra nous servir d'exemple. (Résumé par Ezwa)

Librivox: Imitation of Christ, The by Kempis, Thomas aJoin Now to Follow
The Imitation of Christ is widely considered one of the greatest manuals of devotion in Christianity. The life of Christ is presented as the highest study possible to a mortal, as Jesus’ teachings far excel all the teachings of the saints. The book gives counsel to read the scriptures, statements about the uses of adversity, advice for submission to authority, warnings against temptation and how to resist it, reflections about death and the judgment, meditations upon the oblation of Christ, and admonitions to flee the vanities of the world. (Summary drawn from Wikipedia).

Librivox: Personal Collection of Short Tales compiled by Carmie by Grimm, Jacob & WilhelmJoin Now to Follow
This is a selection of the fairy tales (in English) written by Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm and Wilhelm Karl Grimm in the early 19th Century. These stories are fantastical and although aimed squarely at the flexible mind of a child which can assimilate much stranger concepts than an adult they are quite dark and occasionally brutal. The stakes can be quite high as in Rumpelstiltskin where a terrible bargain is made without due regard to possible future consequences and Tom Thumb who seems forever about to be imprisoned or sliced in two. These are moral tales and this selection features some of the less 'grim' of those tales but they are still a 1000 times more exciting and vivid than many more modern fairy tales. The Gutenberg edition from which most of these stories were read contains some delightful pictures to accompany the stories. The pictures can be viewed here . The exception to this is the story, Puss in Boots which is from an Andrew Lang collection which can be found here . (summary by Jimmowatt)
