Civil Disobedience is an essay by Henry David Thoreau. Published in 1849 under the title Resistance to Civil Government, it expressed Thoreau’s belief that people should not allow governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that people have a duty both to avoid doing injustice directly and to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War. (Summary from Wikipedia).

Anglais flegmatique, enragé joueur de whist, Phileas Fogg, dont on ignore tout, mène une vie réglée comme une horloge. Jamais un mot, ni un mouvement inutiles. Ce mercredi 2 octobre 1872, tout pourrait bien changer : contre l'avis de ses partenaires de jeu du Reform-Club, Phileas Fogg soutient qu'on peut maintenant parcourir la terre en quatre-vingts jours seulement. Un pari est lancé. S'il n'est pas de retour le samedi 21 décembre, à huit heures quarante-cinq du soir, notre homme perd tout. Avec Jean Passepartout, domestique français fraîchement engagé, il devra « sauter mathématiquement des railways dans les paquebots, et des paquebots dans les chemins de fer ». Mais sa route pourrait bien être parsemée d'embûches ... A bet: Phileas Fogg, an English man, is to travel around the world in eighty days by land and sea. Will he make it? Let's follow his adventure through the writings of Jules Verne, in French. (Summary by Ezwa)

Librivox: J'accuse...! by Zola, ÉmileJoin Now to Follow

J'accuse est le titre d'un article rédigé par Émile Zola lors de l'affaire Dreyfus et publié dans le journal L'Aurore du 13 janvier 1898 sous forme d'une lettre ouverte au Président de la République Félix Faure. Il s'est inspiré d'un dossier fourni en 1896 par l'écrivain Bernard Lazare. (Résumé de Wikipedia) "J'accuse!" (I accuse!) was published January 13, 1898 in the maiden issue of the newspaper L'Aurore (The Dawn). It had the effect of a bomb. In the words of historian Barbara Tuchman, it was "one of the great commotions of history." Zola's intent was to force his own prosecution for libel so that the emerging facts of the Dreyfus case could be thoroughly aired. In this he succeeded. He was convicted, appealed, was retried, and, before hearing the result, fled to England on the advice of his counsel and friends, returning to Paris in June 1899 when he heard that Dreyfus's trial was to be reviewed.
