Il y a quelques années, vers les derniers jours d’octobre, je m’arrêtai dans une des villes d’eaux les plus fréquentées de France… Je ne sais plus pour quelle raison, peut-être pour satisfaire la vai

"Hurra!" Det er virkelig et hurra, men det klinger ikke af dagligdags velvre og tilfredshed. Det har et underlig hjtideligt, nsten dystert tonefald som et langt, dybt befrielsens suk fra et indestngt, forpint bryst, der i et tungt drag nder hele sin smerte ud."Hurra!" Det er fangerne fra tugthuset, der nu en snes stykker i tallet, under bevogtning af to mrkkldte opsynsmnd, hilser den lille hedehytte, i hvilken de i sommer skal arbejde. Der er tavshed over lyngens violette havflade, gennem hvilken kun en opskrmt hare stter i spring, eller urkokken skogrer. Der er tavshed mellem disse hjtidelige, forventningsfulde mennesker, hvis ansigt er blegt, og hvis bryst overvldes af arbejdet med at indsuge den friske luft.

Grab welch ein Wort! Gibt es ein zweites, das wuchtiger trifft, schauriger, zermalmender, erstarrender?Tod man kann tot sein und noch im warmen Bette liegen, umgeben von den lieben, teuren Angehorigen tot sein und beschienen werden vom Licht und Blau der Welt, gefachelt werden von Luft und Atemzugen der Lebenden, gekut werden, umarmt, angeredet.Aber Grab dieses schwarze, hohle Loch ins Jenseits hinuber, durch das keiner zuruckkriecht, und rauchte am andern End die Holle. Wer da hinuntersaust am schnurrenden Seil, im zugenagelten Sarg, und dann Scholle auf Scholle den Marsch trommelt, bis es stiller wird, dumpfer, immer dumpfer, so grabesstill, da nichts mehr gehort wird in der schaurigen Hohle als der Erde blahendes Verdauen.

Eine stille, klare Winternacht. Der Vollmond schwebt am wolkenlosen Himmel, die Sterne funkeln und blitzen, wie ein schimmerndes Marchengebild liegt der bereifte Wald.Die Berge ragen an drei Seiten hoch und schroff empor und treten nur nach Suden hin breiter auseinander, um einem langestreckten, lieblichen Tal Platz zu schaffen, einer herrlichen, fruchtbaren und meilenweiten Talebene, welche wie ein kleines Paradies inmitten des Hochgebirges hingestreckt liegt.Machtige Waldungen ziehen sich an den Berghangen empor und dehnen sich noch meilenweit im Tale hin, durchschnitten von dem krausen Silberband eines Fluchens, welches hell und wild von den Felsen herabschaumt und geschwatzig in die fremde Welt hineinsprudelt. Selbst jetzt hat der Frost vergeblich die glitzernden Arme nach ihm ausgestreckt.

Den 23. maj 1866 nedbrndte grden "Strandskov" totalt.Tre timer fr ildens opkomst havde ejeren, proprietr, kaptajn Brun, givet ordre til, at hans hest skulle sadles. Klokken var halv ni om aftenen, da han red bort, efter at han selv havde vret beskftiget hele dagen rundt om i lo og lade.Idet han steg til hest, puttede han et brev i inderlommen, og mod sdvane talte han med karlen og sagde til ham, at det var et brev, der hastede, og som han personligt mtte besrge p postkontoret.Omtrent fire timer senere vendte proprietr Brun tilbage. Hans hest var svedig, og han havde sporet den, s at blodet piblede frem.Grden stod da i lys lue. Han kom galoperende ind mellem de gamle raslende sprjter og sluffer, sprang ndels af hesten og gav sig til at uddele ordrer til hjre og venstre.Ilden havde allerede bredt sig til stuehuset, hvis tag stod i flammer og sendte et vldigt knitrende bl op i den mrke sommernat.

"A world at war, a nation in flux, and the lives of five families caught in the tide of history."In War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy intertwines the lives of private individuals with the grand scale of public history. As Napoleons army marches toward Moscow, the fates of the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov, the spirited Natasha Rostova, and the cynical Prince Andrei Bolkonsky become inextricably linked. This novel is not just a story of military campaigns and ballroom dances; it is a profound search for meaning in a world dominated by chaos. From the bloody fields of Borodino to the intimate drawing rooms of St. Petersburg, Tolstoy explores the forces that drive history and the small, personal moments that define our humanity.A Masterpiece of Immense Scope: Tolstoys genius lies in his ability to shift from the minute details of a young girls first ball to the grand strategies of emperors and generals. With over 500 characters, the novel creates a complete world, capturing the essence of Russian lifeits nobility, its peasantry, and its enduring soul.History and Philosophy: Beyond the narrative, War and Peace serves as a vehicle for Tolstoys unique philosophy of history. He challenges the "Great Man" theory, suggesting that the course of events is determined not by kings and commanders, but by the collective will of thousands of ordinary individuals.Why It Is a Must-Read: War and Peace is often called the "Book of Life" because it contains everything: youth and age, peace and war, life and death. It is a transformative reading experience that demands patience and rewards it with a deeper understanding of what it means to be alive.Embark on the journey of a lifetime.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar as implicaçes do trabalho intermitente no Brasil e avaliar se essa modalidade de emprego oferece condiçes de trabalho digno. A pesquisa contextualiza historicamente o direito do trabalho no pais e discute os impactos da Reforma Trabalhista de 2017, que introduziu o trabalho intermitente como uma nova forma de contrataço. O estudo aborda as principais caracteristicas desse modelo, suas vantagens e desvantagens, alem de sua compatibilidade com os principios constitucionais e os direitos fundamentais dos trabalhadores. A dissertaço tambem examina decises judiciais e interpretaçes doutrinarias sobre o tema, destacando os desafios e as incertezas que essa forma de vinculo empregaticio apresenta. A partir de uma reviso de literatura e analise critica, conclui-se que o trabalho intermitente pode levar a precarizaço das relaçes de trabalho, aumentando a vulnerabilidade dos trabalhadores e reduzindo sua segurança financeira e social. Embora a modalidade ofereça maior flexibilidade para empregadores e empregados, sua regulamentaço ainda apresenta lacunas que comprometem a efetividade da proteço trabalhista. Dessa forma, o estudo sugere a necessidade de ajustes legislativos para garantir um equilibrio entre flexibilidade e segurança no mercado de trabalho.Palavras-chave: Trabalho intermitente; reforma trabalhista; direitos trabalhistas; precarizaço; dignidade do trabalho.

"I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves."At a time when women were viewed as mere decorative ornaments or domestic servants, Mary Wollstonecraft issued a radical call for change. In A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, she challenges the educational and social systems of the 18th century that kept women in a state of "perpetual childhood." She argues that women are rational beings deserving of the same fundamental rights as men, and that a truly just society can only exist when both sexes are equally educated. Bold, fiery, and profoundly logical, this work laid the intellectual groundwork for the suffrage movements that would follow a century later.The Power of Education: Wollstonecrafts central argument is that the "frivolity" of women in her time was a product of a culture that only valued them for their beauty. By advocating for a national system of co-education, she envisioned a world where women could be independent, contributing members of society and "rational companions" to their partners.A Revolutionary Spirit: Written as a response to political theorists who excluded women from the "rights of man," this book is a masterpiece of Enlightenment thought. Wollstonecraft applies the principles of liberty and equality to the domestic sphere, demanding that justice begin at home.Why It Is Essential Today: As the mother of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley and a pioneer in her own right, Wollstonecrafts voice remains a powerful reminder of the struggle for self-sovereignty. Her work continues to inspire anyone fighting for the right to think, learn, and live freely.Own a piece of revolutionary history. Purchase "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" today.
