The Adventures of Don Lavington
Lindon, known as Don, is a boy in his late teens who has left school, and who lives with his mother and uncle Josiah, his father being dead, and works as a clerk in the office, the business being sugar and tobacco importation, in Bristol, England, which he does not much like.One day some money is missing from the office. It’s pretty obvious who the thief is, but Uncle Josiah continues to accuse Don. Another worker has a row with his new young wife, and Don and he (Jem) decide to go away for a bit, both feeling rather ill-used. Unfortunately they are taken that night by the press-gang, and after some attempts to get away, they sail away to New Zealand. Here they manage to escape from the ship, though the search for them is keen. They fall in with some Maoris, among whom lives an Englishman, who is actually an escaped convict, but a good chap nonetheless. They assist the Maoris in their own battles against other tribes.The scene turns to some English settlers. They become friendly with our heroes. A Maori tribe attacks then, having been set up to do so by three villains, who have also escaped from the convict settlement at Norfolk Island. They hold their own, but there is a timely intervention by the police. One of the three villains turn out to have been the man who actually stole the money from Uncle Josiah’s office. From this point things begin to turn out for the better, and the two heroes return to England, and all is forgiven.

A Sentimental Journey
A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy is a novel by the Irish-born English author Laurence Sterne, written and first published in 1768, as Sterne was facing death. In 1765 Laurence Sterne travelled through France and Italy as far south as Naples, and after returning determined to describe his travels from a sentimental point of view. The novel can be seen as an epilogue to the possibly unfinished work The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, and also as an answer to Tobias Smollett's decidedly unsentimental Travels through France and Italy. (Sterne met Smollett during his travels in Europe, and strongly objected to his spleen, acerbity and quarrelsomeness. He modeled the character of Smelfungus on him.)The novel was extremely popular and influential and helped establish travel writing as the dominant genre of the second half of the 18th century. Unlike prior travel accounts which stressed classical learning and objective non-personal points of view, A Sentimental Journey emphasized the subjective discussions of personal taste and sentiments, of manners and morals over classical learning. Throughout the 1770s women travel writers began publishing significant numbers of sentimental travel accounts. Sentiment also became a favorite style among those expressing non-mainstream views including political radicalism.The narrator is the Reverend Mr. Yorick, who is slyly represented to guileless readers as Sterne's barely disguised alter ego. The book recounts his various adventures, usually of the amorous type, in a series of self-contained episodes. The book is less eccentric and more elegant in style than Tristram Shandy and was better received by contemporary critics. It was published on February 27, and on March 18 Sterne died.

L'Homme Qui Séduisit La Joconde
C’est l’histoire de Tristano, un jeune diplomate pontifical au passé mystérieux et ténébreux qui, entre stratégies et tromperies, aventures et complots, dans l’Italie de la Renaissance, porte au succes toutes ses entreprises en maîtrisant l’art de la séduction. Mais le moment arrive ou le destin lui enverra sa mission la plus importante. C’est alors que Tristano voit sa vie bouleversée ... et qu’il séduit celle qui, immortalisée si énigmatiquement par Léonard de Vinci, charmera par son regard le monde entier.Un chercheur précaire du CNR de Pise, expert en cryptographie et blockchain, trouve par hasard dans les archives d’une abbaye toscane, un étrange fichier crypté contenant une histoire incroyable, extraordinaire, inédite ... de laquelle il ne peut plus se détacher :Par une nuit froide des prémices de la Renaissance, au temps ou les seigneuries italiennes s’annihilaient dans le but de remporter le contrôle éphémere de leurs frontieres, un jeune diplomate pontifical au passé mystérieux préférait de loin s’adonner a l’art de la séduction plutôt qu’a celui de la guerre. Qui était-il ?Il n’était ni prince, ni condottiere, ni prélat, il ne portait aucune titre officiel ... et pourtant lui parler équivalait a s’entretenir directement avec le Saint Pere. Il se mouvait avec désinvolture sur le complexe échiquier politique de l’époque, mais n’y laissait pour autant jamais de trace. Il écrivait chaque jour l’Histoire sans que son nom apparaisse sur aucune de ses pages. Il était partout mais semblait ne pas exister. D’une seigneurie a l’autre, d’un regne a une république, entre stratégies et tromperies, aventures et complots, les entreprises de Tristano étaient toujours couronnées de succes ... jusqu’au jour ou le destin l’amena a réaliser sa mission la plus importante : découvrir qui il était réellement.Pour y parvenir, il dut déchiffrer une lettre écrite par sa mere biologique qui, pendant quarante-deux ans, fut dissimulée par la caste des puissants de cette période. Pour ce faire, il dut traverser indemne cette époque marquée par une incroyable et inédite concentration de personnages exceptionnels (hommes d’État, mercenaires, artistes, hommes de lettres, ingénieurs, scientifiques, navigateurs, courtisans, etc.) qui changerent significativement, drastiquement et irrémédiablement le cours de l’Histoire. Pour parvenir a ses fins, il dut séduire celle qui, immortalisée si énigmatiquement par Léonard de Vinci, charmera par son regard le monde entier.

Lacná kniha On Freedom (-70%)
So often deployed as a jingoistic, even menacing rallying cry, or limited by a focus on passing moments of liberation, the rhetoric of freedom both rouses and repels. Does it remain key to our autonomy, justice, and well-being, or is freedom's long star turn coming to a close? Does a continued obsession with the term enliven and emancipate, or reflect a deepening nihilism (or both)? On Freedom examines such questions by tracing the concept's complexities in four distinct realms: art, sex, drugs, and climate.
Drawing on a vast range of material, from critical theory to pop culture to the intimacies and plain exchanges of daily life, Nelson explores how we might think, experience, or talk about freedom in ways responsive to the conditions of our day. Her abiding interest lies in ongoing "practices of freedom" by which we negotiate our interrelation with-indeed, our inseparability from-others, with all the care and constraint that relation entails, while accepting difference and conflict as integral to our communion.
For Nelson, thinking publicly through the knots in our culture-from recent art world debates to the turbulent legacies of sexual liberation, from the painful paradoxes of addiction to the lure of despair in the face of the climate crisis-is itself a practice of freedom, a means of forging fortitude, courage, and company. On Freedom is an invigorating, essential book for challenging times.

PB3 et le recyclage A1
PB3 découvre que le recyclage présente des avantages! Mais ou est-ce qu?il va trouver le matériel nécessaire pour réparer son amie Martine ?Quand Martine le robot arrete de travailler, le docteur de P3 dit a PB3 de le jeter a la poubelle et d?acheter un nouveau robot. Il y a une aiguille en bois dans son corps et elle est cassée. On ne peut pas la remplacer parce qu?il n?y a pas d?arbres sur P3. PB3 va sur la Terre pour trouver une aiguille en bois et sauver son amie. Pendant ses recherches, il apprend beaucoup de choses sur le recyclage et sur les enfants qui cherchent des objets dans la décharge pour les revendre. Est-ce que les enfants vont réussir a aider PB3 a sauver Martine ?
"PB3 zistil, že recyklácia má svoje výhody!
Kde môže nájsť materiál potrebný na opravu priateľa Martina? Doktor P3 povedal PB3, že keď robot prestane fungovať, treba ho hodiť do koša a kúpiť nového. Robot má v tele rozbité drevené ihly. Nedajú sa nahradiť, pretože na planéte nie sú žiadne stromy. PB3 preto odchádza na Zem, aby našiel drevenú ihlu a zachránil svojho priateľa. Počas tohto výskumu sa naučí veľa o recyklácii od detí, ktoré hľadajú a odnášajú predmety na skládku, aby ich mohli ďalej predať. Podarí sa deťom a PB3 zachrániť Martina?"
