Emil Zola
„Lourdes” to powieść z trylogii „Trzy miasta” znanego francuskiego pisarza Émile Zola, który jest uznawany za głównego przedstawiciela naturalizmu. Wszystkie jego utwory zostały umieszczone w Indeksie ksiąg zakazanych dekretami z końca XIX wieku. „Lourdes” to ciekawe opowiadanie o księdzu katolickim Piotrze Fromentcie, który przeżywa poważny kryzys wiary, co skłania go do udania się na pielgrzymkę do Lourdes z chorą przyjaciółką z dzieciństwa Marią de Guersaint. Piotr obserwuje naiwną wiarę tłumu w cuda i brak głębszej refleksji nad wiarą u uczestników pielgrzymki oraz postawie Ojców z Groty, którzy nastawieni są jedynie na zyski przynoszone przez pielgrzymki. Przed wyjazdem z miasta Ksiądz Froment zauważa poprawę wielu chorych, jednak okazuje się, że jest to wytłumaczalne przez naukę. Piotr obserwując sytuację, dochodzi do wniosku, iż ratunkiem dla katolicyzmu jest powrót do korzeni religii.

Love of Life and Other Stories
Jack London
Love of life is not only the name of the story, but also the main quality of one of the characters. Such an acute, almost tangible desire took possession of man that he, exhausted by hunger, cold, chills, illness, dislocation, hallucinations and other troubles that can await a lonely generational man in the forest. He survived the battle with a bear, with a wolf, with his mind and body, persuading him to rise again, persuading him to survive. The story is small in volume, wild and completely killing every touch of romanticism, which will revive again, barely reaching extreme significance.
