The Richest Man In Babylon (book)
''The Richest Man in Babylon'' is a 1926 book by George S. Clason that dispenses financial advice through a collection of parables set 4,097 years ago in ancient Babylon.

Included in Arkad's advice are the "Seven Cures" (or how to generate money and wealth), and the "Five Laws of Gold" (or how to protect and invest wealth). A core part of Arkad's advice is around "paying yourself first", "living within your means", "investing in what you know", the importance of "long-term saving", and "home ownership". The content is from a series of pamphlets distributed by U.S. banks and insurance companies in 1920–24; the pamphlets were bound together and published as a book in 1926. The book is often refer ...

First Love (novella)
''First Love'' (russian: Первая любовь, ''Pervaya lyubov'') is a novella by Ivan Turgenev, first published in 1860. It is one of his most popular pieces of short fiction.
