Der junge Privatermittler Gabriel Cortéz Velasquèz glaubt das nicht, zumindest bis ihm Eleven begegnet. Auf den ersten Blick scheint sie ein völlig normales Mädchen zu sein, allerdings ist sie bereits seit 3 Jahren tot. Was verbindet diese beiden miteinander?

The Island of Doctor Moreau is an 1896 science fiction novel written by H. G. Wells, who called the novel "an exercise in youthful blasphemy". The text of the novel is the narration of Edward Prendick, a shipwrecked man rescued by a passing boat who is left on the island home of Doctor Moreau, who creates human-like beings from animals via vivisection. The novel deals with a number of philosophical themes, including pain and cruelty, moral responsibility, human identity, and human interference with nature.At the time of the novel's publication in 1896, there was growing discussion in Europe regarding degeneration and animal vivisection. Two years later, several interest groups were formed to address the issue such as the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection. [mehr]

George William Foote (11 January 1850 – 17 October 1915) was a British secularist and journal editor. In his Reminiscences of Charles Bradlaugh he recalls coming to London in January 1868 with "plenty of health and very little religion". He was taken to Cleveland Hall by a friend, and "heard Mrs. [Harriet] Law knock the Bible about delightfully. She was not what would be called a woman of culture, but she had what some devotees of 'culchaw' do not posses—a great deal of natural ability..." A few weeks later Foote heard Charles Bradlaugh speaking at the hall.[1] He became involved with the secularism, freethought and republicanism, joining the Young Men's Secular Association, the National Secular Society, and contributing to Bradlaugh's National Reformer. In 1877 Foote joined the anti-Bradlaughites in the breakaway British Secular Union. The split was caused by several factors: Bradlaugh's alleged autocratic style; Bradlaugh's association with Annie Besant; and Bradlaugh and Besant's involvement in promoting birth control and Neo-Malthusianism. The BSU was relatively short-lived, and Foote himself was reconciled to Bradlaugh within a few years, becoming an NSS vice-president from 1882. The Secularist: A Liberal Weekly Review (1876-1877), Foote's first attempt to launch his own publication, in collaboration with George Jacob Holyoake, did not last long. In May, 1881, Foote started a serial publication called The Freethinker which is still published. As a result of contents of this journal, Foote was charged with blasphemy, and eventually imprisoned for one year with hard labour. On receiving his sentence from Mr Justice North (a devout Catholic), Foote said "with great deliberation" to the Judge "My Lord, I thank you; it is worthy of your creed".[2] His description of this experience was published in 1886 as Prisoner for Blasphemy.

By Voltaire Candide

Candide is a French satire by Voltaire, a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment. It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism (or simply Optimism) by his mentor, Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not rejecting optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, "we must cultivate our garden", in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, "all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds". Candide is characterized by its sarcastic tone, as well as by its erratic, fantastical and fast-moving plot. A picaresque novel it parodies many adventure and romance clichés, the struggles of which are caricatured in a tone that is mordantly matter-of-fact. Still, the events discussed are often based on historical happenings, such as the Seven Years' War and the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. As philosophers of Voltaire's day contended with the problem of evil, so too does Candide in this short novel, albeit more directly and humorously. Voltaire ridicules religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers through allegory; most conspicuously, he assaults Leibniz and his optimism. As expected by Voltaire, Candide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. Immediately after its secretive publication, the book was widely banned because it contained religious blasphemy, political sedition and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naïveté. However, with its sharp wit and insightful portrayal of the human condition, the novel has since inspired many later authors and artists to mimic and adapt it. Today, Candide is recognized as Voltaire's magnum opus and is often listed as part of the Western canon; it is arguably taught more than any other work of French literature. It was listed as one of The 100 Most Influential Books Ever Written. [mehr]

As, Though Richard Had Fasted Long, He Could Not Eat, So, Though He Was Fatigued With The Travel Of The Last Two Days, He Could Not Sleep. He Turned From Side To Side Upon His Pillow Throughout The Weary Night, And Strove To Lose Himself, And Shut Out Thought, In Vain, Even For An Instant. He Got Up And Paced The Room; And, When The Streaks Of Dawn Began To Show Themselves, Drew Up The Blind, And Looked Forth. It Was A Very Different Scene From That He Had Been Accustomed To Contemplate At Gethin. In Place Of The Waste Of Ocean, Specked By A Sail Or Two, Whose Presence Only Served To Intensify Its Solitary Grandeur, The Thick-Peopled City Lay Before Him. But As Yet There Were No Tokens Of Waking Life; The Streets Were Empty, The Windows Shrouded, And A Steady Drizzle Of Rain Was Falling, Which Gave Promise Of A Wretched Day. Even When The Morning Advanced, It Was Difficult To Make Out The Individual Buildings; But He Had Had The Miners' Bank Pointed Out To Him On The Previous Day, And He Thought He Recognized It Now. It Was There That The Business Which He Had Proposed To Himself Was To Be Effected, And He Gazed At It With Interest. The Wisest Of Us Are Simple In Some Things, And Though So Knowing In The Ways Of The World--That Is, Of _His_ World--Richard Knew Nothing Of Banks Whatever, And Wondered Whether He Would Have Any Difficulty In Carrying Out His Object. He Could Not Foresee Any; It Seemed To Him That The Banking Folks Would Be Glad To Oblige Him In The Matter In Question, Since, If There Was Any Advantage, It Would Be On Their Side. But There Were Six Hours Yet Before He Could Perform This Business, And Since Sleep Was Denied Him, How Was He To Pass The Time? There Was A Large Book Upon The Drawers, Which He Had Not Hitherto Observed, With The Royal Arms Stamped Upon It, And The Name Of The Hotel Inscribed Beneath Them. It Did Not Look Like A Devotional Work, But It Was The New Testament--A Work That Was Very Literally New To Richard Yorke. He Had Seen It, Of Course, Often; Was Acquainted By Hearsay With Its Contents, And Had Joked About Them. It Is The Easiest Book In The World To Make Jokes Upon, Which, Perhaps, Accounts For Its Being So Favorite A Subject Of Ridicule With Foolish Persons. Shakspeare Is Also Easy To Make Fun Of, But The _Soupçon_ Of Blasphemy Is In That Case Wanting, Which, To Many, Forms The Chief Charm Of Witty Converse. Richard Looked At It As A Dog Looks At A Stick; But He Took It Up, And Opened It At Random. "Having No Hope, And Without God In The World." [mehr]
