John Stuart Mill was born on 20th May 1806. He was a delicate child, and the extraordinary education designed by his father was not calculated to develop and improve his physical powers. "I never was a boy," he says; "never played cricket." His exercise was taken in the form of walks with his father, during which the elder Mill lectured his son and examined him on his work. It is idle to speculate on the possible results of a different treatment. Mill remained delicate throughout his life, but was endowed with that intense mental energy which is so often combined with physical weakness. His youth was sacrificed to an idea; he was designed by his father to carry on his work; the individuality of the boy was unimportant. A visit to the south of France at the age of fourteen, in company with the family of General Sir Samuel Bentham, was not without its influence. It was a glimpse of another atmosphere, though the studious habits of his home life were maintained. Moreover, he derived from it his interest in foreign politics, which remained one of his characteristics to the end of his life. In 1823 he was appointed junior clerk in the Examiners' Office at the India House. [mehr]

There are few circumstances among those which make up the present condition of human knowledge, more unlike what might have been expected, or more significant of the backward state in which speculation on the most important subjects still lingers, than the little progress which has been made in the decision of the controversy respecting the criterion of right and wrong. From the dawn of philosophy, the question concerning the summum bonum, or, what is the same thing, concerning the foundation of morality, has been accounted the main problem in speculative thought, has occupied the most gifted intellects, and divided them into sects and schools, carrying on a vigorous warfare against one another. And after more than two thousand years the same discussions continue, philosophers are still ranged under the same contending banners, and neither thinkers nor mankind at large seem nearer to being unanimous on the subject, than when the youth Socrates listened to the old Protagoras, and asserted (if Plato's dialogue be grounded on a real conversation) the theory of utilitarianism against the popular morality of the so-called sophist.

Vladimir Horescu, leitender Manager der Computerfirma IBEX Corporation West, erhält eines Tages einen Brief von seinem Vater – zumindest behauptet der Schreiber des Briefs, er sei Vladimirs Vater und deutet an, er sei der ebenso berühmte wie berüchtigte Dracula. Vladimir selbst war davon ausgegangen, dass sein Vater tot sei, wie es ihm seine Pflegeeltern gesagt hatten. In der Folge erhält Vladimir mysteriöse Besuche – zunächst dringt ein Mann in sein Haus ein, der vorgibt, Luzifer zu sein, und dieser ersucht Vladimir um Beistand bei seinem Kampf gegen Dracula. Dazu schickt er ihm eine Frau, Margaret Holland, die ihn dabei unterstützen soll. Und tatsächlich gerät Vladimir immer tiefer in eine blutige Auseinandersetzung mit Dracula... Der Roman John Shirleys Dracula von Cyberpunk-Legende John Shirley erschien erstmals im Jahr 1979; der Apex-Verlag veröffentlicht diesen modernen Horror-Klassiker in der vom Autor überarbeiteten Version als deutsche Erstveröffentlichung, übersetzt von Alfons Winkelmann.

John Burroughs (April 3, 1837 – March 29, 1921) was an American naturalist and nature essayist, active in the U.S. conservation movement. The first of his essay collections was Wake-Robin in 1871. In the words of his biographer Edward Renehan, Burroughs' special identity was less that of a scientific naturalist than that of "a literary naturalist with a duty to record his own unique perceptions of the natural world."
