Stoddard was born in Brookline, Massachusetts in 1850. In 1871 he graduated from Williams College. At Williams Stoddard was a member of the fraternity of Delta Psi ( aka St. Anthony Hall). Later he studied two years of theology at Yale Divinity School. After that he taught Latin and French at Boston Latin School.[2] He was proud of his descent from Solomon Stoddard.
He began traveling around the world in 1874, and published Red-Letter Days Abroad in 1884. He turned his experiences into a series of popular lectures delivered throughout North America. These lectures were periodically published in book form as John L. Stoddard's Lectures and eventually numbered ten volumes and five supplements (1897-1898).[3] In 1901, Stoddard published a book on Gibraltar.[4] The books include numerous illustrations derived from the immense catalog of photographs taken by Stoddard, and cover every subject, from art and architecture, to archeology and natural history. The books were immensely popular in their day and many copies still survive. Later in life, Stoddard also published poetry, as well as books on religious subjects.
Brought up a Protestant, Stoddard was an agnostic for over thirty years, before converting with his wife to Roman Catholicism. In 1922 he published Rebuilding a Lost Faith, a famous work of apologetics which is still in print.
The Main Street of Gibraltar - illustrated his 1901 book.[4]
Stoddard was a proponent of the restoration of the Jews to Israel. In Volume 2 of his Lectures he told the Jews, “You are a people without a country; there is a country without a people. Be united. Fulfill the dreams of your old poets and patriarchs. Go back, go back to the land of Abraham.”[5] A sentiment popularized as "A land without a people for a people without a land." However, his son Lothrop Stoddard, who remained agnostic after his father's conversion,[6][7] held antisemitic views.[8]
During his later life he used his fortune to support his adopted home of Merano, South Tyrol, contributing substantially to the building of its secondary school and to a home for homeless youth, now used as a rehabilitation centre. [mehr]

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle KGStJ, DL (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a British physician and writer who is most noted for his fictional stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. He is also known for writing the fictional adventures of a second character he invented, Professor Challenger, and for popularising the mystery of the Mary Celeste.[1] He was a prolific writer whose other works include fantasy and science fiction stories, plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels.Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born on 22 May 1859 at 11 Picardy Place, Edinburgh, Scotland.[2][3] His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, was born in England of Irish Catholic descent, and his mother, Mary (née Foley), was Irish Catholic. His parents married in 1855.[4] In 1864 the family dispersed due to Charles's growing alcoholism and the children were temporarily housed across Edinburgh. In 1867, the family came together again and lived in squalid tenement flats at 3 Sciennes Place.[5]
Supported by wealthy uncles, Doyle was sent to the Roman Catholic Jesuit preparatory school Hodder Place, Stonyhurst, at the age of nine (1868–70). He then went on to Stonyhurst College until 1875. From 1875 to 1876, he was educated at the Jesuit school Stella Matutina in Feldkirch, Austria.[5] By the time he left, he had rejected religion and become an agnostic,[6] though he would eventually become a spiritualist mystic.[7]
From 1876 to 1881 he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh Medical School, including a period working in Aston (now a district of Birmingham) and Sheffield, as well as Ruyton XI Towns, Shropshire.[8] While studying, Doyle began writing short stories. His earliest extant fiction, "The Haunted Grange of Goresthorpe", was unsuccessfully submitted to Blackwood's Magazine.[5] His first published piece The Mystery of Sasassa Valley, a story set in South Africa, was printed in Chambers's Edinburgh Journal on 6 September 1879.[5][9] On 20 September 1879, he published his first academic article, "Gelsemium as a Poison" in the British Medical Journal.[5][10][11] [mehr]

William Carleton (20 February 1794, Prolusk (often spelt as Prillisk as on his gravestone), Clogher, County Tyrone – 30 January 1869, Sandford Road, Ranelagh, Dublin) was an Irish writer and novelist.[1][2] He is best known for his Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry a collection of ethnic sketches of the stereotypical Irishman.[2]Carleton's father was a Roman Catholic tenant farmer, who supported fourteen children on as many acres, and young Carleton passed his early life among scenes similar to those he later described in his books.[1] Carleton was steeped in folklore from an early age, his father had an extraordinary memory (he knew the bible by heart) and as a native Irish speaker, a thorough acquaintance with Irish folklore; his mother was a noted singer.[1][2] The character of Honor, the miser's wife, in Fardorougha, is said to be based on her.[1]
Carleton received a basic education.[1] As his father moved from one small farm to another, he attended various hedge schools, which used to be a notable feature of Irish life.[1] A picture of one of these schools occurs in the sketch called "The Hedge School" included in Traits and Stories of Irish Peasantry.[1] Most of his learning was gained from a curate, Father Keenan, who taught a classical school at Donagh (County Monaghan) which Carleton attended from 1814 to 1816.[1] Before this Carleton had hoped to obtain an education as a poor scholar at Munster, with a view to entering the church; but he was shaken by an ominous dream, the story of which is told in the Poor Scholar, and he returned home.[1][2] An amusing account of this period is given in the sketch, "Denis O'Shaughnessy".[1]
Aged about nineteen, he undertook one of the religious pilgrimages then common in Ireland.[1] His experiences as a pilgrim, narrated in "The Lough Derg Pilgrim," made him give up the thought of entering the church, and he eventually became a Protestant.[1] [mehr]

Mary Augusta Arnold was born in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, into a prominent intellectual family of writers and educationalists.[2] Mary was the daughter of Tom Arnold, a professor of literature, and Julia Sorrell. Her uncle was the poet Matthew Arnold and her grandfather Thomas Arnold, the famous headmaster of Rugby School. Her sister Julia married Leonard Huxley, the son of Thomas Huxley, and their sons were Julian and Aldous Huxley.[3] The Arnolds and the Huxleys were an important influence on British intellectual life.
Mary's father Tom Arnold was appointed inspector of schools in Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) and commenced his role on 15 January 1850.[4] Tom Arnold was received into the Roman Catholic Church on 12 January 1856, which made him so unpopular in his job (and with his wife) that he resigned and left for England with his family in July 1856.[4] Mary Arnold had her fifth birthday the month before they left, and had no further connection with Tasmania. Tom Arnold was ratified as chair of English literature at the contemplated Catholic university, Dublin, after some delay. Mary spent much of her time with her grandmother. She was educated at various boarding schools (from ages 11 to 15, in Shifnal, Shropshire[5]) and at 16 returned to live with her parents at Oxford, where her father had a lecturership in history.[6] Her schooldays formed the basis for one of her later novels, Marcella (1894).[7][8]
On 6 April 1872, not yet 21 years old, Mary married Humphry Ward, a fellow and tutor of Brasenose College, and also a writer and editor. For the next nine years she continued to live at Oxford, at 17 Bradmore Road, where she is commemorated by a blue plaque.[9] She had by now made herself familiar with French, German, Italian, Latin and Greek. She was developing an interest in social and educational service and making tentative efforts at literature. She added Spanish to her languages, and in 1877 undertook the writing of a large number of the lives of early Spanish ecclesiastics for the Dictionary of Christian Biography edited by Dr William Smith and Dr. Henry Wace.[10] Her translation of Amiel's Journal appeared in 1887.

Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Molière (French pronunciation: [mɔ.ljɛːʁ]; 1622 – 1673), was a French playwright and actor who is considered to be one of the greatest masters of comedy in Western literature.[1] Among Molière's best-known works are Le Misanthrope (The Misanthrope), L'École des Femmes (The School for Wives), Tartuffe ou L'Imposteur (Tartuffe or the Hypocrite), L'Avare (The Miser), Le Malade Imaginaire (The Imaginary Invalid), and Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme (The Bourgeois Gentleman).
Born into a prosperous family and having studied at the Collège de Clermont (now Lycée Louis-le-Grand), Molière was well suited to begin a life in the theatre. Thirteen years as an itinerant actor helped him polish his comic abilities while he began writing, combining Commedia dell'arte elements with the more refined French comedy.[2]
Through the patronage of a few aristocrats, including Philippe I, Duke of Orléans—the brother of Louis XIV—Molière procured a command performance before the King at the Louvre. Performing a classic play by Pierre Corneille and a farce of his own, Le Docteur Amoureux (The Doctor in Love), Molière was granted the use of salle du Petit-Bourbon near the Louvre, a spacious room appointed for theatrical performances. Later, Molière was granted the use of the theatre in the Palais-Royal. In both locations he found success among the Parisians with plays such as Les Précieuses ridicules (The Affected Ladies), L'École des Maris (The School for Husbands) and L'École des Femmes (The School for Wives). This royal favor brought a royal pension to his troupe and the title "Troupe du Roi" (The King's Troupe). Molière continued as the official author of court entertainments.[3]
Though he received the adulation of the court and Parisians, Molière's satires attracted criticisms from moralists and the Roman Catholic Church. Tartuffe ou L'Imposteur (Tartuffe or the Hypocrite) and its attack on religious hypocrisy roundly received condemnations from the Church, while Don Juan was banned from performance. Molière's hard work in so many theatrical capacities began to take its toll on his health and, by 1667, he was forced to take a break from the stage. In 1673, during a production of his final play, Le Malade Imaginaire (The Imaginary Invalid), Molière, who suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis, was seized by a coughing fit and a haemorrhage while playing the hypochondriac Argan. He finished the performance but collapsed again and died a few hours later.[3] [mehr]

Dieser e.Book ist eine Autorenanleitung und eine vergnügliche Lektüre für Leser. Bücherschreiben ist wie eine Reise in ein unbekanntes Land. Mein autobiografischer Autorenpfad ist da so ein Reiseführer. Viele Wege zeige ich, die zur Kurzgeschichte , zum Aphorismus oder zu einem Gedicht führen. Schon der erste Schritt muss genau überlegt werden. Als vielfacher Texter, Lyriker, Aphorismendichter,Kurzgeschichtenschreiber und Romanverfasser erlebte ich bis zu meinem Rentenalter sowohl Erfolge und auch viele Reinfälle. Einst als Arbeiterdichter mit vielen Auszeichungen gab es einen grossen Reinfall, ich wurde ohne meines Wissens ein verbotener Schriftsteller. Ich gab nicht auf. So manches würde ich jetzt als Rentner mit vielen Schreiberfahrungen besser machen. Diese möchte ich besonders Schreibanfängern mit auf dem Weg geben. "Es ist noch kein Meister vom Himmel gefallen". Um jungen Autoren einen Weg zu zeigen, wie diese ihre Manuskripte meistern können, schrieb ich diesen persönlichen Autorenleitpfad. Gegenüber den allgemeinen Anleitungsbüchern, erkläre ich an Textbeispielen, z.B ,was ist ein Aphorismus und warum der erste Satz so wichtig ist? Ebenso zeige ich, warum e.Books Zukunft haben und für gute, aber enttäuchte Autoren ein Chance sind. Meine Empfehlung, bei meinem e.Book-Verlag, BookRix, könnt ihr kostenlos veröffentlichen. Viel Spass beim Schreiben!

Mein kurzes Personenprofil:
Als Rentner beheimatete ich mich neu auf der brasilianische Insel Itaparica. Dort schuf ich mir mit viel Fleiss und Schweiss ein buntes Blütenparadies. Ich bin Orchideenfan, aber auch ein Gerechtigkeitsnarr, da ecke ich überall an, schon als Arbeiterdichter im Arbeiterstaate, besonders bei der Stasi,von der ich insgeheim, aktenkundig, als Schriftsteller verboten wurde. Ich schreibe Gedichte, Aphorismen, Kurzgeschichten und „vielseitige“ Artikel. Ich veröffentlichte zwei Aphorismenbücher und ein Gedichtband. Inzwischen kamn noch 4.e Books dazu: Gedichtbuch:"Der Frühling zwitschert mir ein Gedicht", ein Aphorismenband: "Stichwörtersalat", ein Porträtsammlung:"Verrückte Berühmte" und Kurzgeschichten:" Ich bin der Weihnachtsmann von Vera Cruz".
Mein bestes Werk, mein Orchideenfan-Roman, vom Lektor und Cheflektor für gut befunden, wurde von der Stasi verboten.
Mein sensibles Bekenntnis
Ich möchte ein Kaktus sein
Mit Stacheln mich schützen
Gegen die vielen Verletzungen
Der Hinterhältigen
Meine Blütenpracht
Will ich entfalten
Euch zu erfreuen
Ihr seid eingeladen
Wie Kolibris und Schmetterlinge
Mich zu besuchen
Nach dem Welken
Werde ich
Immer wieder neue Knospen ansetzen... [mehr]

STAR GATE 080: Krieg am Ebrox
W. A. Travers: „Nergaard als Kriegsheld – auf einem Feldzug ohnegleichen!“
Noch vor der Invasion der Kyphorer ging der Konzern MAFIA einen Sonderweg, was den Bau des ersten Star Gates betrifft – und verursachte mit seiner Art von Star Gate ... perfekte Klone! Was sie nicht einmal ahnten: Nicht sie selbst bewirkten das, sondern sie schafften mit ihrer Versuchsanordnung lediglich die Verbindung zu einer geheimnisvollen Kraft, die das Äthermorph beherrscht (in alten SF-Romanen gern auch Hyperraum genannt). Für diese Macht eine gute Gelegenheit, Materie zu werden beziehungsweise von sich den perfekten Klon der transmittierten Person zu erschaffen. Und dann gelang es Original und Klon nicht nur, sich wieder zu vereinen, sondern auch ... zu fliehen!
Sein Name: Max Nergaard. Und der geheimnisvolle Außerirdische Xybrass rettet ihn in letzter Sekunde, um ihn auf den Planeten zu bringen, den die Menschen Phönix nennen. Dort muss er als »Bote der vergessenen Götter« in den Einsatz gehen, um einen schlimmen Fehler zu berichtigen, verursacht durch einen Riss im Raum-Zeit-Kontinuum auf Phönix. Vorher lässt er sich alle Erinnerung nehmen, um die wahren Umstände nicht verraten zu können, während er den Kampf als »Götterbote« aufnimmt gegen den ewigen Krieg...
Allerdings entwickeln sich die Dinge zunächst ganz anders: Anstatt den ewigen Krieg am Ebrox zu befrieden, nimmt er maßgeblich daran teil – und wird zum Helden der Monsterarmee, die sich anschickt, das Reich Korinx zu erobern...
DIE HAUPTPERSONEN:
Max Nergaard – war als Survival-Spezialist beim Konzern MAFIA nicht ganz freiwillig Versuchsperson bei einem perversen Experiment, das es nur bei einem Konzern geben konnte: Eben bei MAFIA! Und jetzt ist er auf Phönix, um sich als eine Art Superheld in einen ewigen Krieg einzumischen, seiner Erinnerungen beraubt. Denn die Krieg führenden Parteien am Fluss Ebrox dürfen nicht einmal ahnen, dass er in Wahrheit selbst zur Hälfte einer der sogenannten vergessenen Götter ist – und die Quelle aller Magie auf Phönix lediglich ein Riss im Raum-Zeit-Kontinuum, beschützt von einem Wächter, in dessen Auftrag Max Nergaard dafür sorgen soll, dass es keinen wirklichen Sieger in diesem Krieg geben kann...

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (/ˈniːtʃə/[1] or /ˈniːtʃi/;[2] German: [ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈniːt͡sʃə]; 15 October 1844 – 25 August 1900) was a German philosopher, cultural critic, poet, composer and Latin and Greek scholar. He wrote several critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science, displaying a fondness for metaphor[3] and irony.
Nietzsche's key ideas include perspectivism, the will to power, the death of God, the Übermensch and eternal recurrence. One of the key tenets of his philosophy is "life-affirmation", which embraces the realities of the world in which we live over the idea of a world beyond. It further champions the creative powers of the individual to strive beyond social, cultural, and moral contexts.[4] Nietzsche's attitude towards religion and morality was marked with atheism, psychologism and historism; he considered them to be human creations loaded with the error of confusing cause and effect.[5] His radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth has been the focus of extensive commentary, and his influence remains substantial, especially in schools of continental philosophy such as existentialism, postmodernism, and post-structuralism. His ideas of individual overcoming and transcendence beyond structure and context have had a profound impact on late-twentieth and early-twenty-first century thinkers, who have used these concepts as points of departure in the development of their philosophies.[6][7]
Nietzsche began his career as a classical philologist—a scholar of Greek and Roman textual criticism—before turning to philosophy. In 1869, at age 24, he became the youngest-ever occupant of the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. He resigned in 1879 due to health problems that plagued him most of his life.[8] In 1889, at age 44, he suffered a collapse and a complete loss of his mental faculties. The breakdown was later ascribed to atypical general paresis due to tertiary syphilis, but this diagnosis has come into question.[9] Re-examination of Nietzsche's medical evaluation papers show that he almost certainly died of brain cancer.[10] Nietzsche lived his remaining years in the care of his mother (until her death in 1897) and then his sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche. He died in 1900 following a stroke. [mehr]
