ellauri060.html on line 231: Daniel Defoe (/dɪˈfoʊ/; born Daniel Foe; c. 1660 – 24 April 1731) was an English writer, trader, journalist, pamphleteer and spy. He is most famous for his bestselling novel Robinson Crusoe, published in 1719, which is claimed to be second only to the Bible in its number of translations. He has been seen as one of the earliest proponents of the English novel, and helped to popularise the form in Britain with others such as Aphra Behn and Samuel Richardson. Defoe wrote many political tracts, was often in trouble with the authorities, and spent a period in prison for unpaid debts. Laissez faire intellectuals and political leaders paid attention to his fresh ideas and sometimes consulted him.
ellauri060.html on line 235: Daniel Foe was probably born in Fore Street in the parish of St Giles Cripplegate, London. His father, James Foe, was a prosperous tallow chandler of Flemish descent, and a member of the Worshipful Company of Butchers. In Defoe's early childhood, he experienced some of the most unusual occurrences in English history: in 1665, 70,000 were killed by the Great Plague of London, and the next year, the Great Fire of London left only Defoe and two other guys standing in his neighbourhood. In 1667, when he was probably about seven, a Dutch fleet sailed up the Medway via the River Thames and attacked the town of Chatham in the raid on the Medway. His mother, Alice, had died by the time he was about ten.

ellauri077.html on line 458: About Existentialist Engagement in Wallace, Eggers and Foer. The novels of David Foster Wallace, Dave Eggers and Jonathan Safran Foer are increasingly regarded as representing a new trend, an 'aesthetic sea change' in contemporary American fiction. 'Post-postmodernism' and 'New Sincerity' are just two of the labels that have been attached to this trend. But what do these labels mean? What characterizes and connects these novels?

ellauri210.html on line 583: 1919 gründete Kurt Hiller zusammen mit Armin T. Wegner den Bund der Kriegsdienstgegner (BdK), dem 1926 auch die renommierte Pazifistin Helene Stöcker beitrat. 1920 trat er der Deutschen Friedensgesellschaft bei, zu deren linkem Flügel er gehörte. Hier trat er dafür ein, dass sich der deutsche Pazifismus an der Sowjetunion orientieren müsse, obwohl er deren Leninismus sehr kritisch gegenüberstand. Da die Mehrheit aber auf das bürgerlich-demokratische Frankreich ausgerichtet blieb, kam es zu heftigen Konflikten in der DFG, die eskalierten, als Hiller in kommunistischen Blättern den bürgerlichen Pazifisten Friedrich Wilhelm Foerster und Fritz Küster vorwarf, sie würden sich von den Franzosen bezahlen lassen – eine Unterstellung, die den zahlreichen rechten Gegnern der deutschen Friedensbewegung reichlich Munition für ihre Polemik gab.
