It was apparently a recurrence of the "ague" he had suffered earlier that year, and, although it would delay their departure to Prague, there seemed to be little cause for alarm. Quinine and a few days rest were prescribed. By Sunday 15th, Hallam felt sufficiently better to take a short walk with his father in the evening. When he returned to the hotel he ordered some sack and lay down on the sofa, talking cheerfully all the time. Leaving his son reading in front of the fire, his father went out for a further stroll. He returned to find Hallam still on the sofa, apparently asleep apart from the position of his head. All efforts to rouse him were in vain. Arthur Hallam was dead at the age of twenty-two.
ellauri082.html on line 389: Jamesia pidetään nykyaikaisen uskontopsykologian perustajana. James kirjoitti muun muassa amerikkalaisen psykologian perusteoksena pidetyn The Principles of Psychology, joka ilmestyi vuonna 1890. Teoksillaan The Will to Believe (1897), The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902, suom. Uskonnollinen kokemus), Pragmatism (1907, suom. Pragmatismi) ja The Meaning of Truth (1909) James loi maineen yhtenä aikansa merkittävimmistä uskontofilosofeista. William Jamesin vuonna 1896 pitämän esitelmän ”The Will to Believe” mukaan uskonnollinen usko on äärettömän riskin ottamista. Se on kuin vuorikiipeilijän hengenvaarallinen loikka, joka ei voi toteutua ilman vankkaa uskoa hypyn onnistumiseen.

The search for Kafka's traces led to his first visit to Prague in 1972, which was followed by annual trips until the author was refused an entry visa in 1977. In Czechoslovakia Roth got to know contemporary Czech literature and was in contact with Ivan Klíma, Milan Kundera and Ludvík Vaculík in particular.
ellauri117.html on line 142: Lebensgeschichte: Der in Prag geborene und kurzgewachsene Kafka war der älteste überlebende Sohn einer gutsituierten jüdischem Kaufmannsfamilie. Obwohl seine Mutter aus einer Familie von Mystikern, Intellektuellen und Künstlern stammte, hatte sie Schwierigkeiten, die grüblerische, melancholische Persönlichkeit ihres Sohnes und seine Leidenschaft fürs Schreiben zu verstehen. Auch seinem Vater war der sensible Franz ein Rätsel und die Zielscheibe seines beißenden Spotts. Franz unterwarf sich schließlich dem Willen des Vaters und schlug gegen seine Neigung eine günstige Juristenlaufbahn ein.
ellauri117.html on line 144: 1906 machte Kafka seinen Abschluß an der Prager Universitet und wandte sich mit Unbehagen dem Versicherungsgeschäft zu. Die Plackerei der Büroarbeit verlangte nach einem Ausgleich, und er nahm jede Gelegenheit wahr, außerhalb der Stadt zu schwinmen, zu rudern oder zu wanken. Aber diese Zerstreuungen waren nur kurze Unterbrechungen der zermürbenden Routine, die er sich gezwungenermaßen als Lebensinhalt gewählt hatte. Tagsüber arbeitete er für die Arbeiter-Unfall-Versicherungs-Anstalt», und
ellauri117.html on line 160: Man sagt, daß Kafka seine erste sexuelle "Begegnung" mit seiner französischen Gouvernante hatte, doch hat er diskreterweise immer nur in Andeutungen über dieses «Urerlebnis» gesprochen. Den ersten regen Geschlechtsverkehr hatte er als Zwanzigjähriger mit einer tschechischen Verkäuferin. Sie verbrachten einen Abend in einer billigen Absteige. Diese Erfahrung bestärkte Kafka in seinem Ekel vor dem Geschlechtsverkehr und in seinem Glauben, daß Sexualität eine von Natur aus schmutzige, nichtswürdige Anlegenheit sei. Gerade das Entgegengesetzte predigte D.H.Lawrence (infra). Trotzdem streunte er seine ganze Studentenzeit indurch immer wieder durch das Bordellviertel von Prag, genau wie die anderen Heißsporne unter seinen Kommilitonen. Er ekelte sich vor seiner eigenen sexuellen Lust, erkannte aber zugleich auch die Notwendigkeit, ihr hin und wieder einzustecken:
ellauri117.html on line 168: 1919 begegnete er während eines Aufenthalts in einer Pension in der Nähe von Prag Julie Wohryzek, der Tochter eines tschechischen Schuhmachers. Sie wurde seine zweite Verlobte. Im Gegensatz zu Felice hatte Julies Familie weder Besitz noch Ansehen, un Kafkas Vater bemerkte mit beißendem Spott, daß sein Sohn wohl besser beraten wäre, wenn er ein Bordell besuchen würde. Die etwa dreißig Jahre alte Julie war eine unbekümmerte, unge gebildete Frohnatur. Kafka sah in ihr die ideale Partnerin für eine zuträgliche, vernünftige Ehe. Doch auch diese Verlobung wurde aufgelöst - angeblich weil das Paar das Loch nicht finden konnte, in Wahrheit eine der zwanghaften Befürchtungen, die Frans Beziehungen zu Frauen stets überschatteten.
ellauri119.html on line 553: Pragma comes from the Greek term πρᾶγμα, meaning "businesslike", from which terms like "pragmatic" are derived. Lee defines pragma as the most practical type of love, not necessarily derived out of true romantic love. Rather, pragma is a convenient type of love.

Juni 2008 von mehreren prominenten europäischen Politikern, ehemaligen politischen Häftlingen und Historikern unterzeichnet, unter ihnen Václav Havel und Joachim Gauck. Die Erklärung forderte unter anderem die Verurteilung von kommunistischen Verbrechen und die Ausrufung des 23.

ellauri192.html on line 45: Prince Nikolai Sergeyevich Trubetzkoy (Russian: Никола́й Серге́евич Трубецко́й, IPA: [trʊbʲɪtsˈkoj]; 16 April 1890 – 25 June 1938) was a Russian linguist and historian whose teachings formed a nucleus of the Prague School of structural linguistics. He is widely considered to be the founder of morphophonology. He was also associated with the Russian Eurasianists.
ellauri192.html on line 55: The Prague linguistic circle included the Russian émigrés Roman Jakobson, Nikolai Trubetzkoy, and Sergei Karcevskiy, as well as the famous Czech literary scholars René Wellek and Jan Mukařovský. The instigator of the circle, and its first president until his death in 1945, was the Czech linguist Vilém Mathesius. After the Czechoslovak coup d'état of 1948, the circle was disbanded in 1952 (another marked year), but the Prague School continued as a major force in linguistic functionalism.
ellauri192.html on line 77: Jakobson escaped from Prague in early March 1939 via Berlin for Denmark, where he was associated with Louis Hjelmslev's Copenhagen linguistic circle. He fled to Norway on 1 September 1939, and in 1940 walked across the border to Sweden, where he continued his work at the Karolinska Hospital (with works on footsores, aphasia and language competence). When Swedish colleagues feared a possible German occupation, he managed to leave on a cargo ship, together with Ernst Cassirer (the former rector of Hamburg University) to New York City in 1941 to become part of the wider community of intellectual émigrés who fled there.
ellauri192.html on line 257: Jaroslav Seifert was born in Zizkov, a suburb of Prague, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). Seifert was one of the pioneers of modernist poetry and literature in his native country. He also worked as a journalist and translator. The period after the World War II was a disappointment for Seifert, who had been hoping for a brighter and freer future. Instead the Communist government imposed a repressive policy in which poets were expected to write political propaganda. Seifert became involved in attempts at reforms with the increased freedom implemented in his native country, such as the Prague Spring of 1968 and the Charta 77 movement.
ellauri192.html on line 635: Born in Žižkov, a suburb of Prague in what was then part of Austria-Hungary, Seifert's first collection of poems was published in 1921. He was a member of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ), the editor of a number of communist newspapers and magazines – Rovnost, Sršatec, and Reflektor – and the employee of a communist publishing house.
ellauri192.html on line 653: Professor Gibian, who was born in Prague, said that he has been translating some of the more recent Seifert poems for his own edification and pleasure. "They are a combination of the intimate lyrical tone of Czech poetry," he said, "heavily influenced by French Surrealism with much of the eroticism characteristic of Czechoslovak poetry in this century. His earlier poetry was sometimes melancholy but his recent work is conversational, very compassionate. He has written a cycle of poems about Prague. All this brings back my life and loves in Prague." All these Czechs are teaching Russian in the U.S., who would bother to learn Czech anyway?
ellauri192.html on line 655: Seifert's most recent cycle, he said, contains a poem - which would translate as "Paradise Lost" - about an ancient Jewish cemetery in Prague. "Seifert is not Jewish," Professor Gibian said, "but he has tremendous sympathy for the Jews massacred in World War II and their suffering, and this is represented by the cemetery." Dig deeper into the moment.

Nach der Machtübernahme der Nationalsozialisten wurde Hiller, der als Pazifist, Sozialist, Jude und Homosexueller den Nazis verhasst war, insgesamt dreimal verhaftet, in den Konzentrationslagern Columbia-Haus, Brandenburg und Oranienburg inhaftiert und schwer misshandelt. Nach seiner Entlassung 1934, die auf hohe Fürsprache von Rudolf Heß hin zustande kam,[10] floh er nach Prag und 1938 weiter nach London. Im Exil gründete er den Freiheitsbund Deutscher Sozialisten und die Gruppe Unabhängiger Deutscher Autoren.

In einem komischen Vorfall befahl Hitler, die Mendelssohn-Statue vom Dach des Prager Opernhauses zu entfernen, aber die Arbeiter entfernten fälschlicherweise die Statue von Richard Wagner, den sie wegen der Größe seiner Nase für einen Juden hielten.

Zionistenkongress 1933 in Prag etwa bezeichnete der Schriftsteller Schalom Asch das Abkommen mit Hitlers Regime als „Verrat am Weltjudentum“. Chaim Arlosoroff, der damalige Verhandlungsführer der Jewish Agency, wurde wahrscheinlich deshalb im Juni 1933 Opfer eines Mordanschlags.

xxx/ellauri122.html on line 792: While Kafka had intended for the story to be burned after his death, his friend Max Brod pressed forward to prepare it for publication. Franz was right. The two met as teenagers, following a talk Brod gave about Arthur Schopenhauer at a students’ Union Club on Prague’s Ferdinandstrasse. One of their first conversations concerned Nietzsche’s attack on Schopenhauer’s renouncement of the self. Pretty quickly the two curious minds became inseparable, usually meeting twice daily to discuss life, literature, philosophy, and whatever other topics might randomly arise. Like sex...
xxx/ellauri122.html on line 796: In their early 20s the pair vacationed together on Lake Garda on the Austrian-Italian border; they paid their respects at Goethe’s house in Weimar; stayed together at the Hotel Belvedere au Lac in Lugano, Switzerland; and even visited brothels together in Prague, Milan, Leipzig, and Paris. Brod, a self-confessed ladies’ man with an insatiable appetite for adventurous sexual conquests, often berated Kafka for not having a similarly urgent drive of eros. “You avoid women and try to live without them,” Brod once told his friend.
xxx/ellauri187.html on line 79: Rilke’s path was more circuitous. Born to a liberal family in Prague when Rodin was 35, the young Rilke was dressed as a girl by his mother and called “Sophie.” (His given name was actually René.) When he came of age, his parents sent him to a military academy in hopes that he might achieve the officer’s rank that eluded his father, but the students there saw him as “fragile, precocious and a moral scold”—qualities that linger with him throughout the book, until he emerges from Rodin’s shadow as a major writer.
xxx/ellauri187.html on line 99: Born in 1875 in Prague, Rilke was until he was six or seven got up in skirts by his mother, who named him René and tried to console herself for the death of an infant daughter. By the time Rilke was ten, his disappointed romantic of a mother had left his father, a kindly but ineffectual minor railway official, who had spent some years in the Austrian army unsuccessfully seeking commission as an officer. Rilke's parents decided to send the young boy to military school, a prospect that stirred the father's hopes of turning his son into a soldier. LOL. Though he later claimed to have loathed military school, the young bohemian warmly absorbed the values of discipline, valor, and self-sacrifice into his ideal of the defiant artist-hero. He skillfully foiled his father's martial expectations, and lack of funds freed the aspiring poet from his family's next plans for him: law school. In fact, though he attended several universities, soaking up lectures on diverse subjects throughout his life, he never graduated from any of them. About such a practical matter as a sheepskin, the finest German lyricist since Goethe wrote as an adolescent, "And even if I never reach my Arts degree / I'm still a scholar, as I wished to be."
xxx/ellauri187.html on line 105: Rilke lived on the brink of poverty for much of his life, dependent on the good graces of aristocratic and haute-bourgeois patrons in the twilight of the Hapsburg Empire. His shaky situation, much as he complained of it, suited his temperament as well as did the black clothes he liked to parade in during his dandyish younger days in Prague. Like the great German mystics, Rilke was a confirmed solitary. Thus he sought to form emotional bonds with people more ardently than do those who take their desire to be with others for granted. Wandering from person to person and from place to place like a pilgrim, he found that patrons offered him, among more practical things, a potential shrine of emotional fulfillment.
