ellauri070.html on line 433: Star Trek is an American media franchise originating from the 1960s science fiction television series Star Trek, created by Gene Roddenberry. That series, now often known as "The Original Series", debuted on September 8, 1966, and aired for three seasons on NBC. It followed the voyages of the starship USS Enterprise, a space exploration vessel built by the United Federation of Planets in the 23rd century, on a mission "to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before". In creating Star Trek, Roddenberry was inspired by C. S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower series of novels, Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, and television westerns such as Wagon Train. Hornblowerit oli Anna-Kaisa Oraviston mielilukemistoa. Pia Pipsukka piti Heinz Konsalikista.

ellauri110.html on line 137: Book IV of Gulliver's Travels is the keystone, in some ways, of the entire work,[citation needed] and critics have traditionally answered the question whether Gulliver is insane (and thus just another victim of Swift's satire) by questioning whether or not the Houyhnhnms are truly admirable. Gulliver loves the land and is obedient to a race that is not like his own. The Houyhnhnm society is based upon reason, and only upon reason, and therefore the horses practice eugenics based on their analyses of benefit and cost. They have no religion and their sole morality is the defence of reason, and so they are not particularly moved by pity or a belief in the intrinsic value of life. Gulliver himself, in their company, builds the sails of his skiff from "Yahoo skins".
ellauri110.html on line 145: On one hand, the Houyhnhnms have an orderly and peaceful society. They have philosophy and a language that is entirely free of political and ethical nonsense. They have no word for a lie (and must substitute a circumlocution: "to say a thing which is not"). They also have a form of art that is derived from nature. Outside Gulliver's Travels, Swift had expressed longstanding concern over the corruption of the English language, and he had proposed language reform. He had also, in Battle of the Books and in general in A Tale of a Tub, expressed a preference for the Ancients (Classical authors) because their art was based directly upon nature, and not upon other art.
ellauri110.html on line 147: On the other hand, Swift was profoundly mistrustful of attempts at reason that resulted in either hubris (for example, the Projectors satirised in A Tale of a Tub or in Book III of Gulliver's Travels) or immorality (such as the speaker of A Modest Proposal, who offers an entirely logical and wholly immoral proposal for cannibalism). The Houyhnhnms embody both the good and the bad side of reason, for they have the pure language Swift wished for and the amorally rational approach to solving the problems of humanity (Yahoos); the extirpation of the Yahoo population by the horses is very like the speaker of A Modest Proposal.

ellauri194.html on line 272: The author of the Travels of Sir John Mandeville, a 14th-century best-seller, said he had found these Jews in Central Asia where as Gog and Magog they had been imprisoned by Alexander, plotting to escape and join with the Jews of Europe to destroy Christians.
ellauri247.html on line 193: Laurence Sterne, in his A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy, refers to Smollett under the nickname of Smelfungus, due to the snarling abuse Smollett heaped on the institutions and customs of the countries he visited and described in his Travels Through France and Italy.
ellauri247.html on line 274: To sum up, then, Smollett's Travels were written hastily and vigorously expressly for money down.
xxx/ellauri291.html on line 88: Gene Roddenberry laati jo vuonna 1964 ehdotuksen tieteissarjasta, josta tulisi Star Trek. Vaikka hän markkinoi sitä julkisesti western-elokuvana ulkoavaruudessa – niin kutsuttuna " Wagon Train to the Stars" -junana, hän kertoi yksityisesti ystäville, että hän oli mallintamassa sitä Jonathan Swiftin Gulliver 's Travels -elokuvan mukaan ja aikoi jokaisessa jaksossa toimia kahdella tasolla: jännittävänä seikkailutarinana ja kökkönä moraalitarinana.
xxx/ellauri472.html on line 306: Greene led a remarkable lifestyle, he drank heavily, smoked opium, enjoyed extra marital affairs and visits to brothels whilst assuming the role of world travelling author, spy and journalist. His fame granted him audiences with the rich and powerful across the globe, his books sold in the millions and his name found itself on the big screen with, amongst others, Brighton Rock (two versions), The Quiet American (two versions) The End of the Affair (two versions) The Fugitive, The Fallen Idol and many more. Greene struck up a close friendship with the author Norman Douglas, a man whose fame outstripped his talent as an author and someone who became notorious on the island for not only his homosexuality but also his brazen fondness for young Italian boys. Douglas was on record for indecent assault on a young boy as far back as 1916 and he courted publicity with poems and limericks which were of an overtly paedophiliac nature yet greatly amused Greene. Elizabeth Moor who would prove to be the inspiration for Aunt Augusta in Travels with my Aunt by Greene confided in her close friend how Greene enjoyed occasional homosexual encounters and was very close to another known homosexual paedophile friend of Douglas, a certain Baron Ekkehard Von Schack. Juu ällöttävä pedofiili paska oli tääkin katoliikki.
