This book is a collection of 205 fundamental quotes and aphorisms of Woodrow Wilson: “I would … rather lose in a cause that I know some day will triumph than triumph in a cause that I know some day will lose.” “I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty.” “The ear of the leader must ring with the voices of the people.” “A man is not as big as his belief in himself; he is as big as the number of persons who believe in him.” “America was established not to create wealth but to realize a vision, to realize an ideal - to discover and maintain liberty among men.” “Fear God and you need not fear anyone else.” [mehr]

"Knallkopf Wilson" (Originaltitel: "Pudd’nhead Wilson. Those Extraordinary Twins.") ist ein Roman von Mark Twain. Er wurde 1894 veröffentlicht und erschien auf Deutsch auch unter den Titeln "Querkopf Wilson" und "Wilson, der Spinner". Samuel Langhorne Clemens (* 30. November 1835 in Florida, Missouri; † 21. April 1910 in Redding, Connecticut) – besser bekannt unter seinem Pseudonym Mark Twain – war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Mark Twain ist vor allem als Autor der Bücher über die Abenteuer von Tom Sawyer und Huckleberry Finn bekannt. Er war ein Vertreter des amerikanischen Realismus und ist besonders wegen seiner humoristischen, von Lokalkolorit und genauen Beobachtungen sozialen Verhaltens geprägten Erzählungen sowie aufgrund seiner scharfzüngigen Kritik an der amerikanischen Gesellschaft berühmt. In seinen Werken beschreibt er den alltäglichen Rassismus; seine Protagonisten durchschauen die Heuchelei und Verlogenheit der herrschenden Verhältnisse. [mehr]

The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson is a novel by Mark Twain. The setting is the fictional Missouri frontier town of Dawson's Landing on the banks of the Mississippi River in the first half of the 19th century. David Wilson, a young lawyer, moves to town and a clever remark of his is misunderstood, which causes locals to brand him a "pudd'nhead" – a nitwit. His hobby of collecting fingerprints does not raise his standing in the townsfolk's eyes, who see him as an eccentric and do not frequent his law practice. Puddn'head Wilson moves into the background as the focus shifts to the slave Roxy, her son, and the family they serve. Roxy is only one-sixteenth black, and her son Valet de Chambre (referred to as "Chambers") is only 1/32 black. Roxy is principally charged with caring for her inattentive master's infant son Tom Driscoll, who is the same age as her own son. After fellow slaves are caught stealing and are nearly sold "down the river", to a master further south, Roxy fears for her life and the life of her son. First she decides to kill herself and Chambers to avoid being sold down the river, but then decides instead to switch Chambers and Tom in their cribs so that her son will live a life of privilege. The narrative moves forward two decades, and Tom Driscoll (formerly Valet de Chambre), believing himself to be wholly white and raised as a spoiled aristocrat, has grown to be a selfish and dissolute young man. Tom's father has died and granted Roxy her freedom. Roxy worked for a time on river boats, and saved money for her retirement. When she finally is able to retire, she discovers that her bank has failed and all of her savings are gone. She returns to Dawson's Landing to ask for money from Tom. [mehr]

Master of the Gothic and creator of the detective genre, Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most famous writers in all of American literature. 'William Wilson' ranks amongst his spookiest tales, and features a thrilling examination of the doppelgänger theme. Many of the Gothic romance and horror stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. [mehr]
