The History of Literature701 Emerson's Struggle with Slavery (with Kenneth Sacks) | My Last Book with Victoria Namkung | We Had Sex Inside Moby-Dick!For several decades, Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was perhaps the most prominent writer and intellectual in America.

Kaum zu glauben, Österreich hat eine neue Regierung. Wir haben uns angesehen, was sie mit Dingen wie "Dickpics", Familiennachzug, dem Justizministerium, dem Verfassungsgerichtshof, Spionage, Sky Shield oder der Neutralität vorhat. Ein kleiner Ausflug zur deutschen Bundestagswahl und dem dortigen Minderheitenwahlrecht durfte ebenso nicht fehlen wie ein Blick in die USA von Woodrow Wilson bis zu Donald Trump.
