<p>Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a satirical novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott, first published in 1884 by Seeley & Co. of London. Written pseudonymously by "A Square", the book used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to comment on the hierarchy of Victorian culture, but the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions.</p> <p>Several films have been made from the story, including the feature film Flatland (2007). Other efforts have been short or experimental films, including one narrated by Dudley Moore and the short films Flatland: The Movie (2007) and Flatland 2: Sphereland (2012).</p> <p>The story describes a two-dimensional world occupied by geometric figures, whereof women are simple line-segments, while men are polygons with various numbers of sides. The narrator is a square, a member of the caste of gentlemen and professionals, who guides the readers through some of the implications of life in two dimensions. The first half of the story goes through the practicalities of existing in a two-dimensional universe as well as a history leading up to the year 1999 on the eve of the 3rd Millennium.</p> <p>On New Year's Eve, the Square dreams about a visit to a one-dimensional world (Lineland) inhabited by "lustrous points". These points are unable to see the Square as anything other than a set of points on a line. Thus, the Square attempts to convince the realm's monarch of a second dimension; but is unable to do so. In the end, the monarch of Lineland tries to kill A Square rather than tolerate his nonsense any further...</p>

<p>Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (29 January 1860 – 15 July 1904) was a Russian playwright and short-story writer, who is considered to be among the greatest writers of short fiction in history. His career as a playwright produced four classics, and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre.Chekhov practiced as a medical doctor throughout most of his literary career: "Medicine is my lawful wife", he once said, "and literature is my mistress."</p> <p>Chekhov had at first written stories to earn money, but as his artistic ambition grew, he made formal innovations which have influenced the evolution of the modern short story. He made no apologies for the difficulties this posed to readers, insisting that the role of an artist was to ask questions, not to answer them.</p> <p>The following works were included in the collection of stories Chekhov Anton Pavlovich: The Lady with the Dog, The Wife, The Slander, The Horse-Stealers, The Petchenyeg, A Dead Body, A Happy Ending, The Looking-Glass, Old Age, Darkness, The Beggar, In Trouble, Frost, Minds in Ferment, Gone Astray, The Avenger, The Jeune Premier, A Defenceless Creature, An Enigmatic Nature, A Happy Man, A Troublesome Visitor, An Actor's End.</p>

The title refers to a fictional city that later appears in Lovecraft's Dream Cycle, including his novella The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath (1926).</p> <p>Celephaïs was created in a dream by Kuranes (which is his name in dreams—his real name is not given) as a child of the English landed gentry. As a man in his forties, alone and dispossessed in contemporary London, he dreams it again and then, seeking it, slowly slips away to the dream-world. Finally knights guide him through medieval England to his ancestral estate, where he spent his boyhood, and then to Celephaïs. He became the king and chief god of the city, though his body washes up by his ancestors' tower, now owned by a parvenu.</p> <p>In The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, Randolph Carter pays a visit to Kuranes, finding that the great dreamer has grown so homesick for his native Cornwall, he has dreamed parts of Celephaïs to resemble the land of his boyhood. Kuranes advises Carter, on a mission to find his own dream-city, to be careful what he wishes for—he might get it.</p> <p>Famous works of the author Howard Phillips Lovecraft: At the Mountains of Madness, The Dreams in the Witch House, The Horror at Red Hook, The Shadow Out of Time, The Shadows over Innsmouth, The Alchemist, Reanimator, Ex Oblivione, Azathoth, The Call of Cthulhu, The Cats of Ulthar, The Dunwich Horror, The Doom that Came to Sarnath, The Festival, The Silver Key, The Other Gods, The Outsider, The Temple, The Picture in the House, The Shunned House, The Terrible Old Man, The Tomb, Dagon, From Beyond, What the Moon Brings. </p>

Am Europatag 2021 wurde in Paris die "Zukunftskonferenz" feierlich eröffnet. Damit setzte die EU ein positives Zeichen – nach der Pandemie müsse man mit vereinten Kräften den Herausforderungen der Gegenwart und der Zukunft wie z.B. Klima, Digitalisierung oder Migration entgegentreten. Zukunft braucht aber auch Erinnerung: Daher beginnt dieses Buch zunächst mit einer Rückblende auf die Ideengeschichte der europäischen Vereinigung. Basierend auf einer Auswahl von Europa-Visionen wird der ab 1945 einsetzende europäische Integrationsprozess dargestellt. Seine Merkmale waren und sind Krisen, Lähmungen und nationalstaatliche Alleingänge der Mitgliedstaaten. Auch wenn die europäische Integration somit kein geradliniger Weg war bzw. ist, kann man sie dennoch als Erfolgsgeschichte bezeichnen. Welchen Anteil Österreich daran hatte und wie es als EU-Mitglied agiert, wird in einem weiteren Kapitel untersucht. Zudem werden das politische System der EU und die EU vorgestellt und im letzten Kapitel ausgewählte Politikbereiche wie beispielsweise die Außen- sowie Sicherheits- und Verteidigungs-, aber auch die Gleichstellungspolitik der EU diskutiert. Für die vierte Neuauflage wurde der Band umfassend überarbeitet und aktualisiert. Die veränderte Schwerpunktsetzung sowie die vorgenommenen Ergänzungen und Gewichtungen tragen sowohl der Entwicklung der EU in den letzten Jahren als auch der fortschreitenden Forschung in diesem Bereich Rechnung. Zahlreiche Textdokumente und Grafiken vertiefen und komplettieren die Darstellung.
