  Thomas Mann - Autobiography
After finishing school rather ingloriously, I followed her and for the time being became a clerk in the office of a Munich insurance company whose director had been a friend of my father's.
The first literary fruit of my new status was the novel Königliche Hoheit (1909) [Royal Highness], a court story that provides the frame for a psychology of the formal-representative life and for moral questions such as the reconciliation of an aristocratic, melancholic consciousness with the demands of the community.
It was written during my work on a new novel which in subject matter and intention is far different from all earlier works, for it leaves behind the bourgeois individual sphere and enters into that of the past and myth.

 U.S. Postage Stamps of 1929
The Sullivan stamp commemorated the total devastation of the Iroquois lands in New York and Pennsylvania, necessitated by the Iroquois Nations allegiance to the British during the Revolutionary War.
This devastation is hardly something that would even be considered worthy of commemoration today, but in 1929 sentiment was different.
This resentment was tempered somewhat, for only ten days after the Ohio River Canalization stamps had been issued, on October 29, 1929, immortalized as "Black Tuesday", America and the world entered the Depression.

 Edgar Wallace, a Filmography...
In such literature the villains of the piece were young scoundrels who surreptitiously threw away their crusts and only ate crumb part of bread; desperadoes who kicked dogs, and threw large flies into spider's webs, and watched the spider at his fell work with glee." (from Double Dan, 1924)
Towards the end of his life, Wallace estimated that his work as a playwright was more important than his work as a writer of stories.
It was largely the success of the plays - THE CALENDAR (1929), On the Spot, and THE CASE OF THE FRIGHTENED LADY (1931) - which led to his being invited to Hollywood to work as a scriptwriter.
