  Benjamin Franklin - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: )
For Franklin this was a great triumph, and the news of it filled the colonists with delight and restored him to their confidence and affection.
Another bill (the Declaratory Act), however, was almost immediately passed by the king's party, asserting absolute supremacy of parliament over the colonies, and in the succeeding parliament, by the Townshend Acts of 1767, duties were imposed on paper, paints and glass imported by the colonists; a tax was imposed on tea also.
The first novel printed in America was Franklin's reprint in 1744 of Pamela; and the first American translation from the classics which was printed in America was a version by James Logan (1674-1751) of Cato's Moral Distichs (173J).

 Remarque’s novel as a Pacifists Bible
The novel is told from the viewpoint of a young German soldier, Paul Baumer, who is influenced by his professor’s patriotic speeches to volunteer for the draft with his classmates.
Through this novel Remarque single handedly captured a view from the front that no one but the participants related to, but portrayed that experience in a way that readers connected with by voiding his novel of aesthetic exaggerations and filling it with simple terminology and realistic characters.
Although the novel was merely the author’s way of relieving the tension in his mind from his war encounter, Remarque unintentionally created an antiwar masterpiece that expressed the realism of war in a manner that regular simpletons could connect with.

Arch of Triumph was tremendously successful, and three years later was filmed with Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman in the leading roles.
He stressed that the novel addressed universal themes about humanity and also hoped that the book would have a political impact, considering the continued existence of concentration camps in the world.

 Author: Erich Maria Remarque
Examples of his other novels also internationally published are: The Road Back (1931), Three Comrades (1936, 38), Arch of Triumph (1945), The Black Obelisk (1956), and Night in Lisbon (1962).
Many of the films have become classics in film history: Arch of Triumph (1948), A Time to Love and a Time to Die (1958), and especially All Quiet On the Western Front (1930), a film seen by most people throughout the world as the epitome of an anti-war film.
The complete works of Remarque are both highly interrelated with his Osnabrück background and speaking thematically of a critical examination of German history, whereby the preservation of human dignity and humanity in times of oppression, terror and war always was at the forefront of his literary creation.

Indication of his state of mind revealed by the dedication at the beginning of the novel concerning the effects of the war on the generation of young men who, like PB, went straight from the school room to the trenches, in other words who were "destroyed by war" emotionally and pyschologically:
This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession (although it was both!), and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it.
Sex is one of the experiences denied to the young men who went straight from the classroom into the trenches, along with jobs, higher education and a life of their own.

 WorldNetDaily: Al and Stendhal
Considered one of the greatest novels in French literature, "The Red and the Black" is the story of Julien Sorel, a wildly ambitious young Frenchman in the provinces, who, ruthless and determined to rise to the top, has an affair with his employer's wife, then with a nobleman's daughter.
It is, by the way, the only great French novel that ends with the heroine making off with the guillotined head of her lover.
Although the novel was condemned by the Church as a thoroughly immoral work, the courthouse where the real-life Julien Sorel was tried and sentenced to death was packed before dawn during the trial -- and packed with women who palpitated at the passions the novel would evoke.

There are, however, many aspects of the novel which demonstrate Austen’s intelligent appreciation of contemporary literature and her ability to take its conventions and reinscribe them in her idiosyncratic form.
To such anxious attention was the general’s civility carried, that not aware of her extraordinary swiftness in entering the house, he was quite angry with the servant who had reduced her to open the door of the apartment herself.
While Austen’s novel demonstrates that there is real malice present in the General, unlike Udolpho the text suggests that the threat he poses is not the loss of her life or chastity, but of her dignity and happiness.
