Baron Friedrich Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt was born in Berlin on September 4, 1769.
Forster had a great influence on young Humboldt and awakened in him his lifelong, romantic interest in the tropics as well as a strong, liberal, humanitarian idealism.
Humboldt's elder brother, Baron Wilhelm von Humboldt, was also a noted diplomat and man of letters specializing in philology and producing early work of significance in the character and structure of language.

There is a real dichotomy between Forster's novel "Maurice" and the homosexual stories collected in "The Life to Come." The novel, while it does focus on the trials and tribulations of a gay man coming to terms with his sexuality, ends on an optimistic note.
Like all Forster's novels, the plot of 'The Longest Journey' is secondary to the underlying themes - the new 'mechanical' society that Forster hated, being true to yourself and class structure.

 Brereton Family
And maybe it was in honor of the leader of that invasion, William of Normandy, that so many of the subsequent male members of the Brereton family were christened William – a fact that has caused so much confusion to historians.
It is recorded that the manor of Brereton was held under the Baron of Kinderton, another of the barons appointed by Earl William – held by the Brereton family from shortly after the Norman Conquest until 1722, when the last Lord Brereton died.
In 1627, when he was only 23 years of age, he was created a baron by King Charles I, the monarch he was later to so vigorously oppose in armed conflict.

Baron Humboldt, whose discoveries were to enrich the world, was born in 1769—the same year as Napoleon and Wellington—at Berlin, where his father occupied a high position at the Court of the King of Prussia.
As a little boy, Humboldt was taught by the man who had translated Robinson Crusoe into German, and his mind was soon filled with the spirit of adventure from reading the new story-book.
Forster had not been wrecked on a desert island, but he had actually sailed round the world with Captain Cook, and had written an account of his adventures.

What is important is David Carradine is set to star which baffles the hell out of me.
