Theodore Lothrop Stoddard (June 29, 1883 - May 1, 1950) was an American political scientist, historian, journalist, anthropologist, eugenicist, pacifist, and anti-immigration advocate who wrote a number of books which are cited by historians as prominent examples of early 20th-century scientific racism. During World War II he wrote Into the Darkness, about the effect of war on Nazi Germany. Stoddard was relatively nonpartisan in his coverage of the Nazi regime, but he did express concern for the welfare of the European Jewish community, foreseeing intense violence against the Jews. He was always wary of and often opposed to the Nazis, despite their common support for eugenics. In "The Rising Tide of Color," Stoddard blasted the ethnic supremacism of the Germans, blaming the "Teutonic imperialists" for the outbreak of the First World War, and the Nazis, of course, simply carried this ethnic supremacism to more extreme ends. He opposed what he saw as the disuniting of the white peoples through intense nationalism within Europe. Nevertheless, after World War II, Stoddard's theories were judged as too closely aligned with those of the Nazis and he suffered a large drop in popularity. (Guterl 2004) His death in 1950 from cancer went almost entirely unreported, despite his previously broad readership and influence. (Fant 2000)

Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser (August 27, 1871 - December 28, 1945) was an American novelist and journalist of the naturalist school. His novels often featured main characters who succeeded at their objectives despite a lack of a firm moral code, and literary situations that more closely resemble studies of nature than tales of choice and agency. Jennie Gerhardt is a 1911 novel by Theodore Dreiser. Jennie Gerhardt is a destitute young woman. While working in a hotel in Columbus, Ohio, Jennie meets Senator George Brander, who becomes infatuated with her. He helps her family and declares his wish to marry her. Jennie, grateful for his benevolence, agrees to sleep with him, but ill fortune intercedes and the Senator dies, leaving her pregnant. She gives birth to a daughter, Vesta, and moves to Cleveland where she finds work as a lady's maid to a prominent family. Consequently, she meets Lester Kane, a prosperous manufacturer's son. Jennie falls in love with him, impressed by his strong will and generosity. She leaves her daughter behind and they visit New York together. Kane, unaware that Jennie has a child, wishes to marry her, but, anticipating his family's disapproval, decides instead that she shall become his mistress. They live together successfully in Chicago, even through Jennie's revelation after three years that Vesta is her daughter. Kane does not yield to his family's pressure to leave Jennie, but after his father's death discovers that he will not inherit a substantial part of the family business unless he discards her. They visit Europe together, where Kane's attention shifts from Jennie to a woman of his own class, Letty Gerald. On hearing the will's terms, it is Jennie who demands that they separate. Kane, after providing for her, marries Letty and resumes his former social status. Jennie loses her daughter to typhoid and adopts two orphans, but through it all, continues to love him. Kane becomes ill. He tells Jennie he still loves her, and she tends him until his death, mourning secretly at his funeral. (wikipedia.org)

It follows on from his Critique of Pure Reason and deals with his moral philosophy.The second Critique exercised a decisive influence over the subsequent development of the field of ethics and moral philosophy, beginning with Fichte's Doctrine of Science and becoming, during the 20th century, the principal reference point for every moral philosophy of a deontological stamp.

Алекса́ндр Никола́евич Афана́сьев (12 июля 1826 - 23 сентября [5 октября] 1871) - русский собиратель фольклора, исследователь духовной культуры славянских народов, историк и литературовед. Биография Афанасьева полна разнообразных проектов, однако делом всей своей жизни он считал собирательство славянской мифологии, легенд, детских сказок и мифов, которые объединял в тематические сборники. Если научные работы Александра Николаевича со временем лишились хотя бы какой-то ценности, то собрания сочинений с русским творчеством являются гордостью нации и по сей день. Александр Афанасьев использовал тот же метод, что и иные фольклористы - возводил фольклор к первобытным мифам. Примерами его применения являются статьи под названием "Ведун и Ведьма", "Дедушка-домовой", которые позже стали частью внушительного трехтомника под названием "Поэтические воззрения славян на природу". В 1951-м он начал готовить к выходу сборник заветных сказок. За 3 года библиография мужчины пополнилась 8 сборниками, озаглавленными "Русские народные сказки". (24smi.org)

Знаменитый русский писатель М. Е. Салтыков-Щедрин родился 1826 г. в селе Спас-Угол Тверской губернии в старинной дворянской семье. Детские годы прошли в родовом имении отца в одном из глухих углов "Пошехонья". Наблюдения за этой жизнью найдут впоследствии отражение в книгах писателя. Получив хорошее домашнее образование, Салтыков в 10 лет был принят пансионером в Московский дворянский институт, где провел два года, затем в 1838 переведен в Царскосельский лицей. Здесь начал писать стихи, испытав большое влияние статей Белинского и Герцена, произведений Гоголя. В конце 1855, после смерти Николая I, получив право "проживать где пожелает", возвратился в Петербург и возобновил литературную работу. М. Е. Салтыков-Щедрин умер 28 апреля 1889 в Петербурге. Замечательный роман М. Е. Салтыкова-Щедрина "Господа Головлевы" стоит в ряду лучших произведений русских писателей, таких, как Гоголь, Гончаров, Тургенев, изображавших жизнь дворянства. В романе с огромной обличительной силой раскрыты все пороки общества, порожденные в России господством помещиков. В своем суровом приговоре крепостничеству Салтыков-Щедрин разоблачил развращающее влияние собственности и паразитизма на человеческий характер, показал неизбежность нравственного и физического разрушения паразитической личности. Писатель изобразил историю морального опошления и вымирания семейства помещиков Головлевых. Оно является собирательным художественным образом, в котором автор обобщил все типичные черты быта, нравов, психологии помещиков накануне отмены крепостного права и после нее. (wikipedia.org)

Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (6 June [O.S. 26 May] 1799 - 10 February [O.S. 29 January] 1837) was a Russian poet, playwright, and novelist of the Romantic era. He is considered by many to be the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modern Russian literature.Pushkin was born into the Russian nobility in Moscow. His father, Sergey Lvovich Pushkin, belonged to an old noble family. His maternal great-grandfather was Major-General Abram Petrovich Gannibal, a nobleman of Sub-Saharan African origin who was adopted and raised in the Emperor's court household as his godson. He published his first poem at the age of 15, and was widely recognized by the literary establishment by the time of his graduation from the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum. Upon graduation from the Lycée, Pushkin recited his controversial poem "Ode to Liberty", one of several that led to his exile by Tsar Alexander I. While under the strict surveillance of the Tsar's political police and unable to publish, Pushkin wrote his most famous play, the drama Boris Godunov. His novel in verse, Eugene Onegin, was serialized between 1825 and 1832.Pushkin was fatally wounded in a duel with his wife's alleged lover and her sister's husband Georges-Charles de Heeckeren d'Anthès, also known as Dantes-Gekkern, a French officer serving with the Chevalier Guard Regiment. Pushkin is usually credited with developing Russian literature. He is seen as having originated the highly nuanced level of language which characterizes Russian literature after him, and he is also credited with substantially augmenting the Russian lexicon. Whenever he found gaps in the Russian vocabulary, he devised calques. His rich vocabulary and highly-sensitive style are the foundation for modern Russian literature. His accomplishments set new records for development of the Russian language and culture. He became the father of Russian literature in the 19th century, marking the highest achievements of the 18th century and the beginning of literary process of the 19th century. He introduced Russia to all the European literary genres as well as a great number of West European writers. He brought natural speech and foreign influences to create modern poetic Russian. Though his life was brief, he left examples of nearly every literary genre of his day: lyric poetry, narrative poetry, the novel, the short story, the drama, the critical essay and even the personal letter.
