Der Roman Ungeduld des Herzens, der 1939 veröffentlicht wurde, ist der einzige beendete Roman des Autors Stefan Zweig. Beschreibung: Der junge Leutnant Anton Hofmiller wird in das Schloss des ungarischen Magnaten Lajos von Kékesfalva eingeladen. Er lernt dessen gelähmte Tochter Edith kennen und entwickelt Zuneigung, vor allem aber tiefes subtiles Mitleid für sie. Er macht der unheilbar Kranken, die sich in ihn verliebt, Hoffnungen auf baldige Genesung und verlobt sich schließlich sogar mit ihr. Doch da er nur aus Mitleid, nicht aus Liebe handelt, nimmt das Unheil seinen Lauf. Aus Angst vor Spott und Verachtung steht er in der Öffentlichkeit nicht zu ihrer Verbindung. Als Edith erfährt, dass er die Verlobung vor anderen verleugnet, nimmt sie sich das Leben. Von Schuldgefühlen überwältigt, stürzt er sich in einer sinnlosen Flucht in die Kämpfe des beginnenden Ersten Weltkriegs.

Aus dem Buch: "Bei seinem großen Interesse für die englische Nation hatte Goethe mich ersucht, die hier anwesenden jungen Engländer ihm nach und nach vorzustellen. Heute um fünf Uhr erwartete er mich mit dem englischen Ingenieuroffizier Herrn H., von welchem ich ihm vorläufig viel Gutes hatte sagen können. Wir gingen also zur bestimmten Stunde hin und wurden durch den Bedienten in ein angenehm erwärmtes Zimmer geführt, wo Goethe in der Regel nachmittags und abends zu sein pflegt. Drei Lichter brannten auf dem Tisch; aber Goethe war nicht darin, wir hörten ihn in dem anstoßenden Saale sprechen. Herr H. sah sich derweile um und bemerkte außer den Gemälden und einer großen Gebirgskarte an den Wänden ein Repositorium mit vielen Mappen, von welchen ich ihm sagte, daß sie viele Handzeichnungen berühmter Meister und Kupferstiche nach den besten Gemälden aller Schulen enthielten, die Goethe im Leben nach und nach gesammelt habe und deren wiederholte Betrachtung ihm Unterhaltung gewähre." Johann Peter Eckermann (1792-1854) war ein deutscher Dichter und enger Vertrauter Goethes. Weniger die Gedichte, die in einem Bande im Jahre 1838 erschienen, als vielmehr die Niederschrift seiner Gespräche mit Goethe in den letzten Jahren seines Lebens haben Johann Peter Eckermann weithin bekannt gemacht und ihm hohe Anerkennung eingebracht.

In June 1889, Mrs Humphry Ward''s open letter "An Appeal Against Female Suffrage" was published with over a hundred other female signatories against the extension of Parliamentary suffrage to women. Inflamed by this "most despicable piece of treachery ever perpetrated towards women by women", Corbett wrote and published New Amazonia.In her novel, Corbett envisions a successful suffragette movement eventually giving rise to a breed of highly evolved "Amazonians" who turn Ireland into a utopian society. The book''s female narrator wakes up in the year 2472, much like Julian West awakens in the year 2000 in Edward Bellamy''s Looking Backward. Corbett''s heroine, however, is accompanied by a man of her own time, who has similarly awakened from a hashish dream to find himself in New Amazonia.The narrator reacts very positively to what she sees and learns; but her male companion reacts precisely oppositely and adjusts badly.

This was not my study, and I beheld nothing of the magazine which was the last thing I remembered seeing before I went to sleep. ... I was recalled to the necessity of behaving more decorously by hearing someone near me exclaim in mystified accents, "By Jove! But isn''t this extraordinary? I say, do you live here, or have you been taking hasheesh too?"...

Little Sister loves being outside more than anything - except her big brother Laddie, her hero and favorite sibling. Laddie''s and Little Sister''s mother and father love each other and their children with all their hearts and who love God most of all. Their main Christian precept is that God is Love and they show their love to their family, their friends, their neighbors, and even the strangers who come to live and resist becoming part of the community.
