Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

    29. August 1809 – 7. Oktober 1894

    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. war ein amerikanischer Jurist, der von 1902 bis 1932 am Obersten Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten tätig war. Bekannt für seine lange Amtszeit und seine prägnanten, pointierten Urteile, zeigte er stets eine hohe Achtung vor den Entscheidungen gewählter Gesetzgeber. Holmes ist nach wie vor einer der am häufigsten zitierten Richter des Obersten Gerichtshofs, insbesondere wegen seines Mehrheitsurteils zum „klaren und gegenwärtigen Gefahren“ im Fall Schenck v. United States von 1919, was seinen Status als einer der einflussreichsten amerikanischen Richter des Common Law festigte.

      Im Mittelpunkt des Romans steht die komplexe Beziehung zwischen dem Studenten Bernard Langdon und seiner außergewöhnlichen Schülerin Elsie Venner, die sich durch ihre Isolation und Wutausbrüche auszeichnet. Elsie, die nur zu wenigen Personen eine enge Bindung hat, wird von ihrer Lehrerin Miss Helen Darley und ihrem Vater Dudley stark beansprucht. Die Rückkehr ihres Cousins Richard "Dick" Venner, der eine turbulente Vergangenheit hat, bringt zusätzliche Spannung in die Geschichte. Die Erzählung beleuchtet Themen wie familiäre Bindungen, Isolation und die Herausforderungen des Erwachsenwerdens.

      Excerpt from Our Hundred Days in Europe After an interval of more than fifty years I propose taking a second look at some parts of Europe. It is a Rip Van Winkle experiment which I am promising myself. The changes wrought by half a century in the countries I visited amount almost to a transformation. I left the England of William the Fourth, of the Duke of Wellington, of Sir Robert Peel; the France of Louis Philippe, of Marshal Soult, of Thiers, of Guizot. I went from Manchester to Liverpool by the new railroad, the only one I saw in Europe. I looked upon England from the box of a stage-coach, upon France from the coupe of a diligence, upon Italy from the cushion of a carrozza. The broken windows of Apsley House were still boarded up when I was in London.
