Story
What does one do when issued an order by a superior that is contradictory to what one believes to be right? In this short fictional story from the American Civil War, the protagonist is faced with that very situation. When given an insulting and ridiculous order by his commanding general, he carries the order out. Then, when questioned by a subordinate, he passes it on to him in the same manner. Friendly fire in a fog is just as deadly as fire from the enemy.

Story
Ambrose Bierce's "One Kind of Officer" is a story of the heartache of orders given without discretion in the field. Like so many of his Civil War stories, it is a thoughtful look at the problems facing soldiers during wartime. An abuse of power leads to a needless death in this classic American tale.

Story
Die Prosa von Joachim Ringelnatz gleicht einer großen Überraschungsbox, die im phantastisch-grotesken Gewand gesellschaftliche Schwächen und menschliche Verhaltensweisen scharfsinnig und humorvoll charakterisiert. "Die Walfische und die Fremde" erzählt von schiffbrüchigen Seeleuten und deren privaten Erlebnissen bei ihrem erzwungenen Landgang. "Vom Tabarz" berichtet über eine todesmutige Fliege, die glaubt aus der Eiszeit zu stammen und damit über tausend Jahre alt zu sein und die Philosophie für sich entdeckt.

Story
Tolstoj war ein zutiefst gläubiger Mensch, der in seinen religiösen Ansichten die orthodoxe Kirche in Russland zur Weißglut trieb. Er leugnete die Jungfräulichkeit Marias, was heute bei vielen Christen nichts Außergewöhnliches mehr ist und war bekennender Vegetarier. Sein Lehrbuch für Kinder wurde noch zu Sowjet-Zeichen als Schullektüre verwendet. Seine Literatur setzt sich sehr gesellschaftskritisch und feinsinnig mit den politischen Strukturen auseinander und zeichnet sich durch ein generationenübergreifendes Verständnis von zwischenmenschlichen Perspektiven aus.
