El cuentro El armario de Thomas Mann narra la historia de Albrecht van der Qualen, un viajero solitario y taciturno el cual no repara en detalles minúsculos de la vida ni le gusta saber en qué ciudad, día o estación se encuentra.La historia comienza cuando Albrecht se despierta de un sueño fugaz en un tren, desorientado. Cuenta como no sabe dónde se encuentra y el placer que esto le proporciona. Al darse cuenta que tal vez pueda estar en una parte de Alemania, Albrecht se baja del tren en búsqueda de un lugar para dormir. Se dirige a una posada gerenciada por una extraña anciana, quien le muestra la habitación en donde se estará quedando. Dicha habitación solo consta de una cama y una armario, lo cual era suficiente para Albrecht. En un punto de la noche, Albrecht se da cuenta que en el armario vive una criatura humana femenina totalmente desnuda, que empieza a contarle historias. El narrador da a entender que Albrecht nunca se mudó de esa posada, ya que había sido encantado por la criatura.

The Intolerable Acts were the American Patriots' term for a series of punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea Party. They were meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance of throwing a large tea shipment into Boston Harbor in reaction to changes in taxation by the British to the detriment of Colonial goods. In Great Britain, these laws were referred to as the Coercive Acts.
The acts took away Massachusetts' self-government and historic rights, triggering outrage and resistance in the Thirteen Colonies. They were key developments in the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775.
