Eine Zugfahrt von Wien nach Brünn, etwa 1883. Gregor Mendel, Abt des Augustinerklosters Brünn, sitzt allein im Waggon erster Klasse. In Wien hatte er einen letzten vergeblichen Versuch unternommen, im Streit um die Besteuerung des Klosters zu einer Einigung mit der Verwaltung zu kommen. Mendel ist alt und wegen einer Nierenkrankheit dick und unbeweglich. Der endgültige Misserfolg lässt ihn in einer Mischung aus Demut und Auflehnung Rechenschaft über sein Leben ablegen. Als Bauernsohn, zwar nicht brillant, aber beharrlich und sorgfältig, war er aufs Gymnasium gekommen und konnte später als Erster der Familie studieren. Ständig mittellos, findet er schließlich im Brünner Augustinerstift einen sicheren Hafen. Dort bekommt Mendel die Gelegenheit und die nötige Ausstattung für seine Forschungen: Viele Jahre lang züchtet er Erbsen im Klostergarten und führt Kreuzungsversuche durch. Doch seine Ergebnisse zur Merkmalsvererbung werden nahezu ignoriert. Erst Jahrzehnte nach seinem Tod werden sie wieder aufgegriffen, ausgerechnet im Zusammenhang mit Vorstellungen von 'Rassenhygiene' und Eugenik. Am Ende seines Rückblicks steht für Mendel die Gewissheit, mit allem wesentlichen Bemühen gescheitert zu sein. Doch dann nimmt die Erzählung eine Wendung ins Wundersame ... Über das Drama dieses Lebens hat Franz-Maria Sonner eine bemerkenswerte Novelle geschrieben.

Great paper good price
Size: 3 Reams | 1500 Sheets, Style: Letter (8.5x11)
This is a solid everyday paper option that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
The packaging was good—everything arrived in perfect condition with no bent corners or damaged reams. It’s nice not having to deal with warped paper right out of the box.
Printing quality has been consistent. I’ve used it for both home and work printing, and it feeds smoothly through the printer without jams. The brightness is good too—text comes out clear and sharp, and colors look decent for standard copy paper.
Overall, it’s reliable, good quality paper at a fair price. I’d definitely buy it again.

Nice daily use paper for ink jet printers. A good white rating too. OK for occasional color
Size: 1 Ream | 500 Sheets, Style: Letter (8.5x11)
Very good paper for daily use on ink jet printers. Good price, fast deliver, and packaged well. It even works well for color printing but not what you want for high quality glossy color prints.

Reliable everyday printer paper, no jams and clean prints
Size: 1 Ream | 500 Sheets, Style: Letter (8.5x11)
Standard printer paper that just works. Feeds consistently without jamming across multiple printers I use it in. The brightness level is good and text prints crisp and clear. The 500 sheet ream is a reasonable size to keep on hand. Nothing fancy to say here, it is just reliable paper at a fair price. Amazon Basics has been consistently good for these kinds of commodity items.

Reliable Everyday Printer Paper
Size: 1 Ream | 500 Sheets, Style: Letter (8.5x11)
This is standard plain printer paper for everyday home use, and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do without any issues. I have had no problems with paper jams, ink smudging, or feeding through the printer.
The paper is an average thickness, nothing special, but perfectly fine for printing documents. The color is white. It does not curl, and everything comes out clean and readable. It does not stand out in any particular way, but there is also nothing to complain about. Overall, it is reliable, consistent, and works well for regular home printing needs. I will buy again.
