        Die Lichter von Paris

        Roman

        by Eleanor Brown, Christel Dormagen, Brigitte Heinrich

        Nach außen scheint alles perfekt. Madeleine ist mit einem erfolgreichen Geschäftsmann verheiratet, sie hat ein schönes Zuhause in Chicago und keine finanziellen Sorgen. Dennoch ist sie nicht glücklich: Wie schon ihre Mutter und ihre Großmutter ist sie gefangen in einem Leben, das aus gesellschaftlichen Verpflichtungen besteht; die eigenen Träume sind auf der Strecke geblieben. Als Madeleine eines Tages auf dem Dachboden ihres Elternhauses die Tagebücher ihrer Großmutter entdeckt, erfährt sie Unglaubliches: Die strenge, stets auf Etikette bedachte Großmutter Margie war einst eine lebenslustige junge Frau, die der Enge des Elternhauses nach Europa ins wilde Paris der 20er Jahre entfloh, um frei und unabhängig als Schriftstellerin zu leben. Dort verliebte sie sich in einen charismatischen jungen Künstler und verbrachte einen glücklichen Sommer in der Pariser Boheme ... Von Margies Geschichte ermutigt, fasst sich Madeleine endlich ein Herz, ihr Leben selbst in die Hand zu nehmen …

        The rise of the Nazis

        by Conan Fischer, Mark Greengrass

        How and why did the Nazis seize power in Germany? Nearly seventy years on, the question remains heated and important discoveries continue to challenge long standing assumptions. Beginmning with an overview of the historical context within which Nazism grew, looking at the foreign relations, politics and society of Weimar and in particular at the role of the elites in the rise of Nazism. The book questions the anatomy of Nazism itself: What lent Nazi ideology its coherence and credibility? What distinguished the Nazi's programme from their competitors' and how did they project it so effectively? How was Hitler able to put together and fund an organisation so quickly and effectively that it could launch a sustained assault on Weimar? Who supported the Nazis and what were their motives? Where, precisely, does Nazism belong in the history of Europe?. Since the publication of the first edition, important new works have appeared and this new scholarship has been incorporated into the text. ;

        Der Analog

        Ein nicht-euklidischer, im symbolischen Verstand authentischer alpinistischer Abenteuerroman

        by René Daumal, Claudio Rugafiori, H. J. Maxwell, Albrecht Fabri, H. J. Maxwell

        Der »Analog« ist ein Berg, der »Himmel und Erde verbindet«, höher als der Mount Everest – doch bisher unentdeckt. Theodor, der bei einer Zeitschrift für Paläontologie arbeitet, ist von der Existenz jedoch überzeugt. Ebenso wie Dr. Sogol, der sich mit ihm in Verbindung setzt, Alpinismus lehrt und die eigene Wohnung in einen Gebirgsweg verwandelt hat. Es findet sich schließlich eine ganze Gruppe von Abenteuerlustigen zusammen, die die Sinnsuche zum Berg treibt. Sie rüsten ein Schiff aus, die »Impossible«, und begeben sich zu jener von niemandem je gesehenen Landmasse. Tatsächlich gelangt die Reisegruppe zum Berg, doch der Aufstieg konfrontiert sie mit unerwarteten Mühen. Der Weg zum Gipfel ist gleichsam ein innerer und die Annäherung an eine höhere Weisheit. Der erste Roman René Daumals, eines Autors, der in Rausch und Nahtoderfahrung Erkenntnis suchte, hieß Das Große Besäufnis. Seinen zweiten Roman, Der Analog, beschrieb er selbst als das Gegenstück, als »Ausblick in eine Welt, in der es das Wahre, Gute, Schöne gibt.« Daumal verlässt 1940 mit seiner jüdischen Ehefrau Vera Milanova das von der deutschen Wehrmacht besetzte Paris. Nach Stationen in den Pyrenäen und Marseille, lässt sich das Paar 1943 in den Alpen nieder, wo Daumal die Arbeit am Analog fortsetzt. Der Analog muss jedoch unvollendet bleiben und erscheint posthum. Der Autor stirbt mit 36 Jahren in Folge einer Tuberkulose Erkrankung und sein Roman schließt mit einem Komma. Der Leser also muss die letzten Schritte zum hoffnungsfrohen Ausblick eigenständig erklimmen.

        Eternal light and earthly concerns

        Belief and the shaping of medieval society

        by Paul Fouracre

        In early Christianity it was established that every church should have a light burning on the altar at all times. In this unique study, Eternal light and earthly concerns, looks at the material and social consequences of maintaining these 'eternal' lights. It investigates how the cost of lighting was met across western Europe throughout the whole of the Middle Ages, revealing the social organisation that was built up around maintaining the lights in the belief that burning them reduced the time spent in Purgatory. When that belief collapsed in the Reformation the eternal lights were summarily extinguished. The history of the lights thus offers not only a new account of change in medieval Europe, but also a sustained examination of the relationship between materiality and belief.

        Travellers in Africa

        British travelogues, 1850-1900

        by Timothy Youngs

        Works of travel have been the subject of increasingly sophisticated studies in recent years. This book undermines the conviction with which nineteenth-century British writers talked about darkest Africa. It places the works of travel within the rapidly developing dynamic of Victorian imperialism. Images of Abyssinia and the means of communicating those images changed in response to social developments in Britain. As bourgeois values became increasingly important in the nineteenth century and technology advanced, the distance between the consumer and the product were justified by the scorn of African ways of eating. The book argues that the ambiguities and ambivalence of the travellers are revealed in their relation to a range of objects and commodities mentioned in narratives. For instance, beads occupy the dual role of currency and commodity. The book deals with Henry Morton Stanley's expedition to relieve Emin Pasha, and attempts to prove that racial representations are in large part determined by the cultural conditions of the traveller's society. By looking at Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, it argues that the text is best read as what it purports to be: a kind of travel narrative. Only when it is seen as such and is regarded in the context of the fin de siecle can one begin to appreciate both the extent and the limitations of Conrad's innovativeness.

        Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation

        Passengers, pilots, publicity

        by Gordon Pirie, Andrew Thompson, John Mackenzie

        The new activity of trans-continental civil flying in the 1930s is a useful vantage point for viewing the extension of British imperial attitudes and practices. Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation examines the experiences of those (mostly men) who flew solo or with a companion (racing or for leisure), who were airline passengers (doing colonial administration, business or research), or who flew as civilian air and ground crews. For airborne elites, flying was a modern and often enviable way of managing, using and experiencing empire. On the ground, aviation was a device for asserting old empire: adventure and modernity were accompanied by supremacism. At the time, however, British civil imperial flying was presented romantically in books, magazines and exhibitions. Eighty years on, imperial flying is still remembered, reproduced and re-enacted in caricature. ;

        Old Fortunatus

        By Thomas Dekker

        by David McInnis

        With its fantasy of magical travel and inexhaustible riches, Thomas Dekker's Old Fortunatus is the quintessential early modern journeying play. The adventures of Fortunatus and his sons, aided by a magical purse and wishing-hat, offers the period's most overt celebration of the pleasures of travel, as well as a sustained critique of the dangers of intemperance and prodigality. Written following a period of financial difficulty for Dekker, the play is also notable for its fascination with the symbolic, mercantile and ethical uses of gold. This Revels Plays edition is the first fully annotated, single-volume critical edition of Old Fortunatus. It offers scholarly discussion of the play's performance and textual history, including attention to the German version printed and performed in the early seventeenth century. It provides a long overdue critical reappraisal of this unjustly neglected play.
