Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2005Amy Tan
by Bella Adams, John Thieme
This is the most comprehensive study to date of Amy Tan's work. It offers close readings of her texts in the context of broader debates about the representation of identity, history and reality. In contrast with Tan's own American-born narrators, and mainstream critics, Bella Adams's study looks beyond the stereotypes which appear in Tan's books, and explores the ways in which Chinese immigrants and their American relatives struggle to understand each others 'best qualities' via the Chinese tradition of the 'talk story'. She emphasises Tan's American narrators' process of becoming Chinese and discovering 'real China', and the significance of the ironic staging of these moments. Students will find this study both accessible and probing, and scholars will welcome its contribution to our understanding of a significant figure in contemporary literature. ;

September 1995Das steinerne Brautbett
Roman
by Harry Mulisch, Gregor Seferens
Zwölf Jahre nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg fährt Norman Corinth zu einem Kongreß in das zerstörte Dresden. Begegnungen und Auseinandersetzungen stürzen den Amerikaner, der als Mitglied einer Bomberbesatzung an dem schicksalhaften Angriff auf Dresden beteiligt war, in Verwirrung. Noch einmal erlebt Corinth Anflug und Abschuß des Bombers – bis sich die Krise in einem Heilschlaf löst. Mit diesem Prosadrama einer vorübergehenden, heilsamen Selbstentfremdung ist Harry Mulisch (geboren 1927) bereit 1959 ein Kriegsbruch gelungen, das die Schuldaufrechnung der ehemaligen Kriegsgegner furchtlos beiseite räumt, um eine Begegnung mit den Leiden und Schmerzen des Kriegs zu ermöglichen.

December 2008Truman Capote für Boshafte
by Truman Capote, Ulrike Seyer
"Die junge Generation hat auch heute Respekt vor dem Alter, allerdings nur noch beim Wein, beim Whisky und bei den Möbeln." Norman Mailer bezeichnete Truman Capote als „vollkommensten Schriftsteller meiner Generation“: „Bissig wie meine Großtante schreibt er die besten Sätze, Wort für Wort, Takt für Takt.“ Und Tennessee Williams ergänzt: "Er ist eine entzückend lasterhafte alte Dame." Die besten Aussprüche und Boshaftigkeiten aus Truman Capotes Werk sind in diesem Band versammelt.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2013The Black Death
by Rosemary Horrox
This series provides texts central to medieval studies courses and focuses upon the diverse cultural, social and political conditions that affected the functioning of all levels of medieval society. Translations are accompanied by introductory and explanatory material and each volume includes a comprehensive guide to the sources' interpretation, including discussion of critical linguistic problems and an assessment of recent research on the topics covered. From 1348 to 1350 Europe was devastated by an epidemic that left between a third and one half of the population dead. This source book traces, through contemporary writings, the calamitous impact of the Black Death in Europe, with a particular emphasis on its spread across England from 1348 to 1349. Rosemary Horrox surveys contemporary attempts to explain the plague, which was universally regarded as an expression of divine vengeance for the sins of humankind. Moralists all had their particular targets for criticism. However, this emphasis on divine chastisement did not preclude attempts to explain the plague in medical or scientific terms. Also, there was a widespread belief that human agencies had been involved, and such scapegoats as foreigners, the poor and Jews were all accused of poisoning wells. The final section of the book charts the social and psychological impact of the plague, and its effect on the late-medieval economy.
