        Carmen

        by Prosper Mérimée, Larissa Bertonasco, Kristian Wachinger

        Die Begegnung der stolzen und leidenschaftlichen Zigeunerin Carmen mit Don José, der ihr rettungslos verfällt und sie schließlich tötet: das ist einer der bekanntesten Stoffe der Weltliteratur und zugleich Vorlage für die erfolgreichste Oper aller Zeiten, »Carmen« von Georges Bizet. Zahlreiche Verfilmungen machten die Figur endgültig zum Mythos. Die meisterhafte Erzählung von Prosper Mérimée ist auch für den, der die Geschichte zu kennen glaubt, eine Entdeckung. In der schnörkellosen, modernen Übersetzung von Kristof Wachinger erstrahlt die widersprüchliche Figur der Carmen, ihre unbändige Freiheitsliebe, ihre Unerschrockenheit und ihr respektloser Witz, in einem neuen faszinierenden Licht. Die bekannte Illustratorin Larissa Bertonasco setzt die besten Szenen einfallsreich ins Bild.

        The penny politics of Victorian popular fiction

        by Rob Breton

        Penny politics offers a new way to read early Victorian popular fiction such as Jack Sheppard, Sweeney Todd, and The Mysteries of London. It locates forms of radical discourse in the popular literature that emerged simultaneously with Brittan's longest and most significant people's movement. It listens for echoes of Chartist fiction in popular fiction. The book rethinks the relationship between the popular and political, understanding that radical politics had popular appeal and that the lines separating a genuine radicalism from commercial success are complicated and never absolute. With archival work into Newgate calendars and Chartist periodicals, as well as media history and culture, it brings together histories of the popular and political so as to rewrite the radical canon.

        A grand strategy of peace

        Britain and the creation of the United Nations Organization, 1939-1945

        by Andrew Ehrhardt

        A grand strategy of peace is the first detailed account of Britain's role in the creation of the United Nations Organization during the Second World War. As a work of traditional diplomatic history that brings in elements of intellectual history, the book describes how British officials, diplomats, politicians, and writers - previously seen to be secondary actors to the United States in this period - thought about, planned for, and helped to establish a future international order. While in the present day, many scholars and analysts have returned to the origins of the post- 1945 international system, this book offers an exhaustive account of how the statesmen and more importantly, the officials working below the statesmen, actually conceived of and worked to establish a post-war world order.

        Europe on the move

        Refugees in the era of the Great War

        by Peter Gatrell, Liubov Zhvanko, Penny Summerfield

        Mass population displacement affected millions of Europe's civilians across the different theatres of war in 1914-18. At the end of the war, a senior Red Cross official wrote 'there were refugees everywhere. It was as if the entire world had to move or was waiting to move'. Europe on the move is the first attempt to understand their experiences as a whole and to establish the political, social and cultural significance and ramifications of the wartime refugee crisis. Drawing on original research by leading specialists from more than a dozen countries, it will become the definitive work on the subject and will appeal to anyone who wishes to understand how governments and public opinion responded to refugees a century ago.
