        Gedanken über die Lebenskunst

        by Giacomo Casanova, Eckart Kleßmann, Eckart Kleßmann

        El coronel no tiene quien le escriba

        by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Giovanni Pontiero

        Gabriel García Márquez has been described as the greatest writer in Spanish since Cervantes, and El coronel no tiene quien le escriba is considered to be one of his best works. This reflective and atmospheric novel is set in a small Colombian town where the frustrated and stubborn Colonel, a veteran of the 'War of a Thousand Days', is still, after thirty years, waiting for the letter authorising payment of his war pension. The old soldier and his wife mourn the brutal killing of their only son, and the story of their struggle against poverty and sickness culminates in the Colonel's defiant refusal to part with his cherished fighting cock, however serious the consequences. The moving narrative pays tribute to the resilience of human nature and man's will to survive in the face of heavy odds. The novel also throws light on the turbulent religious and political troubles in Latin America. Now revised to include an updated chronology and bibliography, Giovanni Pontiero's acclaimed critical edition provides English-speaking students with an introduction to, and notes on the text, and a selected vocabulary. ;

        Essen als ob nicht

        Gastrosophische Modelle

        by Daniele Dell'Agli

        Essen – als ob nicht: als ob es nicht darauf ankäme; als ob es egal wäre, was, wann und wie; nebenbei essen, zwischendurch, weil’s unbedingt sein muß, ohne Sinn und Verstand. Essen, als ob es das Gewöhnlichste und Niedrigste wäre, wofür das Billigste vom Discounter, aus der Kantine, vom Imbißstand gut genug ist; essen, als ob von der wichtigsten Regenerationsquelle für Leib und Seele nicht alles andere abhinge. – Die Autoren des Bandes untersuchen die diskursiven und materiellen Hintergründe der deutschen wie internationalen Eßkultur. Sie bieten Ansätze zu einem anderen, neuen Verständnis eines gerade wegen seiner Alltäglichkeit immer noch unterschätzten Phänomens und streiten für einen in Deutschland längst überfälligen gastrosophical turn. Mit Beiträgen von Jürgen Dollase, Harald Lemke, Daniele Dell’Agli, Martin Reuter, Claus-Dieter Rath u.a.

        The French empire at War, 1940–1945

        by Martin Thomas

        The French empire at war draws on original research in France and Britain to investigate the history of the divided French empire - the Vichy and the Free French empires - during the Second World War. What emerges is a fascinating story. While it is clear that both the Vichy and Free French colonial authorities were only rarely masters of their own destiny during the war, preservation of limited imperial control served them both in different ways. The Vichy government exploited the empire in an effort to withstand German-Italian pressure for concessions in metropolitan France and it was key to its claim to be more than the mouthpiece of a defeated nation. For Free France too, the empire acquired a political and symbolic importance which far outweighed its material significance to the Gaullist war effort. As the war progressed, the Vichy empire lost ground to that of the Free French, something which has often been attributed to the attraction of the Gaullist mystique and the spirit of resistance in the colonies. In this radical new interpretation, Thomas argues that it was neither of these. The course of the war itself, and the initiatives of the major combatant powers, played the greatest part in the rise of the Gaullist empire and the demise of Vichy colonial control.

        The French empire between the wars

        Imperialism, politics and society

        by Martin Thomas

        By considering the distinctiveness of the inter-war years as a discrete period of colonial change, this book addresses several larger issues, such as tracing the origins of decolonization in the rise of colonial nationalism, and a re-assessment of the impact of inter-war colonial rebellions in Africa, Syria and Indochina. The book also connects French theories of colonial governance to the lived experience of colonial rule in a period scarred by war and economic dislocation.
