February 2009Flann O’Brien für Boshafte
by Flann O’Brien, Harry Rowohlt, Anna Mikula
»Begreifen Sie meine List, meine doppelte Doppelzüngigkeit, mein Spiel mit der Ignoranz und der Leichtgläubigkeit! Ist es ein Wunder, daß ich die Banklaufbahn eingeschlagen habe?« »Auf das Fabulieren – und zwar in seiner grenzenlosesten Form – hat sich kaum ein Romancier so vortrefflich verstanden wie Flann O’Brien. Mit Aberwitz, einer Mischung aus Farce und Philosophie, skurril aufbereitetem Bildungsvorrat und jeder Menge wortseligen Unsinns hat er seine Bücher angefüllt.« (Der Spiegel) Anna Mikula hat die wunderbarsten Boshaftigkeiten und Spitzfindigkeiten aus dem Gesamtwerk Flann O’Briens ausgewählt und zu einer unterhaltsamen Lektüre zusammengestellt.

April 2022Corona Chaos. Confessions from a pharmacist
by Simon Krivec
More than two years of pandemic is more than two years of corona clutter. Only a staggering level of helpfulness, improvisation and flexibility prevented the healthcare system from collapsing completely. In this highly topical book, pharmacist Simon Krivec tells of his incredible experiences and the stormy ups and downs of pandemic madness, missing masks and disinfectants, and the feeling of having been totally abandoned by a helpless state. We learn, for instance, of the short-term procurement of large quantities of ethanol and the transportation of the highly flammable substance, and just what lured the author – and 71,400 euros in cash – to visit the port of Neuss at night.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013The Papal Reform of the Eleventh Century
Lives of Pope Leo IX and Pope Gregory VII
by I. Robinson
The eleventh-century papal reform transformed western European Church and society and permanently altered the relations of Church and State in the west. The reform was inaugurated by Pope Leo IX (1048-54) and given a controversial change of direction by Pope Gregory VII (1073-85). This book contains the earliest biographies of both popes, presented here for the first time in English translation with detailed commentaries. The biographers of Leo IX were inspired by his universally acknowledged sanctity, whereas the biographers of Gregory VII wrote to defend his reputation against the hostility generated by his reforming methods and his conflict with King Henry IV. Also included is a translation of Book to a Friend, written by Bishop Bonizo of Sutri soon after the death of Gregory VII, as well as an extract from the violently anti-Gregorian polemic of Bishop Benzo of Alba (1085) and the short biography of Leo IX composed in the papal curia in the 1090s by Bishop Bruno of Segni. These fascinating narrative sources bear witness to the startling impact of the papal reform and of the 'Investiture Contest', the conflict of empire and papacy that was one of its consequences. An essential collection of translated texts for students of medieval history.

The ArtsOctober 20174 saints in 3 acts
A snapshot of the American avant-garde in the 1930s
by Patricia Allmer, John Sears
Four Saints in Three Acts by Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson was a major avant-garde phenomenon of the 1930s, an experimental opera that nonetheless achieved remarkable popular success. Photography was a key element of that success, but its complex roles in the construction, representation and dissemination of the opera have hitherto received little critical attention. The photographic recording of the all-African American cast in particular affords a unique insight into the complexities of Four Saints in relation to the Harlem Renaissance and the New York avant-gardes of the time. This book, published in collaboration with The Photographers' Gallery, London, presents a wide selection of photographs of the cast, performances, and other material - many images reproduced for the first time - alongside essays by an international range of scholars exploring different aspects of the opera, including dance, fashion, music, and avant-garde writing, as well as photography.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2000Henry V
by James Loehlin
This study examines the profound changes that twentieth-century performance has wrought on Shakespeare's complex drama of war and politics. What was accepted at the turn of the century as a patriotic celebration of a national hero has emerged in the modern theatre as a dark and troubling analysis of the causes and costs of war. The book details the theatrical innovations and political insights that have turned one of Shakespeare's most traditional-bound plays into one of his most popular and provocative. Henry V gives details analyses of several important modern productions. Beginning with a consideration of the play's political significance in Elizabethan London, the book goes on the reveal its subsequent reinvention, both as patriotic pageant and anti-war manifesto. Individual chapters consider important productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company, and other British and North American companies, as well as the landmark film versions. A compelling account of the theatrical revolution that has transformed one of Shakespeare's most challenging plays. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2021The Massacre at Paris
By Christopher Marlowe
by Martin White, Mathew R. Martin
This volume presents a modernised edition of Christopher Marlowe's critical engagement with one of the bloodiest and traumatic episodes of the French Wars of Religion, the wholesale massacre of French Huguenots in Paris in August, 1572. Sensorily shocking and intellectually gripping, the play's dramatic action spans a tumultuous two decades in French history to unfold for its audience the tragic consequences of religious fanaticism, power politics, and dynastic rivalry. Comprehensively introduced and containing full commentary notes, this edition opens up this frequently neglected but historically significant and dramatically powerful play to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the history of the massacre, the play's treatment of its sources, the play's dramatisation of trauma, and the play's exploration of notions of religious toleration.

Heidelberger Poetikvorlesungen
by Patrick Roth
In diesen Poetikvorlesungen geht der Erzähler Patrick Roth nun seinem Schreiben auf den Grund. Ausgangspunkt ist ihm der Stoff, aus dem die Träume sind, die aus dem Unbewußten zugekommene »materia«, die er durch die Arbeit am literarischen Werk realisiert. Das Unbewußte mit dem Bewußten, das Numinose mit dem Individuellen, das Zeitlose mit dem ganz und gar Zeitlich-Alltäglichen in lebendige Beziehung zu setzen – das ist der Prozeß des Schreibens, dem hier mit poetischer Genauigkeit und Dichte nachgegangen wird.
