        Ilias. Odyssee

        by Homer, Johann Heinrich Voß

        Zu den ältesten und großartigsten Zeugnissen der griechischen und damit der abendländischen Literatur zählen die wohl im 8. vorchristlichen Jahrhundert entstandenen Dichtungen Homers: Ilias und Odyssee. Mit Recht können die beiden Epen des aus dem ionischen Teil Kleinasiens stammenden Dichters innerhalb der Weltliteratur als unsterblich bezeichnet werden.

        Odyssee

        by Homer, Johann Heinrich Voß

        Homers Odyssee, entstanden im achten Jahrhundert vor Christus, ist das zweitälteste Werk der griechischen und abendländischen Literatur. Das Epos beschreibt die abenteuerliche Irrfahrt und schließlich die glückliche Heimkehr des Königs Odysseus, der zwanzig Jahre zuvor auf griechischer Seite am Kampf um Troja teilgenommen hatte. Bereits in der Antike nahm die Odyssee eine überragende Stellung ein – und die Wirkung des Werkes auf die europäische Literatur- und Geistesgeschichte ist noch immer ungebrochen. Davon zeugen neben bedeutenden literarischen Werken wie etwa James Joyce’ Ulysses auch zahlreiche Verfilmungen.

        Die Odyssee

        Farbintensiv und ausdrucksvoll in Szene gesetzt vom Illustrator Burkhard Neie | Großformatige Sonderausgabe

        by Homer, Burkhard Neie, Matthias Reiner

        Die weltberühmte Geschichte einer Irrfahrt und Heimkehr »Ich bin Odysseus, Laertes‘ Sohn, und es reicht meine Kunde von mir bis zum Himmel.« Vor fast 3000 Jahren sind die vierundzwanzig Gesänge Homers mit über 12.000 Versen entstanden, die von der sagenhaften und schier endlosen Heimfahrt des trojanischen Kriegshelden Odysseus erzählen. Die Odyssee, seine jahrelange Irrfahrt über das Mittelmeer, seine Abenteuer bei den Lotophagen, der Zauberin Kirke, dem Kyklopen Polyphem und im Totenreich bis hin zur Heimkehr nach Ithaka zu seiner Ehefrau Penelope, ist eine der wirkungsmächtigsten Erzählungen der Weltliteratur. Der Band in der Insel-Bücherei erzählt die unglaublichen Abenteuer von Odysseus und seinen Kampf gegen die Freier, die sein Haus und seine Familie belagern. Und Burkhard Neie hat daraus mit seinen Illustrationen und seiner Gestaltung ein buchkünstlerisches Meisterwerk gemacht.

        Markets, rules and institutions of exchange

        None

        by Stan Metcalfe, Mark Harvey, Mark Harvey

        This book is about how to understand the huge variety of markets and market organisation in contemporary economies through a dialogue between a group of UK and French scholars. It presents a critique and development of institutional views of markets, and 'puts markets in their place' in a wider political and social context. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis in markets, the book makes a topical and significant contribution on the importance of the rules and regulations that constitute markets, and their broader political and legal frameworks. Moreover, the disruption of markets brings to the fore their interconnection with the broader economy, with production, distribution and consumption in a way often ignored at the height of market bubbles. Both theoretical and empirical, a wide range of markets are considered, capital markets for new technology and venture capital, for food, domestic services and scientific knowledge. The authors address how markets emerge and disappear, or indeed why they fail to appear, as well has how they become stable and institutionalised. ;

        The tragedy of the border

        Asylum, destitution and homelessness

        by Mark Rainey

        Amid the global migration crisis, the UK has created and increasingly hostile policy environment for asylum seekers that has pushed many into unnecessary hardship and homelessness. This volume is an ethnographic study alongside refused asylum seekers and refugees living destitute in Manchester, UK. Based on over three years of research in emergency night shelters and on the streets of the city, it draws on the stories and experiences of those who have been driven into destitution by an antagonistic immigration system. The book not only explores how legal and temporal uncertainty shapes the daily lives of those who have had their asylum claims refused, but also attends to the experiences of volunteers and activists working on the frontline of the crisis. While the work is rich in detail, it also extends outwards and offers new insights into our understanding of borders and the need to rethink the grand notions of justice and hospitality.

        Irish Home Rule

        by Alan O'Day, Mark Greengrass

        Irish Home Rule considers the pre-eminent issue in British politics during the late nineteenth and early twentieth-centuries. It is the first account to explain the various self-government plans, to place these in context and examine the motives for putting the schemes forward. The book distinguishes between moral and material home rulers, making the point that the first appealed especially to outsiders, some Protestants and the intelligentsia, who saw in self-government a means to reconcile Ireland's antagonistic traditions. In contrast, material home rulers viewed a Dublin Parliament as a forum of Catholic interests. This account appraises the home rule movement from a fresh angle, distinguishing it from the usual division drawn between physical force and constitutional nationalists It maintains that an ideological continuity runs from Young Ireland, the Fenians, the early home rulers including Isaac Butt and Charles Stewart Parnell, to the Gaelic Revivalists to the Men of 1916. These nationalists are distinguishable from material home rulers not on the basis of methods or strategy but by a fundamental ideological cleavage. ;
