        "I don't consider myself fundamentally as a professional. I'm basically an adventurer." (Orson Welles) My company is me, my friends, who give their opinion about my work, the authors who discuss about which cover to use for their work, and my dear ghost writers who have always accompanied me. Together with this group of people, I have achieved a catalog of titles of constant sale, that do not age, ranging from local and Latin American literature to personal improvement books; these are "longsellers" I never stop reprinting them. I like books and I venture into it.

        Jüdischer Almanach. Sport

        by Gisela Dachs

        Juden und Sport? Das klingt erst einmal nach einem fabelhaften jüdischen Witz! Dabei teilten Juden seit jeher in den meisten Ländern die Vorlieben und Leidenschaften ihrer nichtjüdischen Umgebung. Mit mehr oder weniger Erfolg natürlich. Sport diente als ein Mittel der Inklusion und Exklusion, war stets Gradmesser der Emanzipation, in der Diaspora wie später in Israel. »Der Jüdische Almanach 2011« widmet sich diesem Thema mit einem breitgefächerten Spektrum: Es geht unter anderem um den Mythos der biblischen Leibeskraft, um Max Nordaus Muskeljudentum, um Antisemitismus im deutschen Fußball, um den legendären österreichischen Club Hakoah Wien – und die Leidenschaft für Schach. Daneben stehen aber auch Fragen wie die, warum sich viele Israelis für die Bundesliga begeistern, die Tel Aviver unbedingt Joga betreiben müssen oder warum der arabische Fußballclub Sachnin so erfolgreich ist. Mit Beiträgen von Michael Brenner, Moshe Zimmermann, Dietrich Schulze-Marmeling, Daniel Wildman, John Efron, Chaim Kaufman, Yair Galili und vielen anderen.

        American film and politics from Reagan to Bush Jr

        by Philip Davies, Paul Wells

        Covers a crucial two decades in American history, when the links between Hollywood and Washington DC were at their strongest.. The period is 'book-ended' by the mighty political and cinematic figures of Reagan and Clinton.. Covers a period in which movies have become targets of political rhetoric of 'family values'.. Essays examine cinematic views of key American political institutions - the presidency and electoral process, politically significant places such as New York City and the American South, the promotion of major issues like gender, family and race. This is a subject which has gained new significance in the wake of recent terrorist attacks in New York and Washington DC, which have changed both the political climate, and the priorities of the movie industry. ;

        Hegel. Eine Vergegenwärtigung seines Denkens

        Kommentar zur »Phänomenologie des Geistes«

        by Alexandre Kojève, Iring Fetscher, Iring Fetscher, Gerhard Lehmbruch

        Kojèves Buch über Hegel gehört zu den provokativsten wie auch einflußreichsten Interpretationen der Hegelschen Philosophie im 20. Jahrhundert. Als Interpret Hegels versteht sich Kojève gleichzeitig als dessen Anhänger, überzeugt von der Wahrheit der Hegelschen Philosophie, die es in unserer Zeit zu »vergegenwärtigen« gelte.

        The Island Book of Records Volume III

        1971-72

        by Neil Storey

        The third in the acclaimed Island Book of Records series chronicles 1971-72, two years that saw the label secure a position at the forefront of contemporary music around the world. Major albums from Cat Stevens, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Jethro Tull brought international success. Traffic released their era-defining The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys and Island returned to its roots with the soundtrack to the most important Jamaican film of all time, The Harder They Come. Nick Drake's masterpieces Bryter Layter and Pink Moon were yet to find their audience, but a new sensation emerged as Roxy Music released their first LP. Meanwhile, Bob Marley & The Wailers were beginning to record Catch A Fire - the album that will be the first to be detailed in IBoR IV. Featuring material from recent interviews and comment of the time, and including a comprehensive discography of 45s, The Island Book of Records Volume III is lavishly illustrated with album art, gig adverts, tickets, flyers, international LP variants, rare photos, LP and 45 adverts and exclusive ephemera.

        Massacres in Early Modern Drama

        by Georgina Lucas

        Massacres in Early Modern Drama analyses the dynamically ambivalent meanings constructed by the language and action of massacre on the early modern stage. Informed by theories drawn from massacre studies, the monograph challenges orthodoxies about senseless violence, illuminates archaic forms of massacres, and attests to their brutally diverse stage representations. Anchored by the contention that the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre in Paris (1572) was instrumental to early modern understandings of massacre, the book uses this atrocity, and its most famous dramatic depiction - Christopher Marlowe's The Massacre at Paris - as a hook to explore larger concerns about massacre in plays by Robert Greene, George Chapman, John Fletcher, and William Shakespeare. Thus, Massacres in Early Modern Drama considers how early modern drama forms part of a continual cultural process of trying to piece together the contentious and traumatic phenomenon of massacre.

        by George Gordon Noël Lord Byron, Gert Ueding

        Der Band versammelt nicht nur Texte aus Byrons Werk, in denen das Bildnis des modernen Künstlers als Lord Byron eindringlich zum Ausdruck kommt, darunter besonders Tagebücher und Briefe, sondern auch Zeugnisse, die den Mythos »des wunderbarsten zu eigner Qual geborenen Talents« (Goethe) dokumentieren, also die Kultgestalt Europas, zu der dieser Dichter sich selbst gemacht hat und die als »Byronismus« seine Wirkung bestimmt bis heute.

        Georg Kreisler für Boshafte

        by Georg Kreisler, Georg Kreisler

        Musiker, Komponist, Kabarettist, Satiriker, Schriftsteller … Georg Kreisler ist ein Meister der Sprache und der literarischen Satire. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch seine makaber-grotesken Chansons. Seine Texte zeichnen sich durch hintergründigen, oftmals schwarzen Humor und kompromißlose Kritik an Gesellschaft und Politik aus. Für diesen Band hat er selbst eine Auswahl seiner boshaftesten Zitate zusammengestellt. Originell, satirisch und manchmal auch zweideutig, haben sie eines gemeinsam – sie sind das Werk eines sehr genauen Beobachters, der mit jedem Wort ins Schwarze trifft.
