View Rights PortalDavid and Bathsheba presents a modernised edition of George Peele's explosive biblical drama about the tangled lives, deadly liaisons, and twisted histories of Ancient Israel's royal family. Martin's critical edition is the first modern single-volume edition of the play since 1912 and opens up this unduly neglected gem of English Renaissance drama to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the play's treatment of its biblical and poetic sources, its engagement with Elizabethan politics, and its forceful representations of religious fanaticism, genocide, and sexual violence. Its commentary notes clarify the text's meaning and staging, guide the reader through the play's dramatisation of the turbulent Davidic period of Ancient Israel's history, and place the play in its broader cultural and artistic milieu. Martin's edition aims to encourage new contemporary critical study of Peele's powerful and disturbing drama.
Der palästinensische Hochschullehrer und PLO-Diplomat Sari Nusseibeh, der im arabischen Teil Jerusalems aufwuchs, keine fünfzig Meter entfernt von dem Schriftsteller Amos Oz, in England studierte und nach dem Sechs-Tage-Krieg nach Hause zurückkehrte, ist ein Pendler zwischen den verfeindeten Seiten. In seiner Autobiographie erzählt er seine eigene Geschichte und die seines Volkes – und entwirft die Vision eines Landes, in dem Muslime, Juden und Christen harmonisch zusammenleben. „Ein feinsinniges, trauriges und humorvolles Erinnerungsbuch, das neues Licht auf die Tragödie des Israel-Palästina-Konflikts wirft, zugleich ein lebendiges Bild der palästinensischen Gesellschaft.“ Amos Oz
