        Andy Warhol

        by Annette Spohn

        Vom Einwanderersohn zum Millionär, vom Grafiker zum Künstler, vom schüchternen Studenten zum Star der New Yorker Partyszene – das Leben von Andy Warhol ist eine Erfolgsgeschichte. Zu Recht gilt dieses Genie der Eigenvermarktung als einer der bedeutendsten Pop-Art-Künstler, dessen größtes Kunstwerk er selbst war: Andy Warhol ist Pop, und Pop ist Andy Warhol.

        Andy Warhol

        Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre

        by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Timothy Hunt, Svenja Becker

        Mit acht Jahren wurde Andy Warhol, der schon immer etwas bleicher aussah als alle anderen, sehr krank. Die lange Zeit im Bett vertrieb er sich mit Comicheften und er begann zu malen, aus Zeitungen schnitt er Fotos von Hollywoodstars und Gebrauchsgegenständen aus. Seine Kunstwerke zeigten häufig die alltäglichsten Dinge. Nicht allen gefiel das. Was für ein Künstler soll das sein, der die Dose einer Tomatensuppe gleich 32-mal auf dieselbe Leinwand malt. Heute ist Andy Warhol der erfolgreichste und bekannteste Pop-Art-Künstler seiner Zeit, weil er aus Alltäglichem Kunst gemacht hat. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

        Modernism and empire

        Writing and British coloniality, 1890–1940

        by Howard Booth, Nigel Rigby

        This is the first book to explore the relationship between literary modernism and the British Empire. Contributors look at works from the traditional modernist canon as well as extending the range of work addresses - particularly emphasising texts from the Empire. A key issue raised is whether modernism sprang from a crisis in the colonial system, which it sought to extend, or whether the modern movement was a more sophisticated form of cultural imperialism. The chapters in Modernism and empire show the importance of empire to modernism. Patrick Williams theorises modernism and empire; Rod Edmond discusses theories of degeneration in imperial and modernist discourse; Helen Carr examines Imagism and empire; Elleke Boehmer compares Leonard Woolf and Yeats; Janet Montefiore writes on Kipling and Orwell, C.L. Innes explores Yeats, Joyce and their implied audiences; Maire Ni Fhlathuin writes on Patrick Pearse and modernism; John Nash considers newspapers, imperialism and Ulysses; Howard J. Booth addresses D.H. Lawrence and otherness; Nigel Rigby discusses Sylvia Townsend Warner and sexuality in the Pacific; Mark Williams explores Mansfield and Maori culture; Abdulrazak Gurnah looks at Karen Blixen, Elspeth Huxley and settler writing; and Bill Ashcroft and John Salter take an inter-disciplinary approach to Australia and 'Modernism's Empire'. ;

        Bekenntnis einer Freundschaft

        by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Julia Schoch

        1941 schreibt Antoine de Saint-Exupéry seinem Jugendfreund Léon Werth einen fiktiven literarischen Brief, der 1955 in Deutschland unter dem Titel „Bekenntnis einer Freundschaft“ veröffentlicht wird. Saint-Exupéry erzählt Werth, der sich vor den Nazis verstecken muss, von seiner Odyssee als Flüchtling und seinen Erlebnissen in der Wüste. Sein Aufruf, sich wieder auf das „Wesentliche“ zu besinnen, ist ein literarisches Dokument der Freundschaft und Humanität. Dem Freund widmet Saint-Exupéry auch den „Kleinen Prinzen“: „Für Léon Werth, als er noch ein kleiner Junge war“.

        Malherbe, Théophile de Viau and Saint-Amant

        A selection

        by Mike Thompson, Richard G. Maber

        This volume offers a representative yet concise selection of the work of the seventeenth-century poets, Malherbe, de Viau and Saint-Amant. It also provides supporting documentation to bring out the unique literary personality of each, and to help make their poetry as accessible as possible to a modern reader. It is designed to fill the gap between scholarly complete editions and more general anthologies which are rarely able to devote much space to any one author. The present volume was prompted by the success that this poetry enjoyed with readers who were relative newcomers to French verse. ;

        The UN, human rights and post-conflict situations

        by Nigel White, Dirk Klaasen

        The United Nations is one of the largest providers of assistance in post-conflict situations in the world. This book considers the human rights standards applicable to the United Nations and applied by the United Nations in post-conflict situations, including East Timor, Kosovo and Afghanistan. It looks at legal principles, peace agreements, support of democracy, human rights protection, development and other forms of reconstruction with which the UN has become involved, including the grandly-named task of "state-building". It deals both with the obligation upon the UN to respect human rights in post-conflict situations, and the obligation upon the UN to ensure that human rights are respected by those in positions of power in post-conflict situations. Written by an internationally renowned list of contributors, this book will be of vital use to anyone studying conflict analysis, international relations, international law and the role of the United Nations on the world stage. ;
