        Giacomo Joyce

        by James Joyce, Richard Ellmann, Klaus Reichert, Fritz Senn

        »Joyce, Sie wissen doch, dieser irische Gigant … Der Zeitpunkt liegt so um 1909 herum. Da lebte der wortgewaltige Romancier in Triest und fristete sein Leben mühsam mit Sprachunterricht. Ja, und da hatte er eine Affäre mit einer Schülerin, kindjung anscheinend, doch von überzeugender Weiblichkeit. Ihr zuliebe schrieb er eben jenes Novellchen. Es steht alles drin, was einem reifen Mann passiert, wenn er sich vergißt. Und es ist eine Poesie, in eine feine Lieblichkeit eingefangen, wie sie nur Joyce vermag, wenn er verliebt ist.« – Werner Helwig

        The reign of Richard II

        From minority to tyranny 1377–97

        by Alison McHardy

        The long-awaited prequel to Chronicles of the revolution covers the first twenty years (1377-97) of Richard II's reign. This richly-documented period offers exceptional opportunities and challenges to students, and the editor has selected material from a wide range of sources: well-known English chronicles, foreign chronicles and legal, administrative and financial records. These are arranged chronologically to form a coherent narrative of the reign. Clear and lively commentary and notes enable readers to make the fullest use of each document. The introduction describes the complex domestic and international situation which confronted the young king and offers guidance on the strengths and weaknesses of the reign's leading chronicles. The dramatic and diverse politics of the reign of Richard II make this the ideal special subject and an accessible, affordable, student-friendly documentary history of Richard II's reign has long been needed. This book is designed to fill that gap.

        Das Wiesenhaus

        Erzählung

        by Christoph Schmitz

        Im Körper von Johannes Schneider regiert der Krebs. Auch wenn seine Familie sich rührend kümmert, es besteht wenig Hoffnung. Er fürchtet sich vor dem, was kommt, und davor, daß nichts bleibt von ihm und seinem Leben. Im Schreiben geht er gegen die Angst und das Vergessen an und träumt sich zurück in seine Kindheit im Rheinischen, an einen geradezu mythischen Ort - ins Wiesenhaus. Hier blüht das Leben wie die Landschaft. Doch bringt der Blick zurück auch Verdrängtes ans Licht, unerwartet bekommt das Familienidyll erste Risse. Langsam, aber sicher schreibt Schneider sich voran, hin zur Wahrheit darüber, was damals wirklich geschah und wie er zu dem wurde, der er heute ist. Mit großer Empathie erzählt Christoph Schmitz von einem Mann, der sich erinnert, um eine Zukunft zu haben.

        The works of Richard Edwards

        Politics, poetry and performance in sixteenth century England

        by Paul Edmondson, Rosalind King, Martin White

        The heart of this book is its fully annotated, critical editions of the surviving work of Richard Edwards, one of the most influential poets and dramatists writing in England before Shakespeare. Ros King's extensive introduction, identifying the holes in the documentary evidence that might accommodate this important but now little known writer, rewrites the history of pre-Shakespearean drama, illustrates new approaches to sixteenth-century prosody and to the modernisation of dramatic poetry, and re-evaluates the public role of theatre and poetry during a particularly turbulent period in English history. While it will be essential reading for specialist scholars, it will also be of much wider interest. The introduction is highly accessible which makes it an appropriate text-book for students in a field where few textbooks are available. It will appeal to the current appetite among the reading public for biography, while the play, poems and songs are themselves very appealing. ;

        US diplomacy and the Good Friday Agreement in post-conflict Northern Ireland

        by Richard Hargy

        Richard Haass and Mitchell Reiss, as autonomous diplomats in the George W. Bush State Department, were able to alter US intervention in Northern Ireland and play critical roles in the post-1998 peace process. Their contributions have not been fully appreciated or understood. The restoration of Northern Ireland's power-sharing government in 2007 was made possible by State Department-led intervention in the peace process. There are few references to Northern Ireland in work examining the foreign policy legacy of the George W. Bush presidency. Moreover, the ability to control US foreign policy towards the region brought one of George W. Bush's Northern Ireland special envoys into direct diplomatic conflict with the most senior actors inside the British government. This book will uncover the extent of this fall-out and provide original accounts on how diplomatic relations between these old allies became so fraught.

        PRAISE FOR LONG-TERM LOVE – WHY IT SUCCEEDS AND IS IRREPLACEABLE

        by Werner Bartens

        Couples in the early stages of a relationship have countless guides to choose from. But what about those who have been together for a while or for a really long time? A long relationship always gives rise to questions – regardless of whether the partners are in their thirties, forties or fifties. Around two thirds of all couples are uncertain about their relationship, and question – either openly or secretly – whether they want to carry on like this. Dr Werner Bartens says that those who give up on a long-standing relationship are giving up on a treasure trove of shared experiences and trust that the couple has built up over the years. Research has shown that those who are in a relationship are healthier and happier and, in contrast to what singles might think, have a lot more sex. But a long relationship is also demanding - Werner Bartens explains what matters in a proper relationship, regardless of age. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have butterflies in your tummy – in fact, it’s better, says Bartens, because you will feel as happy in your long relationship as you felt at the beginning of it. Relationship guides almost always address couples who have recently got together. But what about the many couples who look at their relationships after years and find themselves dissatisfied? Finally, a relationship book for couples who have been together for a while. You ask yourself: is this just the way it is, or can I change things? Can I revitalise our partnership? Doctor and publicist Werner Bartens has written a book that really helps people in this situation.

        Nofretete/Das Rad des Glücks/Mutter Sprache

        by Werner Fritsch

        Mehr als drei Jahrtausende greift Werner Fritsch in seinem neuen Stück zurück und gibt der legendären ägyptischen Königin klangvolle Stimme und tragische Gestalt. In der Grabkammer ihres jüngst verstorbenen Königsgemahls Echnaton erinnert sie ein bewegtes und gefährdetes Leben im Bannkreis der Macht. Echnaton, Dichterfürst und Religionsgründer, hatte mit Gewalt den Monotheismus in Ägypten eingeführt. Nun, nach seinem Tode, drohen die Verhältnisse zu kippen und die alte, mafiöse Priesterkaste wieder die Oberhand zu gewinnen. Seine Nofretete, so Werner Fritsch, „soll zwischen den Zeiten pendeln, aus der Gegenwart zurück in die Vergangenheit, die immer mehr zur Metapher der Gegenwart wird“.
