June 2006Nachbrenner
Zur Evolution und Funktion des Spektakels
by Thomas Raab
Thomas Raab analysiert die Entertainmentindustrie aus ungewohnter Perspektive: nicht als Verfallsform früherer Hochkultur, sondern als notwendige Folge der biologischen Ausstattung des Menschen einerseits sowie der ökonomischen Entwicklung andererseits. Seine empirische Suche nach der evolutionären "Basis der Massenästhetik" führt ihn von der literarischen Bestandsaufnahme einer Casting-Show über zahlreiche Selbst- und Kleinkindbeobachtungen bis zu den Reaktionen seiner Katze auf Hundegeheul.

September 1975The Best of H. C. Artmann
by H. C. Artmann, Klaus Reichert
Von allen deutschen Autoren, die nach 1945 zu schreiben begannen, ist Artmann ohne jeden Zweifel der vielseitigste, originellste und erfinderischste. So wie Artmann in fast allen Gattungen gearbeitet hat, auch den angeblich antiquierten, und ohne sich um die Tagesparolen der mal reine Dichtung betreibenden, mal engagierten, mal die Literatur totsagenden Kollegen zu kümmern, so hat er seine Quellen, seine Herkunft überall: in der Artusepik, in barocker Schäferpoesie, in den Wörterbüchern und Grammatiken von gut zwei Dutzend Sprachen, in Irland und im England des Sherlock Holmes, bei Villon und dem Wiener Vorstadtdialekt, Lorca, Gomez de la Serna, den Surrealisten und Dadaisten, in den Detektivheftchen der 20er Jahre und den Comic strips von damals bis heute. Unsere Auswahl versucht, nicht nur einen repräsentativen Querschnitt durch das Werk Artmanns zu geben, sondern gleichzeitig Verstreutes, an entlegensten Orten Publiziertes zu sammeln.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2026Translating hell
Vernacular theology and apocrypha in the medieval North Sea
by Stephen C. E. Hopkins
In the Middle Ages, hell was useful because it was vaguely defined. Canonical scriptures scarcely mention hell, leaving much to the imaginations of early Christians, who used it to sort out who belonged within the faith. This book explores how hell became a place for literary experiments with local challenges in theology and identity. Following the reception and transformations of two popular hell apocrypha, it argues that they served as this role because of their liminal textual authority. As noncanonical scriptures, apocrypha afforded medieval writers space to revise their hells (since they were not actually scripture), while also encouraging readers to revere those experiments as valid (since they seemed like scripture). The book brings together adaptations from early medieval England, Iceland, Ireland, and Wales, placing the early vernacular theologies of the North Sea in comparative conversation.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013The Papal Reform of the Eleventh Century
Lives of Pope Leo IX and Pope Gregory VII
by I. Robinson
The eleventh-century papal reform transformed western European Church and society and permanently altered the relations of Church and State in the west. The reform was inaugurated by Pope Leo IX (1048-54) and given a controversial change of direction by Pope Gregory VII (1073-85). This book contains the earliest biographies of both popes, presented here for the first time in English translation with detailed commentaries. The biographers of Leo IX were inspired by his universally acknowledged sanctity, whereas the biographers of Gregory VII wrote to defend his reputation against the hostility generated by his reforming methods and his conflict with King Henry IV. Also included is a translation of Book to a Friend, written by Bishop Bonizo of Sutri soon after the death of Gregory VII, as well as an extract from the violently anti-Gregorian polemic of Bishop Benzo of Alba (1085) and the short biography of Leo IX composed in the papal curia in the 1090s by Bishop Bruno of Segni. These fascinating narrative sources bear witness to the startling impact of the papal reform and of the 'Investiture Contest', the conflict of empire and papacy that was one of its consequences. An essential collection of translated texts for students of medieval history.

April 2022Corona Chaos. Confessions from a pharmacist
by Simon Krivec
More than two years of pandemic is more than two years of corona clutter. Only a staggering level of helpfulness, improvisation and flexibility prevented the healthcare system from collapsing completely. In this highly topical book, pharmacist Simon Krivec tells of his incredible experiences and the stormy ups and downs of pandemic madness, missing masks and disinfectants, and the feeling of having been totally abandoned by a helpless state. We learn, for instance, of the short-term procurement of large quantities of ethanol and the transportation of the highly flammable substance, and just what lured the author – and 71,400 euros in cash – to visit the port of Neuss at night.

April 2021Pippins Tochters Taschentuch
Roman
by Rosmarie Waldrop, Ann Cotten, Ben Lerner
Hätten Josef und Frederika Seifert mal besser nicht geheiratet!? Der Ort ist Kitzingen am Main, es sind die späten Zwanziger. Josef ist Kriegsveteran und Lehrer, sehr ins Metaphysische entrückt, Frederika rasend frustrierte Sängerin, rasend frustrierte femme fatale, die, unfähig zu den spirituellen Sublimationen ihres Mannes, bereits wenige Wochen nach der Trauung eine Affäre mit seinem besten Freund beginnt. Ist dieser Seitensprung an allem schuld, was folgen wird? Das fragt – ein halbes Jahrhundert später – Lucy, die älteste Tochter, in Briefen an ihre Schwester (oder ist es ihre Halbschwester?). Hätte ihre Mutter nur ein Machtwort sprechen müssen, was die Musik Richard Wagners angeht, damit sich alles ganz anders entwickelt? Und hat der Umstand, dass Frederikas Liebhaber Jude war, Josefs Faszination für den Nationalsozialismus weiter entfacht? Rosmarie Waldrop hat einen agilen, feinsinnigen und derben Roman geschrieben. Über eine marode Familie im anschwellenden Nationalsozialismus. Über Sehnsüchte, Enttäuschungen und Verrat. Über kleine Ursachen und große Wirkungen. Und über die beharrliche Ambivalenz einer nicht wirklich zu bewältigenden Vergangenheit.

January 2022Das Meckertier
by Mareike Postel / Ann Cathrin Raab
The Grumbly‘The Grumbly’ is in a bad mood! It doesn't like to play or laugh and can't be happy about anything - instead it grumbles on and on. But lastly, it looks for a cozy place and falls asleep. Lo and behold, the next morning ‘The Grumbly” has turned into a real happy-go-lucky animal!The board book series on classic everyday topics, in this case: bad moods that have no particular reason. The topic ‘Being grumbly’ is implemented with a lot of humor and without a ‘raised forefinger’, not intentionally pedagogical. Also told in rhyme and focusing on a goat, a familiar animal. The message becomes clear: Everyone has a bad day and is tired sometimes - but you can be sure: it passes!
