July 1986Stine
Roman
by Theodor Fontane, Peter Demetz
In sechszehn szenisch gestalteten Kapiteln erzählt Fontane vor dem Hintergrund des zeitgenössischen, von volkstümlicher Atmosphäre und Dialekt gekennzeichneten Berlin die Geschichte des Grafen Waldemar und der Näherin Stine Rehbein. Der Standeskonflikt steht im Mittelpunkt der turbulenten Handlung, die sich dramatisch entwickelt und mit dem Selbstmord des Grafen endet, dem es unmöglich ist, diese Liebesbeziehung als »Sommerspiel« zu sehen. Doch auch Stine wird nach Waldemars Begräbnis, vom Fieber gepackt, ihn nicht lange überleben.

The ArtsJune 2017Terence Fisher
by Peter Hutchings
Terence Fisher is best known as the director who made most of the classic Hammer horrors - including The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula and The Devil Rides Out. But there is more to Terence Fisher than Hammer horror. In a busy twenty-five-year career, he directed fifty films, not just horrors but also thrillers, comedies, melodramas and science-fiction. This book offers an appreciation of all of Fisher's films and also gives a sense of his place in British film history. Looking at Fisher's career as a whole not only underlines his importance as a film-maker but also casts a new, interesting light on the areas in which he worked - Gainsborough melodrama, the 1950s B film, 1960s science-fiction and, of course, Hammer, one of the most successful independent film companies in the history of British cinema.

It’s a misnomer to presume that humans are distinguished by tool use and conscious capacity. So where is culture initiated? The biologist Peter-René Becker has evaluated numerous studies and cites plenty of evidence for the use of the hammer and anvil, lances, bait or sponges. Animals also use “tools as social implements”. Ultimately, the depth of man’s conscience singles him out from other animals.
