The ArtsJanuary 2019The secret life of romantic comedy
by Celestino Deleyto
The secret life of romantic comedy offers a new approach to one of the most popular and resilient genres in the history of Hollywood. Steering away from the rigidity and ideological determinism of traditional accounts of the genre, this book advocates a more flexible theory, which allows the student to explore the presence of the genre in unexpected places, extending the concept to encompass films that are not usually considered romantic comedies. Combining theory with detailed analyses of a selection of films, including To Be or Not to Be (1942), Rear Window (1954), Kiss Me Stupid (1964), Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989) and Before Sunset (2004), the book aims to provide a practical framework for the exploration of a key area of contemporary experience - intimate matters - through one of its most powerful filmic representations: the genre of romantic comedy. Original and entertaining, The secret life of romantic comedy is perfect for students and academics of film and film genre.

1969-70
by Neil Storey
The second volume of this highly collectable series, covering the pivotal years of 1969-70. The Island Book of Records Volume II documents the years 1969-70, during which Island sought to build on its success with the Spencer Davis Group by seeking out new British rock talent. By the end of the period, Island was emerging as a major British label, one that could boast releases from Jethro Tull, Nick Drake, King Crimson, John and Beverley Martyn, Fairport Convention and Cat Stevens. Featuring material from recent interviews and from media interviews of the time, and including a comprehensive discography of 45s, The Island Book of Records Volume II is lavishly illustrated with gig adverts (very many at venues that no longer exist), concert tickets, flyers, international LP variants, labels, LP and 45 adverts and other ephemera collector's dream.

by Rüdiger Bertram/ Heribert Schulmeyer
Juli can’t wait for the holidays. His cousin Jenny and he can once more go to her uncle’s Superhero Hotel. Maybe the next superhero adventure will be awaiting them there? Indeed it is: the evil Snakeman has created an army of mutated giant rabbits, whose underground tunnels threaten one city after another with complete collapse. And as the real superheroes are still lazing around at the swimming pool, and Bruce suddenly has to go and defend the world against an alien invasion, it’s once more left to Juli and Jenny to prevent this disaster! Armed with nothing more than a cheap pair of X-ray laser glasses with which they can see through walls, doors and even people’s clothes (villains in underpants – not a pretty sight!). And while Juli is still asking “What on earth are we doing here?” he and Jenny find themselves in the middle of a crazy adventure that takes them all round the world – across the desert, through London, and on to Paris! Can Juli and Jenny stop the evil villain and his giant rabbits in time?

2024The second half of your life - a manual
Tips and strategies for successful ageing
by Dr. Petra Kiedaisch
In the middle of our lives, the cards are reshuffled: marriages are divorced, careers are questioned, friendships are ended, questions of meaning are asked, bodies change - and not just hormonally. At the same time, children leave home and parents become carers. From the age of 45, the majority of our population is at the centre of a second upheaval that affects all facets of our lives and leaves us at a loss in many ways. Not only in our daily lives, but also when it comes to planning for our own old age. This guide is designed to help us find our way. It presents the most important information from all areas relevant to a good life after 45. Leading experts from the fields of medicine, nutrition, philosophy, theology, psychology, care, law and finance give recommendations on what to look out for and what tools are needed to get through these challenging years unscathed. Useful checklists round off the articles. The book shows us the unique opportunity to see these challenges not as a crisis but as a source of strength. Not only can we come through this period of our lives healthy and happy, but we can also shape it so that the next age threshold is no longer frightening. During the second phase of adolescence, we lay the foundations for whether and how we will grow older. Be it in terms of health or living together with family and friends. With contributions from: Prof. Dr. Martin Gessmann (philosophy), Dipl. Psych. Claudia Kühner (psychology), Dr Suso Lederle (medicine), Dr Petra Forster (nutrition), Christian Hald, Anja Heine (law), Prof Dr Philipp Schreiber (finance), Prof Dr Thomas Klie (nursing care insurance), Georg Eberhardt (religion).

Familie Hackebart zu Besuch bei den Sauberbarts - Zum Selberlesen ab 10 Jahren oder zum Vorlesen für die ganze Familie
by Markus Orths, Horst Klein
Kennst du schon Familie Hackebart? Das kostbarste, was Walter Hackebart besitzt, ist eine seltene historische Klobürste. Abgesehen natürlich von seiner Frau Adrijana und den vier Kindern: Brooklyn, Zosch, Mönkemeier und Lulu. Als Walter das wertvolle Stück an den überaus reichen Grafen Sauberbart verkaufen will, wird die ganze Familie auf das gräfliche Schloss eingeladen. Aber oje, bei Sauberbarts herrscht strengste Etikette. Alles ist bis aufs Kleinste geregelt, und wer sich danebenbenimmt, muss in den Kerker. Wie lange halten die Hackebarts das aus, bis sie durchdrehen? Herrlich verrückte Familiengeschichte Wie sinnvoll sind eigentlich (Benimm-)Regeln ? Und welche Rechte haben Kinder? Die Hackebarts finden auf diese Fragen – wieder einmal – eine ganz eigene Antwort. Zum Selberlesen für Kinder ab 10 Jahren oder zum Vorlesen für die ganze Familie

March 2023Crazy Family (Band 1) - Die Hackebarts räumen ab!
Eine herrlich lustige Familiengeschichte zum Selberlesen ab 10 Jahren oder zum Vorlesen für die ganze Familie
by Markus Orths, Horst Klein
Kennen Sie Familie Hackebart? Die 13-jährige Brooklyn ist supervernünftig, Zosch, elf Jahre, leidenschaftlicher Sportler und Zocker (am liebsten Brawl Stars). Lulu ist mit sechs Jahren die Jüngste und hochbegabt und der achtjährige Mönkemeyer lebt ausschließlich für die Kunst – vor allem für die abstrakte Malerei des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. Als die Familie wegen eines „Malheurs“ Mönkemeyers im örtlichen Kunstmuseum in Geldnöte gerät, meldet Brooklyn alle zu einer Quizsendung im Fernsehen an. Werden die Hackebarts nun Millionäre? Die Chancen stehen gut. Schließlich hat man ja Lulu. Eine urkomische Familiengeschichte, erzählt von Markus Orths und kongenial illustriert von Horst Klein. Zum Vor-und Selberlesen, nicht nur für die Familienzeit abends auf dem Sofa.

May 2025»Ich kann allem widerstehen außer der Versuchung«
Kleine Bosheiten vom Meister der Bonmots
by Oscar Wilde, Christina Schenk, Denis Scheck, Denis Scheck, Christina Schenk
»Bosheit ist ein Mythos, den gute Menschen erfunden haben, um die seltsame Anziehungskraft der anderen zu erklären.« Bis heute, 125 Jahre nach seinem Tod, gehört Oscar Wilde zu den beliebtesten und meist zitierten Autoren – nicht zuletzt wegen seiner Spitzzüngigkeit und dem Scharfsinn seiner Beobachtungen. Ob sich seine Polemik gegen überflüssige Zeitungen oder schlechte Literatur richtet, gegen geistlose Frauen oder langweilige Männer, gegen scheinheilige Moralvorstellungen oder die Ignoranz der Unkultivierten – immer ist sie treffsicher, brillant formuliert und äußerst unterhaltsam. Mehr als pure Gehässigkeit, ist sie Ausdruck des künstlerischen Selbstverständnisses Wildes, seine Extravaganz gegen die Meinung der anderen zu leben und seine Kunst, die elegante Schönheit und kritischen Geist verbindet, über die gesellschaftlichen Konventionen stellen zu dürfen.
