In Buenos Aires blühte seit jeher das kulturelle Leben. Hier lebten nicht nur Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, der Tangokönig Carlos Gardel und Diego Maradona, hier logierten Ana Pavlova und Manuel de Falla im ersten Hotel der Stadt, die Großen der Opernwelt – Caruso, Karajan, Toscanini, Callas – gastierten am Teatro Colón, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry entwarf seinen Vol de nuit in einem der ersten Hochhäuser der Stadt und Federico García Lorca war monatelang die Attraktion der Theaterwelt. Sieglinde Oehrlein führt den Leser auf den Spuren dieser und anderer Persönlichkeiten durch die Stadt und an so manche versteckte Orte, an die es normalerweise keinen Touristen verschlägt.

Cancer patients often suffer from malnutrition. Not only do they lack energy-providing macronutrients such as protein, fats and carbohydrates, they particularly lack the micronutrients that regulate the metabolism. Micronutrients such as vitamin D, selenium, L-carnitine, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin C significantly contribute to supporting the immune system of cancer patients, reducing inflammatory processes, alleviating the side effects of cancer therapy, and improving their quality of life. This patient guide provides information about the relationship between cancer, malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, the influence of cancer therapeutics on micronutrient balance, and how cancer patients can support their therapy and improve their quality of life with a controlled intake of micronutrient

Milde Septembertage in Paris: Nach fast dreißig Jahren kehrt Eric zurück in die Stadt, von der er einmal gehofft hatte, sie würde ihm die Erfüllung bringen. Statt dessen brachten ihn die Tage mit Claudine an den Rand der Verzweiflung – Claudine mit ihren hellen, fast weißblonden Haaren, die Hände in den Taschen ihres grünen Mantels vergraben. Jetzt scheint eine Wiederbegegnung möglich. Und es stellt sich die Frage, ob »einer nicht genauso aus dem besteht, was er nicht gelebt hat, wie aus dem, was durch Zufall seine Wirklichkeit geworden ist«. -- Mit Zeichnungen von Nanne Meyer.

Als Junge träumt Silvio Astier davon, edler Bandit zu werden, verworfener Dichter oder aber großer Erfinder. An der erniedrigenden Existenz im Vorort von Buenos Aires jedoch prallt sein Lebensdrang immer wieder ab. Als er sich um alle Möglichkeiten betrogen sieht, treibt er sein Leben durch den Verrat eines Kumpels auf die Spitze: eine Selbstrettung durch das Böse. Erbittert unharmonischer Entwicklungsroman, der den Furor des Lebendigseins feiert; harscher Schnitt in eine soziale Randwirklichkeit in einer expressiven, radikal subjektiven Sprache – das ist Das böse Spielzeug von 1926, womit der literarische Außenseiter Roberto Arlt (1900–1942) den südamerikanischen Roman revolutionierte: auf verstörende Art lebendig bis heute.

The Russian Revolution of 1917 was not just a world-historical event in its own right, but also struck powerful blows against racism and imperialism, and so inspired many black radicals internationally. This edited collection explores the implications of the creation of the Soviet Union and the Communist International for black and colonial liberation struggles across the African diaspora. It examines the critical intellectual influence of Marxism and Bolshevism on the current of revolutionary 'black internationalism' and analyses how 'Red October' was viewed within the contested articulations of different struggles against racism and colonialism. Challenging European-centred understandings of the Russian Revolution and the global left, The Red and the Black offers new insights on the relations between Communism, various lefts and anti-colonialisms across the Black Atlantic - including Garveyism and various other strands of Pan-Africanism. The volume makes a major and original intellectual contribution by making the relations between the Russian Revolution and the Black Atlantic central to debates on questions relating to racism, resistance and social change.

»Schriftsteller haben zwei Länder, eines, wohin sie gehören, und eines, in dem sie wirklich leben …, um darin frei zu sein.« Paris Frankreich ist eine beredte Liebeserklärung der Amerikanerin Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) an Paris, die Stadt ihrer Wahl, die »denjenigen von uns entsprach die die Kunst und Literatur des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts schaffen sollten«, und an das Land insgesamt. Sie beschäftigt sich mit der Hauptstadt ebenso wie mit dem ganzen Land - sowie mit ihren Befürchtungen angesichts des heraufziehenden Kriegs. Paris, France wurde an dem Tag veröffentlicht, als Paris vor den Deutschen kapitulierte, was Gertrude Steins leidenschaftlich vertretenem Selbstbetrug, der sie hatte behaupten lassen, einen (zweiten) Weltkrieg werde es nicht geben, den Garaus machte.

Despite the scholarship and political activism devoted to keeping the memory of the Paris Commune alive, there still remains much ignorance both in France and elsewhere, about the traumatic civil war of 1871; some 20,000 to 35,000 people were killed on the streets of Paris in just the final week of the conflict. Colette Wilson identifies a critical blind-spot in French studies and employs new critical approaches to neglected texts, marginalised aspects of the illustrated press, early photography and a selection of novels by Emile Zola. This book will be of interest to students and academics studying France in the nineteenth century from a number of different perspectives war and revolution studies, cultural studies, history and cultural memory, literature, art history, photography, the illustrated press, city studies and human geography. The book will appeal equally to all lovers of Paris who wish to know and understand more about the city's turbulent past. ;

This book examines how Ireland's relationship with the EU was affected by a succession of crises in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The financial crisis, the Brexit crisis and the migration crisis were not of equal significance on the island of Ireland. The financial crisis was a huge issue for the Republic but not Northern Ireland, Brexit had a major impact in both polities, the migration and populism issues were less controversial, while foreign policy challenges had a minimal impact. The book provides a summary of the main features of each of the crises to be considered, from both the EU and the Irish perspective. Ireland and the European Union is the first volume of its kind to provide a comprehensive analysis on British-Irish relations in the context of Brexit. It assesses the Withdrawal Agreement and Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, the devolution settlement and the 1998 Agreement, as well as the European dimension to Northern Ireland's peace process. The contributors explore a number of policy areas that are central to the understanding of each of the crises and the impact of each for Ireland. Chapters examine issues such as security, migration and taxation as well as protest politics, political parties, the media, public opinion and the economic impact of each of these crises on Ireland's relationship with the EU.

„Der Stoff, aus dem Cortázar diesen Labyrinth-Traum von einem wundersamen und herrlich gewitzten Buch knetet, ist fast bieder und einfach: Ein Boheme-Zirkel im Paris der fünfziger Jahre, Schriftsteller, Künstler, verkrachte Genies aus verschiedener Herren Länder und deren Freundinnen; Gespräche über Kultur und Philosophie, Liebe und Jazz. Der ›Klub der Schlange‹ wird von dem Mate trinkenden Oliveira, einem Argentinier, und seiner Freundin ›Maga‹ dominiert. Sie kommt aus Uruguay; für den geistig gespaltenen, zynischen Freund ist sie so etwas wie die Unschuld des Lebens, sinnliche Identität. Aber er verliert sie (wie, warum, ja, das müssen Sie schon lesen). Der Klub zerfällt, Maga verschwindet, und Oliveira, von der Polizei bei einem öffentlichen Sexualakt mit einer Clocharde ertappt, wird ausgewiesen. Zurück in Buenos Aires, trifft er seinen alten Freund Traveler wieder, in dessen Frau imaginiert er sich sehnsüchtig seine Maga. Zuerst im Zirkus beschäftigt, treffen wir die drei zuletzt als Bedienstete und Wärter eines privaten Irrenhauses und den immer tiefer in seine Wünsche verstrickten Oliveira schließlich als Patienten, der sich von einer Fensterbrüstung stürzt ...

The relationship between Germany and Russia is Europe's most important link with the largest country on the continent. But despite Germany's unparalleled knowledge and historical experience, its policymakers struggle to accept that Moscow's efforts to rebalance Europe at the cost of the cohesion of the EU and NATO are an attack on Germany's core interests. This book explains the scale of the challenge facing Germany in managing relations with a changing Russia. It analyses how successive German governments from 1991 to 2014 misread Russian intentions, until Angela Merkel sharply recalibrated German and EU policy towards Moscow. The book also examines what lies behind efforts to revise Merkel's bold policy shift, including attitudes inherited from the GDR and the role of Russian influence channels in Germany.

This is a study of Britain's presence in China both at its peak, and during its inter-war dissolution in the face of assertive Chinese nationalism and declining British diplomatic support. Using archival materials from China and records in Britain and the United States, the author paints a portrait of the traders, missionaries, businessmen, diplomats and settlers who constituted "Britain-in-China", challenging our understanding of British imperialism there. Bickers argues that the British presence in China was dominated by urban settlers whose primary allegiance lay not with any grand imperial design, but with their own communities and precarious livelihoods. This brought them into conflict not only with the Chinese population, but with the British imperial government. The book also analyzes the formation and maintenance of settler identities, and then investigates how the British state and its allies brought an end to the reign of freelance, settler imperialism on the China coast. At the same time, other British sectors, missionary and business, renegotiated their own relationship with their Chinese markets and the Chinese state and distanced themselves from the settler British.
