        Greek Tragedy

        by Bernhard Zimmermann

        Whether in the theatre, in school or in college – there is no getting around Greek tragedy, and rightly so. Where are the origins of the genre and how do you imagine a performance at that time? Who were the great tragedians, and above all: What distinguishes their work? Bernhard Zimmermann portrays the genre of the genres in a concise and compact way – a small book not only for philologists, but also for friends of theatre and literature and especially for students and schoolchildren.

        Milestones of World Literature

        Von der Aufklärung bis in die Gegenwart

        by Dieter Lamping

        Which works contributed to the history of world literature? Which are worth reading (again)? What is it that turned them into ›milestones‹? The book traces the history of world literature from the Age of Enlightenment to the present day. It is guided by epochs, authors and their works: In 127 clear, structured portraits the central works and their authors are presented, interpreted and classified; the necessary context is provided by introductions to the epochs and genres to which the texts belong. Around 70 ›gray boxes‹ recapitulate central concepts and movements, show paths of influence and relationships.

        Profiles of German Cultural Epochs; Classical Age, Romanticism, Restauration 1798–1848

        Klassik Romantik, Restauration 1789–1848

        by Joachim Bark, Hans Christoph v. Nayhauss

        Such diverse tendencies as Weimar Classic, Romanticism, Biedermeier and Vormärz shaped the period between 1789 and 1848, combined with big names: of course Goethe and Schiller, Schinkel, the Schlegels, Caspar David Friedrich, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Ranke, Prince Pückler Muskau, Die Droste, Heine ... The editors present the epoch in clear and understandable language, point out contradictions and common roots; in the second part, the contemporaries themselves have their say – for an educational and enjoyable reading for everybody, who not only wants to read about the epoch, but also in it.

        Profiles of German Cultural Epochs: From Realism to Modernity 1849–1918

        Vom Realismus in die Moderne 1949–1918

        by Joachim Bark, Hans-Christoph v. Nayhauss

        Concise, factual, interdisciplinary – the aim of the series is to present German cultural epochs in clear, understandable language. The approach is interdisciplinary, at the same time it thrives on the interplay of introductions and original texts: literature, art, music, history, philosophy and theology show different manifestations of the epoch and illuminate one another; contemporaries have their own say in representative and momentous texts. Students of all humanities, but also teachers, high school students and anyone interested in culture receive an easily accessible yet comprehensive understanding of the turbulent times between 1848 and 1918.

        Shakespeares

        Die unendliche Vielfalt der Bilder

        by Ina Schabert

        Melancholy poet of "Hamlet"? Patriotic author of "Henry V"? Theatre practitioner with a literary genius as a ghostwriter? Wise fool or brilliant hero? The ideas of Shakespeare's personality are as varied as one would not expect from one of the greatest poets in world literature. The Shakespeare specialist Ina Schabert looks at the English national poet from various angles. She is expressly not only addressing experts, but the broad community of Shakespeare lovers.

        Briefe an Don Miguel de Cervantes 400 Jahre nach seinem Tod

        by Guillermo Aparicio

        On the 400th anniversary of Miguel de Cervantes' death, Guillermo Aparicio enters into an imaginary dialogue with the Spanish national poet. He gives us a real inside look at the ›Don Quixote‹, the book of books of Spain – and on the Spanish soul, because who has shaped whom here is anything but clear. For lovers of ›Don Quixote‹ and those who want to become one, for literary scholars and students of literature, but also for friends of Spain who want to immerse themselves in this country and its people. A reading pleasure.

        Rediscovering Michael Ende

        Was »Jim Knopf«, »Momo« und »Die unendliche Geschichte« Erwachsenen zu sagen haben

        by Hans-Heino Ewers

        Who hasn't devoured them in their youth, the great stories of "Jim Button and Luke the Enginedriver", "Momo" and the "Neverending Story"? Obviously, it is anything but self-evident that those are also books for adults, and they have not only lost none of their topicality, but have actually gained it. Anyone who follows the original re-readings of the well-known children's and young adult literature researcher Hans-Heino Ewers will be amazed that reading it again at a longer time brings to light a completely different work than what is remembered.
