        On the Move

        by Art studio Agrafka (Authors), Art studio Agrafka (Illustrators)

        The universe is always on the move: Nothing in it remains completely at rest. Movement is natural: The Earth, the water on it, the atmosphere, the continents, and all living organisms exist in a state of constant motion. We walk, run, jump, crawl, swim, and fly. We travel. This book is about movement and travel—not only by people, but also that of animals, plants, the wind, water, and our planet. It describes journeys for the purpose of trade and commerce, journeys for the purpose of pleasure and repose or for survival, as well as scientific expeditions and pilgrimages. It’s about migrations, maps, navigation, and, finally, about finding your own path. Travellers often hear questions associated with "where" and "where from:" "Where are you going?", "Where are you from?" This book is a visual and intellectual expedition through thousands of years of movement, in search of answers to these as well as many other questions related to movement.       From 6 to 9 years, 2896 words Rightsholders: Ivan Fedechko,  ivan.fedechko@starlev.com.ua

        Roman

        by Eleanor Brown, Christel Dormagen, Brigitte Heinrich

        Nach außen scheint alles perfekt. Madeleine ist mit einem erfolgreichen Geschäftsmann verheiratet, sie hat ein schönes Zuhause in Chicago und keine finanziellen Sorgen. Dennoch ist sie nicht glücklich: Wie schon ihre Mutter und ihre Großmutter ist sie gefangen in einem Leben, das aus gesellschaftlichen Verpflichtungen besteht; die eigenen Träume sind auf der Strecke geblieben. Als Madeleine eines Tages auf dem Dachboden ihres Elternhauses die Tagebücher ihrer Großmutter entdeckt, erfährt sie Unglaubliches: Die strenge, stets auf Etikette bedachte Großmutter Margie war einst eine lebenslustige junge Frau, die der Enge des Elternhauses nach Europa ins wilde Paris der 20er Jahre entfloh, um frei und unabhängig als Schriftstellerin zu leben. Dort verliebte sie sich in einen charismatischen jungen Künstler und verbrachte einen glücklichen Sommer in der Pariser Boheme ... Von Margies Geschichte ermutigt, fasst sich Madeleine endlich ein Herz, ihr Leben selbst in die Hand zu nehmen …

        The rise of the Nazis

        by Conan Fischer, Mark Greengrass

        How and why did the Nazis seize power in Germany? Nearly seventy years on, the question remains heated and important discoveries continue to challenge long standing assumptions. Beginmning with an overview of the historical context within which Nazism grew, looking at the foreign relations, politics and society of Weimar and in particular at the role of the elites in the rise of Nazism. The book questions the anatomy of Nazism itself: What lent Nazi ideology its coherence and credibility? What distinguished the Nazi's programme from their competitors' and how did they project it so effectively? How was Hitler able to put together and fund an organisation so quickly and effectively that it could launch a sustained assault on Weimar? Who supported the Nazis and what were their motives? Where, precisely, does Nazism belong in the history of Europe?. Since the publication of the first edition, important new works have appeared and this new scholarship has been incorporated into the text. ;

        Taking travel home

        The souvenir culture of British women tourists, 1750–1830

        by Emma Gleadhill

        In the late eighteenth-century, elite British women had an unprecedented opportunity to travel. Taking travel home uncovers the souvenir culture these women developed around the texts and objects they brought back with them to realise their ambitions in the arenas of connoisseurship, friendship and science. Key characters include forty-three-year-old Hester Piozzi (Thrale), who honeymooned in Italy; thirty-one-year-old Anna Miller, who accompanied her husband on a Grand Tour; Dorothy Richardson, who undertook various tours of England from the ages of twelve to fifty-two; and the sisters Katherine and Martha Wilmot, who travelled to Russia in their late twenties. The supreme tourist of the book, the political salon hostess Lady Elizabeth Holland, travelled to many countries with her husband, including Paris, where she met Napoleon, and Spain during the Peninsular War. Using a methodology informed by literary and design theory, art history, material culture studies and tourism studies, the book examines a wide range of objects, from painted fans "of the ruins of Rome for a sequin apiece" and the Pope's "bless'd beads", to lava from Vesuvius and pieces of Stonehenge. It argues that the rise of the souvenir is representative of female agency, as women used their souvenirs to form spaces in which they could create and control their own travel narratives.

        Eternal light and earthly concerns

        Belief and the shaping of medieval society

        by Paul Fouracre

        In early Christianity it was established that every church should have a light burning on the altar at all times. In this unique study, Eternal light and earthly concerns, looks at the material and social consequences of maintaining these 'eternal' lights. It investigates how the cost of lighting was met across western Europe throughout the whole of the Middle Ages, revealing the social organisation that was built up around maintaining the lights in the belief that burning them reduced the time spent in Purgatory. When that belief collapsed in the Reformation the eternal lights were summarily extinguished. The history of the lights thus offers not only a new account of change in medieval Europe, but also a sustained examination of the relationship between materiality and belief.

        Der Analog

        Ein nicht-euklidischer, im symbolischen Verstand authentischer alpinistischer Abenteuerroman

        by René Daumal, Claudio Rugafiori, H. J. Maxwell, Albrecht Fabri, H. J. Maxwell

        Der »Analog« ist ein Berg, der »Himmel und Erde verbindet«, höher als der Mount Everest – doch bisher unentdeckt. Theodor, der bei einer Zeitschrift für Paläontologie arbeitet, ist von der Existenz jedoch überzeugt. Ebenso wie Dr. Sogol, der sich mit ihm in Verbindung setzt, Alpinismus lehrt und die eigene Wohnung in einen Gebirgsweg verwandelt hat. Es findet sich schließlich eine ganze Gruppe von Abenteuerlustigen zusammen, die die Sinnsuche zum Berg treibt. Sie rüsten ein Schiff aus, die »Impossible«, und begeben sich zu jener von niemandem je gesehenen Landmasse. Tatsächlich gelangt die Reisegruppe zum Berg, doch der Aufstieg konfrontiert sie mit unerwarteten Mühen. Der Weg zum Gipfel ist gleichsam ein innerer und die Annäherung an eine höhere Weisheit. Der erste Roman René Daumals, eines Autors, der in Rausch und Nahtoderfahrung Erkenntnis suchte, hieß Das Große Besäufnis. Seinen zweiten Roman, Der Analog, beschrieb er selbst als das Gegenstück, als »Ausblick in eine Welt, in der es das Wahre, Gute, Schöne gibt.« Daumal verlässt 1940 mit seiner jüdischen Ehefrau Vera Milanova das von der deutschen Wehrmacht besetzte Paris. Nach Stationen in den Pyrenäen und Marseille, lässt sich das Paar 1943 in den Alpen nieder, wo Daumal die Arbeit am Analog fortsetzt. Der Analog muss jedoch unvollendet bleiben und erscheint posthum. Der Autor stirbt mit 36 Jahren in Folge einer Tuberkulose Erkrankung und sein Roman schließt mit einem Komma. Der Leser also muss die letzten Schritte zum hoffnungsfrohen Ausblick eigenständig erklimmen.
