        Die Lust des Lebens und der Liebe

        Gedanken über die Lebenskunst

        by Giacomo Casanova, Eckart Kleßmann, Eckart Kleßmann

        Giacomo Casanova (1725 bis 1798) verstand sich als Schriftsteller und Philosoph. Unter seinen Werken finden sich eine Homer-übersetzung ins Italienische, ein umfangreicher utopischer Roman, eine Geschichte Polens, mathematische Abhandlungen, Gedichte, Satiren, Essays. In die Weltliteratur eingegangen ist er mit seinen Lebenserinnerungen (Histoire de ma vie), die erst 30 Jahre nach seinem Tod gedruckt wurden.Gedanken über die Zeitläufte und das menschliche Verhalten, über die Liebe, die Lust und das Laster, über die Frauen, Gott und die Welt, die sich in seinem ganzen Werk verstreut finden, sind hier zu einem Lesebuch zusammengefaßt und enthalten die praktische Lebensphilosophie eines Mannes, der im Bewußtsein vieler – zu Unrecht – nur noch als der große Verführer und Liebhaber weiterlebt

        The Florentine florin

        The politics and culture of money in the Middle Ages

        by Stefano Locatelli

        Minted in Florence around November 1252, the florin became one of the leading gold currencies of the Middle Ages. Historians agree that its success was mainly due to the need for a stable means of payment in the networks of international trade. The Florentine Florin investigates the florin as a medium with hitherto neglected political, social, and cultural dimensions. By bringing human agents and political institutions more prominently into the history of the coin, this book enhances our understanding of money and its nature from a historical perspective, and provides an original framework for the integrated study of material culture and economic practices.

        El coronel no tiene quien le escriba

        by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Giovanni Pontiero

        Gabriel García Márquez has been described as the greatest writer in Spanish since Cervantes, and El coronel no tiene quien le escriba is considered to be one of his best works. This reflective and atmospheric novel is set in a small Colombian town where the frustrated and stubborn Colonel, a veteran of the 'War of a Thousand Days', is still, after thirty years, waiting for the letter authorising payment of his war pension. The old soldier and his wife mourn the brutal killing of their only son, and the story of their struggle against poverty and sickness culminates in the Colonel's defiant refusal to part with his cherished fighting cock, however serious the consequences. The moving narrative pays tribute to the resilience of human nature and man's will to survive in the face of heavy odds. The novel also throws light on the turbulent religious and political troubles in Latin America. Now revised to include an updated chronology and bibliography, Giovanni Pontiero's acclaimed critical edition provides English-speaking students with an introduction to, and notes on the text, and a selected vocabulary. ;

        Mozarts Librettist erinnert sich

        by Lorenzo Ponte, Charlotte Birnbaum, Charlotte Birnbaum, Jörg Krämer

        Lorenzo Da Pontes Leben verlief wahrlich nicht geradlinig. Aus einfachen Verhältnissen stammend, führte ihn sein Weg über die Priesterweihe und Tätigkeit als Literaturprofessor bis in die Neue Welt, wo er die Oper populär machte.Er traf auf berühmte Zeitgenossen wie Casanova, Salieri oder Cagliostro, die er in seinen Memoiren treffend porträtiert, und natürlich auf Mozart. Für ihn schrieb er drei Libretti, durch die sie beide unsterblich wurden: Die Hochzeit des Figaro (1786), Don Giovanni (1787) und Così fan tutte (1790).
