        Kamala Harris

        Ein Porträt

        by Marie-Astrid Langer

        Im suffragettenweißen Anzug tritt Kamala Harris am 7. November 2020 auf die Bühne in Wilmington, Delaware, als erste Vizepräsidentin der Vereinigten Staaten. Ihre Worte gehen um die Welt, sie selbst wird zur Ikone … Die US-Korrespondentin Marie-Astrid Langer gibt Einblick in die entscheidenden Momente auf dem Lebensweg von der Einwanderertochter zur mächtigsten Schwarzen Frau in Washington. Ihre Mutter aus Indien, ihr Vater aus Jamaika, beide zum Studieren in das Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten gekommen, beide in der Bürgerrechtsbewegung aktiv, und so bekommt Kamala Harris den Kampf für Gleichberechtigung vom ersten Tag an in die Wiege gelegt. Als Grenzgängerin zwischen der harten Realität der Schwarzen Communities und den linken Eliten Kaliforniens entwickelt sie früh ihr politisches Denken, ihr Engagement, ihren Ehrgeiz. Und mit einer Vision von Freiheit, Toleranz und Gerechtigkeit, tief geprägt von der afroamerikanischen Geschichte, macht sie sich an einen unvergleichlichen Aufstieg, der mehr als einmal an den Widersprüchen und Ungleichheiten eines Landes zu scheitern droht.

        Giacomo Joyce

        by James Joyce, Richard Ellmann, Klaus Reichert, Fritz Senn

        »Joyce, Sie wissen doch, dieser irische Gigant … Der Zeitpunkt liegt so um 1909 herum. Da lebte der wortgewaltige Romancier in Triest und fristete sein Leben mühsam mit Sprachunterricht. Ja, und da hatte er eine Affäre mit einer Schülerin, kindjung anscheinend, doch von überzeugender Weiblichkeit. Ihr zuliebe schrieb er eben jenes Novellchen. Es steht alles drin, was einem reifen Mann passiert, wenn er sich vergißt. Und es ist eine Poesie, in eine feine Lieblichkeit eingefangen, wie sie nur Joyce vermag, wenn er verliebt ist.« – Werner Helwig

        The Jewish pedlar

        An untold criminal history

        by Tony Kushner

        An imaginative investigation into a historical crime that sheds new light on Jewish history. In 1734 a pedlar turned smuggler named Jacob Harris slit the throats of three people in a pub in Sussex. This triple-murder, for which he was hanged and gibbeted, remains the most violent crime ever committed by a British Jew. Yet today it is all but forgotten. In The Jewish pedlar, Tony Kushner goes in search of the enigmatic Harris. Digging into a remarkable range of sources, from law records and newspaper reports to ballads and folktales, he follows the traces of Harris's legend across three hundred years of British history. In doing so, he reconstructs the world of Jewish pedlars and criminals across many continents. The lives these figures eked out at the margins of society paint a picture of persistent antisemitism - but also of remarkable integration. Intellectually bold and deeply humane, The Jewish pedlar takes a new, grassroots approach to the history of Jews in the modern world, shedding light on everyday lives from the Enlightenment to the Holocaust and beyond.

        Bertrand Blier

        by Sue Harris

        The most complete study of Blier's work to date, Harris traces the director's career from the early 1960s until the present. Outlines the forms, themes and style which dominate in Blier's work, and challenges the many labels that have been used to describe both the corpus of films and the man himself. Provides an original and controversial discussion of Blier's alleged 'misogyny', and invites the reader to understand the scatological and corporeal aspects of Blier's filmmaking in terms of long-established traditions of popular dramatic culture. Brings to light the comic mechanisms underpinning Blier's films and identifies strategies which navigate through one of the most entertaining and disconcerting bodies of work of recent years. The first book on Blier published in English.

        Men, ideas and tanks

        British military thought and armoured forces, 1903?39

        by J. P. Harris

        Men, ideas and tanks reviews the development of British military ideas on armoured forces from 1903 to 1939. Great Britain was the nation which first developed the tank, first used it in action and first gained dramatic results by employment. The British continued to be world leaders in the field of mechanised warfare until the early 1930s. J. P. Harris offers strikingly new interpretations of the early history of British armoured forces and explains why Great Britain had lost the lead by the outbreak of the Second World War. Available in paperback once more, this work will be of interest to all those concerned with British military history in the first half of the twentieth century, with the history of mechanised warfare and with the history of military thought. ;

        Das Dubliner Tagebuch des Stanislaus Joyce

        by Stanislaus Joyce, George Harris Healey, Arno Schmidt

        Stanislaus Joyce hat Tagebücher hinterlassen, von denen einige, aus der Zeit vom Herbst 1903 bis zum April 1905, hier vorliegen. Sie ergänzen das uns aus »Meines Bruders Hüter« (st273) bekannte Bild der Familie Joyce und ihrer Freunde, geben ehrlichen, oft mürrischen, häufig haßerfüllten Einblick in deren elendes Alltagsleben und zeigen schon in diesen frühen Jahren die Mischung aus Bewunderung und Verachtung, die für das Verhältnis von Stanislaus zu James lebenslänglich entscheidend gewesen ist. James pflegte diese Aufzeichnungen zu lesen und hat sie bisweilen für seine Werke ebenso ausgenutzt wie Stanislaus später für sein Erinnerungsbuch. Niemand wird in diesen Tagebüchern so häufig erwähnt wie der Bruder James, und so enthalten sie wichtige Aufschlüsse über die Jahre, in denen dieser an »Kammermusik«, »Stephen der Held«, »Ein Porträt des Künstlers als junger Mann« arbeitete. Wieviel Wirklichkeit in die Werke von James eingegangen ist, wird erst sichtbar durch die zahlreichen Anmerkungen, die der Übersetzer Arno Schmidt für den deutschen Leser beigesteuert hat.
