January 1982Anna Livia Plurabelle
by James Joyce, Georg Goyert
›Anna Livia Plurabelle‹ ist das berühmteste, meistzitierte Kapitel des unübersetzbarsten aller Bücher, »Finnegans Wake« von James Joyce. Unser Band bringt den Text des Originals, eine alte und zwei neue Übertragungen (von Wolfgang Hildesheimer und Hans Wollschläger) und eine Einführung von Klaus Reichert. ALP, nach Arno Schmidt die »All-Frau«, die Zusammensetzung »aus der schönen rot-gehaarten Isolde, den Maggies und sonstigen ›Stundentänzerinnen‹«, ist für Joyce das weibliche Prinzip des Universums, Wasser, Erde, Eva, Isis, Isolde und Psyche in einem; sie tritt zu Beginn des Buches mit den Fluten der Liffey auf und wird am Ende im Traum wie ein Fluß dem väterlichen Ozean zugetragen, wo alles sich verliert, sich wiederfindet und von neuem beginnt. »Was soll nun der deutsche Leser mit dem Buch anfangen? Er kann sich ans Nach-Prüfen, Nach-Denken, Nach-Schmecken, Nach-Sprechen von Hildesheimers und Wollschlägers Übertragung machen. Er wird entdecken, daß »Finnegans Wake« doch, wenn man nicht den falschen Ehrgeiz hegt, gleich alles ›verstehen‹ zu wollen, ein ›funeral‹ ist, nämlich eines der Begräbnisse des herkömmlichen Romans, und ein ›fun for all‹, ein Spaß für alle.« »Jörg Drews«

The material and visual culture of the Stuart courts, 1589–1619
by Jemma Field
Approaching the Stuart courts through the lens of the queen consort, Anna of Denmark, this study is underpinned by three key themes: translating cultures, female agency and the role of kinship networks and genealogical identity for early modern royal women. Illustrated with a fascinating array of objects and artworks, the book follows a trajectory that begins with Anna's exterior spaces before moving to the interior furnishings of her palaces, the material adornment of the royal body, an examination of Anna's visual persona and a discussion of Anna's performance of extraordinary rituals that follow her life cycle. Underpinned by a wealth of new archival research, the book provides a richer understanding of the breadth of Anna's interests and the meanings generated by her actions, associations and possessions.

Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre
by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Sue Downing, Svenja Becker
Anna ist acht Jahre alt, da nimmt sie die Mutter zum ersten Mal ins Theater mit. Das St. Petersburger Ballett tanzt Dornröschen. Danach steht für Anna fest: Sie will zur Bühne und Tänzerin werden. Mit zehn wird sie in die Theaterakademie aufgenommen. Aber die kleine, zierliche Anna wird von den Mitschülerinnen gehänselt, ihre Arme seien zu lang, die Füße krumm. Sie trainiert hart, und an der Seite des legendären Rudolf Nurejew wird sie zu einer der berühmtesten und erfolgreichsten Primaballerinen, die nicht nur die Opernhäuser der Welt für sich einnimmt, sondern mit ihrer Ausstrahlung auch ganze Fußballstadien füllt. Unsterblich ist ihr Tanz-Solo als „sterbender Schwan“. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

March 2007Anna Amalia. Herzogin von Weimar
by Annette Seemann, Constantin Beyer
Wer war diese Anna Amalia, die sich von der charmanten jungen Rokokoprinzessin zur Schutzgöttin der Künste wandelte? Dieser reichbebilderte Band illustriert den Lebensweg einer vielschichtigen Persönlichkeit, der es gelang, die eigenen künstlerischen Interessen für die kulturelle Entwicklung des Herzogtums Weimar fruchtbar zu machen. Das klassische Weimar ist ohne Anna Amalia (1739–1807), die Mutter Carl Augusts, undenkbar. Unter ihrer Regentschaft verwandelte sich die kleine Residenz zum geistigen Zentrum der Goethezeit. Es gelang ihr, herausragende Geister der Epoche – darunter Goethe, Wieland, Herder und Schiller – an ihren Hof zu ziehen. Sie begründete den »Weimarer Musenhof« mit seinen berühmten Leseabenden; sie förderte das deutsche Theater und verband das aristokratische Rokoko mit der neuen bürgerlichen Gefühlskultur. Ihre große Italienreise spiegelt die Italienbegeisterung der Zeit und Goethes Einfluß. Annette Seemann schildert den Lebensweg einer der bedeutendsten aufgeklärten Fürstinnen ihrer Zeit. Ein Akzent ihrer Darstellung liegt auf dem vielleicht größten Verdienst der Herzogin: der Gründung der »Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek«. Nach dem verheerenden Brand des Jahres 2004 wird sie in Anna Amalias 200. Todesjahr nach umfangreichen Restaurierungen wieder zur Benutzung freigegeben.

May 1999Die Reise nach London
Wiederbegegnungen
by Anna Maria Jokl
"Im Herbst 1977 fliegt die Autorin ins kühle, verregnete London. Es ist eine Reise in die eigene Vergangenheit, um 27 Jahre zurück. In London hatte Anna Maria Jokl von 1939 bis 1950 gelebt; der Ort ihres Exils war ihr immer fremd geblieben. Während die Autorin durch London geht, kehren Bilder, Erinnerungen wieder, auch aus anderen Metropolen ihres Lebens: Jerusalem, Prag, Paris, Berlin. In Kensington Garden sucht Anna Maria Jokl nach einem Baum, den während des Zweiten Weltkriegs eine deutsche Bombe zerfetzt hatte und der durch die Zerstörung eine bizarre, wuchernde Form angenommen hatte. »Den Baum war ich suchen gekommen, am Jom Kippur in London. Ich fand ihn nicht mehr.«"
