The long-awaited prequel to Chronicles of the revolution covers the first twenty years (1377-97) of Richard II's reign. This richly-documented period offers exceptional opportunities and challenges to students, and the editor has selected material from a wide range of sources: well-known English chronicles, foreign chronicles and legal, administrative and financial records. These are arranged chronologically to form a coherent narrative of the reign. Clear and lively commentary and notes enable readers to make the fullest use of each document. The introduction describes the complex domestic and international situation which confronted the young king and offers guidance on the strengths and weaknesses of the reign's leading chronicles. The dramatic and diverse politics of the reign of Richard II make this the ideal special subject and an accessible, affordable, student-friendly documentary history of Richard II's reign has long been needed. This book is designed to fill that gap.
Envy is a relationship drama. The other is the thorn in the flesh. The first murder in the Bible is when Cain killed Abel: out of envy. And today, influencers dazzle their followers with their enviable lives. Bettina Schulte's essay spans an arc from the gruelling agony of subjective envy to the question of its legitimate social role. And of course, it's also about jealousy as a form of envy ...
Berti heißt auch Fekete, Robert Pattinson, Ricky, Zorro und Bagheera. Er ist das Ergebnis der Liaison eines Jack-Russell-Terriers mit einem Straßenköter. Der übermütige Welpe ruiniert die Geschäfte eines ungarischen Hundehändlers, bricht einer Zwölfjährigen das Herz, weckt die Lebensgeister eines neurotischen Physikers und landet auf der Müllhalde eines Haustiermessies. Überall, wo er hinkommt, hinterlässt er seine Spuren in den Herzen und in den Leben seiner Menschen, die er als kleiner Schatten ihres Glücks und Unglücks begleitet. Bettina Balàka erzählt in ihrem Roman nicht nur die Geschichte eines Hundelebens: Unter Menschen ist zugleich ein Reigen zwischenmenschlicher Tragödien und Komödien – grandios komponiert, ironisch und unterhaltsam, voll überraschendem Witz und geistreicher Erkenntnis.
Above all else, and despite all the enlightenment of the age, sex in the 21st century seems to be a problem. Abuse, MeToo, human trafficking, circumcision, role-playing, body cult... But if sex is a mere abyss for modern humans, then why not just let it be? We are the first generation that could actually do it without endangering the survival of the species. And voices are getting louder that once again call for abstinence in a supposedly over-sexualised society. Artificial insemination and artificially intelligent technology for the safe removal of instincts should finally pacify what humans cannot control: instinctive nature. Sex is not the epitome of our animal nature. Every attempt to control the animal in us, either by taming it or by freeing it from tamers in a sexual revolution, inevitably misses the point. Bettina Stangneth asks the quite simple question: what is sex? If every culture of prohibition has failed so far, clearer ideas are obviously needed. Even if we prefer to ignore it, attempts to establish a culture through desire instead of the cultivation of desire have been around for a long time. After all, if you don't want to learn to talk positively about sex, you can't talk meaningfully about coercion and violence.
