How Quixote Saved the World
by Chang Li
The Picture Book of Philosophical Stories for Children inspired by four Chinese and foreign literary classics (Tales from a Carefree Studio, Moby Dick, Don Quixote, and A Midsummer Night's Dream), this book carefully retells the works of four famous writers - Pu Songling, Herman Melville, Cervantes, and Shakespeare - all set in the context of modern children's lives, containing profound philosophical ideas, and skillfully incorporating the true meaning of wisdom and discernment. The form of this book is children's favorite picture books style, so that children can talk to literary classics and understand the philosophy in the stories. A contrast to Cervantes' Don Quixote, retaining the personas of Don Quixote and Sancho to express the relationship between fantasy and reality. The adventures of a child faithful to the world of fairy tales in the real world. Quixote believes in the fantasy world of fairy tale books (not knight books), and ultimately this fantasy helps himself and others.

February 2000Der Dom zu Aachen
Ein Rundgang
by Dieter Wynands
Der Dom zu Aachen ist nicht nur Krönungsstätte von 32 deutschen Königen, Verehrungsstätte herausragender abendländischer Reliquien und Wallfahrtskirche, Bewahrer des bedeutendsten Kirchenschatzes diesseits der Alpen, er ist auch ein wahrhaft europäisches Monument. Seiner einzigartigen Bedeutung wurde 1978 entsprochen, als er als erstes deutsches Denkmal in die Liste des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes aufgenommen wurde. Im Jahr 2000 wird in Zusammenhang mit der Krönung Karls des Großen zum römischen Kaiser im Jahr 800 von Kirche und Stadt auch der 1200jährigen Geschichte des Domes gedacht. Dieter Wynands, einer der besten Kenner des Domes und seiner Geschichte, lädt aus diesem Anlaß zu einem Rundgang um und durch das Bauwerk ein.

Li Bai is the greatest romantic poet in our country in the Tang Dynasty. Romanticism, as a trend of literary thought, is a social product of Europe from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. However, as a traumatic method, like realism, it is produced simultaneously with literature and art. Realism pays more attention to the portrayal of objective things, while romanticism focuses more on the expression of subjective feelings. With the Chinese poetic term "Fu Beixing" to describe the use of realism works more method, the use of romantic multi-Xing method. The use of Bi Xing is a major feature of Li Bai's poetry. Li Bai is a poet representing the Tang Dynasty culture. The ancient northern Yellow River valley culture in the philosophical thinking, with Confucius "Analects" as the representative, in the literary arts, the realist "Book of Songs" as a typical.

The ArtsJuly 2006Hollywood romantic comedy
States of Union, 1934–1965
by Kathrina Glitre
This book explores the changing representation of the couple, focusing on themes of marriage, equality and desire. Kathrina Glitre moves beyond the usual screwball territory to consider cycles of production from 1934-65. The central concern with the representation of the couple is distinctive and includes discussion of three star couples: Myrna Loy and William Powell, Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, and Doris Day and Rock Hudson. Glitre offers explanations of genre, as well as detailed analysis of screwball comedy, career woman comedy and sex comedy. Each cycle is placed into context to analyse cultural discourses around heterosexuality, gender, romance and love. This structure also enables a more sophisticated understanding of such conventions as masquerade, gender inversion and the happy ending. The book will appeal to university students and academics working on genre, gender, culture and representation, and anyone with a keen interest in Hollywood romantic comedy. ;
