        Leben ohne Poesie

        Gedichte

        by Peter Handke, Ulla Berkéwicz, Ulla Berkéwicz

        1969 erschien, wie es damals hieß, ein »Reader« von Peter Handke, der den Untertitel trug: Prosa Gedichte Theaterstücke Hörspiele Aufsätze. Die dort abgedruckten Gedichte waren dem im selben Jahr publizierten Band Die Innenwelt der Außenwelt der Innenwelt entnommen, in dem der Autor 42 für Lyrik bisher nicht verwendete Textformen entdeckte: etwa Die Aufstellung des 1. FC Nürnberg vom 27.1.1968, den Vorspann zum Film Bonnie und Clyde usw. Und obwohl Peter Handke in den darauffolgenden Jahren als Prosa- und Theaterautor in den Vordergrund trat, wendete er sich nicht von der Ausdrucksform Gedicht ab. Dies belegen etwa die Langgedichte Leben ohne Poesie oder Blaues Gedicht in dem Band Als das Wünschen noch geholfen hat (1974), das Gedicht an die Dauer (aus dem Jahre 1986) sowie die Haikus in den Notizbüchern, etwa den 2005 veröffentlichten Gestern unterwegs.

        Love & Bullets

        Thriller

        by Nick Kolakowski, Thomas Wörtche, Stefan Lux

        Bill ist ein smarter Dandy, der vom Stehlen und Betrügen einfach nicht lassen kann. Sein Luxusleben, die schicken Autos, High-End-Uhren und Designerklamotten kosten schließlich auch einen Haufen Kohle. Nur mit Gewalt hat er es nicht so. Fiona hingegen hat mit Gewalt nicht wirklich ein Problem und geht dabei effektiv und ziemlich robust vor. Fiona und Bill sind das ideale Liebespaar. Als sich Bill von einem New Yorker Gangster-Syndikat ein paar Millionen »borgt«, was er wohl lieber hätte bleiben lassen sollen, müssen die beiden fliehen wie weiland Bonnie & Clyde. Die rasante Jagd führt durch die amerikanischen Provinzen, wo irre Sheriffs lauern, in die Karibik, wo man sich nicht auch nur eine Sekunde lang sicher fühlen darf, und zurück nach New York City, wo schon die richtig harten Jungs vom Mob auf die beiden warten, die sich einmal mehr fragen müssen, wie sie aus dieser Nummer wieder rauskommen ...

        Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation

        Passengers, pilots, publicity

        by Gordon Pirie, Andrew Thompson, John Mackenzie

        The new activity of trans-continental civil flying in the 1930s is a useful vantage point for viewing the extension of British imperial attitudes and practices. Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation examines the experiences of those (mostly men) who flew solo or with a companion (racing or for leisure), who were airline passengers (doing colonial administration, business or research), or who flew as civilian air and ground crews. For airborne elites, flying was a modern and often enviable way of managing, using and experiencing empire. On the ground, aviation was a device for asserting old empire: adventure and modernity were accompanied by supremacism. At the time, however, British civil imperial flying was presented romantically in books, magazines and exhibitions. Eighty years on, imperial flying is still remembered, reproduced and re-enacted in caricature. ;

        Reading Cusanus: Metaphor and Dialectic in a Conjectural Universe

        Metaphor and Dialectic in a Conjectural Universe

        by Clyde Lee Miller

        This book presents careful readings of six of the most important theoretical works of Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1463). Though Nicholas' writings have long been studied as either scholastic Aristotelian or proto-Kantian, Clyde Lee Miller locates Cusanus squarely in the Christian Neoplatonic tradition. He demonstrates how Nicholas worked out his own original synthesis of that tradition by fashioning a conjectural view of main categories of Christian thought: God, the universe, Jesus Christ, and human beings. Each of the readings reveals how Nicholas' project of "learned ignorance" is played out in striking metaphors for God and the relation of God to creation.

        The Art of Conjecture

        Nicholas of Cusa on Knowledge

        by Clyde Lee Miller

        “Learned ignorance,” the recognition that God is beyond us and our knowing capacities is the theological concept for which Nicholas of Cusa is most famous. Despite God’s apparent absence Nicholas offers original ways to think about God that would unite his presence with his absence. He called these proposals “conjectures” (coniecturae). Conjecture and conjecturing are central to the methodology of Nicholas’s philosophical theology and to his thinking about human knowledge. By using concrete examples from the everyday life of his times as symbolic imagery Nicholas makes what we say about God imaginatively available and theoretically plausible. He called such conjectural symbols “aenigmata” (= “symbolic or ‘enigmatic’ conjectures”) because they partially clarify and likewise point to an exact truth that is beyond us. Novel and imaginative, Nicholas’s conjectural examples break with the traditional medieval Aristotelian examples and provide further evidence of his role as a figure bridging medieval and Renaissance thought. Following his earlier book, Reading Cusanus (The Catholic University of America Press, 2003), Clyde Lee Miller here examines and comments on the meaning of “conjecture” in Nicholas of Cusa. The Art of Conjecture: Nicholas of Cusa on Knowledge explores what Nicholas meant by conjecture and its import as demonstrated in his treatises and sermons. Beginning with Nicholas’ On Conjectures, Miller analyzes a series of conjectural symbols and proposals across Nicholas’s less frequently discussed texts and recently published sermons. This early Renaissance thinker offers an original and ground-breaking way of framing speculation in philosophical theology and more generally in philosophy itself.

        They Belonged to Glasgow

        The City from the Bottom Up

        by Rudolph. Kenna

        Famed as the second city of the empire, Glasgow's origins lie not only in the medieval town based around the High Street, but also in the numerous villages outside the city boundaries, including Anderston and Partick. As the city spread, the villages were consumed and the social conditions within them gradually altered. This book charts these changes through eye-witness accounts drawn from the archives and the local press.;The book begins in 1751, with a report on a flea circus presented by John Jarvis in a flat in the Trongate. From then on, the entries reflect the myriad activities and happenings that occurred in all walks of life on the bank of the Clyde. Revealing the patchwork of lives and loves of everyday people, the book is a revealing portrait of how people have existed in the area over 250 years.

        Adventures in the Garden

        by Isabel Bannerman (author), Julian Bannerman (author)

        Isabel and Julian Bannerman have been described as "mavericks in the grand manner, touched by genius" (Min Hogg, World of Interiors)and "the Bonnie and Clyde of garden design" (Ruth Guilding, The Bible of British Taste).  Their approach to design, whie rooted in history and the classical tradition, is fresh, eclectic and surprising. They designed the British 9/11 Memorial Garden in New York and have also designed gardens for the Prince of Wales at Highgrove and the Castle of Mey, Lord Rothschild at Waddesdon Manor, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk at Arundel Castle in Sussex and John Paul Getty II at Wormsley in Buckhamshire. The garden they made for themselves at Hanham Court near Bath was acclaimed by Gardens Illustrated as the top garden of 2009, ahead of Sissinghurst. When they moved from Hanham it was to the fairytale castle of Trematon overlooking Plymouth Sound, where they have created yet another magical garden. Wonderland: Adventures in the Garden celebrates the imaginative and practical process of designing, making and planting all of these gardens, and many more.

        RUE END STREET

        by Sue Reid Sexton

        About this book: The sequel to Mavis’s Shoe, Rue End Street is a wartime novel about the Scots-Italians in World War II, separation, loss and being part of a family. It is September 1943, more than two years since Lenny’s world was devastated by the Clydebank Blitz and she and her family are safe in the beautiful green hut community of Carbeth, Scotland. But as the tides of war turn and Italy joins the Allies to fight the Nazis, the fists of war and fear are set to grab Lenny once more. Adversity threatens each moment, and Lenny is about to lose her closest ally. Told the family must move back to Clydebank with its smoke and factories and now overcrowded, teeming dwellings, Lenny refuses to give up her rural sanctuary. When her mother Peggy returns to Clydebank for a job, leaving Lenny to become a little mother to her siblings, Lenny lies about her age to look for work locally. But this new turn is bewildering. Exhausted, Lenny seizes on news of her father, convinced that if only she can discover the truth about where he is, if only she can find him, she can make their family complete again. But no-one will meet her eye. Desperate, and in need of a happy ending, Lenny sets out, but all is not as she hopes… Her steps take her the length of the great Clyde estuary, and into new dangers in the vast, dark, threatening and adult war-time ports of Helensburgh and Greenock... This book is the sequel to Mavis’s Shoe, a harrowing account of the bombing of Clydebank in March 1941.
