        Eleventh-century Germany

        The Swabian chronicles

        by I. Robinson

        Three of the most important chronicles of eleventh-century Germany were composed in the south-western duchy of Swabia. The chronicles reveal how between 1049 and 1100 the centripetal attraction of the reform papacy became the dominant fact of intellectual life in German reformed monastic circles. In the abbey of Reichenau Herman 'the Lame' composed a chronicle of the reign of Emperor Henry III (1039-56). His pupil, Berthold of Reichenau, continued his master's work, composing a detailed account of 1076-1079 in Germany. Bernold, a clergyman of Constance, continued the work of Herman and Berthold in a text containing the fullest extant account of 1080-1100. Herman's waning enthusiasm for the monarchy and growing interest in the newly reformed papacy were intensified in Berthold's chronicle, and writing in the new context of the reformed monasteries of south-western Germany, Bernold preached total obedience to the Gregorian papacy. The Swabian chronicles are an indispensable resource to the student of the changing loyalties and conflicts of eleventh-century Germany.

        Jahre am Bodensee

        Erinnerungen, Betrachtungen, Briefe und Gedichte

        by Hermann Hesse, Volker Michels

        Hermann Hesse war ein Weltreisender und zugleich an eine Heimat gebunden. Diese Doppelrolle erlaubte es ihm, seine jeweilige Umgebung und deren Bewohner in ihren Besonderheiten, ihre Landschaft im Laufe der Geschichte und im Wechsel der Jahreszeiten präzise zu erfassen. Besonders intensiv und in überwältigenden literarischen Zeugnissen erwies sich Hermann Hesses Sinn für Orte und Stimmungen am Bodensee. Von 1904 bis 1912 lebte er in Gaienhofen, nachdem ihm sein erster Roman "Peter Camenzind" den literarischen Durchbruch gebracht hatte. In dieser Zeit kamen seine drei Söhne zur Welt, hier baute er sich 1907 sein einziges eigenes Haus, nachdem Jahr für Jahr jene Romane, Erzählungen und Gedichtsammlungen erschienen waren, die seinen frühen Ruhm als einen der eigenwilligsten und einflußreichsten Autoren des 20.Jahrhunderts begründet hatten. Dieser reich bebilderte Band versammelt alle poetischen und prosaischen Beschäftigungen Hesses mit dieser alten Kulturlandschaft. Eindringlich kommt in Hesses Berichten das Unverwechselbare dieser Region zum Ausdruck: in der ganzen Vielfalt ihrer landschaftlichen und klimatischen Erscheinungsformen vom tiegfelegenen Seeufer bis zu den Spitzen der Alpen. Doch nicht nur das Leben am See im Wechsel der Jahreszeiten, die Menschen und ihren Alltag vergegenwärtigen diese Aufzeichnungen, sondern auch Hesses Erfahrungen beim Gartenbau oder beim Flug in einem der ersten Zeppelin-Luftschiffe. Das von Volker Michels zusammengestellte Lese- und Bilderbuch zeigt also den Dichter und seine Landschaft – es ist somit ein Buch von und über Hermann Hesse sowie ein Buch zum Reisen mit Hermann Hesse am Bodensee.

        Der Ritt über den Bodensee

        by Peter Handke

        Terrorism and democratic stability revisited

        by Jennifer S. Holmes

        Can terrorism and state violence cause democratic breakdown? Although the origins of violence have been studied, only rarely are its consequences examined. In this detailed comparative study of Uruguay, Spain, and Peru, Holmes claims that to understand the consequences of violence on democratic stability, terrorism and state responses to terrorism must be studied together. This extensively revised and expanded second edition takes advantage of new historical sources, an extended time span, and new theories that have emerged since the original publication. In addition to adding new data sources in the Peruvian and Spanish cases, the time period covered has been expanded from the late 1990s to early 2007, allowing a more comprehensive treatment of the consequences of state and non-state violence on democratic stability and the prospects for stability. The literature reviews have been significantly revised and updated and an entirely new chapter covers the special case of Spain, which faces both a domestic and an international threat. ;
