Wystan Hugh Auden wurde am 21. Februar 1907 in York, England geboren. Er ist vor allem für seine Lyrik bekannt. Nach dem Studium in Oxford verbrachte er einige Zeit in Deutschland, u.a. lebte er mit seinem damaligen Freund Christopher Isherwood einige Monate in Berlin. Auden interessierte sich sehr für das politische Geschehen seiner Zeit und kämpfte im Spanischen Bürgerkrieg. 1935 heiratete er Thomas Manns Tochter Erika, um ihr die Ausreise aus dem nationalsozialistischen Deutschland zu ermöglichen. Er selbst siedelte 1939 in die USA über, nahm später die amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft an und lehrte an verschiedenen Universitäten. Neben seiner bekannten und viel zitierten Lyrik verfaßte er auch einige Dramen, Kritiken und Essays, und schrieb Libretti für verschiedene Komponisten, wie Igor Strawinsky, Hans Werner Henze und Nicholas Nabokov. 1948 wurde Auden für Zeitalter der Angst (The Age of Anxiety) von 1947 mit dem Pulitzerpreis gewürdigt. Inspiriert von diesem Werk komponierte Leonard Bernstein seine gleichnamige Sinfonie. W. H. Auden starb am 29. September 1973 in Wien.

Air policing was used in many colonial possessions, but its most effective incidence occurred in the crescent of territory from north-eastern Africa, through South-West Arabia, to North West Frontier of India. This book talks about air policing and its role in offering a cheaper means of 'pacification' in the inter-war years. It illuminates the potentialities and limitations of the new aerial technology, and makes important contributions to the history of colonial resistance and its suppression. Air policing was employed in the campaign against Mohammed bin Abdulla Hassan and his Dervish following in Somaliland in early 1920. The book discusses the relationships between air control and the survival of Royal Air Force in Iraq and between air power and indirect imperialism in the Hashemite kingdoms. It discusses Hugh Trenchard's plans to substitute air for naval or coastal forces, and assesses the extent to which barriers of climate and geography continued to limit the exercise of air power. Indigenous responses include being terrified at the mere sight of aircraft to the successful adaptation to air power, which was hardly foreseen by either the opponents or the supporters of air policing. The book examines the ethical debates which were a continuous undercurrent to the stream of argument about repressive air power methods from a political and operational perspective. It compares air policing as practised by other European powers by highlighting the Rif war in Morocco, the Druze revolt in Syria, and Italy's war of reconquest in Libya.
Der Arzt John Dolittle lebt in dem kleinen Städtchen Puddleby-on-the Marsh, mit den Menschen kommt er nicht gut zurecht. Mit Tieren ist das ganz anders, selbst dem kranken Krokodil kann er helfen. Viele bleiben nach der Behandlung bei dem scheuen Doktor, suchen sich einen Platz im Garten oder im Haus, denn er beherrscht auch noch ihre Sprachen! Seiner griesgrämigen Schwester wird das alles zu viel, sie zieht aus. »Normale« Patienten kämen ohnehin nicht mehr in die Praxis… Als in Afrika eine neue und unheilbare Tierkrankheit ausbricht, beschließen er und seine treuen Freunde, trotz Geldmangels ein Schiff zu chartern und zu dem unbekannten Kontinent aufzubrechen, um den Tieren dort zu helfen! Hugh Loftings Kinderbuchklassiker von 1920 wurde für diese Ausgabe von Eike Schönfeld vollständig neu übersetzt. Und der große Tierzeichner Reinhard Michl hat »Doktor Dolittle« für die Insel-Bücherei kongenial illustriert. Eine prachtvolle Wiederentdeckung!

Zu den Geschichten, die sich als Mythos tief ins menschliche Gedächtnis eingeprägt haben und die immer noch gegenwärtig sind, gehört die von Prometheus: seinen Taten, seinem Leiden, seinem Nicht-sterben-Können. Als Suchbegriff im Internet eingegeben, finden sich unter ›Prometheus‹ weltweit 66.275 Seiten. Durch die Jahrhunderte haben sich vor allem die Künstler dieser Figur immer wieder angenommen – oder war es andersherum? Hat sich Prometheus der Künstler angenommen und ihnen die Möglichkeit gegeben, sich über ihn und seine Geschichte mitzuteilen? Die einundzwanzig Gedichte von Ted Hughes aus Prometheus auf seinem Felsen zeigen den Protagonisten bewegungsunfähig, festgehalten in einer ausweglosen, todesgleichen Situation – bis er verstanden hat, was ihm geschieht, und er das Unausweichliche annimmt. Nun erst kann er sich lösen, ist wiedergeboren und geheilt. In einer englisch-deutschen Ausgabe, mit den Übertragungen von Jutta Kaußen und einem eigens für diesen Band gemalten Bilderzyklus von Eva Clemens, wird der Prometheus des großen englischen Lyrikers, 1973 in einer limitierten und raren Ausgabe erschienen, nun auch dem deutschen Publikum zugänglich.
