        Nachdenken über Christa T.

        Roman

        by Christa Wolf, Sonja Hilzinger

        Die Erzählerin in diesem Roman denkt über die widersprüchliche Persönlichkeit und den schwierigen Lebensweg ihrer jung gestorbenen Freundin Christa T. nach. Sensibel für die Nichtübereinstimmung, die Diskrepanz zwischen dem Faktischen und dem utopischen Anspruch des Sozialismus, suchte Christa T. nach Wegen, das, was ist, und das, was werden soll, zusammenzubringen – und machte dabei die schmerzhafte Erfahrung, daß der Riß der Zeit durch sie selbst geht. Aus den nachgelassenen Aufzeichnungen der Christa T., der eigenen Erinnerung und Erfindungen entwirft die Erzählerin ein vielschichtiges, beunruhigendes und faszinierendes Bild der Freundin: »… Daß die Zweifel verstummen und man sie sieht. Wann, wenn nicht jetzt?« Nachdenken über Christa T., erschienen 1968, gehört zu den modernen Klassikern der deutschen Literatur. Dieser Roman begründete Christa Wolfs Weltruhm.

        Nachdenken über Christa T.

        by Christa Wolf

        Nachdenken über Christa T. begründete den Weltruhm Christa Wolfs und gehört zu den wichtigsten Werken der deutschsprachigen Nachkriegsliteratur. Mit nur 36 Jahren stirbt Christa T. an Leukämie. Ihre ehemalige Schulkameradin und Studienfreundin erinnert sich an sie: an eine Frau, die der Forderung nach Anpassung ihre Phantasie, ihr Gewissen und vor allem ihre Sehnsucht nach Selbstverwirklichung entgegensetzt.

        Sport in the Black Atlantic

        Cricket, Canada and the Caribbean diaspora

        by Janelle Joseph. Series edited by John Horne

        This book outlines the ways sport helps to create transnational social fields that interconnect migrants dispersed across a region known as the Black Atlantic: England, North America and the Caribbean. Many Caribbean men's stories about their experiences migrating to Canada, settling in Toronto, finding jobs and travelling involved some contact with a cricket and social club. This book offers a unique contribution to black diaspora studies through showing sport as a means of allaying the pain of ageing in the diaspora, creating transnational social networks and marking ethnic boundaries on a local scale. The book also brings black diaspora analysis to sport research, and through a close look at what goes on before, during and after cricket matches provides insights into the dis-unities, contradictions and complexities of Afro-diasporic identity in multicultural Canada. It will be of interest to students and scholars in sociology, sport studies and black diaspora studies.

        Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic since 1917

        by David Featherstone, Christian Høgsbjerg, Alan Rice

        Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic brings to light the life histories of a wide range of radical figures whose political activity in relation to the black liberation struggle was profoundly shaped by the global impact and legacy of the Russian Revolution of October 1917. The volume introduces new perspectives on the intellectual trajectories of well-known figures and critical activists including C. L. R. James, Paul Robeson, Walter Rodney and Grace P. Campbell. This biographical approach brings a vivid and distinctive lens to bear on how racialised social and political worlds were negotiated and experienced by these revolutionary figures, and on historic black radical engagements with left political movements, in the wake of the Russian Revolution.

        The Red and the Black

        The Russian Revolution and the Black Atlantic

        by David Featherstone, Christian Høgsbjerg

        The Russian Revolution of 1917 was not just a world-historical event in its own right, but also struck powerful blows against racism and imperialism, and so inspired many black radicals internationally. This edited collection explores the implications of the creation of the Soviet Union and the Communist International for black and colonial liberation struggles across the African diaspora. It examines the critical intellectual influence of Marxism and Bolshevism on the current of revolutionary 'black internationalism' and analyses how 'Red October' was viewed within the contested articulations of different struggles against racism and colonialism. Challenging European-centred understandings of the Russian Revolution and the global left, The Red and the Black offers new insights on the relations between Communism, various lefts and anti-colonialisms across the Black Atlantic - including Garveyism and various other strands of Pan-Africanism. The volume makes a major and original intellectual contribution by making the relations between the Russian Revolution and the Black Atlantic central to debates on questions relating to racism, resistance and social change.

        T. Shevchenko. Life in art

        by Dmytro Stus, Tetyana Chuiko, Anastasia Morozova, Yulia Shilenko

        Of course, the fate of the artist was formed in a certain way because he realized his vocation - to be a poet. On the other hand, he lived his life as a professional artist. After graduating from the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, T. Shevchenko worked as an artist in the Temporary Commission for the consideration of ancient acts (Kyiv Archaeographic Commission), applied for the position of drawing teacher at the University of St. Volodymyr in Kyiv. And when his plans were broken by arrest, then in exile, despite the strict imperial ban on writing and drawing, the artist was able to work in his specialty, although not officially. Shevchenko devoted the last years of his life to the development of etching, having received the title of academician in engraving. The publication consists of two parts. The first is devoted to the works of the artist, made in graphic techniques, as well as sepia and watercolor. Given the fact that there are few oil paintings in the artist's works, we singled them out in the second part, trying to break stereotypes about their perception. Each section of the first part is devoted to a separate genre, which was addressed by T. Shevchenko. The largest of the sections are divided into thematic headings, which allows you to see the works of the artist from a new, perhaps unexpected, angle. In turn, the commentary to each work contains a brief history of creation (places, circumstances, relationships, etc.) and artistic characteristics that reveal the performing skills of the author. In addition, an important addition is the part of the commentary "Interesting" and quotes from the novels, Diary, correspondence of the artist, memoirs of his contemporaries. You can start your acquaintance with the publication from any section or even heading. Traveling through Shevchenko's paintings on separate routes you will have a complete rich journey through the original world of the artist.

        T wie Tessa - Plötzlich Geheimagentin (Band 1)

        by Frauke Scheunemann

        T for Tessa - Suddenly Secret Agent (Vol. 1) T for Tessa and top secret! The first volume of a new secret agent series combines coolness, a touch of romance, and a ton of humor as Tessa trips into her first detective case. Together with her Mongolian gerbil Hector, a talking sidekick, Tessa soon turns into a real top-notch agent. Of course, she still retains her chaotic nature, which makes for a lot of situation comedy.   Extremely shy and clumsy – it’s no wonder Tessa would rather be someone else. Like a member of Gimme Four, for example, the super famous girl group at her school. Then the unimaginable happens: Tessa passes the audition and makes it into the band! But it’s not exactly what she thought it would be. The rehearsals are disrupted by sketchy fans, wild chases at night, and ruthless mafiosi. And Tessa’s new band mates seem to have other hobbies besides music. Or how else would you explain the weapons in the instrument cases?

        Tristan und Isolde

        Roman

        by Joseph Bédier, Rudolf G. Binding

        Seit vielen Jahrhunderten hat das durch einen Zaubertrick unlöslich ineinander verstrickte Liebespaar die Phantasie der Menschen beschäftigt. Aus den vielfachen französischen und deutschen Überlieferungen der Tristan-Sage hat der Romanist an der Sorbonne Joseph Bédier, ohne die alten Formen des Denkens und Fühlens mit modernen Auffassungen zu vermengen, diese Nacherzählung geschaffen. Die Holzschnitte dieser Ausgabe sind der von Anton Sorg in Augsburg im Jahre 1484 gedruckten »Historie von Tristan und Isolde« entnommen. Joseph Bédier schreibt in einer Anmerkung zu seinem Buch: »Ich habe in diesem Buch versucht, jegliche Vermischung des Alten und Modernen zu vermeiden. Die Unstimmigkeiten, die Anachronismen, die falschen Ausschmückungen auszumerzen … Niemals unsere modernen Auffassungen mit den alten Formen des Denkens und Fühlens zu vermengen: Das war mein Vorwurf, meine Arbeit und, ohne Zweifel, ach! meine Chimäre. Mein Text aber ist weither zusammengekommen, und wenn ich meine Quellen im einzelnen angeben wollte, müßte ich an den Fuß der Seiten eine solche Menge von Noten setzen, daß sie das kleine Buch belasteten und überwucherten.«

        Hermann Hesse

        Dichter, Sucher, Bekenner. Biographie

        by Joseph Mileck, Jutta Knust, Theodor A. Knust, Joseph Mileck

        Joseph Mileck, der Verfasser der bislang vollständigsten, zweibändigen Hesse-Bibliographie, sagt über seine Hesse-Biographie: »Bei meinem Unterfangen ging es mir in erster Linie darum, den Menschen Hesse und seine Gedankenwelt zu zeigen, seine Schriften nach Gehalt und Gestalt zu kennzeichnen und die Aufmerksamkeit auf die enge Beziehung zwischen seinem Leben und seinem Werk zu lenken. Mein Ziel war es, den eigentlichen Hesse darzustellen, und nicht, mir einen Hesse vorzustellen, seine Werke so zu verstehen, wie er sie selber verstand, und nicht so, wie ich sie lieber verstanden hätte, und den schöpferischen Prozeß bei ihm ein wenig zu beleuchten.« Seine Studien belegen, wie eng Leben und Werk Hesses ineinandergreifen und wie hilfreich und notwendig es ist, beide gleichzeitig zu betrachten, um zu einer haltbaren Interpretation zu kommen. Damit ein möglichst umfassendes Bild des Autors entsteht, nimmt Mileck alle fiktionalen und autobiographischen Schriften Hesses in den Blick: also neben den Romanen, Gedichten und Erzählungen auch die politischen wie literarischen Aufsätze, Briefe, Tagebücher und Gedenkblätter.

        by Frauke Scheunemann

        T for Tessa - Codeword Lotus Flower (Vol. 2) From Hamburg Harbour to Rotterdam - Tessa topsecret!Shooting training, karate, heart palpitations and band rehearsals - Tessa Neumann's comfortable life has finally come to an end since she "accidentally" became an agent of the internationally operating secret service R.I.N.G. Now she's out to put a stop to the masterminds of organized crime.And it’s Tessa's first mission to be involved from the very beginning! Quite stressful but usually absolutely okay, if not now of all times Timo Erhardt, the crush of her sleepless nights, would show interest in her. How can fate throw such lousy timing at her? Actually, Tessa would really like to take a break, but evil never sleeps, as we all know. The scene of the crime in this mission is the port of Hamburg. Here, the customs investigation has uncovered 16 tons of cocaine in the container of a cargo ship. A remarkable catch! But one thing soon becomes clear to Tessa, her band mates and the Mongolian gerbil Hector: the real culprits are not in Hamburg, but in Rotterdam. There a cat-and-mouse game begins, in which the girls have to show what they are made of. With their combined forces, they manage to lure the criminals into a trap so that the Dutch police can arrest them. But mousy Hector discovers that drugs are not the only commodity being smuggled across Europe via Rotterdam: In fact, one of the smugglers is also dealing in exotic animals, animals listed as Endangered Species, so they can't be imported. But be assured, Hector wouldn't be Hector if he didn't do everything he could to save the animals!

        A complexity theory of literature

        by Lydia R. Cooper

        Combining the fields of evolutionary economics and the humanities, this book examines McCarthy's literary works as a significant case study demonstrating our need to recognise the interrelated complexities of economic policies, environmental crises, and how public policy and rhetoric shapes our value systems. In a world recovering from global economic crisis and poised on the brink of another, studying the methods by which literature interrogates narratives of inevitability around global economic inequality and eco-disaster is ever more relevant.
