Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013Joan of Arc
La pucelle
by Craig Taylor
This sourcebook collects together for the first time in English the major documents relating to the life and contemporary reputation of Joan of Arc. Also known as La Pucelle, she led a French Army against the English in 1429, arguably turning the course of the war in favour of the French king Charles VII. The fact that she achieved all of this when just a seventeen-year-old peasant girl highlights the magnitude of her achievements and also opens up other ways of looking at her story. For many, Joan represents the voice of ordinary people in the fifteenth century; the victims of high politics and warfare that devastated France. Her story ended tragically in 1431 when she was put on trial for heresy and sorcery by an ecclesiastical court and was burned at the stake. This book shows how the trial, which was organised by her enemies, provides an important window into late medieval attitudes towards religion and gender, as Joan was effectively persecuted by the established Church for her supposedly non-conformist views on spirituality and the role of women. Presented within a contextual and critical framework, this book encourages scholars and students to rethink this remarkable story. It will be invaluable reading for those working in the fields of medieval society and heresy, as well as the Hundred Years' War.

The ArtsJanuary 2019The war that won't die
The Spanish Civil War in cinema
by David Archibald
The war that won't die charts the changing nature of cinematic depictions of the Spanish Civil War. In 1936, a significant number of artists, filmmakers and writers - from George Orwell and Pablo Picasso to Joris Ivens and Joan Miró - rallied to support the country's democratically-elected Republican government. The arts have played an important role in shaping popular understandings of the Spanish Civil War and this book examines the specific role cinema has played in this process. The book's focus is on fictional feature films produced within Spain and beyond its borders between the 1940s and the early years of the twenty-first century - including Hollywood blockbusters, East European films, the work of the avant garde in Paris and films produced under Franco's censorial dictatorship. The book will appeal to scholars and students of Film, Media and Hispanic Studies, but also to historians and, indeed, anyone interested in why the Spanish Civil War remains such a contested political topic.

Mind, Body, SpiritSHAMANISM
Personal Quests of Communion with Nature and Creation
by Oscar Miro-Quesada
Awaken Your Shamanic Soul Respected kamasqa curandero Oscar Miro-Quesada teaches shamanism as a tradition of healing, power, and wisdom that sees all life as interconnected and sacred. Understand the shamanic art of a noble death, becoming a hollow bone, traveling through the three worlds, and how to embrace the imaginal beauty of a living, sentient, and ever-evolving cosmos. Feel soul-animating moments with Creation itself as don Oscar and selected sacred storytellers share their transformative experiences. Cultivate spiritual discernment, learn how to consecrate your shamanic ceremonial space, practice an ancient Andean earth walk ritual, internalize the soul-nurturing beauty of Mother Earth with the Pachamama Renewal Process, work with the five principal animal allies of Universal Shamanism, and discover the loving grace that sparked the emergence of shamanism as a universal path of healing service. You must live the path to understand it. SHAMANISM is the medicine our world needs for seven generations and beyond.

June 1991Hermann Hesse in Augenzeugenberichten
Herausgegeben von Volker Michels
by Volker Michels
Wenige Autoren haben sich für die Wirkungen ihrer Bücher so verantwortlich gefühlt wie dieser Schriftsteller, der im Laufe seines Lebens nicht nur Zehntausende von Leserzuschriften beantwortet, sondern gewiß auch ebenso viele Besucher empfangen und sich ihrer Probleme angenommen hat. Einige von ihnen haben ihre Eindrücke auch schriftlich überliefert, Prominente wie Unbekannte. Sie kommen in diesem Band zu Wort und entwerfen uns Bilder von diesem Schriftsteller, die seinen Werdegang von der Jahrhundertwende bis ins hohe Alter begleiten. Neben Schilderungen von Autorenkollegen wie Romain Rolland, Max Brod, Hans Carossa, Ernst Penzoldt, Hilde Domin, Albrecht Goes, Wilhelm Schäfer, Hugo Ball, Bernhard von Brentano, R.J. Humm, Peter Weiss und vielen anderen, von Malern und Verlegern, stehen Berichte von Literaturwissenschaftlern und Journalisten, aber auch von Freunden, Schulkameraden und Hausangestellten. Sie alle tragen dazu bei, die Erinnerung an diesen Dichter lebendig zu halten für jene Generationen, in denen kein Augenzeuge mehr befragbar sein wird.

March 2019Magie der Farben
Aquarelle aus dem Tessin. Mit Betrachtungen und Gedichten
by Hermann Hesse, Volker Michels
Im Alter von 40 Jahren, mitten im Ersten Weltkrieg, hat Hermann Hesse zu malen begonnen. Es war ihm ein »Ausweg, um auch in bittersten Zeiten das Leben ertragen zu können« und um Distanz von der Literatur zu gewinnen. »Ich habe mein Malstühlchen in der Hand«, schreibt er 1920, »das ist mein Zauberapparat und Faustmantel, mit dessen Hilfe ich schon tausendmal Magie getrieben und den Kampf mit der blöden Wirklichkeit gewonnen habe.«Von manchen seiner Malausflüge im Tessin haben sich zusammenhängende Bilderfolgen und Aquarellalben erhalten. Aus einem dieser Alben von 1922 erscheint hier eine Folge seiner reizvollsten Arbeiten, aber auch Blätter aus späteren Jahren sind vertreten. Zusammen mit Hesses Betrachtungen über seine Malerei und Selbstzeugnissen aus seinen Briefen machen sie nachvollziehbar, dass Romain Rolland 1921 an Hesse schrieb: »Ich bin entzückt über Ihr Album mit Aquarellen. Sie sind saftig wie Früchte und anmutig wie Blumen. Es lacht einem das Herz dabei.«
