        Das alte Tibet

        Geheimnisse und Mysterien

        by Gerhardt W. Schuster

        Faszinosum Tibet. Was ist es, das dieses ferne Land gerade heute für viele Menschen aus dem Westen so anziehend macht? Die großartige Einsamkeit der Landschaft, das leuchtende Schneegebirge des Himalaya, die Exotik einer vielschichtigen fremden Kultur? Es ist viel mehr als das. Es ist die Ahnung, daß sich da jenseits der wolkenverhangenen Gipfel eine Lebensweise entwickelt und nahezu bis auf unsere Tage behauptet hat, die der westlichen diametral entgegengesetzt ist: Hier das nach außen orientierte, aktive Leben, dort das Bewußtsein, Teil einer kosmischen Ordnung zu sein, und ein auf Innenschau konzentriertes Leben.Gerhardt W. Schuster, promovierter Ethnologe und Tibetkenner, konfrontiert den Leser zunächst mit dem Weltbild des alten Tibet, um sodann eine leichtverständliche Einführung in das Lehrsystem des tantrischen Buddhismus zu geben. Augenzeugenberichte berühmter Tibetreisender sowie eigene Erlebnisse des Autors runden das Buch zu einer ebenso lebendigen wie umfassenden Darstellung einer kraftvollen archaischen Kultur, wie sie faszinierender nicht sein könnte.

        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.

        Karl Polanyi and twenty-first-century capitalism

        by Radhika Desai, Kari Polanyi Levitt

        As far right movements, social disintegration and international conflict emerge from the decay of the neoliberal order, Karl Polanyi's warnings against the unbridled domination of markets, is ever more relevant. The essays in Karl Polanyi for the 21st Century extend the boundaries of our understanding of Polanyi's life and work. They will interest Polanyi scholars and all interested in socialism and our future after neoliberalism. One asks whether, following Keynes and Hayek, Polanyi's ideas will shape the twenty-first century. Some clarify, for the meaning of money as a fictitious commodity. Others resolve difficulties in understanding the building blocks of Polanyi's thought: fictitious commodities, the double movement, the United States' exceptional development, the reality of society, and socialism as freedom in a complex society. And yes others explore how Polanyi sheds light on income inequality, world systems theory, comparative political economy.

        ein lilienweißer brief aus lincolnshire. gedichte aus 21 jahren

        herausgegeben und mit einem nachwort von gerald bisinger. mit einem porträt h.c. artmanns von konrad bayer

        by H. C. Artmann, Gerald Bisinger, Gerald Bisinger

        Dieser umfangreiche Band vereinigt über 450 Gedichte von Artmann und bringt zudem in einem Anhang die Gedichte, die Hannes Schneider aufgefunden hat, nachdem diese Sammlung 1969 erschienen war. Er enthält wohl seine sämtlichen Gedichte von den ersten, 1945, unter dem Pseudonym Ib Hansen geschriebenen, bis zum Zyklus ›Landschaften‹ – mit Ausnahme der reinen Dialektgedichte. Artmanns Gedichte sind zumeist spontan entstanden und dennoch von höchster formaler Artistik. Es gibt kaum methodische Versuche, die Artmann nicht unternommen hätte. In seinen Gedichten haben die konsequenten Sprachversuche der ›Wiener Gruppe‹ eine sehr individuelle Realisation gefunden. Artmann schreibt keine Bekenntnisgedichte, sein lyrisches Ich versteckt sich in hundertfacher Verkleidung. Mit unverkrampfter Leichtigkeit verfügt er über die formalen Möglichkeiten der Weltliteratur (oder jenes abseitigen Teils davon, den er als Tradition betrachtet), er erfindet Wörter, ganze Sprachen. Die Jahrhunderte sind in seinen Gedichten gleichzeitig vertreten, Robinson Crusoe steht neben Donald Duck, barocke Sprache neben Wiener Slang. »Wir haben meines Wissens zur Zeit im deutschen Sprachraum keinen Verwandlungskünstler ähnlichen Ausmaßes und verwandter Gescheitheit wie H. C. Artmann. …Er geht – mit Rilke zu reden – in der Tat ›in der Verwandlung aus und ein‹, … dies ist sein Geheimnis, seine eigentliche Gabe, das Singuläre seines Talentes.«

        The nineteenth-century present

        Literature, print culture and historicity

        by Koenraad Claes, Elizabeth Ludlow

        The Nineteenth-Century Present explores the multiple ways in which history was understood, structured, and reassessed in literary, theological, and political contexts across the nineteenth century. While the scope of the book is wide, ranging from the representations of geological time and ancient history to the writing of the recent past, and covering the work of writers from Walter Scott to G.K. Chesterton, each chapter reveals how present concerns intrude on and shape every view of history. Ultimately, the collection emphasises that issues raised regarding historicity in recent methodological debates were already concerns in the nineteenth century.

        Spain in the nineteenth century

        New essays on experiences of culture and society

        by Andrew Ginger, Geraldine Lawless

        The nineteenth-century Hispanic world was shattered to its core by war, civil war, and revolution. At the same time, it confronted a new period of European and North-American expansion and development. In these essays, authors explore major, dynamic ways that people in Spain envisaged how they would adapt and change, or simply continue as they were. Each chapter title begins with the words "How to...", and examines the ways in which Spaniards conceived or undertook major activities that shaped their lives. These range from telling the time to being a man. Adaptability, paradox, and inconsistency come to the fore in many of the essays. We find before us a human quest for opportunity and survival in a complex and changing world. This wide-ranging book contains chapters by leading scholars from the United States, United Kingdom, and Spain.

        The Best of H. C. Artmann

        by H. C. Artmann, Klaus Reichert

        Von allen deutschen Autoren, die nach 1945 zu schreiben begannen, ist Artmann ohne jeden Zweifel der vielseitigste, originellste und erfinderischste. So wie Artmann in fast allen Gattungen gearbeitet hat, auch den angeblich antiquierten, und ohne sich um die Tagesparolen der mal reine Dichtung betreibenden, mal engagierten, mal die Literatur totsagenden Kollegen zu kümmern, so hat er seine Quellen, seine Herkunft überall: in der Artusepik, in barocker Schäferpoesie, in den Wörterbüchern und Grammatiken von gut zwei Dutzend Sprachen, in Irland und im England des Sherlock Holmes, bei Villon und dem Wiener Vorstadtdialekt, Lorca, Gomez de la Serna, den Surrealisten und Dadaisten, in den Detektivheftchen der 20er Jahre und den Comic strips von damals bis heute. Unsere Auswahl versucht, nicht nur einen repräsentativen Querschnitt durch das Werk Artmanns zu geben, sondern gleichzeitig Verstreutes, an entlegensten Orten Publiziertes zu sammeln.

        The Pianoplayers

        by Anthony Burgess

        by Will Carr, Paul Wake, Andrew Biswell

        This novel is one of Anthony Burgess's most accessible and entertaining works. By turns bawdy, raucous, tender and bittersweet, and full of music and songs, this is a warm and affectionate portrait of the working-class Lancashire of the 1920s and 1930s that he knew from his own early life. The Pianoplayers is a funny, moving, autobiographical novel that brings to life the world of silent cinemas and music-halls of 1920s Manchester and Blackpool. Fully annotated and with a new introduction, this is an authoritative text for a new generation of readers. Part of the forthcoming Irwell Edition of the Works of Anthony Burgess, this book offers an opportunity to reappraise an unjustly neglected novel important to our understanding of Burgess's wider oeuvre. The 2017 Burgess centenary makes this a key moment for reflection on the life and work of a major figure in twentieth century letters.

        The Battle for Water

        In the century of drought

        by Jürgen Rahmig

        — Water as a reason for war and a political instrument of power — Unique overview of global water conflicts — Foreword by Wolfgang Ischinger Every year, droughts in African countries cause hundreds of thousands of deaths and much suffering. Europe also experienced drought in 2022's summer of record temperatures. Without water, there can be no life. More and more people are suffering from water shortages. Climate change is fuelling the distribution battles for water; violent conflicts over this precious resource are the order of the day. Whether the protests in Iraq, the war in Syria, in the Himalayas, the Nile conflict and in many other places, water is already a reason for war and is being misused as a political instrument of power. The construction of huge dams, the targeted closure of locks, river diversions, water and land grabbing bring wars over the "blue gold" with them. In a unique overview, journalist Jürgen Rahmig describes the struggle for water in the 21st century. Where do dangers lurk today; where will they be tomorrow, and how can we prevent wars over precious water?

        Erosion

        by Artem Chapeye

        After a young couple returns from their vacation to the Carpathian Mountains in Ukraine, they discover that the world as they once knew it no longer exists. Tragedy happened and survivors are forced to adapt to the harsh conditions of their new reality: overcoming deeply-rooted fears, they try to forge another world where they can unite with those who still retained their humanity. Will the couple be able to survive, make alliances with others, and give birth to a new generation? Will the insidiousness of human nature manifest itself in this new world? Chapeye's post-apocalyptic novel, diluted with beautifully melancholic and black humor, is a kind of artistic study of people's behavior in critical situations when everything that once seemed stable falls apart.
