        Ulysses

        by James Joyce

        Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904.[4][5] Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Leopold Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus, in addition to events and themes of the early 20th century context of modernism, Dublin, and Ireland's relationship to Britain. The novel imitates registers of centuries of English literature and is highly allusive.

        Ulysses

        Texte und Bilder

        by James Joyce, Mimmo Paladino, Bernd Klüser, Mimmo Paladino, Klaus Reichert, Bernd Klüser

        Schon 1984 schuf Mimmo Paladino vier großformatige Linolschnitte zu »Ulysses« von James Joyce. Zehn Jahre später hatte der 1948 in Paduli/Italien geborene Künstler erneut die Möglichkeit, sich diesem »Welt-Alltag einer Epoche« (Hermann Broch) zu widmen: Es entstanden 18 Radierungen, deren aufwendiger Blattgoldfond an frühe Miniaturen in Stundenbüchern erinnert und die sich respektvoll vor dem Werk des Schriftstellers verbeugen. Dennoch illustrieren die Radierungen nicht bloß, sie erzählen auch ihre eigene Odysseus-Geschichte. Ihnen beigegeben sind ausgewählte Passagen aus dem »Ulysses«. Mimmo Paladino zählt zu den wichtigsten lebenden Künstlern Italiens; seine Werke wurden in zahlreichen Museen und Kunsthallen auf der ganzen Welt und auf den Biennalen in Paris, Sydney und Venedig sowie auf der Documenta in Kassel ausgestellt. Paladino lebt in Mailand und Paduli.

        Ulysses

        by Nicolas Mahler, James Joyce

        Dublin, 16. Juni 1904: ein Tag im Leben des Anzeigenakquisiteurs Leopold Bloom und die Sensationen des Gewöhnlichen – James Joyce hat aus einem Minimum an Stoff ein Maximum an Buch erschaffen: den Ulysses, den bedeutendsten Roman der Moderne, ein Jahrhundertwerk. Joyce' auch in formaler Hinsicht spektakuläre Schöpfung hat Nicolas Mahler zu einer Bilderzählung inspiriert, die keine bloße Illustration oder Adaption des Romans darstellt, sondern ein eigenständiges und ebenso erfindungsreiches wie witziges Werk. Mit den Mitteln des Comics werden hier die verschiedenen literarischen Techniken des Originals zeichnerisch verwandelt. Mahler montiert, zitiert und schwadroniert dabei ganz im Geiste von Joyce. Mit seiner Comic-Interpretation des modernen Klassikers, die zugleich eine Hommage an eine goldene Ära des Zeitungscomics darstellt, ist der Ulysses auf ungeahnte Weise ganz neu zu entdecken.

        1 Angel Square

        The Co-operative Group's new head office

        by Len Grant

        This book charts the building of 1 Angel Square, the remarkable new head office for The Co-operative Group in Manchester's new NOMA district. Combining text and photographs to illustrate the building from commissioning to completion, Len Grant has interviewed the whole project team - clients, architects, engineers, project managers and builders - and has had unreserved access to document the creation of this already award-winning structure. The design of 1 Angel Square by the architects 3DReid, is currently the UK's highest BREEAM (Building Research Establishment's Environmental Assessment Method) rated office building to date, and it is set to be one of the most sustainable buildings in Europe. 1 Angel Square, the book, is an intimate record of this fascinating building. Some of the impressive facts include: 3,157 internal and external window panels make up the façade; there are 10,500 data and power outlets; it sits on 539 foundation piles, with an average depth of 18 metres below ground; and there are approximately 22km of power cables. This book will be required reading for students of architecture and construction, sustainability studies and urban planning, and for those with an interest in the history of one of the world's great businesses. ;

        Regulatory Barriers to GM Crops

        by Grant E Isaac

        Genetically modified (GM) agricultural crops which are approved as safe in North America (Canada and the United States) are facing significant regulatory hurdles in gaining access to the European Union. The development and commercialization of GM crops illustrate a complex challenge facing trade diplomacy - the challenge of regulatory regionalism created by social regulatory barriers.
