        Ilias. Odyssee

        Zwei Bände im Schuber

        by Homer, Michael Schroeder, Karl Ferdinand Lempp

        Wer sich bisher nicht an Homer heranwagte, weil er sich durch die Versform oder die altertümliche Sprache der vorliegenden Übersetzungen abgeschreckt fühlte, kann in der Prosaübertragung von Karl Ferdinand Lempp die Ilias und die Odyssee als das erleben, was diese ältesten Dokumente der europäischen Literatur wirklich sind: fesselnde Romane. Die hier erstmals aus dem Nachlaß edierte Gesamtübersetzung von Karl Ferdinand Lempp befreit diese beiden zusammengehörigen Weltbücher, in denen der Krieg der Kriege und die Reise aller Reisen erzählt werden, von den Schlacken, die sich der antiken Vortragsform verdanken, und greift behutsam erklärend ein, wenn der Inhalt dem heutigen Leser nicht ohne weiteres verständlich ist. Ohne sprachliche Anbiederung präsentiert Lempp einen modernen und temporeichen Text, der den Zorn des Achill und die Irrfahrten des Odysseus so unmittelbar vor Augen führt, als wäre alles erst gestern geschehen.

        by Nicholas Tyacke, Peter Lake, Anthony Milton, Jason Peacey, Alexandra Gajda

        Santa Evita

        Roman

        by Tomás Eloy Martínez, Peter Schwaar

        Eva Perón starb 1952 im Alter von nur 33 Jahren; eine bombastische Zeremonie des langsamen Abschieds nahm ihren Lauf. Evita war eine aus der Provinz auf- und von der Leinwand herabgestiegene Göttin, eine lebende Heilige. Was jedoch nach ihrem Tode geschah, scheint jedes Maß der Verehrung zu sprengen: Ihr Leib wurde einbalsamiert, versteckt, gejagt, ging auf eine makabre Wanderschaft und wurde zum Objekt unglaublicher Intrigen und Obsessionen – mehr noch als Evita selbst. »›Santa Evita‹ hat mich von der ersten Seite an überwältigt – ich war gerührt, litt, genoß, eignete mir schändliche Laster an und verriet meine heiligsten Prinzipien. Wenn ein Roman es fertigbringt, einen Sterblichen mit festen Grundsätzen und strengen Gewohnheiten zu derartigem Unfug zu verleiten, dann kann es keinen Zweifel geben: Er gehört entweder verboten, oder er muß unverzüglich gelesen werden.« »Mario Vargas Llosa« »Hier ist endlich der Roman, den ich immer lesen wollte.« »Gabriel García Márquez«

        The empire in one city?

        Liverpool's inconvenient imperial past

        by Sheryllynne Haggerty, Andrew Thompson, Anthony Webster, John M. MacKenzie, Nicholas J. White

        From the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century, Liverpool was frequently referred to as the 'second city of the empire'. Yet, the role of Liverpool within the British imperial system and the impact on the city of its colonial connections remain underplayed in recent writing on both Liverpool and the empire. However, 'inconvenient' this may prove, this specially-commissioned collection of essays demonstrates that the imperial dimension deserves more prevalence in both academic and popular representations of Liverpool's past. Indeed, if Liverpool does represent the 'World in One City' - the slogan for Liverpool's status as European Capital of Culture in 2008 - it could be argued that this is largely down to Merseyside's long-term interactions with the colonial world, and the legacies of that imperial history. In the context of Capital of Culture year and growing interest in the relationship between British provincial cities and the British empire, this book will find a wide audience amongst academics, students and history enthusiasts generally.

        A book of monsters

        Promethean horror in modern literature and culture

        by David Ashford

        This books traces the rise to prominence in the twentieth-century of a sub-genre of gothic fiction that is, emphatically, a horror of enlightenment rationality rather than gothic darkness, examining post-modern revisions of Modernist "Promethean" tropes in an eclectic range of gothic, fantasy and SF writing. Whether the subject be terror of London's churches in the psychogeographical fiction of Iain Sinclair and Alan Moore, the Orcs in the linguistic fantasies of J.R.R. Tolkien, King Kong, killer-computers, or demon-children in post-war British science-fiction, A Book of Monsters offers illuminating perspectives on the darker recesses of the post-modern imagination, setting out a compelling, and comprehensive, overview on our contemporary unconscious.

        Journey in Trumplandia: The Rise of Populism in America

        by Tiberiu Dianu

        The book is a collection of essays about the transformation of America, which has turned from a united nation to one more divided than ever. Some pundits predict that, if things don’t change, another civil war could occur. Have we reached a point of no return? Hopefully, America is mature enough to learn from its mistakes and avoid further scars along its evolving history. "Trumplandia is a welcome addition toward understanding current events, Washington’s international policy, and the present American society; a society polarized and divided as it has not been since the Civil War.” NICHOLAS DIMA, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor and Research Associate, Nelson Institute, James Madison University, Virginia. "The book is fascinating. It provides background to, and insights into [the] current and past political history as well as offering a personal view... of the country and society. Presented in thematic form in chapters and sections, the insights offered provide a suggestive radiography...” Dr. DENNIS DELETANT, OBE, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington DC. "There has been this backsliding in... what a truly functioning rule-of-law state is, that has proper separation of co-equal powers, which, if you don’t keep working on that, you backslide. And I am even worried about that here, in the United States right now, about backsliding.” OBIE MOORE, Esq., OLM Advisors LLC, Washington DC “Indeed, Trumplandia should be a welcome addition to any scholar, student or layman’s library, especially in its international edition. If anyone loses sleep over its challenging assertions, then it will have been well worth it.” ERNESTO MORALES HIZON, Ph.D. Candidate in American and Comparative Politics at Claremont Graduate University, Member, Integrated Bar of the Philippines ABOUT THE AUTHOR: TIBERIU DIANU has practiced law in Romania (as a corporate lawyer, judge, senior counselor at the Ministry of Justice, university professor and senior legal researcher), and in the United States (as a legal expert for the judiciary). He published several books and a host of articles in law, politics, and post-communist societies. Tiberiu currently lives and works in Washington, DC.

        Conga Line on the Amazon

        by David Myles Robinson

        David Myles Robinson was eight years old when he first got hooked on travel. Since then, he’s seen most of the world—all its continents plus, he laments, “far too many places where travel is now off-limits.”After a lifetime of visiting near and far, in heat and in cold, in comfort and in danger, Robinson has put it all together now in this unique collection of the varied travel adventures he’s found—and the lessons he’s learned from them. A Fellini-esque view of the Amazon, a Mercedes caravan to Istanbul, Jane Goodall's amazing chimps—just part of a travel trunk full of experiences guaranteed to keep you seesawing from “Boy, I'd love to do that" to “Sure glad it was him, not me.”In Conga Line on the Amazon, Robinson brings to his first travel book the same gift for intriguing narrative and sharp characterization that has won praise for his six highly successful novels. Some of his tales may be for the strong of heart, but they’re all for the reader with a yen to be entertained by one intrepid man’s adventures and misadventures exploring the strange and wonderful world we live in.
