        Henry V

        by James Loehlin

        This study examines the profound changes that twentieth-century performance has wrought on Shakespeare's complex drama of war and politics. What was accepted at the turn of the century as a patriotic celebration of a national hero has emerged in the modern theatre as a dark and troubling analysis of the causes and costs of war. The book details the theatrical innovations and political insights that have turned one of Shakespeare's most traditional-bound plays into one of his most popular and provocative. Henry V gives details analyses of several important modern productions. Beginning with a consideration of the play's political significance in Elizabethan London, the book goes on the reveal its subsequent reinvention, both as patriotic pageant and anti-war manifesto. Individual chapters consider important productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company, and other British and North American companies, as well as the landmark film versions. A compelling account of the theatrical revolution that has transformed one of Shakespeare's most challenging plays. ;

        The Girl with a Teddy Bear. Doctor Seraficus

        by V. Domontovych

        This book contains two of the most famous works of V. Domontovych. One of them is an engaging and somewhat extravagant novel The Girl with a Teddy Bear that describes the love of a sagacious teacher and his rebellious student. The novel is also a brilliant example of intellectual prose about the changing cultural orientations and the tragic personal conflict of a person destined to live in the time of change. The second one is Doctor Seraficus. It is the story of a strange and infantile ascetic professor who preaches a peculiar sort of “Don Juanism in reverse”: the desire to love all women and denounce all of them simultaneously.

        Thirst for Music

        by V. Domontovych

        A secret agent of Soviet intelligence and a bohemian modernist, a Berlin-based professor and theologian, a man in a German officer’s uniform, and a recluse archeologist studying Trypillian culture — should someone write a fictionalised biography of Viktor Petrov, such a book would be no less than a page-turning spy novel. But while the government archives refuse to provide information about this extraordinary person, a new edition of Domontovych’s works opens up his world for readers. The book reflects describes the dramatic contrast of the time he lived in, raging emotions and lurking passions. Vincent van Gogh and Goethe, Rainer Maria Rilke and Vaclav Rzhevsky come to life in this novel. V. Domontovych's literary texts are vivid examples of twentieth-century intellectual prose that fascinate readers today.

        Der Einfall der Geister

        Roman | Ein Meisterwerk Schwarzen Erzählens

        by Randall Kenan, Eva Bonné, Aminata Cissé

        Die Schuld austreiben, das ist der Plan, als Horace in einer Frühlingsnacht in den Garten seines Großvaters hinaustritt. Ein Ritual soll Horace befreien. Von den Erwartungen, die seine Familie an ihn und seine Begabung stellt, von den rasenden Gedanken, vom Begehren, das ihn Mitte der Achtziger in dieser Schwarzen Baptistengemeinde im Süden alles kosten kann. Doch die Befreiung missglückt, und Horace, getrieben von den erlittenen Ungerechtigkeiten aus Hunderten von Jahren, irrt gefährlich durch die Nacht. Bis ein anderer Mann aus seiner Familie, am Glauben verzweifelt wie er, dem berechtigten Wahnsinn Einhalt gebieten will … Entdeckt von Toni Morrison, als sein Jünger mit James Baldwins Nachlass betraut, so stand Randall Kenan 1989 nach Erscheinen seines Romans an der Spitze der nachfolgenden Generation, einsam und zu früh. Mehr als dreißig Jahre mussten vergehen, damit Der Einfall der Geister international gefeiert werden kann, als ein Meisterwerk Schwarzen Erzählens, über die Gefahren der Erlösung, über Wünsche, die an Grenzen stoßen.

        Mary Kelly

        Projects, 1973–2010

        by Edited by Dominique Heyes-Moore

        Mary Kelly, we are told, was not a feminist artist, but a feminist who made art. Designed to accompany a major retrospective at the Whitworth Art Gallery, this book contains essays and interviews which show the implications of that distinction and also the legacy of feminists and feminism in relation to art. Challenging and beautiful, Kelly's artworks address questions of sexuality, identity and historical memory in the form of large-scale narrative installations. The works are agilely discussed in contributions by some of the luminary feminist art scholars of our time, including Janet Wolff, Laura Mulvey, Carol Mavor and Amelia Jones, making this collection an essential new text in the discourse on art, feminism, psychoanalysis and representation.
