        Der große Gatsby

        by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Reinhard Kaiser

        New York in den 'Goldenen Zwanzigern': Man tanzt Charleston und Black Bottom und begeistert sich für Duke Ellington und Louis Armstrong. Der geheimnisumwitterte Jay Gatsby hat alles, was man mit Geld kaufen kann, und führt ein Leben im Überfluß. Die rauschenden Feste auf seinem märchenhaften Anwesen auf Long Island sind berühmt und ein beliebter Treffpunkt der New Yorker High-Society. Dennoch ist Gatsby ein Einzelgänger, der zurückgezogen lebt. Niemand weiß etwas über seine Herkunft oder welchen dubiosen Geschäften er seinen Reichtum verdankt. Die Geschichte von Jay Gatsby, dem einsamen Millionär, der seiner längst verlorenen Liebe nachjagt, ist einer der größten und meistgelesenen Klassiker der amerikanischen Literatur. F. Scott Fitzgerald, der Dichter der 'Roaring Twenties', erzählt von der Glamourwelt der Reichen und von der Oberflächlichkeit und Sinnlosigkeit des mondänen Lebens. In der glanzvollen Neuübersetzung von Reinhard Kaiser ist dieser Roman neu zu entdecken - in seiner Dramatik, seiner Tragik, seiner Eleganz und nicht zuletzt auch in seiner Komik.

        Collaboration and interdisciplinarity in the Republic of Letters

        Essays in honour of Richard G. Maber

        by Paul Scott

        The Republic of Letters emerged during the seventeenth century as a concept to describe the interaction between scholars across Europe and beyond. While the concept was an imaginary one, it was firmly grounded in a reality of close circles of interaction between intellectuals, which had always existed but which was now endowed with a renewed sense of collaboration and participation within this community without barriers of statehood or creed. These fifteen essays explore differing aspects of collaboration and interdisciplinarity in the context of the radical change in mindset that the emergence of the Republic of Letters had fostered. Essays deal with French and English theatre, travel writing, the identity of the woman writer, the nature and function of gossip, scholarly interaction, and political and theological ideologies. The concluding essay provides a synthesis of the nature of seventeenth-century scholarship. The volume offers new insights into the mechanisms and workings of the Republic of Letters and charters the transition of scholarly pursuit being classified, even by some scholars themselves, as a solitary and sometimes pedantic pursuit to the notion of a network of ideas and interchange. This self-identification with a transnational league which knew no limits of geography, resources, gender or class marks a radical transition in the history of ideas and was to have far-reaching consequences, solidly preparing the way for the Enlightenment.
