        Der Tod im Exil

        Hermann Broch/Annemarie Meier-Graefe. Briefwechsel 1950–51

        by Hermann Broch, Annemarie Meier-Graefe, Paul Michael Lützeler

        »Seit langer Zeit empfinde ich so etwas wie Glück, und da kommt das schlechte Gewissen – denn sobald ich an Dich denke und an die Umstände, unter denen Du existierst, habe ich das instinktive, anerzogene oder angeborene Pflichtgefühl, ich hab da zu sein, wo Du bist.« Der Wunsch, wieder bei ihrem Ehemann zu sein, erfüllte sich für Annemarie Meier-Graefe indes nicht. Im Juni 1950 hatte sie das Passagierschiff »Queen Mary« nach Europa genommen. Hermann Broch wollte bald folgen. Zwei Jahre lebte das Ehepaar durch den Atlantik voneinander getrennt, dann stirbt Broch im amerikanischen Exil. Der Tod im Exil ist der bewegende Briefwechsel des in den USA innerlich vereinsamenden Autors Broch mit seiner wesentlich jüngeren Frau, die in Europa ihre Heimat wiederfindet und sich mit viel Energie und Lebensmut eine neue Existenz aufbaut. Nur selten finden die zwei Stimmen zu einem Gleichklang. Ihre Lebenserwartungen und Zukunftspläne erweisen sich als unvereinbar. Mit seinen Sehnsüchten, Befürchtungen, Vorwürfen und Hoffnungen ist dieser Briefwechsel auch ein beeindruckendes Zeitdokument der Jahre 1950/51 – Annemarie Meier-Graefes Berichte aus Frankreich und Deutschland lesen sich wie zeitkritische Feuilletons –, als die Folgen von Krieg und Holocaust noch überall sichtbar waren und in Korea eine neue Weltkrise begann.

        »Nun leb wohl! Und hab's gut«

        Briefe 1935-1959

        by Peter Suhrkamp, Annemarie Seidel, Wolfgang Schopf

        »Authentisch-biographisches Material« von Peter Suhrkamp galt bislang als »untergegangen«, wie seine ersten Biographen, Siegfried Unseld und Helene Ritzerfeld, konstatierten. Ein Irrtum, wie sich herausstellte: Denn es hat sich der Briefwechsel zwischen Suhrkamp und Annemarie Seidel erhalten, insgesamt 450 Briefe. Die Korrespondenz zwischen dem Verleger und der Schauspielerin, »Mirl« genannt, mit der er seit 1935 verheiratet war, erstreckte sich bis zum Tode Suhrkamps am 31. März 1959. Sie vermittelt zum ersten Mal einen unverstellten, detaillierten Eindruck seiner Person und seiner Arbeit. Die Dokumente zeigen, welche Kämpfe Peter Suhrkamp in den Anfangsjahren des »Dritten Reichs« als Leiter des S. Fischer Verlags mit der nationalsozialistischen Bürokratie ausfocht – und wie er unterlag; wie er im Konzentrationslager Sachsenhausen überlebte, wie er beim Neubeginn nach 1945 als Volkspädagoge in Gefangenenlagern auftrat, wie es zur Gründung des eigenen Verlags kam. Bislang kannte man Suhrkamps private Motive, seine Einstellungen zu Büchern und Autoren fast ausschließlich durch Zeugnisse Dritter. In diesen Briefen läßt Suhrkamp, selbst in unfreiesten Verhältnissen, seine Frau an all seinen Überlegungen teilhaben – und die beiden treten uns als Chronisten eines Vierteljahrhunderts deutscher Geschichte, Kultur und Literatur entgegen.

        8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS

        The Defining Issue of the 21st Century

        by Valorie M. Allen

        The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.

        Scottishness and Irishness in New Zealand since 1840

        by Angela McCarthy, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        This book examines the distinctive aspects that insiders and outsiders perceived as characteristic of Irish and Scottish ethnic identities in New Zealand. When, how, and why did Irish and Scots identify themselves and others in ethnic terms? What characteristics did the Irish and the Scots attribute to themselves and what traits did others assign to them? Did these traits change over time and if so how? Contemporary interest surrounding issues of ethnic identities is vibrant. In countries such as New Zealand, descendants of European settlers are seeking their ethnic origins, spurred on in part by factors such as an ongoing interest in indigenous genealogies, the burgeoning appeal of family history societies, and the booming financial benefits of marketing ethnicities abroad. This fascinating book will appeal to scholars and students of the history of empire and the construction of identity in settler communities, as well as those interested in the history of New Zealand.

        J. M. W. Turner

        The making of a modern artist

        by Sam Smiles, Alan Rutter

        Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the 1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers, by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the British Council and other bodies. ;
