A Game at Chess

Thomas Middleton

by T.H. Howard-Hill

For many years Middleton's "A Game at Chess" was more notorious than read, considered rather a phenomenon of theatrical history than a pre-eminent piece of dramatic writing. "A Game at Chess" was a nine days' wonder, an exceptional play of King James' reign on account of its unprecedented representation of matters of state usually forbidden on the stage. The King's Men performed the play uninterruptedly between 5th and 14th August, 1624 at their Globe Theatre, attracting large audiences, before the Privy Council closed the theatre by the King's command. More recently, growing interest in the connections of economics and politics with authorship have promoted readings that locate the play so firmly within its historical context as propaganda that, again, its worthwhile literary and theatrical qualities are neglected. In writing "A Game at Chess", Middleton employed the devices of the neoclassical comedy of intrigue within the matrix of the traditional oral play. What might have seemed old-fashioned allegory was rejuvenated by his adoption of the fashionable game of chess as the fiction within which the play was set. The product of Middleton's experienced craftsmanship is at once deceptively simple and surprisingly complex. ;

History of Ukraine from KGB Secret Files

by Volodymyr Viatrovych

The unknown and classified KGB history of the largest country in Europe - Ukraine is the history of people, events, documents and files. The files have answers to many questions. The most important of which - why did a war begin again in Europe? Why is it so important for Russia to conquer Ukraine? Why are Ukrainians putting up such a powerful resistance? Historian Volodymyr Viatrovych, who declassified the secret archives of the Soviet special services from the Cheka to the KGB, talks about the history of Ukraine, the USSR and Eastern Europe from 1918 to 1991. The reader, is offered, along with various heroes and traitors, those who thought they were in control of events, and those who thought they had no power over them, to recreate the nearly century-old chess game between the Ukrainian liberation movement and the creators of the "prison of nations." Described in reports and recreated by a historian, this work looks at the cunning “special operations”, deadly moves, information wars and complex games among several players that are all an attempt to find an answer to the question: what creates our destiny - human will or circumstances?

Leben wär eine prima Alternative

Tagebücher und Briefe

by Maxie Wander, Fred Wander

Im Sommer 1976 bestätigt sich der schlimme Verdacht: Maxie Wander leidet an Krebs und wird ein Jahr später daran sterben. Die vorliegende Sammlung von Tagebucheinträgen und Briefen ermöglicht es dem Leser, sie auf diesem Lebensabschnitt zu begleiten. Mit klarem Blick und scharfer Selbstironie schildert sie ihre Odyssee durch die Behandlungsräume verschiedener Ärzte, die Sprachlosigkeit im Angesicht der Krankheit und die Intensität, die das Leben bekommt, wenn es nicht länger selbstverständlich ist. Maxie Wander bezaubert auch in den schwärzesten Augenblicken mit ihrer Faszination für die kleinen Dinge des Lebens, mit ihrem Lebenswillen und mit ihrer Selbsterkenntnis: Leben wär eine prima Alternative. Ein Titel, der für Leserinnen und Leser in Ost und West zur Maxime wurde und ihre Aufzeichnungen zum Kultbuch machte.

Ein Leben ist nicht genug

Tagebuchaufzeichnungen und Briefe

by Maxie Wander, Fred Wander, Fred Wander

»Ein Leben reicht nicht aus, alle guten Bücher zu lesen, alle Menschen kennenzulernen, alle Länder, die ich sehen möchte.« Maxie Wanders Aufzeichnungen aus den Jahren 1964 bis 1968 beeindrucken: Ob sie gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann durch die französische Metropole streift, in billigen Hotels wohnt und das »berühmte Pariser Licht« entdeckt oder sich mit den alltäglichen Aufgaben zu Hause, mit den Kindern, den vielen Freunden, der eigenen Arbeit befaßt – ihr Thema ist die »Suche nach einer neuen Art zu leben, anders zu leben, aufrichtig und schöpferisch zu leben«, wie es im Vorwort von Fred Wander heißt. Maxie Wanders Briefe und Tagebuchnotizen zeichnen das Bild einer klugen, neugierigen, impulsiven Frau, die das Leben mit Leidenschaft betrieb.
