Das Glück kommt zu denen, die es

Das Glück kommt zu denen, die es erwarten

Die besten Zitate von Thomas Mann

A new compass for global reading: looking at the world from the far southern latitudes A northern viewpoint is most often the default, while the south—the far southern latitudes occupied by Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and southern Africa, among others—seems far away and ignorable. In Southern Imagining, Elleke Boehmer offers an alternative perspective, using literary, scientific and cultural material to explore how we look at the world from the south. Reading, she argues, is a transformative means of reversing our usual planetary perspective and rearranging our perceptual geography. Boehmer examines writing from across southern continents and islands, considering how we imaginatively inhabit the farthest reaches of our planet. Writers ranging from the Portuguese epic poet Luís de Camöes to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Charles Darwin, Katherine Mansfield, Jorge Luis Borges and ancient Indigenous scribes, Boehmer finds, capture the edgy and austere experiences of the far south. Boehmer argues that imaginative work stimulates and shapes our phenomenological understanding. Southerners often see themselves as if far away from where things count, as outsiders, internalising the wider global sense of their relative insignificance. Conversely, when northerners read or hear legends, narratives, songs and poems from the south, it is as if they are located in the south, at least for the duration of the reading or listening. Boehmer suggests that the south-tilted world map, re-centred through song and story, invites us to claim a more involved sense of belonging to our planet, both its north and its south. The writers of the south disrupt conventional ways of seeing and invite us to inhabit our globe differently.

A Literary and Cultural History of the Far Southern Hemisphere

Southern Imagining

What if joy isn't something you have to wait for, but something you can choose? Based on the latest research and insights from psychology and neuroscience, The Joy Instinct is a step-by-step guide on how to expand our capacity for joy. Readers will discover their signature joys-the most effective ways to find their ideal balance of exhilaration, renewal, and connection. They'll develop the ability to help others experience more joy. And they'll learn how to put joy in service of what matters most-as a resource in hard times, and as fuel for pursuing their most meaningful goals. You can choose how you respond to life's challenges, and you can harness the best in human nature. Joy is a fundamental human strength, and it is possible to experience joy even when life is difficult. The Joy Instinct is more than a book about happiness. It is a revolutionary reminder that joy is within reach, and a detailed, usable roadmap to the joy we all seek.

Routledge Critical Thinkers

Students in literary studies frequently come across Plato, Aristotle and Longinus, either directly through their names and concepts or indirectly, in the work of writers and theorists responding to them. Eaglestone argues that while great thinkers of antiquity may seem far away, their ideas still shape how we think about literature and culture even today. Contemporary examples illustrate the meaning of the original texts and highlight their continuous relevance.

This Routledge Critical Thinker is an introduction to the literary thought of three major classical thinkers: Plato, Aristotle and Longinus. Students in literary studies frequently come across Plato, Aristotle and Longinus, either directly through their names and concepts or indirectly, in the work of writers and theorists responding to them. Eaglestone argues that while great thinkers of antiquity may seem far away, their ideas still shape how we think about literature and culture even today. Contemporary examples illustrate the meaning of the original texts and highlight their continuous relevance.Including an annotated bibliography this guide offers a literary introduction to these classical thinkers and is ideal for Literature students studying theory and criticism.

Classical Philosophers on Literature

Thomas Bernhard zählt zu den meistkommentierten deutschsprachigen Schriftstellern: Ob in Zeitungen, wissenschaftlichen Periodika, als Dissertation oder als Gesamtdarstellung, als biografische Versuche oder fotografische Teilansichten - unter allen Aspekten wird er Gegenstand mehr oder weniger kompetenter Analysen, und das weltweit. Die Monografie bietet in Bildern und Texten zum ersten Mal gleichermaßen verlässliche wie überraschende Einsichten in das Werk und dessen Entstehungsbedingungen, vermittelt völlig unbekannte Aufschlüsse über sein Leben sowie fundierte Aussagen zur nationalen und internationalen Rezeption. Die Dokumente und Erklärungen sind für jedermann nachvollziehbar, kommen ohne germanistisches Gerede und Stereotypen aus. Dies ist möglich geworden, da den Herausgebern als bisher einzigen der gesamte Nachlass Thomas Bernhards zugänglich ist. Auf diese Weise sind spannende Einblicke in die Genese einzelner Werke möglich, der (nicht unbeträchtliche) Briefverkehr vermittelt Informationen über die Kontakte mit Kollegen, Kritikern und Freunden, wird die Mythisierung des Bernhard'schen Lebens durch den Autor wie durch sogenannte Zeitgenossen und Biografen durchleuchtet. Die Bildmonografie löst sich von der strikten chronologischen Darstellung. Sie verfolgt vielmehr in zwölf Kapiteln bestimmte Komplexe des Oeuvres durch die drei Jahrzehnte des Bernhard'schen Schaffens.

Entführt in die Unterwelt ...Ich hätte wissen müssen, dass es gefährlich ist, den Gott des Todes zu erzürnen. Kaum bin ich aus dem dunklen Labyrinth entkommen, werde ich an den nächsten gefährlichen Ort verschleppt: die Unterwelt. Ich habe nicht die geringste Absicht, freiwillig im Reich des Todes zu bleiben. Doch der Herr der Unterwelt macht mir ein verführerisches Angebot ...

Lady Hardcastle und der malerische Mord

Joss Marsh's stirring book traces the international phenomenon that is cinema's Dickens obsession, from its origins in Dickens's celebrity, through Dickens impact on the pioneers, first masters, and later innovators of the cinema and his enmeshment in the complex of technologies and cultural formations that made up the world of late-Victorian fantasy - from the photograph to the magic lantern, from celebrity to time travel.

As Joss Marsh observes in her stirring book on Dickens and cinema, Dickens was the first mass-mediated photographic celebrity of the modern era, more intimately "familiar" than any person in Britain besides the royal family. Suggesting Dickens's celebrity, as much as his work, contributed to the international phenomenon that is cinema's Dickens obsession, Marsh begins with  J. J. E. Mayall's famous celebrity portraits to trace Dickens's impact on the pioneers, first masters, and later innovators of the cinema. At the same time, Marsh uncovers a larger issue: to understand Dickens's place in cinema is to understand his enmeshment in the whole complex of technologies and cultural formations that made up the world of late-Victorian fantasy-from the photograph to the magic lantern, from celebrity to time travel.  Each of the six chapters unfolds a century-long cultural story that maps the Dickensian points of inspiration in the history of cinema. Marsh's cinematic geography of Dickensland transports the reader from Dickens's experiences with the early-Victorian portraitist's camera to Sunset Boulevard, Billy Wilder's remake of Great Expectations as a satire on the vampiric celebrity "celluloid self"; from actor-manager Martin-Harvey's 1899 manufacture of the "cast-iron" Victorian stage play to Dirk Bogarde's 1958 inheritance of the sacrificial gay role of Sydney Carton; from Charley Dickens Jnr.'s attempt to cash in on his father's knowledge of London to the history of production design as a medium of historical tourism and virtual experience; from Dickens's "impersonation" of Fagin, anti-Semitic and inherently theatrical, to the transformations of "the Jew" by Chaplin and David Lean and his musical apotheosis as magician and Pied Piper; from Dickens's 1868 return, in his last public reading, to the murder of Nancy to the contemporary slasher movie; and finally from the time travel enabled by the magic lantern's "dissolving views" through the role of Dickens's lantern-inspired Christmas tales of the 1840s in the lantern's development of pre-cinematic visual storytelling.  Informed by extensive archival research, deftly written, and beautifully illustrated, Joss Marsh's book shows film's fascination with Dickens was the trace of a persisting desire”fueled by decades of Dickensian impersonation and enabled by the medium's capacity to make still images live”to bring back the most extraordinary literary artist and personality of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries”to make Dickens live again.

Friedenauer Presse Wolffs Broschur

Der Medizinstudent Kolja wird nach revolutionären Umtrieben von der Universität in Kiew verwiesen und nach zwei Jahren Haft in die Aufsicht seiner Eltern in eine kleine Provinzstadt entlassen. Doch die turbulente Zeit in der Großstadt hat ihn verändert und eine Mauer der Entfremdung und des Unverständnisses zwischen ihm und den Bewohnern seiner Heimat errichtet. Das brodelnde Leben in der Metropole weicht einer ländlichen Monotonie, der hochtrabende Jugendeifer dem Wunsch nach der Bequemlichkeit des Beamtendaseins. Während die Mutter überglücklich ist, ihren geliebten Sohn unversehrt zurückzuhaben, bangt der Vater, der es in dem Städtchen zu einigem Ansehen gebracht hat, angesichts der Exzentrizitäten Koljas um seine Stellung und versucht immer wieder, ihn zur Einsicht zu bewegen. Doch kann der junge Mann seine Ideale so einfach aufgeben?Mit großem psychologischen Feingefühl und leiser Komik vermittelt Jewgeni Tschirikow die lähmende Enge der Provinz und das tragische Dilemma von Liebe und Ehre. Die mitreißende Erzählung einer verhängnisvollen Heimkehr, die zeigt, wie das Beste zu wollen zum Schlimmsten führen kann.

The Fiction of Sarah Harriet Burney

Routledge Research in Gender and Art

A provocative letter from a prominent eighteenth-century British noblewoman, Henrietta Howard, to her close friend Mary Hervey is a rare survivor of the informal, collaborative satires created by court women in this period. This particular June 1729 artifact contains a witty and light-hearted list of imaginary portraits, most of which refer to a notable political figure through references to specific paintings, sculptures, engravings, ceramics, textiles and book illustrations. Through a close reading of archival manuscripts, published correspondences and art historical treatises, Eric Weichel explores the cultural milieu and historical legacy of this remarkable text. Constrained by strict standards of moral propriety, the writer's overt discussions of sexuality in this letter are encoded through a system of embedded jokes and mythological references. Weichel argues that through Lady Hervey's mention of popular works of art, such as the Hampton Court tapestry cartoons by Raphael, the 'Jupiter and Ganymede' motif in country house décor, or the illustrated fables of Jean de La Fontaine, she alludes specifically to her wider circle's knowledge of adultery, queerness, sexual violence, and divorce among their peer group. In her imaginary portraits, Hervey also shows an interest in feminist education and literature, political and religious patronage, and contemporary news events.
