The first new biography of Eliot for over a decade - now in paperback.

Worthen J: T.S. Eliot

T.S. Eliot

A Short Biography

Zum ersten Mal wird das Leben und das Werk des Dichters Hermann Kükelhaus (1920 - 1944) in seiner ganzen Tiefe erzählt.
In einer einzigartigen Struktur - Werk und Biogräe eng miteinander verwoben - entfaltet sich das Bild eines Mannes, der in Sprache und Denken eine Heimat hatte. Von den Wurzeln seiner Familie bis zu seinem eigenen schöpferischen Wirken entsteht ein lebendiges, einfühlsames Porträt, das auf allen verfügbaren Quellen beruht. Seinem Bruder, dem Künstler, Denker und Gestalter Hugo Kükelhaus,verdanken wir zahlreiche Erinnerungen und Zeichnungen, die den Dichter vor und im Zweiten Weltkrieg lebendig werden lassen.
Albert Vinzens hat ein bewegendes Buch geschrieben über einen besonderen Menschen. Ein Buch über das Ringen mit dem Wort, über Glaube, Zweifel und die Kraft der Sprache, die selbst im Dunkel des Krieges Wärme zu spenden vermag.

Ein Dichter im Krieg

Hermann Kükelhaus

H.P. Lovecraft is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of modern horror fiction and a pervasive influence on popular culture. His monstrous creations have influenced the look of films such as Alien, Hellboy and even Pirates of the Caribbean, while his fiction has inspired authors as diverse as Robert Bloch, Clive Barker and Neil Gaiman. In this comprehensive new biography, Paul Roland examines the life and work of the man Stephen King called 'the 20th century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale', and reveals that Lovecraft's vision was a projection of his inner demons, his recurring nightmares and his inability to live in what he considered a hostile world.

The Curious Case of H. P. Lovecraft

Published posthumously in 1964, "A Moveable Feast" remains one of Hemingway's most beloved works. It is his classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s, filled with irreverent portraits of other expatriate luminaries and insightful recollections of his own early experiments with his craft.

Moveable Feast

“An enchanting double-helix biography . . . Contains enough mad capers, heaving proposals and dramatic death throes to be a veritable Harlequin romance for the literary set . . . It’s lacy and necessary filigree between the sober straight lines of history.” —Alexandra Jacobs, The New York Times Book Review

For fans of Nancy Mitford’s The Pursuit of Love, this is the real-life story of Celia and Mamaine Paget: “devoted twins, whose lives and loves traversed the intellectual currents and crises of mid-twentieth century Europe” (Rupert Christiansen). 

After Celia Goodman née Paget died in 2002, her daughter, Ariane Bankes, inherited a battered trunk stuffed with letters and diaries that belonged to Celia and her identical twin sister, Mamaine. This correspondence charted two remarkable lives spent amongst a dazzling cast of characters who were at the heart of their age, including Arthur Koestler, Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and George Orwell. 

Throughout a secluded childhood in the country with their widowed father, boarding school, and Swiss finishing school, the twins remained inseparable. As debutantes, they took 1930s London by storm, rejecting conventional suitors in favor of life together amongst the city’s bohemian intelligentsia. During the war and after, they were at the side of Europe’s foremost intellectuals—as coworkers, close friends, and lovers. 

This captivating memoir is an intimate portrait of a lost age and the male thinkers who dominated it, as seen through women’s eyes. Above all, it’s the tale of two devoted sisters, remarkable women both.

The Dazzling Paget Sisters

The long-awaited guide to writing long-form nonfiction by the legendary author and teacher Draft No. 4 is a master class on the writer's craft. In a series of playful, expertly wrought essays, John McPhee shares insights he has gathered over his career and has refined while teaching at Princeton University, where he has nurtured some of the most esteemed writers of recent decades. McPhee offers definitive guidance in the decisions regarding arrangement, diction, and tone that shape nonfiction pieces, and he presents extracts from his work, subjecting them to wry scrutiny. In one essay, he considers the delicate art of getting sources to tell you what they might not otherwise reveal. In another, he discusses how to use flashback to place a bear encounter in a travel narrative while observing that "readers are not supposed to notice the structure. It is meant to be about as visible as someone's bones." The result is a vivid depiction of the writing process, from reporting to drafting to revising-and revising, and revising. Draft No. 4 is enriched by multiple diagrams and by personal anecdotes and charming reflections on the life of a writer. McPhee describes his enduring relationships with The New Yorker and Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and recalls his early years at Time magazine. Throughout, Draft No. 4 is enlivened by his keen sense of writing as a way of being in the world.

On the Writing Process

Draft No. 4

Argues Shakespeare was a dark-skinned Jewish woman, Emilia Bassano, challenging the traditional authorship and gender perceptions. Was Shakespeare a white man from Stratford? Debate still rages over the identity of the most beloved poet of all time and 'father' of the English-speaking world. Generations of researchers have tried to dismantle the myth of the Stratford man. Now, in this intriguing and well-documented book, Irene Coslet conclusively demonstrates that Shakespeare was a not a man, but a woman: a dark-skinned lady, of Jewish origin, born into a family of Court musicians from Venice, and the mother of the English-speaking world. Her name was Emilia Bassano. Based on a re-examination of often-overlooked historical documents, shrewd, chilling, and profound, this volume offers extensive evidence that Emilia was the author of the canon. This is not just a book about the authorship debate: it is about the condition of women at the time Shakespeare was writing. It explains that feminism already existed in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. It reveals not only that Shakespeare was a woman, but also that she defended women. It reintegrates Emilia in the context of the time, for example, by exploring the relationship between Emilia and Queen Elizabeth I. The reader will leave this book with a sense of wonder, transformation, and will experience a paradigm shift. Be prepared to meet the next feminist icon.

The Real Shakespeare

Writing as Lemony Snicket, Daniel Handler has led several generations of young readers into that special and curious space of being hopelessly lost, and joyfully finding yourself, in the essential strangeness of literature. The wondrous and perilous journey of the Baudelaire orphans sprung from the author's own path, from his childhood discovery of Baudelaire's poetry through the countless peculiarities of his pursuit of a literary life-abject failure and startling success, breakthrough and breakdown, concordance and controversy-lit along the way by the books and culture he loved best. 
 
At once a personal memoir and a literary exploration, a how-to book and a critical inquiry, a sequence of stories and a series of events, And Then? And Then? What Else? is a book not just for anyone curious about the creator of Lemony Snicket, but for anyone who loved books when they were a child, and still loves them now.

And Then? and Then? What Else?

Half a century after his shocking samurai-style suicide, Yukio Mishima (1925-1970) remains a deeply controversial figure. Rankin sets out to demonstrate the intelligence and seriousness of Mishima's work and thought.

An Intellectual Portrait

Mishima, Aesthetic Terrorist

Primarily based on Masaji Marumoto's oral histories, this book is an account of Marumoto's life and career-from the time he was a child until he was well into his retirement years in the mid-1980s. One of Hawaii's most distinguished Nisei, Marumoto was the first person of Asian ancestry to graduate from Harvard Law School, the first Japanese American president of the Hawaii Bar Association, and the first Japanese American to serve on the Hawaii Supreme Court. This volume includes portions of a diary Marumoto kept as a fourteen-year-old schoolboy and letters to his wife and son during his World War II military service. It is an intimate portrait of a remarkable individual--a figure of major consequence in the story of modern Hawaii.

This volume brings together a wide range of letters and documents which collectively shed a great deal of light on Joseph Conrad's cultural roots, a subject of growing interest in recent years.

Conrad Under Familial Eyes

Tiefe Konflikte mit ihrem Schwager und dessen Frau drohen Julias Familie zu entzweien. In ihrer Not besinnt sie sich auf die Geschichte ihrer Vorfahren: drei Generationen von starken Frauen, die zwischen harter bäuerlicher Arbeit und den Konventionen ihrer Zeit gefangen waren - und sich doch ihre innere Stärke bewahrten. Eine Stärke, die auch Julia dringend braucht, als die Dinge sich zuspitzen ...

Sie ist eine der wichtigsten deutschen Autorinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Doch die Frau Brigitte Reimann ist nicht losgelöst von der Schriftstellerin zu betrachten. Beim Lesen ihrer Werke, Tagebücher und Briefe wird schnell klar, wie facettenreich sie war. Sie kann eine Prosa­architektin genannt werden, und ihr Schreiben entzieht sich jedem einfachen biografischen Erzählen. Vielmehr gilt es, die Unentwirrbarkeit der Beziehung von Leben und Schreiben, die Erzählebenen und Bewusstseinsschichten innerhalb ihres Werks zu beleuchten. Reimann erschließt sich Räume und bevölkert sie mit Menschen, die sie mit Biografien ausstattet, die Brüche aufweisen, Männer und Frauen, die in ausweglose Situationen geraten und um ihr Leben sprechen, wie auch die Schriftstellerin selbst um ihr Leben schreibt, das sie provisorisch nennt, und das viel zu früh endet.
Ingeborg Gleichauf erzählt von der Sprachwelt Brigitte Reimanns, die ihr Zuhause nirgendwo hat und doch in einer bestimmten Zeit und einer bestimmten Gesellschaft angesiedelt ist.
