What was meant by the medieval popular Bible - what was presented as biblical narrative to an audience largely unable to read the original biblical texts?

German Literature of the Early Middle Ages
ISBN: 9781571132406 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This second volume of the set not only presents a detailed picture of the beginnings of writing in German from its first emergence as a literary language from around 750 to 1100, but also places those earliest writings into a context. The first stages of German literature existed within a manuscript culture, so careful consideration is given to what constitutes the actual texts, but German literature also arose within a society that had recently been Christianized -- through the medium of Latin. Therefore what we understand by literature in Germany at this early period must include a great...

The Novels of Erich Maria Remarque: Sparks of Life
ISBN: 9781571134769 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Erich Maria Remarque is a writer of great popularity who has rightly been described as a -chronicler of the twentieth century.- He is both a German writer and a genuinely international one. Although he spent much of his life in exile from Germany, most of his novels reflect its twentieth-century history: the two world wars and the Weimar and Nazi regimes, and especially their effects on the individual. His portrayals of the lives of refugees from Nazi Germany are especially vivid. His themes are universal, dealing with human relationships, with love in particular, and with the provisional...

The German Hero: Politics & Pragmatism: Politics and Pragmatism in Early Medieval Poetry
ISBN: 9781852851439 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In The Germanic Hero Brian Murdoch looks at the role the warrior-hero plays within a set of predetermined political and social constraints. the hero is not a sword-wielding barbarian, bent only upon establishing his own fame; such fame-seekers (including some famous medieval literary figures) might even fall outside the definition of the Germanic hero, the real value of whose deeds are given meaning only within the political construct. Individual prowess is not enough. The hero must conquer the blows of fate because he is committed to the conquest of chaos, and over all to the need...

German Literature and the First World War: The Anti-War Tradition: Collected Essays by Brian Murdoch
ISBN: 9781472452894 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The period immediately following the end of the First World War witnessed an outpouring of artistic and literary creativity, as those that had lived through the war years sought to communicate their experiences and opinions. In Germany this manifested itself broadly into two camps, one condemning the war outright; the other condemning the defeat. Of the former, Erich Maria Remarque s All Quiet on the Western Front remains the archetypal example of an anti-war novel, and one that has become synonymous with the Great War. Yet the tremendous and enduring popularity of Remarque s work has to some...
