German Romance I: Daniel Von Dem Blühenden Tal
ISBN: 9780859917933 / Angielski / Twarda / 439 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Der Stricker's Daniel is the first freely invented German Arthurian romance, bringing the genre to a new level of originality. Beginning with Hartmann von Aue's Erec (c.1185) and up until Daniel (c.1210-25), German poets had drawn their tales of King Arthur's knights exclusively from the world of the French romance, most commonly from the oeuvre of the great romancier Chretien de Troyes; but in relating his eponymous hero's adventures against giants, dwarves and fellow knights, der Stricker made a clean break with this tradition, claims that he received his story from the French poet Alberich...

The Literary Absolute
ISBN: 9780887066610 / Angielski / Miękka / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Literary Absolute is the first authoritative study of the emergence of the modern concept of literature in German romanticism. The authors trace this concept from the philosophical crisis bequeathed by Kant to his successors, to its development by the central figures of the Athenaeum group: the Schlegel brothers, Schelling, and Novalis. This study situates the Jena romantics' "fragmentary" model of literature--a model of literature as the production of its own theory--in relation to the development of a post-Kantian conception of philosophy as the total and reflective auto-production...

The Call of the Daimon: Love and Truth in the Writings of Franz Kafka
ISBN: 9780933029835 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Call of the Daimon: Love and Truth in the Writings of Franz Kafka moves easily between Kafka's life, characters and events in the novels, contemporary poetry, and Aldo Carotenuto's interpretations of critical Jungian perspectives. The primary human event that interests Carotenuto is the call of the daimon: the desire for truth and love that destroys all misconceptions and self-delusions, that demands a constant creative response to life's difficulties, and that ultimately allows the seeker no rest. This is Carotenuto's vision of the driven Kafka, and he follows this...

Masochism: Coldness and Cruelty & Venus in Furs
ISBN: 9780942299557 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In his stunning essay, Coldness and Cruelty, Gilles Deleuze provides a rigorous and informed philosophical examination of the work of the late 19th-century German novelist Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Deleuze's essay, certainly the most profound study yet produced on the relations between sadism and masochism, seeks to develop and explain Masoch's -peculiar way of 'desexualizing' love while at the same time sexualizing the entire history of humanity.- He shows that masochism is something far more subtle and complex than the enjoyment of pain, that masochism has nothing to do with sadism;...

German Writers and the Politics of Culture: Dealing with the Stasi
ISBN: 9781403913265 / Angielski / Twarda / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Before the fall of the Berlin Wall many East German writers were praised in the Western world as dissident voices of truth, bravely struggling with the draconian constraints of living under the GDR's communist regime. However, since unification, Germany has been rocked by scandals showing the level to which the Stasi, the East German Secret Police, controlled these same writers. This is the first study in English to systematically explore how the writers have responded to the challenge of dealing with the Stasi from the 1950s to the present day.

The Turkish Turn in Contemporary German Literature: Towards a New Critical Grammar of Migration
ISBN: 9781403969132 / Angielski / Twarda / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Challenging the commonplace that suspends migrants between two worlds', this study turns a refreshingly curious eye to complex cultural relations and literary novelties wrought by Turkish migration to Germany. At interpretive and historic crossroads involving dialogue and storytelling, genocide and taboo, and capital and labour in the 1990s. This book illuminates far-reaching imaginative effects that literatures of migration can engender.

Reading and Seeing Ethnic Differences in the Enlightenment: From China to Africa
ISBN: 9781403976413 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book investigates the contested ways in which eighteenth-century German philosophers, scientists, poets, and dramatists perceived and represented China and Africa from 1680 to 1830. Tautz demonstrates in compelling ways that reading China allowed for the integration of cultural difference into Enlightenment universalism, whereas seeing Africa exposed irreducible differences that undermined any claims of universality. By working through the case of eighteenth-century Germany and Europe, the book adds an important cross-cultural and historical dimension to questions relevant to our world...

Shelley's German Afterlives: 1814-2000
ISBN: 9781403977502 / Angielski / Twarda / 253 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Winner of the 2008 Helene Richter Award Shelley's German Afterlives traces the German reception of P.B. Shelley over a time-span of nearly 200 years, considering material as diverse as anthologies, journals, biographies, poetic imitations, translations. If German readers of the 1830s and 1840s were initially fascinated by Shelley's life and death, interest in the lyrical and the political Shelley set in soon, too. "Men of England" became the model for one of the most popular German working class poems by Herwegh. In the context of the fin de siecle and of...

Teutonic Legends in The Nibelungen Lied and The Nibelungen Ring
ISBN: 9781410205186 / Angielski / Miękka / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A guide for English-speaking readers to the mythology behind Richard Wagner's operas - myths brought from the Orient to the shores of the Baltic. The legends which have Siegfried for their central figure are found in their earlier written forms in the Eddas and the Sagas, as preserved in Iceland. They appear again in changed forms in the great medieval epic, the Nibelungen Lied, and, in our own day, notably in Wagner's majestic operas of the Nibelungen Ring. At the time of original publication in 1904, W. C. Sawyer, Ph.D., was Professor of the German Language and Lecturer on Teutonic...

Who Wrote Those Letters?: In Search of Jrnjakob Swehn
ISBN: 9781420834789 / Angielski / Miękka / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For seventy years after the publication in Germany in 1917 of Johannes Gillhoff's best seller "Jrnjakob Swehn -- der Amerikafahrer" (translated recently into English with the title "Letters of a German American Farmer") the readers of the book debated whether It was fact or fiction - and, if fact, who wrote those immigrant letters from Iowa back to his teacher in Germany. The present book is a factual narrative of the ten-year search which in 1988 revealed the true identity of Jrnjakob Swehn and showed that most of the book is fact. The narrative documents how Swehn's family fared of five...
