        »Ich sehne mich sehr nach Deinen blauen Briefen«

        Briefwechsel

        by Rainer Maria Rilke, Claire Goll, Barbara Glauert-Hesse, Barbara Wiedemann, Barbara Glauert-Hesse

        Schön, wenn einmal so ein Herz über einem aufgeht, gar nicht erst in seinem ersten Viertel, gleich wie der ganze Mond in seiner vollkommensten Nacht ...«, schrieb Rilke später über seine erste Begegnung mit Claire Goll.Claires und Rilkes Korrespondenz beginnt 1918 und zeigt trotz ihrer Verhaltenheit, daß den 43jährigen und die 28jährige bald eine innige Freundschaft und mehr verbindet. Sie tauschen sich über ihre Werke aus, spenden einander Trost und schreiben sich mit leidenschaftlicher Sehnsucht. Der vorliegende Band enthält außerdem sieben französischsprachige Gedichte, die Rilke als kleines handgebundenes Buch an Claire gesandt hatte, sowie das lange unveröffentlicht gebliebene und verschollen geglaubte Manuskript Gefühle. Verse von Claire Studer, das sich im Archiv des Insel Verlages, Leipzig, wiederfand.

        Der kleine Esel Liebernicht und ein Sommer voller Abenteuer

        by Martin Baltscheit

        Little Donkey No-Never-Ever: A Summer Full of Adventures The small, stubborn donkey No-Never-Ever is the reference point of every story. With his likeable way of stubbornly refusing to do some things, he repeatedly gets the animal family on the farm and the owner Claire into trouble. At the same time, he has a delightful twinkle in his eye that Claire finds hard to resist...  As a result, he causes all sorts of commotion, thrilling little readers and even leaving adult readers smiling. About cohesion, friendship, small happiness and the really big questions! Narrated humorously by multi-talent Martin Baltscheit, congenially illustrated by Claudia Weikert A farm full of lovable characters who form a family Great ‘Story Time’ fun for the whole family, supporting the ‘Growing up” age and difficulties with board books about everyday life challenges "Everything has to change!" the farm’s animals think and have lots of ideas about how to get the new farmer Claire to redesign the farm according to their wishes. “Better not,” thinks the Little Donkey No-Never-Ever, who likes life as it is. But before he knows it, he's in the middle of a plan for a ‘paradise’ on the farm. With the flash of his eyes, he can convince Claire of any task, no matter how absurd, that urgently needs to be done. So the cow gets a massage, the chicken coop a new coat of paint and the pig wallow becomes a pool. Until poor Claire collapses from exhaustion and the animals are forced to conclude contritely: a summer full of adventures? - Yes! But a paradise without Claire? - Better not! So now the animals pitch in and make sure that the farm becomes a paradise for everyone.

        The Second Labour Government

        A reappraisal

        by John Shepherd

        This new edited collection of essays focuses on the history of Labour's second period in office during the 1929-1931 global financial crisis. Contributions by leading historians and younger academics bring fresh perspectives to Labour's domestic problems, electoral and party matters, relations with the Soviet Union and ideological questions. An important range of new historical research provides a much-needed reappraisal of Ramsay MacDonald's second Labour government, which impressed few with its conventional policies for tackling mass unemployment. Oswald Mosley, John Maynard Keynes and Ernest Bevin's alternative economic strategies are critically studied in key essays. A more positive side of the government's policies is also adeptly revealed on consumerism and agriculture. Significant new light is adroitly shed on the 1929 general election, the first fought on a universal franchise. The intricate politics of the Parliamentary Labour Party and the disaffiliation of the Independent Labour Party are convincingly explored. The influence of the Soviet Union on Labour's thoughts and actions is analysed in valuable accounts of Labour's foreign policy and Labour's turn to socialism after 1931. An important fresh account of opposition politics breaks new ground on the reaction of Tory politicians, including Harold Macmillan, to MacDonald's government. The volume concludes with an absorbing analysis of the myths surrounding '1931' in Labour history. This timely volume makes accessible a major reassessment of existing knowledge and new scholarship that will appeal to students and teachers of British political and social history. It is essential reading for sixth form and university courses on twentieth-century history. ;
