Adam Travels: Thirty Years Later
by Simon Garber
Adam Travels: Thirty Years Later by Simon Garber Traveling is one of the great joys in life, as Russian American Adam Gardov knows well. For thirty years, this brilliant chef, his wife, and his daughter have explored the wonders of Europe and Israel, finding joy, new friends, and adventure wherever their wanderlust takes them. Adam Travels: Thirty Years Later is a collection of short stories penned by Shimon Garber—a fictional travelogue of the Gardov family’s journeys. Often lighthearted, sometimes sad, and always interesting, these narratives celebrate the similarities—and differences—among nations, cultures, and cuisines. From a strange encounter with Russian gangsters while whale watching off the Spanish coast to a peaceful float in the tranquil Dead Sea, these stories bring each location to life. This is not a travel guide, however—instead, author Shimon Garber uses the Gardov family and their adventures to celebrate travel and exploration. Sometimes travel lets you stand alone upon a mountaintop. Sometimes you find yourself trying to sleep in a room with a world-class snorer. But as these stories show, the benefits always outweigh the setbacks. So pack your bags, check your passport, settle into your comfiest chair, and set off with the Gardovs to explore our amazing world.

by Bertolt Brecht, Werner Hecht, Jan Knopf, Klaus-Detlef Müller
Bertolt Brecht wurde am 10. Februar 1898 in Augsburg geboren und starb am 14. August 1956 in Berlin. Von 1917 bis 1918 studierte er an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Naturwissenschaften, Medizin und Literatur. Sein Studium musste er allerdings bereits im Jahr 1918 unterbrechen, da er in einem Augsburger Lazarett als Sanitätssoldat eingesetzt wurde. Bereits während seines Studiums begann Brecht Theaterstücke zu schreiben. Ab 1922 arbeitete er als Dramaturg an den Münchener Kammerspielen. Von 1924 bis 1926 war er Regisseur an Max Reinhardts Deutschem Theater in Berlin. 1933 verließ Brecht mit seiner Familie und Freunden Berlin und flüchtete über Prag, Wien und Zürich nach Dänemark, später nach Schweden, Finnland und in die USA. Neben Dramen schrieb Brecht auch Beiträge für mehrere Emigrantenzeitschriften in Prag, Paris und Amsterdam. 1948 kehrte er aus dem Exil nach Berlin zurück, wo er bis zu seinem Tod als Autor und Regisseur tätig war. Jan Knopf, 1944 in Arnstadt/Thüringen geboren, ist seit 1984 Professor für Literaturwissenschaft und seit 1989 Leiter der Arbeitsstelle Bertolt Brecht (ABB) am Institut für Literaturwissenschaft der Universität Karlsruhe. Er veröffentlichte über 30 Bücher zu Brecht, Dürrenmatt, Hebel, zu Kalender und Kalendergeschichte; er ist Mitherausgeber von Bertolt Brecht: Werke. Große kommentierte Berliner und Frankfurter Ausgabe in 30 Bänden und Herausgeber des Brecht-Handbuchs in fünf Bänden.

August 1989Vorlesungen 1930–1935
Cambridge 1930–1932
by Ludwig Wittgenstein, Desmond Lee, Alice Ambrose, Joachim Schulte
"Die Nachschriften von Wittgensteins Cambridger Vorlesungen aus den Jahren 1930-1935 sind eines der eindringlichsten Zeugnisse der Entwicklung seines Denkens. In diesen Nachschriften erleben wir Wittgenstein als Lehrer und im Gespräch: die erörterten Themen reichen vom Wesen des Satzes, den Farbausdrücken und Problemen des Gesichtsraums bis zu Diskussionen mathematischer Grundlagenfragen und Gedanken über den Zeitbegriff. Manches, was in den Schriften nur angedeutet ist, wird hier erläutert und mit Hilfe von Beispielen vertieft. Stets wechselt der Aspekt der Betrachtung, und nie ist ein Gegenstand des Denkens für Wittgenstein wirklich derselbe; immer entdeckt er eine neue Schwierigkeit, eine neue Facette."

Der Tag, an dem Hitler sich erschoß und die Westbindung der Deutschen begann
by Alexander Kluge
Der 30. April 1945, ein Montag, »letzter ausgeübter Werktag des Deutschen Reiches«. Es ist ein Tag voller Widersprüche und verwirrender Lebensgeschichten. In Berlins Mitte toben heftige Gefechte, die Rote Armee nimmt die Stadt in Besitz, Hitler erschießt sich. Scheinbare Idylle dagegen in der Schweiz. In San Francisco formieren sich die Vereinten Nationen. Alexander Kluge beschreibt in seinem Buch lokale und globale Verhältnisse. In diesen wahren und erfundenen Geschichten geht es um das Leben in einer kleinen, von amerikanischen Streitkräften schon besetzten Stadt, um den Takt der Haarschnitte, aber auch um Ereignisse rund um den Erdball. Die Frage, die sich überall und unwiderruflich stellt: Wie soll man auf den Umsturz der Verhältnisse angemessen reagieren? Basierend auf persönlichen Erinnerungen und historischen Fakten, zeichnet Alexander Kluge das vielstimmige Portrait eines Tages, der Geschichte schrieb und dessen Folgen auch 70 Jahre später noch deutlich spürbar sind.

March 2005Briefwechsel 1930–1940
by Gretel Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Christoph Gödde, Henri Lonitz
Die Korrespondenz zwischen Gretel Adorno und Walter Benjamin, die 1930 einsetzt, aber erst mit Benjamins Emigration nach Frankreich ihre volle Intensität erreicht, ist nicht nur ein spätes Zeugnis des intellektuellen Berlin der zwanziger Jahre, sondern auch das Dokument einer großen Freundschaft, die unabhängig von der Beziehung Benjamins zu Theodor W. Adorno bestand. Während Benjamin, neben seinen Alltagssorgen, insbesondere über jene Projekte schreibt, an denen er in den letzten Jahren seines Lebens mit Hochdruck gearbeitet hat – vor allem über den »Baudelaire« –, war es Gretel Karplus-Adorno, die mit aller Macht versuchte, Benjamin in der Welt zu halten. Sie drängte ihn zur Emigration, berichtete von Adornos Plänen und Blochs Aufenthaltsorten und hielt so die Verbindung zwischen den alten Berliner Freunden und Bekannten aufrecht. Sie half ihm durch regelmäßige Geldüberweisungen über die schlimmsten Zeiten hinweg und organisierte eine finanzielle Unterstützung aus dem anfänglich noch vom Deutschen Reich unabhängigen Saarland. In New York angekommen, versucht sie mit ihren Beschreibungen der Stadt und der Neuankömmlinge, Benjamin nach Amerika zu locken. Aber Benjamin schreibt im Frühjahr 1940: »Wir müssen sehen, unser Bestes in die Briefe zu legen; denn nichts deutet darauf hin, daß der Augenblick unseres Wiedersehens nahe ist.«

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2004Health, disease and society in Europe, 1800–1930
A source book
by Deborah Brunton, Isobel McLean
During the nineteenth century, the provision of medical care underwent a radical transformation. In 1800, the body was still understood in terms of humours and fluids, and treatment was provided by a wide range of individuals, some of whom had little or no formal training. Institutions were marginal to the medical enterprise, and governments took almost no part in providing medical services. By 1930, however, a recognisably modern medicine had begun to emerge across Europe. New understandings of human physiology had resulted in the new science of surgical therapy; hospitals had become centres for care, research and training; and the newly organised medical professions increasingly sought to regulate medical practice. In most countries, the state had accepted responsibility for public health and the provision of basic welfare services. This volume provides readers with unrivalled access to a comprehensive range of sources on these major themes. Extracts from contemporary writings vividly illustrate key aspects of medical thought and practice, while a selection of classic historical research and up-to-date work in the field helps further our understanding of medical history. Thematically arranged, these sources are assembled to complement the essays in the companion volume, Medicine Transformed: Health, Disease and Society in Europe, 1800-1930. In addition, brief scholarly introductions make the sources accessible to both the specialist and the general reader. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2024Mid-century women's writing
Disrupting the public/private divide
by Melissa Dinsman, Megan Faragher, Ravenel Richardson
The traditional narrative of the mid-century (1930s-60s) is that of a wave of expansion and constriction, with the swelling of economic and political freedoms for women in the 1930s, the cresting of women in the public sphere during the Second World War, and the resulting break as employment and political opportunities for women dwindled in the 1950s when men returned home from the front. But as the burgeoning field of interwar and mid-century women's writing has demonstrated, this narrative is in desperate need of re-examination. Mid-century women's writing: Disrupting the public/private divide aims to revivify studies of female writers, journalists, broadcasters, and public intellectuals living or working in Britain, or under British rule, during the mid-century while also complicating extant narratives about the divisions between domesticity and politics.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2014Country houses and the British Empire, 1700–1930
by Andrew Thompson, Stephanie Barczewski, John Mackenzie
Country houses and the British empire, 1700-1930 assesses the economic and cultural links between country houses and the Empire between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. Using sources from over fifty British and Irish archives, it enables readers to better understand the impact of the empire upon the British metropolis by showing both the geographical variations and its different cultural manifestations. Barczewski offers a rare scholarly analysis of the history of country houses that goes beyond an architectural or biographical study, and recognises their importance as the physical embodiments of imperial wealth and reflectors of imperial cultural influences. In so doing, she restores them to their true place of centrality in British culture over the last three centuries, and provides fresh insights into the role of the Empire in the British metropolis. ;

Helen Muspratt, photographer
by Jessica Sutcliffe
Born into a civil service family in India in 1907, Helen Muspratt was a lifelong communist, a member of the Cambridge intellectual milieu of the 1930s, and a working mother at a time when such a role was unusual for women of her class. She was also a pioneering photographer, creating an extraordinary body of work in many different styles and genres. In partnership with Lettice Ramsey she made portraits of many notable figures of the 1930s in the fields of science and culture. Her experimental photography, using techniques such as solarisation and multiple exposure, bears comparison with the innovations of Man Ray and Lee Miller. This book reproduces some of Helen Muspratt's most important photographic images, including documentary records of the Soviet Union and the Welsh valleys. The accompanying text by Jessica Sutcliffe is an intimate and revealing memoir of her mother that offers a fascinating insight into her life, work and politics. ;
