        Barbara und andere Novellen

        Eine Auswahl aus dem erzählerischen Werk

        by Hermann Broch, Paul Michael Lützeler, Paul Michael Lützeler, Paul Michael Lützeler

        »Aldous Huxley«: Broch … ist völlig zu Haus auf der Spiegeloberfläche und agiert manchmal dort mit unfehlbarer Virtuosität. Es liegt an der doppelten Fähigkeit dieses Autors, seinem Vermögen, gleichzeitig zwei unvereinbare Welten zu zeichnen. Dieser Band legt eine Sammlung von 13 Novellen vor, die besten aus Brochs Gesamtwerk. Die früheste »Eine methodologische Novelle«, wurde 1917 geschrieben, die späteste, »Die Erzählung der Magd Zerline«, 1949. Die Besonderheit dieser Sammlung besteht in der erstmaligen Präsentation aller vorhandenen Tierkreisnovellen in ihrer Ursprungsfassung. Bisher unveröffentlicht ist die Novelle »Esperance«. Das Nachwort ist eine Einführung in das novellistische Werk Hermann Brochs. Der Kommentar referiert die textkritische Situation sämtlicher Novellen, die an einen Philosophen erinnern, »der gleichzeitig ein Künstler von außergewöhnlicher Bildung und Reinheit ist«.

        The silence of Barbara Synge

        by Bill McCormack

        'The silence of Barbara Synge' provides a fascinating companion volume to Bill McCormack's acclaimed 'Fool of the family' (2000), a biography of the playwright J.M. Synge (1871-1909). Taking the alledged death of Mrs John Hatch (née Synge) in 1767 as a focal point, this book explores the varied strands of the Synge family tree in eighteenth and nineteenth century Ireland. Key events in the family's history are carefully documented, including a suicide in 1769 which is echoed in an early Synge play, the effects of the famine which influenced 'The playboy of the western world' in 1907, and the behaviour of Francis Synge at the time of the union. 'The silence of Barbara Synge' is a unique work of cultural enquiry, combining archival research, literary criticism, and religious and medical history to pull the strands together and relate them to the family's literary descendent J.M. Synge. ;

        Tourette Syndrome, Second Edition

        by M. Foster Olive, Ph.D.

        Tourette syndrome is a disorder of the nervous system that involves involuntary vocal and motor tics—sudden, rapid, repeated sounds and movements. Tourette is usually first identified in children between the ages of 7 and 10, and boys are four times as likely as girls to have the disorder. The disorder can be mild or severe, with about 10 percent of Americans having a mild form, according to the National Institutes of Health. Tourette Syndrome explores the signs, symptoms, causes, and treatment of this bizarre and misunderstood neurological condition, which is often referred to as a "tic" disorder. Following an overview of Tourette syndrome, the book details its history, symptoms, biological causes and triggers of tic episodes, epidemiology, and current forms of treatment. Ways in which parents and children cope with Tourette syndrome and its social stigma, as well as psychiatric conditions that are commonly associated with it, are also discussed. Chapters include: Overview of Tourette Syndrome Symptoms of Tourette Syndrome Prevalence of Tourette Syndrome Causes of Tourette Syndrome Medical Treatments for Tourette Syndrome Behavioral Therapies for Tourette Syndrome Psychiatric Disorders Associated with Tourette Syndrome Coping Strategies for Tourette Syndrome Patients and Their Families

        Barbara Comyns

        A savage innocence

        by Avril Horner

        The extraordinary twentieth-century writer Barbara Comyns led a life as captivating as the narratives she spun. This pioneering biography reveals the journey of a woman who experienced hardship and single-motherhood before the age of thirty but went on to publish a sequence of novels that are unique in the English language. Comyns turned her hand to many jobs in order to survive, from artist's model to restoring pianos. Hundreds of unpublished letters reveal an occasionally desperate but resourceful and witty woman whose complicated life ranged from enduring poverty when young to mixing with spivs, spies and high society. While working as a housekeeper in her mid-thirties, Comyns began transforming the bleak episodes of her life into compelling fictions streaked with surrealism and deadpan humour. The Vet's Daughter (1959), championed by Graham Greene, brought her fame, although her use of the gothic and macabre divided readers and reviewers. This biography not only excavates Comyns's life but also reclaims her fiction, providing a timely reassessment of her literary contribution. It sheds new light on a remarkable author who deftly captured the complexities of human life.

        Queen Barbara

        Roman

        by Michal Witkowski, Olaf Kühl

        Tagsüber ist Hubert Kleinganove und betreibt eine Pfandleihe im Kohlenpott Polens der achtziger Jahre. Nachts vor dem Spiegel und mit Perlen geschmückt nennt er sich Barbara Radziwill – nach der Königin von Polen und Großfürstin von Litauen. Sein Geld verdient er mit »Baguette überbacken«, dem Dönerkebab der Volksrepublik. Und mit gestohlenen Chrysanthemen vom Friedhof. Wenn es eine Schuld einzutreiben gilt, sind seine »Hofdamen« zur Stelle, Sascha und Felus. Die beiden Ukrainer wissen, wie sie ihn um den Finger wickeln können. Michal Witkowski, ein Meister der Vielstimmigkeit, verwebt den Slang der Straße mit der sarmatischen Adelsplauderei zu einer Lebensbeichte, vergleichbar einem Mix aus Dorota Maslowskas Reiherkönigin und Grimmelshausens Simplicissimus.

        The portrait and the English country house in the long eighteenth century

        by Gill Perry, Kate Retford, Jordan Vibert

        This book explores the rich but understudied relationship between English country houses and the portraits they contain. It features essays by well-known scholars such as Alison Yarrington, Gill Perry, Kate Retford, Harriet Guest, Emma Barker and Desmond Shawe-Taylor. Works discussed include grand portraits, intimate pastels and imposing sculptures. Moving between residences as diverse as Stowe, Althorp Park, the Vache, Chatsworth, Knole and Windsor Castle, it unpicks the significance of various spaces - the closet, the gallery, the library - and the ways in which portraiture interacted with those environments. It explores questions around gender, investigating narratives of family and kinship in portraits of women as wives and daughters, but also as mistresses and celebrities. It also interrogates representations of military heroes in order to explore the wider, complex ties between these families, their houses, and imperial conflict. This book will be essential reading for all those interested in eighteenth-century studies, especially for those studying portraiture and country houses. ;
