        Tauben im Gras. Das Treibhaus. Der Tod in Rom

        Drei Romane

        by Wolfgang Koeppen

        Wolfgang Koeppen wurde am 23. Juni 1906 in Greifswald geboren und starb am 15. März 1996 in München. Nach einem elfjährigen Aufenthalt in Ortelsburg (Ostpreußen) kehrte er 1919 nach Greifswald zurück. Aus finanziellen Gründen musste er vom Gymnasium auf die Mittelschule wechseln, von der er ohne Abschluss abging. Danach versuchte er sich in ganz unterschiedlichen Berufen: in einer Buchhandlung, im Stadttheater in Greifswald. Als Hilfskoch kam er nach Schweden und Finnland, in Würzburg arbeitete er als Dramaturg. 1927 ließ er sich in Berlin nieder, wo er 1931 zwei Jahre als fest angestellter Redakteur beim Berliner Börsen-Courier arbeitete. Er schrieb Reportagen, Feuilletons, auch erste literarische Arbeiten entstanden. 1934 erschien sein erster Roman, Eine unglückliche Liebe. Im selben Jahr siedelte er in die Niederlande über. Hier begann er mit der Niederschrift des nicht vollendeten Romans Die Jawang-Gesellschaft. 1935 erschien der Roman Die Mauer schwankt, der jedoch kaum beachtet wurde. Er kehrte 1938 nach Deutschland zurück und arbeitete ab 1941 für die Bavaria-Filmgesellschaft in Feldafing am Starnberger See, 1945 siedelte er nach München über. 1948 erschien anonym das Buch Jakob Littners Aufzeichnungen aus einem Erdloch, zu dessen Neupublikation unter seinem Namen er erst 1992 zustimmte. 1951, 1953 und 1954 erschienen die drei Romane, die als die atmosphärisch genaueste Vergegenwärtigung des Klimas der Adenauer-Republik gelten: Tauben im Gras, Das Treibhaus und Der Tod in Rom. Koeppen verschaffte mit Nach Rußland und anderswohin, Amerikafahrt und Reisen nach Frankreich der Reiseliteratur in Deutschland hohes Ansehen.

        8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS

        The Defining Issue of the 21st Century

        by Valorie M. Allen

        The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.

        Scottishness and Irishness in New Zealand since 1840

        by Angela McCarthy, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        This book examines the distinctive aspects that insiders and outsiders perceived as characteristic of Irish and Scottish ethnic identities in New Zealand. When, how, and why did Irish and Scots identify themselves and others in ethnic terms? What characteristics did the Irish and the Scots attribute to themselves and what traits did others assign to them? Did these traits change over time and if so how? Contemporary interest surrounding issues of ethnic identities is vibrant. In countries such as New Zealand, descendants of European settlers are seeking their ethnic origins, spurred on in part by factors such as an ongoing interest in indigenous genealogies, the burgeoning appeal of family history societies, and the booming financial benefits of marketing ethnicities abroad. This fascinating book will appeal to scholars and students of the history of empire and the construction of identity in settler communities, as well as those interested in the history of New Zealand.

        Band 16: Gespräche und Interviews

        by Wolfgang Koeppen, Hans-Ulrich Treichel

        Etwas mehr als 50, teilweise sehr ausführliche Interviews hat Wolfgang Koeppen im Laufe seiner mehr als 60 Jahre dauernden Karriere als Schriftsteller gegeben. Die Anlässe waren ebenso vielfältig (das Erscheinen eines neuen Buches, Fragen zur Schreibsituation und zu persönlichen Umständen, politische Stellungnahmen) wie die Interviewpartner (Kollegen, Zeitungsjournalisten, Fernsehreporter) und die kulturellen Hintergründe (von Deutschland über Frankreich bis in die DDR und in die Sowjetunion). Die hier erstmals (in der bei Koeppen erreichbaren) vollständig versammelten Aussagen geben Einblick in die Arbeit am Schreibtisch, oder warum sie nicht stattfindet; sie bringen zur Kenntnis, unter welchen Umständen welche seiner Bücher entstanden sind – und erlauben Vergleiche zwischen den unterschiedlichen Versionen; sie kreisen häufig um die unvermeidbare Frage, warum er nach seiner Romantrilogie weitere Prosaveröffentlichungen hintangestellt hat; sie zeigen Koeppen als Leser mit ungeheurem Pensum. Schließlich zeigen sie, literarisch vollendet, wie der Autor Koeppen es immer wieder schafft, alle Fragen zu beantworten und dabei nichts von seiner Meinung preiszugeben. In dieser Hinsicht bilden die vom Herausgeber kommentierten Interviews einen integralen Bestandteil des Oeuvres von Wolfgang Koeppen.

        J. M. W. Turner

        The making of a modern artist

        by Sam Smiles, Alan Rutter

        Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the 1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers, by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the British Council and other bodies. ;
