        Die Treuhand

        Idee – Praxis – Erfahrung 1990-1994

        by Marcus Böick

        Die Treuhandanstalt war eine der umstrittensten Organisationen in der deutschen Geschichte. Als »größtes Unternehmen der Welt« führte sie einen Vermögensumbau von bisher unbekanntem Ausmaß durch. Zwischen kollabierendem Realsozialismus und sich globalisierendem Kapitalismus überführte ihr Personal die »volkseigenen« Betriebe der DDR vom Plan zum Markt. Verkäufe an zumeist westdeutsche Investoren, Branchenabwicklungen und Massenentlassungen prägten ihre krisengeschüttelte Geschäftspraxis nicht weniger als wütende Proteste, politische Kontroversen und öffentliche Skandale. Jenseits zeitgenössischer Bewertungen als alternativlosem »Erfolg« oder neoliberale »Abwicklung« wirft Marcus Böick erstmals einen zeithistorischen Blick auf den widersprüchlichen Auftrag des Wirtschaftsumbaus und rückt dessen Personal in den Fokus. An der Schnittstelle von Wirtschafts- und Kulturgeschichte zeichnet er mit präzisem Blick die zugrundeliegenden Ideen, den dynamischen Organisationsalltag und die facettenreichen Erfahrungen der Mitarbeiter nach, die die Transformation so maßgeblich wie unvorbereitet mitgestaltet haben.

        Von dem Fischer un syner Fru

        by Philipp Otto Runge, Uwe Johnson, Marcus Behmer, Beate Jahn

        Dieses Buch hat eine vielfache Geschichte: Zum einen enthält es das Märchen, das der Hamburger Maler Philipp Otto Runge nach der Volksüberlieferung aufgeschrieben hat und das später von den Brüdern Grimm in deren Märchensammlung übernommen wurde. Zum anderen enthält es die 1913 von Marcus Behmer geschaffenen Illustrationen. Erstmals erschien dieses kleine Buch 1920 und gehört zu jenen Veröffentlichungen, die das bibliophile Anliegen des Insel Verlages auf das Beste bezeugen. In bewußter Wahl von Papier, Schrift, Satz, Format und Illustration war eine Ausgabe entstanden, die wohl zu Recht von Buchliebhabern und Fachleuten – wie Hans A. Halbey schrieb – als »eines der vollkommensten Buchkunstwerke des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts« geschätzt wird.Nun wird eine dritte – festtägliche – Fassung vorgelegt: mit farbigen Bildern, deren Reproduktion ein von Marcus Behmer koloriertes Exemplar der Ausgabe von 1920 zugrunde liegt; und einem zusätzlichen, sich dem Künstler widmenden Nachwort.

        Armor

        Roman

        by Marcus Braun

        Sie sind jung, verliebt und unterwegs ans Meer, Kate und Fabien, Fabien und Kate, sie drehen das Autoradio lauter, stemmen die Füße gegen die Armaturen und schließen beim Fahren die Augen. So fangen sommerliche Roadmovies an, manchmal auch abgründige Psychodramen, Armor ist beides auf einmal und einer der seltenen deutschsprachigen Romane, die das Schwerelose und Komische zur literarischen Tugend erheben. Vielleicht, weil so vieles an ihm französisch ist: die Figuren, die Atlantikküste und diese elegante Art, fatale Verwicklungen als Spiel von Anziehung und Abstoßung zu inszenieren. Was eben so passiert, wenn eine Handvoll Menschen an einem entlegenen Ort aufeinandertrifft: Kate und Fabien, arrogant in ihrer Unschuld, die schöne Isabelle und ihr undurchschaubarer Mann Jacques, außerdem das Mädchen Marie. Eine malerische Bucht wird mehrmals aufgesucht, der Verzehr von Schalentieren bleibt nicht ohne Folgen, les femmes sont très fatales, und das Meer – man kann darin auf einen Seeigel treten, man kann darin umkommen. Marcus Braun ist ein Meister reduzierter Szenen und Dialoge, die vieles unausgesprochen lassen und noch mehr vorstellbar machen. In Armor inszeniert er lakonisch leicht ein raffiniertes erotisches Spiel, das an die Filme der Nouvelle Vague erinnert. Man denke an Jean Seberg und den jungen Belmondo.

        Order and conflict

        Anthony Ascham and English political thought (1648–50)

        by Peter Lake, Marco Barducci, Anthony Milton, Jason Peacey, Alexandra Gajda

        This book provides a careful and systematic analysis of Anthony Ascham's career and writings for the first time in English. During the crucial period between the Second Civil War and the establishment of the English Republic, when he served as official pamphleteer of the Parliament and the republican government, Ascham put forward a complex argument in support of Parliament's claims for obedience which drew on the political thought of Grotius, Hobbes, Selden, Filmer and Machiavelli. He combined ideas taken from these authors and turned them into a powerful instrument of propaganda to be deployed in the service of the political agenda of his Independent patrons in Parliament. This investigation of Ascham's works brings together an intellectual analysis of his political thought and an exploration of the interaction between politics, propaganda and political ideas.

        A Tale Of Light

        by Khrystyna Lukashchuk (Author), Khrystyna Lukashchuk (Illustrator)

        This unique picture book is a creation of Khrystyna Lukashchuk, a well-known Ukrainian author and artist recognized as one of the best illustrators of independent Ukraine. From the emergence of Ukraine through its darkest times to its final victory over evil,  A Tale Of Light allows us to find answers to dramatic questions: how can we explain to children why there is a war in their country? Why can not the enemy leave the Ukrainian land in peace? What will help us to defeat the enemy for good? The profound symbolic images that the author recreated will guide the readers along their journey. Ukrainians have been tapping into them for long times to find a source of harmony and internal strength –  they are a powerful source of Light sustained by Ukrainian history, culture, and language. No enemy, however big or conniving, can destroy this Light.   From 3 to 6 years, 719 words Rightsholders: bondarenkosvetlak@gmail.com

        Anthony Asquith

        by Tom Ryall, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard

        This is the first comprehensive critical study of Anthony Asquith. Ryall sets the director's work in the context of British cinema from the silent period to the 1960s, examining the artistic and cultural influences which shaped his films. Asquith's silent films were compared favourably to those of his eminent contemporary Alfred Hitchcock, but his career faltered during the 1930s. However, the success of Pygmalion (1938) and French Without Tears (1939), based on plays by George Bernard Shaw and Terence Rattigan, together with his significant contributions to wartime British cinema, re-established him as a leading British film maker. Asquith's post-war career includes several pictures in collaboration with Terence Rattigan, and the definitive adaptation of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest (1951), but his versatility is demonstrated in a number of modest genre films including The Woman in Question (1950), The Young Lovers (1954) and Orders to Kill (1958). ;

        The False One

        By John Fletcher and Philip Massinger

        by Domenico Lovascio

        Advertised in its Prologue as a prequel to Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra, Fletcher and Massinger's The False One is the first literary work completely to revolve around the affair between Caesar and Cleopatra. In its deployment of their liaison as a venue for the exploration and criticism of contemporary political manoeuvring and its high-spirited and pungent appropriation of Roman history, the play proves to be one of the most compelling Jacobean dramatizations of the classical past. This Revels Plays edition offers the first fully annotated, single-volume critical edition of The False One, with a thorough introduction that provides new insights on the date and the theatre of the play's first performance, examines the playwrights' reworking of their sources and explores the theatrical potential of a play that has hitherto regrettably been lost to the dramatic repertory.

        May the Loveforce Be With You

        Kali-Ki Reiki: Healing Through Divine Mother & Yogic Wisdom

        by Rajashree Maa

        May the Loveforce Be With introduces a new lineage in energy healing, Kali-Ki ReikiTM, that was revealed to the author, Joni Dittrich, Ph.D. (Rajashree Maa), in a series of mystical encounters with the Divine Mother appearing as the goddess Kali Maa. The book brilliantly tells the stories of these encounters and presents the healing symbols that She revealed, explaining how these symbols can be used both for mind-body healing and spiritual awakening, or what Rajashree Maa calls "wisening." While traditional reiki systems also use symbols to transmit healing energy, the symbols introduced in Kali-Ki Reiki are seen as unique, three-dimensional, active, intelligent forms of light that tap into certain universal energy frequencies that are particularly attuned to the evolving conscious awareness as well as the personal and societal dilemmas of our current times. The fact that these symbols were revealed by Divine Mother to a woman in this era points to a need in today's world to re-establish our connection with the feminine forces of nature and spirit. The healing energy transmitted through these symbols is called Loveforce, which is considered to be the manifesting, creative, and healing power of the Limitless Love that is the Source of all that is.
