        Dickicht

        Roman

        by Nina Bußmann

        Auf eigene Faust auszunüchtern, schaffen die wenigsten. Wer mit dem Trinken aufhören will, sollte Anschluss an eine Gruppe suchen. Die suchtkranke Ruth kennt solche Lehren, glaubt aber nicht daran. Allein kommt sie am besten zurecht. Als sie nach einem schweren Sturz im Krankenhaus aufwacht, braucht sie jedoch Unterstützung und wendet sich an eine Mitpatientin, Katja. Der passiert das ständig, Leute bitten sie um einen Gefallen, eine Unterschrift, etwas Kleingeld. Helfen gibt ihr ein gutes Gefühl, auch wenn sie weiß, dass sie sich später nur schwer abgrenzen kann. Sie merkt bald, Ruth zu mögen ist nicht leicht. Und es gibt noch andere, die sich darum bemühen – Max, der sie mit seinem linken Kollektiv beim Kampf gegen die neue Vermieterin unterstützen wollte. Katja kennt ihn nur aus Erzählungen und empfindet Eifersucht. Was ist das für einer, der angeblich nie die Geduld verliert, keine feste Widerstandsfläche bietet? Nina Bußmann erzählt von drei Menschen in der Großstadt, die um Kontrolle kämpfen, sie aber längst verloren haben. In prekäre Arbeits- und Lebensverhältnisse verstrickt, taumeln sie zwischen Abhängigkeiten und Freundschaften, Therapieversprechen und spirituellen Verlockungen. Ohne Rausch kommt kaum einer aus. Und dennoch suchen sie alle nach Klarheit. »In Nina Bußmanns Büchern ist es die Genauigkeit der Beschreibung, die die Unschärfen des Lebens erkennbar macht.« Paul Jandl, Neue Zürcher Zeitung

        Art: Financial Aspects

        The rise of the modern art market in London

        1850–1939

        by Edited by Pamela Fletcher and Anne Helmreich

        Now available in paperback for the first time, this study of the modern London art market establishes the central importance of London for the development of the modern retail market in fine art. Leading experts track the emergence and development of the structures and practices that have come to characterize the commercial art system, including the commercial art gallery, the professional dealer, the exhibition cycle and its accompanying rhetoric of press coverage and publicity, and an international network for the circulation of goods. This new commercial system involved a massive transformation of the experience of viewing art; of the relationships between artists, dealers, collectors, art objects and audiences; and of the very criteria of aesthetic value itself. Its history is thus a vital part of the history of modern art, and this anthology will be of interest to art historians as well as scholars of Victorian Studies, Museum Studies, and Social History.

        Große Ferien

        Roman

        by Nina Bußmann

        Bereits seit Monaten unterrichtet Schramm nicht mehr; etwas soll vorgefallen sein zwischen ihm und einem Schüler. Die Kollegen haben es schon immer gewusst, hinter seinem Rücken zerrissen sie sich über ihn, der immer korrekt war, die Mäuler. Und in der Tat, Schramm war porös geworden über die Zeit mit dem Jungen, der ihm in seiner Radikalität gegen sich selbst so ähnlich schien, und plötzlich hörte Schramm ein »wir« und war wie verzaubert, vollkommen ungeschützt in einem Moment, und dann –. Mit unheimlicher Präzision zieht Nina Bußmann uns hinein in ein Indizienspiel von diabolischem Ausmaß: Während wir noch Opfer von Tätern zu unterscheiden suchen, drängt es uns unaufhaltsam zu jenem Moment, in dem zwei Menschen alles auf eine Karte setzen.

        Das Geheimnis von Shadowbrook

        by Susan Fletcher

        Die junge Botanikerin Clara Waterfield wird 1914 aus London auf ein Anwesen nach Gloucestershire gerufen, um dort ein Palmenhaus einzurichten. Sie findet einen üppigen, verwunschenen Garten vor – doch das clematisbewachsene Haus wirkt seltsam abweisend, die meisten Räume sind verschlossen und der Besitzer, Mr. Fox, ist nur selten anzutreffen –, und nachts scheint es zu spuken. Doch Clara macht sich unerschrocken daran, die Geheimnisse von Shadowbrooks zu ergründen und macht dabei eine ungeheuerliche Entdeckung, die ihr weiteres Leben verändern wird … Ein fesselnder Roman um eine mutige Frau, die ihrer Zeit weit voraus ist. Ein atmosphärischer, bildreicher Pageturner am Vorabend des Ersten Weltkriegs – aber auch ein Roman über das, was von uns bleibt.

        The Maid's Tragedy

        Beaumont and Fletcher

        by David Bevington, T. W. Craik, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich

        Generally acknowledged to be the most powerful of Beaumont and Fletcher's plays and frequently performed by the best actors of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century, The Maid's Tragedy (1610-11) disappeared from the stage (except in a much-altered and very successful Victorian adaptation) until recent years, when major companies have rediscovered its appeal. In this fully annotated edition, the editor has given careful attention to the sense of the lines, the stage action and the verse. Many new emendations of textual errors, as well as improvements in stage directions and lineation, are either introduced or proposed. The introduction explores Beaumont and Fletcher's use of the three known sources (two of them previously neglected) for incidents in the play, gives the fullest available account of its stage history, and provides a sympathetic interpretation of the play as a romantic tragedy. ;

        Thierry and Theodoret

        John Fletcher, Philip Massinger and Nathan Field

        by Domenico Lovascio

        Enthusiastically praised by Charles Lamb and A. C. Swinburne but unjustly neglected since the early twentieth century, Thierry and Theodoret dramatizes events from medieval French history. With its disenchanted depiction of royalty, its eerie instability in terms of genre, and its black comic overtones, Thierry and Theodoret strikes as a distinctive specimen of tragic drama in the Jacobean mould and ranks as one of the most powerful plays in the canon of John Fletcher and his collaborators. This Revels Plays volume is the first fully annotated critical edition of the play, and the first to attribute it to Nathan Field alongside Fletcher and Philip Massinger. It provides a thorough introduction reassessing the play's engagement with its sources - including Shakespeare - and discusses the dating, authorship, and reception of this bizarrely captivating play, pointing the way for future scholarship, especially of a historical or gender-based nature.

        The world of El Cid

        Chronicles of the Spanish Reconquest

        by Simon Barton, Richard Fletcher

        Makes available, for the first time in English translation, four of the principal narrative sources for the history of the Spanish kingdom of León-Castile during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Three chronicles focus primarily upon the activities of the kings of León-Castile as leaders of the Reconquest of Spain from the forces of Islam, and especially upon Fernando I (1037-65), his son Alfonso VI (1065-1109) and the latter's grandson Alfonso VII (1126-57). The fourth chronicle is a biography of the hero Rodrigo Díaz, better remembered as El Cid, and is the main source of information about his extraordinary career as a mercenary soldier who fought for Christian and Muslim alike. Covers the fascinating interaction of the Muslim and Christian worlds, each at the height of their power. Each text is prefaced by its own introduction and accompanied by explanatory notes.

        The illusion of the Burgundian state

        by Élodie Lecuppre-Desjardin, Christopher Fletcher

        On 25 January 1474, Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, appeared before his subjects in Dijon. Robed in silk, gold and precious jewels and wearing a headpiece that gave the illusion of a crown, he made a speech in which he cryptically expressed his desire to become a king. Three years later, Charles was killed at the battle of Nancy, an event that plunged the Great Principality of Burgundy into chaos. This book, innovative and essential, not only explores Burgundian history and historiography but offers a complete synthesis about the nature of politics in this region, considered both from the north and the south. Focusing on political ideologies, a number of important issues are raised relating to the medieval state, the signification of the nation under the 'Ancien Regime', the role of warfare in the creation of political power and the impact of political loyalties in the exercise of government. In doing so, the book challenges a number of existing ideas about the Burgundian state.
