        Michael Winterbottom

        by Brian McFarlane, Deane Williams, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard

        This is the first book-length study of the most prolific and most critically acclaimed director working in British cinema today. Michael Winterbottom has also established himself, and his company, Revolution Films, as a dynamic force in world cinema. No other British director can claim such an impressive body of work in such a variety of genres, from road movie to literary adaptation, from musical to sex film, to stories of contemporary political significance. The authors of this book use a range of critical approaches to analyse the filmmaker's eclectic interests in cinema and the world at large. With this in mind, the realist elements of such films as Welcome to Sarajevo are examined in the light of a long history of cinema's dealings with realism, as far back as post-war Italian neo-realist filmmaking; whereas Jude and The claim are approached as both literary adaptations (a continuing strand in British cinema history) and examples of other reworked genres (the road movie, the western). This lively study of his work, written in a wholly accessible style, will engage all those who have followed his career as well as those with a wide-ranging interest in British cinema.

        The politics of male friendship in contemporary American fiction

        by Michael Kalisch

        How might our friendships shape our politics? This book examines how contemporary American fiction has rediscovered the concept of civic friendship and revived a long tradition of imagining male friendship as interlinked with the promises and paradoxes of democracy in the United States. Bringing into dialogue the work of a wide range of authors - including Philip Roth, Paul Auster, Michael Chabon, Jonathan Lethem, Dinaw Mengestu, and Teju Cole - this innovative study advances a compelling new account of the political and intellectual fabric of the American novel today.

        Deutsch-französische Gedankengänge

        by Bernhard Waldenfels

        In den in diesem Band enthaltenen Texten wird nicht lediglich über bestimmte Figuren und Trends der zeitgenössischen französischen Philosophie und über deren Verbindung zu Deutschland gesprochen, Waldenfels kommt es vielmehr darauf an, mit solchen französischen Autoren und Texten weiterzudenken, die ihrerseits entscheidende Anregungen der deutschsprachigen Philosophie verdanken.

        Michael Kohlhaas

        by Heinrich Kleist

        Michael Kohlhaas ist einer der »rechtschaffensten zugleich und entsetzlichsten Menschen seiner Zeit«. Mit unerschütterlicher Überzeugung glaubt der Pferdehändler an die Macht des Gesetzes. Als er eines Tages hinterhältigen Machenschaften zum Opfer fällt, wendet er sich an die Obrigkeit – die ihn jedoch, korrupt, wie sie ist, um sein Recht betrügt. Kohlhaas beginnt daraufhin einen unbeugsamen Rachefeldzug, in dem er keinen seiner Widersacher verschont … Bis heute hat Kleists berühmteste Erzählung über den Kampf eines betrogenen und wutentbrannten Mannes gegen korrupte Rechtsverdreher und Staatsklüngel nichts an Aktualität eingebüßt.

        Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre

        by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Harris Lo, Silke Kleemann

        Eines Tages kam Michael weinend nach Hause. Sein Traum war zerplatzt, er war nicht ins Basketball-Team seiner Schule aufgenommen worden. Er sei zu klein, meinte der Trainer. »Go out and earn it«, sagte seine Mutter zu ihm. Und das tat er. Fast zwei Meter wurde er groß und machte die Chicago Bulls zur erfolgreichsten Mannschaft der amerikanischen Liga. Mit dem US-Team holte er zweimal Gold bei den Olympischen Spielen. Am Ende seiner Karriere wurde er zum »Ball-Sportler des Jahrhunderts« gekürt. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.
