The Simons of Manchester revives the history of one of Manchester's most influential families, the Simons. The book investigates the lives and public work of Henry and Emily Simon, and Ernest and Shena Simon. Through philanthropy and work in social reform, the two generations of the Simons greatly enriched Manchester's cultural and civic institutions, worked to improve the lives of its citizens, and helped to spearhead profound national reforms in health, housing, planning and education. While many people in Manchester are familiar with the Simon name through Shena Simon College, Simonsway, and the Simon Building at the University of Manchester, there is scant public knowledge of who the Simons were and their legacy. As such, this edited volume of collected essays aims to illuminate their fascinating lives and public service to rehabilitate the Simons and examine their local and national significance.

Introducing novels by the Nobel Prize for Literature author, Claude Simon, this text gives emphasis to peaks in his literary achievement: "The Flanders Road" (1960), "The Georgics" (1981) and "The Acacia" (1989). Alastair Duncan traces the development and recurrence of major themes, such as war, time and memory, and the constantly renewed inventiveness of Simon's manner. Duncan illustrates and comments on the various critical approaches which have been made to the novels over the years, from phenomenological interpretations, through structuralism to the autobiographical and psychobiographical approaches of the 1980s and 1990s. The text includes a chapter on Simon's most recent works ("Le Jardin des Plantes" 1997 and "Le Tramway" 2001).

More than two years of pandemic is more than two years of corona clutter. Only a staggering level of helpfulness, improvisation and flexibility prevented the healthcare system from collapsing completely. In this highly topical book, pharmacist Simon Krivec tells of his incredible experiences and the stormy ups and downs of pandemic madness, missing masks and disinfectants, and the feeling of having been totally abandoned by a helpless state. We learn, for instance, of the short-term procurement of large quantities of ethanol and the transportation of the highly flammable substance, and just what lured the author – and 71,400 euros in cash – to visit the port of Neuss at night.

Die Zuschreibung von Verantwortung für unsere Handlungen ist ein zentraler Bestandteil unserer moralischen Praxis. Aber sie wirft schwierige philosophische Fragen auf. Müssen wir beispielsweise über einen freien Willen verfügen, um für unsere Handlungen verantwortlich zu sein? Ist Verantwortung ein einheitliches Phänomen oder gibt es verschiedene Arten von Verantwortung? Und können wir nur für unsere Taten verantwortlich sein oder beispielsweise auch für unsere Überzeugungen? Der Band versammelt – zum Teil erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung – die zentralen Texte der philosophischen Debatte über Verantwortung, u. a. von Stephen Darwall, Harry G. Frankfurt, H. L. H. Hart, Thomas Nagel, Peter Strawson, Susan Wolf und Iris Marion Young.

Adam unterwegs: Dreißig Jahre später von Simon Garber Reisen ist eine der großen Freuden im Leben, wie der Russlandamerikaner Adam Gardov gut weiß. Seit dreißig Jahren erforschen dieser brillante Koch, seine Frau und seine Tochter die Wunder Europas und Israels und finden Freude, neue Freunde und Abenteuer, wohin auch immer ihr Fernweh sie führt. Adam unterwegs: 30 Jahre später ist eine Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten, die von Shimon Garber verfasst wurden – ein fiktiver Reisebericht über die Reisen der Familie Gardov. Oft unbeschwert, manchmal traurig und immer interessant, zelebrieren diese Erzählungen die Ähnlichkeiten – und Unterschiede – zwischen Nationen, Kulturen und Küchen. Von einer seltsamen Begegnung mit russischen Gangstern während der Walbeobachtung vor der spanischen Küste bis zu einem friedlichen Treiben im ruhigen Toten Meer erwecken diese Geschichten jeden Ort zum Leben. Dies ist jedoch kein Reiseführer. Stattdessen nutzt der Autor Shimon Garber die Familie Gardov und ihre Abenteuer, um Reisen und Entdeckungen zu feiern. Manchmal steht man allein auf einem Berggipfel. Manchmal versucht man, in einem Hotelzimmer neben einem Weltklasse-Schnarcher einzuschlafen. Aber wie diese Geschichten zeigen, überwiegen die Vorteile immer die Rückschläge. Packen Sie also Ihre Koffer, checken Sie Ihren Reisepass, setzen Sie sich in Ihren bequemsten Stuhl und machen Sie sich mit den Gardovs auf den Weg, um unsere wunderbare Welt zu erkunden.
