November 2009Bright Star
Die Geschichte von John Keats und Fanny Brawne
by John Keats, Adolf Girschick, Christa Schuenke, Wulf Teichmann, Jane Campion
Mit ihrem Oscar-gekrönten Meisterwerk Das Piano begeisterte Jane Campion ein Millionenpublikum. In ihrem Film Bright Star erzählt sie von der großen Liebe zwischen John Keats und Fanny Brawne. Es ist eine Liebe, die zum Scheitern verurteilt scheint: Zu groß sind die Unterschiede zwischen der Schneiderin und dem hochbegabten Dichter. Auch Fannys Mutter und Johns Mentor sind gegen die Verbindung. Meist voneinander getrennt, bleibt den Liebenden nur ihr inniger Briefwechsel, um einander nahe zu sein. Das Buch zum Film versammelt die Briefe von Keats an Fanny und die Gedichte, die er ihr widmete. In ihrem Vorwort erzählt Jane Campion die Geschichte dieser unvergänglichen Liebe. Farbige Fotos aus dem Film illustrieren den Band.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2021Critical theory and feeling
The affective politics of the early Frankfurt School
by Simon Mussell
This book offers a unique and timely reading of the early Frankfurt School in response to the recent 'affective turn' within the arts and humanities. Resisting the overly rationalist tendencies of political philosophy, it argues that critical theory actively cultivates a powerful connection between thinking and feeling, and rediscovers a range of often neglected concepts that were of vital importance to the first generation of critical theorists, including melancholia, hope, (un)happiness, objects and mimesis. In doing so, it brings the dynamic work of Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Ernst Bloch and Siegfried Kracauer into conversation with more recent debates around politics and affect. An important intervention in the fields of affect studies and social and political thought, Critical theory and feeling shows that sensuous experience is at the heart of the Frankfurt School's affective politics.

Exclusive deluxe edition on the traditional heritage of Ukraine with special features - die cutting, foil stamping, blind embossing, textured varnish.

We carefully packed them in our Hope Chest as if it were a cultural Ark preserving its treasures from the outpour of globalizing floods — so that they may be returned to where they belong. These are not simple belongings but powerful totems. In having them in your home, goodness is instilled — for in stillness, you find yourself.

Memoirs2023#Mariupol #Hope
by Nadia Sukhorukova
Could anyone imagine that in the twenty-first century, a city of an independent European country could be erased from the face of the earth, while its people were put on the brink of humanitarian catastrophe? For almost three months, in real-time, the whole world had been watching the Russian army slowly destroy Mariupol—one of the key cities of eastern Ukraine. “I was born in Mariupol and lived there all my life. It’s the city of my childhood, of my love and my happiness. I’ve seen it in different shapes and forms, but I’ve never thought that I would see it dead. I couldn’t even imagine that I would be describing its agony. The characters of this book are real people. They are my friends, relatives, and neighbors. During the blockade, bombardments, constant shelling, and hunger, we, the residents of Mariupol, tried to survive. I was writing down everything that was happening to us to keep my sanity. I didn’t think I had a chance to escape this hell and that’s why I described all events as they really happened”, writes Nadia Sukhorukova about her book.

Scinece or Fiction?
The Phony Side of Particle Physics
by Ofer Comay
Countries across the globe invest tens of billions in particle physics, which relies on the Standard Model. This model is styled by its proponents as “the most accurate theory in history, in any field.” This book presents a long series of failures found with the theory: its inability to explain basic phenomena known since the 1930s; its prediction of particles and materials that have refused to be uncovered even in lunar rocks; the growing recognition that basic assumptions underlying the model are incorrect; and more. This is the first time these well-documented data have been compiled in a simple and coherent fashion, allowing science enthusiasts to understand the scientific failures and the sociological reasons for scientists' inability to openly discuss these flaws. Only a few dare to express their doubts: “Ironically, from the perspective of QCD, the foundations of nuclear physics appear distinctly unsound.”—Frank Wilczek, Nobel laureate, 2004 (QCD is a central part of the Standard Model.) An English-language eBook edition was published in late 2014 by Samuel Wachtman’s Sons, Inc., CA. 292 pages, 15 x 22.5 cm
