        Lektüre für Minuten

        Gedanken aus seinem Werk

        by George Bernard Shaw, Ursula Michels-Wenz

        "Die Auswahl »Lektüre für Minuten« vermittelt in konzentrierter Form sie die Gedankenwelt des Werks Bernard Shaws und beleuchtet dieses, ganz im Sinne des Autors, aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven in Kapiteln über Tugend und Laster; über das Glück; Angst und Tod; Mann und Frau, Eltern und Kinder etc. Besonders dem mit Shaw noch nicht vertrauten Leser kann die thematische Aufteilung Zugang zur Vielschichtigkeit seiner Thesen und Verständnis des ebenso beliebten wie umstrittenen Moralisten, der politische und menschliche Kraftfelder mit Scharfsinn und Humor analysiert, wesentlich erleichtern."

        »Seien Sie nicht zu undankbar, mir zu antworten«. Bernard Shaw – Lord Alfred Douglas. Briefwechsel

        by George Bernard Shaw, Lord Alfred Douglas, Mary Hyde, Ursula Michels-Wenz

        George Bernard Shaw wurde am 26. Juli 1856 als Sohn eines Beamten in Dublin geboren. 1876 zog er nach London, wo er sich als einer der führenden Musik- und Theaterkritiker etablieren konnte. Shaw betätigte sich auch auf politischer Bühne und wurde u.a. Mitglied der Fabian Society. Seine schriftstellerische Laufbahn begann er mit fünf erfolglosen Romanen, wandte sich dann dem Schreiben von Dramen – darunter vielen Komödien – zu, die sich durch die Verbindung von Ironie, Satire und Kritik an gesellschaftlichen und politischen Mißständen auszeichnen. Shaws Gesamtwerk umfaßt über 60 Dramen. 1925 wurde er mit dem Literaturnobelpreis ausgezeichnet. Er starb am 2. November 1950 in Ayot Saint Lawrence.

        Conga Line on the Amazon

        by David Myles Robinson

        David Myles Robinson was eight years old when he first got hooked on travel. Since then, he’s seen most of the world—all its continents plus, he laments, “far too many places where travel is now off-limits.”After a lifetime of visiting near and far, in heat and in cold, in comfort and in danger, Robinson has put it all together now in this unique collection of the varied travel adventures he’s found—and the lessons he’s learned from them. A Fellini-esque view of the Amazon, a Mercedes caravan to Istanbul, Jane Goodall's amazing chimps—just part of a travel trunk full of experiences guaranteed to keep you seesawing from “Boy, I'd love to do that" to “Sure glad it was him, not me.”In Conga Line on the Amazon, Robinson brings to his first travel book the same gift for intriguing narrative and sharp characterization that has won praise for his six highly successful novels. Some of his tales may be for the strong of heart, but they’re all for the reader with a yen to be entertained by one intrepid man’s adventures and misadventures exploring the strange and wonderful world we live in.
