        Briefwechsel 1921 bis 1927

        by Hermann Hesse, Hugo Ball, Emmy Ball-Hennings, Bärbel Reetz, Bärbel Reetz

        Im Dezember 1920 treffen sie sich erstmals im Tessin: Hermann Hesse und Emmy Hennings mit Hugo Ball, die, enttäuscht von den politischen Wirren und konservativen Tendenzen im Nachkriegsdeutschland, entschlossen sind, unter südlichen Himmeln ihre »Flucht aus der Zeit« anzutreten.Die Briefe des exzentrischen Paares, das in der Berliner und Münchener Bohème Aufsehen erregt und 1916 mit der Gründung des »Cabaret Voltaire« in Zürich den Dadaismus begründet hat, und die des Autors des Demian berichten von den Bedingungen ihres Schreibens, von Reiseeindrücken und Begegnungen mit Menschen, die die Kulturszene der zwanziger Jahre prägen. Sie belegen heftige Diskussionen um Religion und Psychoanalyse und dokumentieren ausführlich die Beziehung Hesses zu seiner zweiten Frau Ruth Wenger.Nicht zuletzt ist der Briefwechsel eine Fundgrube für die Entstehungsgeschichte von Siddhartha bis zum Steppenwolf, von Hennings' sensitiver Lyrik und Prosa sowie Balls zeitkritischen und theologischen Werken.

        Leben im Vielleicht. Eine Biographie

        by Bärbel Reetz

        »Ich lebe im - Vielleicht/ Bin eine stumme Frage ...« Die so schreibt, ist eine poetische Maskenspielerin, eine, die in ihrem ungewöhnlichen Leben viel gefragt und noch mehr gewagt hat: Emmy Ball-Hennings (1885-1948). Aus der kleinbürgerlichen Enge Flensburgs treibt ihre »Weglaufsucht« sie mit Wandertheatern durch Deutschland, auf die Bühnen europäischer Varietes und Cabarets, in die Abgründe von Drogen, Prostitution und Gefängnis, in die schrille Berliner und Münchner Vorkriegsboheme. 1915 emigriert sie mit Hugo Ball nach Zürich und begründet mit ihm das »Cabaret Voltaire« - die Keimzelle des Dadaismus. Irrlichtert durch die politisch-journalistische Emigrantenszene um Ball und Ernst Bloch in Bern, begegnet 1920 Hermann Hesse, dem Freund fürs Leben. Die Namen ihrer Freundinnen und Gefährten lesen sich wie eine Enzyklopädie der europäischen Avantgarde.Bärbel Reetz hat sich auf Spurensuche gemacht und Einblick in bisher unbekannte Briefe und Aufzeichnungen genommen. Mit ihrer Biographie wirft sie ein neues Licht auf das ungewöhnliche Leben der Emmy Ball-Hennings.

        Cracked Heart tells the entire life story of a heart-shaped jewel box that becomes more and more precious for the reader, the older it gets. Even though it breaks and loses some of its external beauty, it gains a different kind of aesthetic when it’s put back together.

        Air empire

        British imperial civil aviation, 1919–39

        by Gordon Pirie, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        Air empire is a fresh study of civil aviation as a tool of late British imperialism. The first pioneering flights across the British empire in 1919-20 were flag-waving adventures that recreated an era of plucky British maritime exploration and conquest. Britain's development of international air routes and services was approved, organised and celebrated largely in London; there was some resistance in and beyond the subordinate colonies and dominions. Negotiating the financing and geopolitics of regular commercial air service delayed its inception until the 1930s. Technological, managerial and logistical problems also meant that Britain was slow into the air and slow in the air. Propaganda concealed underperformance and criticism. The study uses archival sources, biographies, industry magazines and newspapers to chronicle the disputed progress toward air empire. The rhetoric behind imperial air service offers a glimpse of late imperial hopes, fears, attitudes and style. Empire air service had emotional appeal and symbolic value, but disappointed in practice.

        Temperament of Public Opinion

        by Zhao Qiang

        What is public opinion? What does public opinion do with you? Does public opinion have a temper? The author joined hands with "public opinion" for more than two decades, and integrated many years of observation experience into the hotspots of public opinion, and wrote "How much is a catty for" false public opinion "," Who sacrificed for public opinion "," You liar "," Wu Hezhong ", etc. Twenty notes, using smooth texts to tell people: Public opinion is everywhere, no one can hide. These twenty notes are both academic and readable, and strive to be targeted and systematic. They will comment on public opinion events, popular science phenomena, analyze public opinion strategies, and discuss public opinion safety in as easy-to-understand manner as possible. These 20 notes, from shallow to deep, from the surface to the inside, can be ordinary readers to understand the phenomenon of public opinion, can also be used by public opinion workers to take stock of public opinion work, or experts and scholars to discuss the safety of public information.

        Terence Fisher

        by Peter Hutchings

        Terence Fisher is best known as the director who made most of the classic Hammer horrors - including The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula and The Devil Rides Out. But there is more to Terence Fisher than Hammer horror. In a busy twenty-five-year career, he directed fifty films, not just horrors but also thrillers, comedies, melodramas and science-fiction. This book offers an appreciation of all of Fisher's films and also gives a sense of his place in British film history. Looking at Fisher's career as a whole not only underlines his importance as a film-maker but also casts a new, interesting light on the areas in which he worked - Gainsborough melodrama, the 1950s B film, 1960s science-fiction and, of course, Hammer, one of the most successful independent film companies in the history of British cinema.

        Air power and colonial control

        by David Omissi

        Air policing was used in many colonial possessions, but its most effective incidence occurred in the crescent of territory from north-eastern Africa, through South-West Arabia, to North West Frontier of India. This book talks about air policing and its role in offering a cheaper means of 'pacification' in the inter-war years. It illuminates the potentialities and limitations of the new aerial technology, and makes important contributions to the history of colonial resistance and its suppression. Air policing was employed in the campaign against Mohammed bin Abdulla Hassan and his Dervish following in Somaliland in early 1920. The book discusses the relationships between air control and the survival of Royal Air Force in Iraq and between air power and indirect imperialism in the Hashemite kingdoms. It discusses Hugh Trenchard's plans to substitute air for naval or coastal forces, and assesses the extent to which barriers of climate and geography continued to limit the exercise of air power. Indigenous responses include being terrified at the mere sight of aircraft to the successful adaptation to air power, which was hardly foreseen by either the opponents or the supporters of air policing. The book examines the ethical debates which were a continuous undercurrent to the stream of argument about repressive air power methods from a political and operational perspective. It compares air policing as practised by other European powers by highlighting the Rif war in Morocco, the Druze revolt in Syria, and Italy's war of reconquest in Libya.

        The silence of Barbara Synge

        by Bill McCormack

        'The silence of Barbara Synge' provides a fascinating companion volume to Bill McCormack's acclaimed 'Fool of the family' (2000), a biography of the playwright J.M. Synge (1871-1909). Taking the alledged death of Mrs John Hatch (née Synge) in 1767 as a focal point, this book explores the varied strands of the Synge family tree in eighteenth and nineteenth century Ireland. Key events in the family's history are carefully documented, including a suicide in 1769 which is echoed in an early Synge play, the effects of the famine which influenced 'The playboy of the western world' in 1907, and the behaviour of Francis Synge at the time of the union. 'The silence of Barbara Synge' is a unique work of cultural enquiry, combining archival research, literary criticism, and religious and medical history to pull the strands together and relate them to the family's literary descendent J.M. Synge. ;

        Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation

        Passengers, pilots, publicity

        by Gordon Pirie, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        The new activity of trans-continental civil flying in the 1930s is a useful vantage point for viewing the extension of British imperial attitudes and practices. Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation examines the experiences of those (mostly men) who flew solo or with a companion (racing or for leisure), who were airline passengers (doing colonial administration, business or research), or who flew as civilian air and ground crews. For airborne elites, flying was a modern and often enviable way of managing, using and experiencing empire. On the ground, aviation was a device for asserting old empire: adventure and modernity were accompanied by supremacism. At the time, however, British civil imperial flying was presented romantically in books, magazines and exhibitions. Eighty years on, imperial flying is still remembered, reproduced and re-enacted in caricature.

        Plagues of the heart

        Crisis and covenanting in a seventeenth-century Scottish town

        by Michelle D. Brock

        Using a wide range of archival material, Plagues of the heart provides a fresh understanding of religion and identity not only in seventeenth-century Scotland, but in protestant communities across the early modern world grappling with a range of interrelated crises. By examining the 'culture of covenanting' in the southwestern port-city of Ayr between the British civil wars and the Revolution of 1688, this book reveals how adherence to the National Covenant of 1638 and the Solemn League and Covenant of 1643 informed the identities and lived experiences of a generation of Scots. This is the compelling story of one Scottish town and its remarkable minister, but it demonstrates how in the early modern period, especially when it came to matters of faith, the local was imbedded rather than isolated, engaged rather than insular.
