Sessenta redacções de crianças Napolitanas

Every man in his humour
Ben Jonson
by Robert Miola
This edition breaks with the usual practice by presenting the 1601 quarto version of Ben Jonson's play, set in Florence, instead of the revised 1616 version, set in London. Robert S. Miola presents a meticulously edited and modernised version of the play as originally acted by the Lord Chamberlain's Men (with Shakespeare in the cast) in 1598. Miola explores the relevance of the Italian setting, particularly the potent, variegated, and fascinating body of myth and legend that constituted Italy for English audiences in 1598. The editor also illuminates the dramatic context of the play, while paying detailed attention to the social, political, and religious contexts. ;

Every Man Out of His Humour
Ben Jonson
by David Bevington, Helen Ostovich, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich
Despite its popularity when it first appeared in print in 1600, Every Man out of His Humour has never appeared as a single modern critical edition until now. The volume's introduction and annotations convey early modern obsessions with wealth and self-display by providing historical contexts and pointing out the continuity of those obsessions into modern life. The play is of interest because of its influence on the course of city comedy and its wealth of information about social relationships and colloquial language at the end of Elizabeth's reign. Jonson's experiments in generating theatrical meaning continued throughout his career, but Every Man out of His Humour - with its youthful vigour and extraordinary visualizations of the urban capacity for self-deceit - is a text that enriches the understanding of all the plays that come after it. ;

Münchhausen
Wunderbare Reisen zu Wasser und zu Lande, Feldzüge und lustige Abenteuer des Freiherrn von Münchhausen wie er dieselben bei einer Flasche im Zirkel seiner Freunde selbst zu erzählen pflegte
by Gottfried August Bürger, Stefanie Harjes, Matthias Reiner
Den Baron von Münchhausen hat es wirklich gegeben, seine haarsträubenden Reiseabenteuer »zu Wasser und zu Lande« hat er zwar nicht selbst niedergeschrieben, aber sie wurden schon nach kurzer Zeit in Deutschland und England zum Bestseller, bald auch in viele andere Sprachen übersetzt und schließlich mehrfach verfilmt. »Durch Lügen kann man also berühmt werden? Aber nur, wenn man so zu lügen versteht wie Münchhausen, nicht etwa um die Leser zu beschwindeln, sondern um sie mit ihrem vollen Einverständnis lächelnd zu unterhalten.« (Erich Kästner) Für diese Ausgabe hat die vielfach ausgezeichnete Illustratorin Stefanie Harjes die schönsten Geschichten des »Lügenbarons« mit ihren unverwechselbaren Bildern versehen.

Escapades in Evolution
Of humans, chimps and other capers of nature
by Matthias Glaubrecht
Humans are rapidly changing the conditions of evolution, and while many species have not yet been discovered, the extinction of numerous species is becoming more and more dramatic. In this book, Matthias Glaubrecht contrasts the impending “end of evolution”, of which the evolutionary biologist writes in his bestseller of the same name, with the beauty, diversity and also the whims of nature. In 36 short chapters, the zoologist presents the animal and the all-tooanimal from the curiosity cabinet of evolution, easy to understand and with a good touch of humour – from dinosaurs with four wings to the annual new “Minnelied” hit of the humpback whale to the women’s communes of bonobos who use sex as a form of social bonding.
