        Puma

        By Anthony Burgess

        by Paul Wake, Andrew Biswell

        Puma - disentangled from the three-part structure of The End of the World News and published here for the first time in its intended format - is Anthony Burgess's lost science fiction novel. Set some way into the future, the story details the crushing of the planet Earth by a heavyweight intruder from a distant galaxy - the dreaded Puma. It is a visceral book about the end of history as man has known it. Despite its apocalyptic theme, its earthquakes and tidal waves, murder and madness, Puma is a gloriously-comic novel, steeped in the rich literary heritage of a world soon to be extinguished and celebrating humanity in all its squalid glory. In Burgess's hands this meditation on destruction, mitigated by the hope of salvation for a select few, becomes powerful exploration of friendship, violence, literature and science at the end of the world.

        A Vision of Battlements

        by Anthony Burgess

        by Andrew Biswell, Paul Wake

        A Vision of Battlements is the first novel by the writer and composer Anthony Burgess, who was born in Manchester in 1917. Set in Gibraltar during the Second World War, the book follows the fortunes of Richard Ennis, an army sergeant and incipient composer who dreams of composing great music and building a new cultural world after the end of the war. Following the example of his literary hero, James Joyce, Burgess takes the structure of his book from Virgil's Aeneid. The result is, like Joyce's Ulysses, a comic rewriting of a classical epic, whose critique of the Army and the postwar settlement is sharp and assured. The Irwell Edition is the first publication of Burgess's forgotten masterpiece since 1965. This new edition includes an introduction and notes by Andrew Biswell, author of a prize-winning biography of Anthony Burgess.

        The Pianoplayers

        by Anthony Burgess

        by Will Carr, Paul Wake, Andrew Biswell

        This novel is one of Anthony Burgess's most accessible and entertaining works. By turns bawdy, raucous, tender and bittersweet, and full of music and songs, this is a warm and affectionate portrait of the working-class Lancashire of the 1920s and 1930s that he knew from his own early life. The Pianoplayers is a funny, moving, autobiographical novel that brings to life the world of silent cinemas and music-halls of 1920s Manchester and Blackpool. Fully annotated and with a new introduction, this is an authoritative text for a new generation of readers. Part of the forthcoming Irwell Edition of the Works of Anthony Burgess, this book offers an opportunity to reappraise an unjustly neglected novel important to our understanding of Burgess's wider oeuvre. The 2017 Burgess centenary makes this a key moment for reflection on the life and work of a major figure in twentieth century letters.

        Heidnische Mysterien in der Renaissance

        by Edgar Wind, Christa Münstermann, Gisela Heinrichs, Bernhard Buschendorf, Bernhard Buschendorf, Bernhard Buschendorf

        Die Heidnischen Mysterien handeln vom »Bilddenken« des Neuplatonismus und von seinem glanzvollen Ausdruck in der Renaissancekunst. Heidnische Mythologie, christliche Bildersprache, religiöse Spekulation und philosophische Reflexion verschmelzen zu jener »poetischen Theologie«, deren verschiedene Ausprägungen bei Philosophen, Dichtern und bildenden Künstlern der Renaissance (unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des florentinischen Künstler- und Gelehrtenkreises um Lorenzo di Medici) aufgezeigt werden. Aus den Mosaiksteinen dieses Denkens rekonstruiert Wind allmählich das System eines »orphischen Pantheon« und lässt dabei seine ideengeschichtliche Explikation immer wieder in faszinierende Interpretationen bildkünstlerischer Werke der Renaissance münden.
