Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) gehört zu den bedeutendsten Künstlerpersönlichkeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts, viele seiner Werke sind zu Ikonen des Expressionismus geworden. Schwankend zwischen Selbstzweifel und Egozentrik schuf der Künstler mit großem Gespür für die Strömungen und Verwerfungen seiner Zeit ein unvergleichlich facettenreiches Werk.
The first sailors braved the North Sea and the Baltic in open wooden boats: their aims were varied - to fish, to trade, to conquer and plunder. Without maps or compasses, they steered by the sun or by landmarks on the coast. Nevertheless they discovered Iceland and North America and explored the rivers that flowed through Europe and Russia into the Black Sea. With the Frisians and the Vikings, extensive trade routes, better ships, larger harbours and wealthy coastal towns developed. The pinnacle of these advances was the Hansa, an association of port cities running from Bruges to Riga. In recent years archaeologists have discovered much about the development of their ships: the elegant Viking longboat, the ubiquitous cog, the carrack and the caravel. Much, too, has been revealed about life in Viking settlements and the bustling Hanseatic cities. In the first paperback edition of this engaging and highly-illustrated study, Dirk Meier brings to life the world of the medieval seaman, based on evidence from ship excavations and contemporary accounts of voyages.Dr Dirk Meier teaches ancient and medieval history and is Head of Coastal Archaeology at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel, Germany.
Based on original archive material and interviews with surviving members of SOE and Czech military intelligence, this story of danger and tragedy is as exciting and strange as a spy thriller.

Les Pauvres Gens est le premier roman publié par Dostoïevski, celui qui le rendit d'emblée célèbre. Il a raconté comment l'idée lui en était venue : en se promenant un soir d'hiver dans Pétersbourg. Toute la ville lui apparut comme une rêverie fantastique. "C'est alors que m'apparut une autre histoire, dans quelque coin sombre, un coeur de conseiller titulaire, honnête et pur, candide et dévoué à ses chefs, et avec lui, une jeune fille, offensée et triste, et leur émouvante histoire me déchira le coeur."Toute la littérature du XXᵉ siècle est dans la dernière phrase : "Vous savez, je ne sais même plus ce que j'écris, je ne sais plus rien, je ne me relis même pas, je ne me corrige pas. J'écris seulement pour écrire, pour m'entretenir avec vous un peu plus longtemps..."
