Standing alongside Marjane Satrapi s Persepolis and Joe Sacco s Palestine, Nina Bunjevac s Fatherland is a searing work of graphic nonfiction that tells the history of the Balkans in the twentieth century through the experiences of the author and her family. In 1975, fearing her husband s growing fanaticism, Bunjevac s mother flees her marriage and adopted country of Canada, taking Nina then only a toddler and her older sister back to Yugoslavia to live with her parents. Her husband and Nina s father, Peter, was a diehard Serbian nationalist who had been forced to leave his country in the 1950s. Remaining in Canada, Peter became involved with a terrorist organization bent on overthrowing the Communist Yugoslav government and attacking its supporters in North America. Through exquisitely haunting black-and white art, Fatherland tells an unforgettable true story of how the scars of history are borne by family and nation alike."

Federico García Lorca y Salvador Dalí se conocieron en la Residenciade Estudiantes en enero de 1923 y mucho se ha especulado sobre elcarácter de esa amistad. El epistolario entre los dos artistas, uno de los más vibrantes del siglo XX, es la mejor herramienta paraprofundizar en aquella relación, aunque en algunas ocasiones nosobligue a leer entre líneas. Hasta la fecha, nunca se había reunido la totalidad de las cartas conservadas de Lorca y Dalí, a las que sesuman en este libro las que el poeta cruzó con la hermana y el padredel pintor, así como con Lídia de Cadaqués, uno de los personajesmíticos del universo daliniano.En estas cartas, Lorca nos muestra lo mejor de sí mismo y de supoesía, tratado de seducir con la palabra a un Dalí que quiere estar a la altura intelectual del poeta y que, para ello, despliega todo suingenio y sentido del humor.En ellas vemos cómo Dalí absorbe la poesía de Lorca y la incorpora asu propio genio y cómo Lorca se impregna de la locura surrealista deDalí para enriquecer su forma de captar la realidad. Se trata, endefinitiva, de un juego intelectual entre dos estéticas fraternalmente confrontadas pero bien avenidas, que tendrán su apogeo en la críticaconstructiva que Dalí hará del lorquiano Romancero gitano.

This is an unconventional telling of a brand history--but then Breitling has never been one to follow the rules. In 1884, from a modest Swiss workshop, Leon Breitling began a legacy that would redefine the modern chronograph, champion the skies as the official timekeeper of civil aviation, launch a wristwatch into space, and put the first international emergency beacon in a timepiece. Delve into a collection of 140 stories, packed with intimate photos, first-person accounts, and a visual feast of more than 100 vintage and modern watches. This is where you'll meet the visionary leaders, captivating timepieces, and game-changing moves that etched Breitling's name in history. As intricate as the mechanisms of its timepieces, this book celebrates Breitling's commitment to craft, culture, and innovation. An exploration of a legacy, designed not just for those who appreciate the mechanics of a luxury watch, but for anyone inspired by the progress of ingenuity.

Vita Griffini Filii Conani is a critical edition, with facing English translation, of the Latin Life of Gruffudd ap Cynan. It has long been recognized that the surviving Welsh text is a translation of an original Latin life of Gruffudd ap Cynan, and it has always been assumed that the original Latin life had been lost. The main focus of this volume is on Peniarth MS, 434E which has been heavily annotated and corrected. The author shows that the annotation and correction was all intended to bring the text into line with the Welsh text, and that the underlying base text cannot be a translation of the Welsh text. The text edited here is that underlying, original text, and the author demonstrates that this text is not a translation of the Welsh text (as has always been thought) but a copy of the medieval Latin life of Gruffudd ap Cynan which predated the Middle Welsh translation. The effect of this discovery is extremely important for many aspects of medieval history, especially for medieval Wales but, given Gruffudd's Irish and Norse origins, it can also cast a different light on Irish and Norse relations with Wales in the eleventh and twelfth centuries.The differences between the original Latin text and its Welsh translation raise all kinds of questions both for medieval historians and for students of translation literature. The book consists of an Introduction dealing with the significance of the text contained in Peniarth 434E, followed by the Latin text and translation, appendices and indexes.
A tour de force of scholarship and major contribution to the history of thought concerning the nature of personal identity, Internarrative Identity: Placing the Self asks how identity is created and examines the history of conceptions of the self, from Aristotle to Postmodernism, to find the answers.

Der staufische Kaiser Friedrich II. (1194 - 1250) entwickelte in Süditalien ein zentralistisches Staatswesen, das die Geschichte Deutschlands und Italiens nicht unwesentlich beeinflusst hat. Die Nachwelt ist fasziniert von seinem Interesse an den Naturwissenschaften, an philosophischen und theologischen Grundsatzfragen sowie an seinen beeindruckenden Bauten, vor allem Castel del Monte. Seine Sympathie für Judentum und Islam sicherten ihm die Sympathie moderner Betrachter, wurde von seinen Zeitgenossen aber mit sehr gemischten Gefühlen gesehen. Unter ihm erreichte die Auseinandersetzung zwischen Kaiser- und Papsttum ihren Höhepunkt. Päpstliche Propaganda verunglimpfte ihn als Ketzer und Antichrist, er selbst ließ sich als Friedensfürst und Messiaskaiser feiern. Auf dem neuesten Stand der Forschung wird in diesem Buch ein anschauliches Bild von Friedrich II. gezeichnet.
