Das Tagebuch der Anne Frank - Wissenschaftlich fundierte Neuausgabe (2022) mit Anmerkungen und Fußnoten | Hätte Anne Frank die Nazizeit überlebt, wäre wahrscheinlich eine große Schriftstellerin aus ihr geworden. Ihrem Tagebuch vertraute sie diesen Lebenstraum an: »Du weißt ja schon lange, dass es mein größtes Ziel ist, einmal Journalistin und später eine berühmte Schriftstellerin zu werden [...] Nach dem Krieg will ich auf jeden Fall ein Buch mit dem Titel 'Das Hinterhaus' herausbringen [...], mein Tagebuch kann mir als Grundstein dafür dienen.« | Den ersten Tagebucheintrag schrieb Anne am 12.Juni 1942, den letzten am 1.August 1944, vier Tage vor der Verhaftung. Alle Bewohner des Verstecks im 'Hinterhaus' wurden von den Nazis nach Auschwitz und in andere Lager verschleppt. Im März 1945 starb Anne, ebenso wie ihre Schwester Margot, an Entkräftung und Typhus im Konzentrationslager Bergen-Belsen. Der genaue Todestag ist nicht bekannt. | Anne Franks Tagebuch gilt heute als bedeutendstes schriftliches Zeugnis aus Zeit der Nazi-Diktatur. | Eine ausführliche Darstellung zur Urheberrechtsfrage findet sich im Vorwort dieses Buchs.

Avec Les Fleurs du Mal commence la poésie moderne : le lyrisme subjectif s'efface devant cette " impersonnalité volontaire " que Baudelaire a lui-męme postulée ; la nature et ses retours cycliques cčdent la place au décor urbain et ŕ ses changements marqués par l'Histoire, et il arrive que le počte accčde au beau par l'expérience de la laideur. Quant au mal affiché dčs le titre du recueil, s'il nous apporte la preuve que l'art ici se dénoue de la morale, il n'en préserve pas moins la profonde spiritualité des počmes.D'oů la stupeur que Baudelaire put ressentir quand le Tribunal de la Seine condamna la premičre édition de 1857 pour " outrage ŕ la morale publique et aux bonnes moeurs " et l'obligea ŕ retrancher six pičces du volume - donc ŕ remettre en cause la structure du recueil qu'il avait si précisément concertée. En 1861, la seconde édition fut augmentée de trente-cinq pičces, puis Baudelaire continua d'écrire pour son livre d'autres počmes encore. Mais aprčs la censure, c'est la mort qui vint l'empęcher de donner aux Fleurs du Mal la forme définitive qu'il souhaitait - et que nous ne connaîtrons jamais.Préface d'Yves Bonnefoy.Edition de John E. Jackson.

The fantasy classic, now in beautiful new deluxe trade paperback edition. From The Last Unicorn : "The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone. She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam, but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night. But her eyes were still clear and unwearied, and she still moved like a shadow on the sea..."

Since his first appearance in Beetons Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyles Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in two volumes, this new Bantam edition presents all 56 short stories and 4 novels featuring Conan Doyles classic hero -- a truly complete collection now available in paperback! Volume I includes the early novel, A Study in Scarlet, that introduced the eccentric genius of Sherlock Holmes to the world. This baffling murder mystery, with the cryptic word Rache written in blood, first brought Holmes together with Dr. John Watson. Next, The Sign of Four presents Holmess famous "seven percent solution" and the strange puzzle of Marry Mortson in the quintessential locked room mystery. Also included are Holmes's feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases such as the chilling Adventure of the Specked Band, the baffling riddle of The Musgrave Ritual, and the ingeniously plotted The Five Orange Pips, tales that bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes earned his reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.

»Selbst dort, wo er zurückblickt, ist es die Gegenwart, die er anspricht.« Wilhelm von Sternburg über Erich Maria Remarque.»Die Nacht von Lissabon« ist Remarques ergreifendster Roman. Es ist die Geschichte vom Elend und von der Größe des Menschen im Krieg, eine Geschichte, die zeigt, dass es weder einen Preis für Menschlichkeit gibt noch einen Preis für Unmenschlichkeit. Es gibt nur Geschichten von Jammer und Elend, von Größe, Liebe und Leidenschaft. Der Roman ist ein Gleichnis der absurden menschlichen Situation im Machtbereich der Diktatur.
Mir schiene für sehr viele schwer seelenkranke Menschen der rasche Verlust ihres Vermögens und die Erschütterung ihres Glaubens an die Heiligkeit des Geldes durchaus kein Unglück, sondern die sicherste, ja einzig mögliche Rettung zu bedeuten, und ebenso erscheint mir inmitten unseres heutigen Lebens, im Gegensatz zum alleinigen Kultus der Arbeit und des Geldes der Sinn für das Spiel des Augenblicks, das Offenstehen für den Zufall etwas durchaus Wünschenswertes, woran wir alle sehr Mangel leiden.§Wir sollen nicht aus der Vita activa in die Vita contemplativa fliehen, noch umgekehrt, sondern zwischen beiden wechselnd unterwegs sein, in beiden zuhause sein, an beiden teilhaben.

"In the vast literature of love, The Seducer's Diary is an intricate curiosity--a feverishly intellectual attempt to reconstruct an erotic failure as a pedagogic success, a wound masked as a boast," observes John Updike in his foreword to Sren Kierkegaard's narrative. This work, a chapter from Kierkegaard's first major volume, Either/Or, springs from his relationship with his fiance, Regine Olsen. Kierkegaard fell in love with the young woman, ten years his junior, proposed to her, but then broke off their engagement a year later. This event affected Kierkegaard profoundly. Olsen became a muse for him, and a flood of volumes resulted. His attempt to set right, in writing, what he feels was a mistake in his relationship with Olsen taught him the secret of "indirect communication." The Seducer's Diary, then, becomes Kierkegaard's attempt to portray himself as a scoundrel and thus make their break easier for her. Matters of marriage, the ethical versus the aesthetic, dread, and, increasingly, the severities of Christianity are pondered by Kierkegaard in this intense work.
The Pictures of Dorian Gray is a literary work that typically induces strong emotions from the reader. They either love it or hate it. For one thing Oscar Wilde depicted the world as he saw it; harsh, shallow and terminal. Brutal honestly is often not accepted en masse and some readers expect a feel good story as entertainment. Critics say that the novel is homoerotic and vulgar. It is important to know that "Socratic love" has been around for a long time and it was considered quite natural by the Greeks whom we consider the founders of our western civilization. The young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward, who is greatly impressed by Dorian's physical beauty and becomes strongly infatuated with him, believing that his beauty is responsible for a new mode in his art. The fact that Basil Hallward is a bachelor hints that he is not interested in the opposite sex. Meeting in Basil's garden, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil's, and becomes enthralled by Lord Henry's world view. The novel has strong Faustian theme whereby Lord Henry Wotton can be construed as the tempter and the "dark side".

2011 Reprint of 1922 First Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The Martino Reprint is a exact facsimile of the original 1922 Edition published in Paris by Sylvia Beach in 1922. One of the most important works of Modernist literature, "Ulysses" has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire modernist movement. "Ulysses" chronicles the passage of Leopold Bloom through Dublin during an ordinary day, 16 June 1904 (the day of Joyce's first date with his future wife, Nora Barnacle). The title alludes to Odysseus (Ulysses), the hero of Homer's Odyssey, and establishes a series of parallels between characters and events in Homer's poem and Joyce's novel (e.g., the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus). The novel is approximately 265,000 words in length and uses a lexicon of 30,030 words (including proper names, plurals and various verb tenses), divided into eighteen episodes. Since publication, the book attracted controversy and scrutiny, ranging from early obscenity trials to protracted textual "Joyce Wars." Ulysses' stream-of-consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose-full of puns, parodies, and allusions, as well as its rich characterizations and broad humor, made the book a highly regarded novel in the Modernist pantheon. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Ulysses first on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
'...in suspecting General Tilney of either murdering or shutting up his wife, she had scarcely sinned against his character, or magnified his cruelty.' Northanger Abbey is about the misadventures of Catherine Morland, young, ingenuous, and mettlesome, and an indefatigable reader of gothic novels. Their romantic excess and dark overstatement feed her imagination, as tyrannical fathers and diabolical villains work their evil on forlorn heroines in isolated settings. What could be more remote from the uneventful securities of life in the midland counties of England? Yet as Austen brilliantly contrasts fiction with reality, ordinary life takes a more sinister turn, and edginess and circumspection are reaffirmed alongside comedy and literary burlesque. Also including Austen's other short fictions, Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sanditon, this valuable new edition examines the ambitious and innovative works with which she inaugurated as well as closed her career. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Le Second Empire vise à faire de Paris la capitale de la mode et du luxe. La ville se modernise. Les boutiques du Paris ancien laissent place peu à peu aux grands magasins, dans le voisinage des boulevards et de la gare Saint-Lazare. La nouvelle architecture illustre l'évolution des goûts : on entre dans le royaume de l'illusion. Octave Mouret, directeur du Bonheur des Dames, se lance dans le nouveau commerce. L'exploit du romancier est d'avoir transformé un épisode de notre histoire économique en aventure romanesque et en intrigue amoureuse. Rien d'idyllique pourtant : le magasin est construit sur un cadavre ensanglanté, et l'argent corrompt tout. Pour Zola, la réussite du grand magasin s'explique par la vanité des bourgeoises et le règne du paraître. Il nous décrit ici la fin et la naissance d'un monde : Paris, incarné ici dans un de ses mythes principaux, devient l'exemple de la cité moderne.
