Simon Weinberg is dead. And, on a November morning, six people gather at his funeral - brothers and a sister, lovers and in-laws. Mourning allows them a special privilege and, for a few hours, they are isolated in another world under a lingering sun, in the shadow of the deceased. Written by the winner of the award-winning Art, Conversations after a Burial is a savage but richly comic play which explores that ineffable moment of mourning, when the newly deceased is still almost palpable, the moment in which one can maintain the memory of a breath, the intense pause between absence and the return to everyday existence, between loss and life.
Winner, 2025 Lionel Trilling Book Award, Columbia College Winner, 2024 Book Award, History Division, Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Honorable Mention, 2024 Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for East Asian Studies, Modern Language Association From the toppling of the Qing Empire in 1911 to the political campaigns and mass protests in the Mao and post-Mao eras, revolutionary upheavals characterized Chinas twentieth century. In Revolutionary Becomings¸ Ying Qian studies documentary film as an eventful medium deeply embedded in these upheavals and as a prism to investigate the entwined histories of media and Chinas revolutionary movements. With meticulous historical excavation and attention to intermedial practices and transnational linkages, Qian discusses how early media practitioners at the turn of the twentieth century intermingled with rival politicians and warlords as well as civic and business organizations. She reveals the foundational role documentary media played in the Chinese Communist Revolution as a bridge between Marxist theories and Chinese historical conditions. In considering the years after the Communist Party came to power, Qian traces the dialectical relationships between media practice, political relationality, and revolutionary epistemology from production campaigns during the Great Leap Forward to the class struggles during the Cultural Revolution and the reorganization of society in the post-Mao decade. Exploring a wide range of previously uninvestigated works and intervening in key debates in documentary studies and film and media history, Revolutionary Becomings provides a groundbreaking assessment of the significance of media to the historical unfolding and actualization of revolutionary movements.

Many critics regard the work of Saint John of the Cross (1542-91), the 16th-century mystic, to be among the finest poetry Spain has produced. This bilingual edition, the first in modern English, was originally published in hard cover in 1968 by the Indiana University Press. Most of these poems were written during a period of nine months, in 1577-78, when Saint John (San Juan de la Cruz) was imprisoned and tortured in the dungeon of a small Carmelite monastery in Toledo, and their recurrent motifs are both metaphysical and deeply personal. Saint Johns poetry of love and joy describes the souls passage through dark night to final illumination in mystical union with Absolute Being. The allegory the poet uses is that of earthly love, and the poems are strikingly effective on the immediate level of personal experience, quite apart from their theological meanings.

Pure Pleasure is an idiosyncratic antidote to the 'definitive' lists of twentieth-century classics.

The result is a wonderful and witty guide for anyone looking for new recommendations or for a discussion of books they already know and love. First published weekly in the Sunday Times as 'John Carey's Books of the Century', the accompanying essays generated intense reader interest, and this collection includes a discussion of the letters of applause, outrage, debate and dissent they provoked.

Noble Fortunes is the story of how, between 899 and 975, England was transformed from an idea into a kingdom. It is the story of the unification of a nation. It is also the story of a royal family, with a shadowy patriarch and a warrior princess and a dissolute reprobate. It is the story of a deeply principled archbishop and a deeply unprincipled archbishop. It is a story of heroic deeds and squalid misdeeds. Above all, it is the story of an ongoing contest for power: between rival candidates for the throne, between Crown and Church, between north and south, and between the English and the Norse. TD Asch looks at the story of England from the accession of Edward the Elder in 899 to the death of Edgar in 975. It's the story of a royal family, and how the children and grandchildren of a legendary patriarch forged a nation out of rivalrous kingdoms. Autorid: T.D. Asch

"Ronja Räubertochter" ist eine herzerwärmende Geschichte, die in der faszinierenden Kulisse eines mittelalterlichen skandinavischen Waldes spielt. Astrid Lindgren entführt ihre Leser in das Leben von Ronja, der Tochter eines Räuberhauptmanns, die in einer stürmischen Nacht zur Welt kommt, in der ein Blitz die Räuberburg ihres Vaters spaltet. Ronjas Kindheit ist geprägt von der Entdeckung der wilden Schönheit der Natur, der tiefen Wälder und geheimnisvollen Kreaturen, die dort leben. Sie wächst in einer Umgebung auf, die von Liebe und der starken Bindung zu ihrer Familie geprägt ist, lernt aber auch die Bedeutung von Freiheit, Unabhängigkeit und moralischer Integrität kennen. Ihre Mutter, eine weise Frau, lehrt sie, ihren eigenen Weg zu finden und für das einzustehen, was sie für richtig hält. Das Leben nimmt eine unerwartete Wendung, als Ronja Birk, den Sohn des verfeindeten Räuberclans der Borkas, kennenlernt. Trotz ihrer gegensätzlichen Herkunft und der tief verwurzelten Feindschaft zwischen ihren Familien entwickelt sich zwischen den beiden eine tiefe und unzertrennliche Freundschaft. Diese Beziehung führt sie durch zahlreiche Abenteuer und Herausforderungen, die nicht nur ihre Freundschaft stärken, sondern auch die starren Feindbilder ihrer Familien in Frage stellen. Ihre gemeinsamen Erlebnisse im Wald, wo sie vorübergehend Zuflucht vor der Ablehnung ihrer Familien finden, sind ein Sinnbild für Mut, Toleranz und die transformative Kraft der Freundschaft. Die Geschichte mündet in einer kraftvollen Botschaft der Versöhnung und der Hoffnung, dass Liebe und Verständnis tiefe Gräben überwinden können. Lindgren verwebt dabei gekonnt Elemente der skandinavischen Mythologie und Naturverbundenheit mit zeitlosen Themen der persönlichen Entwicklung, des Friedens und der Überwindung von Vorurteilen. Einzigartiges, modernes Cover von Peter Bergting, einem der führenden Fantasy-Illustratoren Schwedens, bringt frischen Wind in diesen Klassiker. Zeitlose Themen wie Liebe, Natur, Mut, Freiheit und Mitmenschlichkeit werden in der Geschichte meisterhaft erkundet und laden zur Reflexion ein. Weckt die Liebe zur Natur und unterstreicht die Bedeutung des Draußenseins und der Erkundung der natürlichen Welt. Ronjas Mut und Eigenständigkeit sind inspirierende Beispiele für junge Leser in einer Geschichte, die Selbstvertrauen und die Fähigkeit, für das einzustehen, was man für richtig hält, fördert - wichtige Fähigkeiten in einer Welt, die kritisches Denken und Selbstbehauptung erfordert. Lehrt den Wert tiefer Freundschaft und zeigt, dass wahre Verbundenheit über familiäre und gesellschaftliche Grenzen hinausgehen kann. In einer Welt, die immer noch von Vorurteilen und Konflikten geprägt ist, bietet die Geschichte ein starkes Plädoyer für Empathie und Verständnis. Kinder lernen, dass Konflikte durch Dialog und Verständnis gelöst werden können. Erkundung von komplexen Emotionen wie Freude, Wut, Traurigkeit und Vergebung. Ideal für Kinder ab 9 Jahren - es finden aber auch Erwachsene in Ronjas Abenteuern wertvolle Lehren und Unterhaltung.
