    Zusammenfassung: ""A comienzos de 1932 Walter Benjamin escribe en una libreta de apuntes una crónica autobiográfica sobre sus días de infancia en Berlín, su ciudad natal. A menudo la imagen recordada es una palabra, bajo la especie de una imagen acústica, tanto como porta el signo, ya que muchos recuerdos son auditivos. Como si oyese constantemente en la cámara de ecos de la memoria, la remota experiencia resuena con todos los sonidos diminutos de la vida común. El narrador se siente envuelto en un mar de palabras como si fuera un molusco dentro de su caparazón en el vasto océano del siglo diecinueve, que percibe las resonancias en el agua profunda. El cuerpo mismo atiende la resonancia del recuerdo en el lenguaje. Las palabras son hechos sonoros que producen sentidos nuevos y en ellas lo vivido retorna en el relámpago de su actualidad." Jorge Monteleone."--Contratapa.

    Zusammenfassung: "The Farm in the Green Mountains is the story of a family finding home--halfway across the world from their homeland. Alice Herdan-Zuckmayer and her husband, the playwright Carl Zuckmayer, lived at the heart of intellectual life in Weimar Germany, counting among their circle Stefan Zweig, Alma Mahler, and Bertolt Brecht. After Carl's work fell afoul of the Nazis, however, the couple and their two daughters were forced to flee Europe. Los Angeles didn't suit them and neither did New York, but then a chance stroll in the Vermont woods led them to Backwoods Farm, the eighteenth-century house where they would live for the next five years. In Europe, the Zuckmayers were accustomed to servants; in Vermont, they found themselves joyfully building chicken coops and refereeing fights between unruly ducks. Despite the endless work a new farm required and brutal winters that triggered bouts of melancholy, Alice discovered that in America she had found her "native land." And her generous, surprising, and witty memoir, a bestseller in postwar Germany, has all the charm of a love story with a happy ending"--(Provided by publisher.)

    Zusammenfassung: "Gleaned from Rainer Maria Rilke's voluminous, never-before-translated correspondence, this book collects the poet's best writings on grief and loss in one place for the first time. The result is a profound vision of the mourning process and a meditation on death's place in our lives, as well as a compilation of sensitive and moving expressions of consolation and condolence. Following the format of Rilke's classic, Letters to a Young Poet, this volume arranges a series of letters to Rilke's mourning friends, composed into a continuous, uninterrupted sequence, showcasing the full range of Rilke's thoughts on finding meaning and, perhaps, some form of comfort in the process of grieving" --(Provided by publisher.)

    Zusammenfassung: "Caffè e sigarette" è un'opera di autofiction della narrativa tedesca contemporanea. Una definizione che coglie in parte una indiscussa verità, quella per la quale Schirach parla, in questo libro, di sè e della propria vita con gli strumenti propri della fiction, ma che non traduce pienamente l'ambizione letteraria che alimenta queste pagine. Schirach rifugge dalla presunzione dell'autorappresentazione, ben conscio dell'inafferrabilità del Sè, persino della sua inattendibilità, se separato dalle circostanze, dagli eventi, dalle situazioni e dalle vite altrui che lo determinano come tale. Tratta dunque della propria esistenza laconicamente, per via indiretta e per interposta persona, come si suole dire. Ripercorre rapidamente gli odori e i colori della propria infanzia, la tragedia della morte del padre, vissuta a quindici anni, la presenza sempre incombente, come un macigno ineliminabile, del fantasma del nonno Baldur, i fumatori incalliti che sullo schermo e nella vita reale hanno acceso la sua immaginazione - da Jean-Paul Belmondo, che in À bout de souffle muore sul boulevard parigino con la sigaretta in bocca, a Helmut Schmidt, che si faceva ovunque beffe del divieto di fumo -, gli incontri rivelatori dell'insensata finitezza della vita, come quello con l'anziana e ricca signora che non riesce a perdonare il suo amante, colpevole, ai suoi occhi, di essere morto per una ridicola puntura di vespa durante un picnic. Scene, personaggi ed eventi suggestivi, attraverso i quali traspare il personaggio Ferdinand von Schirach e, soprattutto, si rivela la sua pacata malinconia, qu.

    Zusammenfassung: Son of the famous Thomas Mann, homosexual, drug-addicted, and forced to flee from his fatherland, the gifted writer Klaus Mann's comparatively short life was as artistically productive as it was devastatingly dislocated. Best-known today as the author of Mephisto, the literary enfant terrible of the Weimar era produced seven novels, a dozen plays, four biographies, and three autobiographies-among them the first works in Germany to tackle gay issues-amidst a prodigious artistic output. He was among the first to take up his pen against the Nazis, as a reward for which he was blacklisted and denounced as a dangerous half-Jew, his books burnt in public squares around Germany, and his citizenship revoked. Having served with the U.S. military in Italy, he was nevertheless undone by anti-Communist fanatics in Cold War-era America and Germany, dying in France (though not, as all other books contend, by his own hand) at age forty-two. Powerful, revealing, and compulsively readable, this first English-language biography of Klaus Mann charts the effects of reactionary politics on art and literature and tells the moving story of a supreme talent destroyed by personal circumstance and the seismic events of the twentieth century.

    Zusammenfassung: "From the best-selling author of The Invention of Nature comes an exhilarating story about a remarkable group of young rebels-poets, novelists, philosophers--who, through their epic quarrels, passionate love stories, heartbreaking grief, and radical ideas launched Romanticism onto the world stage, inspiring some of the greatest thinkers of the time. When did we begin to be as self-centered as we are today? At what point did we expect to have the right to determine our own lives? When did we first ask the question, How can I be free? It all began in a quiet university town in Germany in the 1790s, when a group of playwrights, poets, and writers put the self at center stage in their thinking, their writing, and their lives. This brilliant circle included the famous poets Goethe, Schiller, and Novalis; the visionary philosophers Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel; the contentious Schlegel brothers; and, in a wonderful cameo, Alexander von Humboldt. And at the heart of this group was the formidable Caroline Schlegel, who sparked their dazzling conversations about the self, nature, identity, and freedom. The French revolutionaries may have changed the political landscape of Europe, but the young Romantics incited a revolution of the mind that transformed our world forever. We are still empowered by their daring leap into the self, and by their radical notions of the creative potential of the individual, the highest aspirations of art and science, the unity of nature, and the true meaning of freedom. We also still walk the same tightrope between meaningful self-fulfillment and destructive narcissism, between the rights of the individual and our responsibilities toward our community and future generations. At the heart of this inspiring book is the extremely modern tension between the dangers of selfishness and the thrilling possibilities of free will"--(Provided by publisher.)
