Pages : 497
Book Description
From critically acclaimed Eastern Front expert Prit Buttar comes this paperback edition of his detailed and engrossing account of the World War II's Eastern Front as German forces were driven back following the Battle of Kursk. Making use of the extensive memoirs of German and Russian soldiers to bring this story to life, Retribution follows on from On A Knife's Edge, which described the encirclement and destruction of the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad and the offensives and counteroffensives that followed throughout the winter of 1942–43. Beginning towards the end of the Battle of Kursk, Retribution tells the story of the massive Soviet offensive that followed the end of Operation Zitadelle, which saw depleted and desperate German troops forced out of Western Ukraine. This title describes in detail the little-known series of near-constant battles that saw a weakened German army confronted by a tactically sophisticated force of over six million Soviet troops. As a result, the Wehrmacht was driven back to the Dnepr and German forces remaining in the Kuban Peninsula south of Rostov were forced back into the Crimea, a retreat which would become one of many in the months that followed.

A Gorgon's Mask
Author: Lewis A. Lawson
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9042017457
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
The thesis of A Gorgon's mask: The Mother in Thomas Mann's Fiction depends upon three psychoanalytic concepts: Freud's early work on the relationship between the infant and its mother and on the psychology of artistic creation, Annie Reich's analysis of the grotesque-comic sublimation, and Edmund Bergler's analysis of writer's block. Mann's crisis of sexual anxiety in late adolescence is presented as the defining moment for his entire artistic life. In the throes of that crisis he included a sketch of a female as Gorgon in a book that would not escape his mother's notice. But to defend himself from being overcome by the Gorgon-mother's stare he employed the grotesque-comic sublimation, hiding the mother figure behind fictional characters physically attractive but psychologically repellent, all the while couching his fiction in an ironic tone that evoked humor, however lacking in humor the subtext might be. In this manner he could deny to himself that the mother figure always lurked in his work, and by that denial deny that he was a victim of oral regression. For, as Edmund Bergler argues, the creative writer who acknowledges his oral dependency will inevitably succumb to writer's block. Mann's late work reveals that his defense against the Gorgon is crumbling. In Doctor Faustus Mann portrays Adrian Leverkühn as, ultimately, the victim of oral regression; but the fact that Mann was able to compete the novel, despite severe physical illness and psychological distress, demonstrates that he himself was still holding writer's block at bay. In Confessions of Felix Krull: Confidence Man, a narrative that he had abandoned forty years before, Mann was finally forced to acknowledge that he was depleted of creative vitality, but not of his capacity for irony, brilliantly couching the victorious return of the repressed in ambiguity. This study will be of interest to general readers who enjoy Mann's narrative art, to students of Mann's work, especially its psychological and mythological aspects, and to students of the psychology of artistic creativity.

Climate Control
Author: Jim Zamber
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1452571163
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
Climate Control is about just how our inner status affects our outer experiences, and not only in our perceptions of them, but how they do in fact through the law of attraction and repelling bring experiences into, or not into manifestation. Also our inner climate impresses in, on, and at a collective level playing a part in geographic and worldly creation. Nine years ago I had a life changing experience that left me hopeless at the time in that I felt very insignificant, and exposed to the mercy of something much greater than myself. In that time of complete surrender to be whatever would be, I was inspired to go deeper into my own being and search for some deeper connection to it all. This inner journey revealed to me outwardly through many resources that we are not at the mercy of something greater, but in fact we are the mercy of something greater. Through the commitment to journal about this four years later my own personal endeavor serves as example that anyone can start right were there at, and use their life experiences up to that point to grow into, and experience life in a more desirable way.
