Book Description
Helga, Egon, Paul und Max haben eines gemeinsam: Sie sind zwangseingewiesene Patienten einer geschlossenen psychiatrischen Klinik und des Lebens überdrüssig. Doch die Vier haben ein großes Ziel für den Silvesterabend festgelegt: Noch vor dem Neujahrsbeginn möchten sie alle sterben. Ein Ausbruchsplan und eine Idee zum gemeinsamen Selbstmord sind geschmiedet. Doch so sehr sie sich auch bemühen - das Leben scheint ihre Pläne immer wieder zu durchkreuzen. Nichtsahnend stolpern die vom Leben gezeichneten Antihelden in allerlei absurde Situationen und müssen erkennen, dass selbst das Sterben nicht so leicht ist wie gedacht.
Als wir liegen lernten. Life is a Story - story.one

Childhood and Children's Books in Early Modern Europe, 1550-1800
Author: Andrea Immel
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135473323
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
This volume of 14 original essays by historians and literary scholars explores childhood and children's books in Early Modern Europe, 1550-1800. The collection aims to reposition childhood as a compelling presence in early modern imagination--a ready emblem of innocence, mischief, and playfulness. The essays offer a wide-ranging basis for reconceptualizing the development of a separate literature for children as central to evolving early modern concepts of human development and socialization. Among the topics covered are constructs of literacy as revealed by the figure of Goody Two Shoes, notions of pedagogy and academic standards, a reception study of children's reading based on book purchases made by Rugby school boys in the late eighteenth-century, an analysis of the first international best-seller for children, the abbe Pluche's Spectacle de la nature, and the commodification of child performers in Jacobean comedies.

Kindergartens and Cultures
Author: Roberta Wollons
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300077882
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
At the turn of the nineteenth century, the German kindergarten - banned by the Prussian government as revolutionary - spread rapidly to nations around the globe, becoming at once a local and modernising institution. This book is a collection of case studies that describe the remarkable diffusion, adoption, and transformation of the kindergarten in eleven modern and developing nations. The contributors to the volume examine the process by which the idea of the kindergarten arrived and was adopted in these countries - a process that invariably demonstrated the immense power of local cultures, whether Christian, Buddhist, or Islamic, to respond to and reformulate borrowed ideas. Borrowing cultures do not engage in passive mimicry, the studies show, but recast ideas for their own purposes. Beginning with Germany, the chapters of this book follow the kindergarten idea as it passed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to the United States, then England, Australia, Japan, China, Poland, Russia, Vietnam, Turkey, and Israel. The contributors examine such complex political, social, and cultural issues as the relationship of gender to national educational policies, the impact of mi

The Cambridge History of German Literature
Author: Helen Watanabe-O'Kelly
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521785730
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 632
Book Description
This is the first book to describe German literary history up to the unification of Germany in 1990. It takes a fresh look at the main authors and movements, and also asks what Germans in a given period were actually reading and writing, what they would have seen at the local theatre or found in the local lending library; it includes, for example, discussions of literature in Latin as well as in German, eighteenth-century letters and popular novels, Nazi literature and radio plays, and modern Swiss and Austrian literature. A new prominence is given to writing by women. Contributors, all leading scholars in their field, have re-examined standard judgements in writing a history for our own times. The book is designed for the general reader as well as the advanced student: titles and quotations are translated, and there is a comprehensive bibliography.

Controlling Time and Shaping the Self
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004207589
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 559
Book Description
This book explores new questions and approaches to the rise of autobiographical writing since the early modern period. What motivated more and more men and women to write records of their private life? How could private writing grow into a bestselling genre? How was this rapidly expanding genre influenced by new ideas about history that emerged around 1800? How do we explain the paradox of the apparent privacy of publicity in many autobiographies? Such questions are addressed with reference to well-known autobiographies and an abundance of newfound works by persons hitherto unknown, not only from Europe, but also the Near East, and Japan. This volume features new views of the complex field of historical autobiography studies, and is the first to put the genre in a global perspective.
