Book Synopsis All Quiet on the Western Front by : Erich Maria Remarque
Download or read book All Quiet on the Western Front written by Erich Maria Remarque and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Written during the last years of the Weimar Republic, the two novels collected here address the urgent problems of that age. Both Erich Maria Remarque (1898-1970) and Joseph Roth (1894-1939) served in World War I, Remarque with the German army and Roth with the Austrian. Their experiences would help define what Gertrude Stein referred to as the "Lost Generation." All Quiet on the Western Front is the testimony of a soldier who had become aware of how much he, and those of his generation who had survived, had been affected by the trauma of the Great War. For Joseph Roth, World War I had cost him his homeland and turned him into a nomad. Job, in abridged form for The German Library, addresses the theme of Jewish identity in a newly mobilized society."--Jacket.

Book Synopsis The Emergence of Neuroscience and the German Novel by : Sonja Boos
Download or read book The Emergence of Neuroscience and the German Novel written by Sonja Boos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-29 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Emergence of Neuroscience and the German Novel: Poetics of the Brain revises the dominant narrative about the distinctive psychological inwardness and introspective depth of the German novel by reinterpreting the novel’s development from the perspective of the nascent discipline of neuroscience, the emergence of which is coterminous with the rise of the novel form. In particular, it asks how the novel’s formal properties—stylistic, narrative, rhetorical, and figurative—correlate with the formation of a neuroscientific discourse, and how the former may have assisted, disrupted, and/or intensified the medical articulation of neurological concepts. This study poses the question: how does this rapidly evolving field emerge in the context of nineteenth century cultural practices and what were the conditions for its emergence in the German-speaking world specifically? Where did neuroscience begin and how did it broaden in scope? And most crucially, to what degree does it owe its existence to literature?

Book Synopsis The Devil's General and Germany: Jekyll and Hyde by : Carl Zuckmayer
Download or read book The Devil's General and Germany: Jekyll and Hyde written by Carl Zuckmayer and published by Continuum. This book was released on 2005-06-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both works in this volume - a play by Carl Zuckmayer (1896-1977) and an unusual contemporary study of Nazi Germany by Sebastian Haffner (1907-99) - bear testimony to the disturbing events that were to change German history in the aftermath of World War I. The abridged translation of The Devil's General, which was approved by Zuckmayer himself, is about a World War I flier who commits suicide as he comes to realize the unintended havoc he has wrought in his obsession to fly. Sebastian Haffner, whose real name was Raimund Pretzel (which was changed with the publication of Germany: Jekyll and Hyde), remained a controversial journalist all his life, working for both left-wing and right-wing journals. The work excerpted here was written in 1940 when Haffner, reared in a liberal tradition, was in a British detention camp as an enemy alien.

Book Synopsis Three Contemporary German Novellas: Friedrich Christian Delius, Peter Schneider and Martin Walser by : A. Leslie Willson

This book was released on 2001 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Runaway Horse by Martin Walser revolves around two friends, long separated, who meet on vacation. One is an idle teacher; the other an optimistic go-getter. The teacher discovers that one cannot avoid dealing head-on with life any better than one can reason with a runaway horse. Peter Schneider's Lenz, which takes its title from the melancholy novella by Georg Bnchner, is about the life of a young intellectual in 1960s East Germany. This is its first publication in English. The Sunday I Became World Champion, by F. C. Delius, portrays a postwar German village through the eyes of a preacher's son--a boy whose stutter is helped by the success of the national soccer team.

Book Synopsis German Women's Writing of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries by : Helen Fronius
Download or read book German Women's Writing of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries written by Helen Fronius and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German women writers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries have been the subject of feminist literary critical and historical studies for around thirty years. This volume, with contributions from an international group of scholars, takes stock of what feminist literary criticism has achieved in that time and reflects on future trends in the field. Offering both theoretical perspectives and individual case studies, the contributors grapple with the difficulties of appraising 'non-feminist' women writers and genres from a feminist perspective and present innovative approaches to research in early women's writing. This inclusive and cross- disciplinary collection of essays will enrich the study of German women's writing of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and contribute to contemporary debates in feminist literary criticism. Anna Richards is Lecturer in German at Birkbeck College, University of London. Helen Fronius is College Lecturer in German at Keble College, University of Oxford.
