Download or read book Sagitta's Books of the Nameless Love written by John Henry MacKay and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2005-07 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first complete translation of the volume of six “books” that John Henry Mackay published pseudonymously as Die Bücher der namenlosen Liebe von Sagitta in 1913. The project was begun in 1905 and soon had its own problems, as described by Mackay in his introduction, “The History of a Fight for the Nameless Love.” This—and the collection all together—is an important historical document of the beginning of the homosexual emancipation movement in Germany a century ago and of the role that boy-lovers played in it. At the same time it gives an insight into the heart and mind of an accomplished writer who knew personally the joys and pains of “the nameless love”—which Oscar Wilde called “the Love that dare not speak its name.”

Book excerpt: Aus dem Buch: "Wieder blieb der Wanderer stehen. So hell war die riesige Halle erleuchtet, daß er die Uhr an ihrem Ende deutlich erkennen konnte. Die Zeiger standen zwischen der siebenten und der achten Stunde. Das Leben auf dem Fußwege schien sich verstärkt zu haben, als ob eine Menschenwelle von diesseits nach jenseits hinüber gespült würde. Es war, als ob der Zögernde sich nicht losreißen könne." John Henry Mackay (1864-1933) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller.

Download or read book John Henry Mackay written by Hubert Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2000-05 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Henry Mackay (1864-1933) wrote in a variety of styles. This volume of his shorter fiction contains twenty-five stories, ranging in length from one page to the longer novella. In this range, it is essentially complete. The themes also vary considerably, for Mackay did not like to repeat himself. Nevertheless, as might be expected from the biographer of the egoist philosopher Max Stirner, they often illustrate strong individuals. Such are, for example, the protagonists of "The Sybarite" and "Herculean Triflings." Other stories probe the foibles of human nature; in this category are "Then He Suddenly Remembered" and "The Voice." A surprising number of stories detail the carrying out of criminal schemes surprising because Mackay was the most honest of individuals. This is seen in "The Stronger" and "The Great Coup." The longest of these stories, "The Innocent," begins with a murder that is later solved. But it is not a murder mystery; rather, it is "the story of a transformation" (the subtitle), the transformation of an extraordinary, if recognizable, personality into an even more extraordinary and unexpected personality. First published in 1931, the setting gives a fascinating picture of life in Berlin at that time. It is also pioneering in including homosexual characters, whose homosexuality does not form the "problem" of the story, but who are simply there as part of the plot. This would not become usual for several decades. But that is not the most memorable part of this unusual story, which is perhaps Mackay's delicious sarcasm in his portrait of the Great Poet of Germany. Though John Henry Mackay is best known as an anarchist propagandist, this volume is, all together, an excellent introduction to his work. Here, in miniature, are themes expressed at greater length in his novels and lyrically in his poetry. Critics often read his anarchist propaganda particularly the poems as literature and unjustly judged him by them. He saw the stories in this volume as a part of his literary legacy, on which he wanted to be judged. They appear here for the first time in English.

Download or read book John Henry Mackay written by John Henry Mackay and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-05-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly before his death in 1933, John Henry Mackay summed up his life and work in his final book, Summing Up—here in English for the first time with annotations by the translator, Hubert Kennedy. Mackay insisted that this book is not an autobiography or a memoirs—but it is the closest he came to either. In it he looks back on a long life of successes and—alas—mostly failures. But he has no regrets, for he remained true to himself and his early-gained vision of individualist anarchism. Although Mackay deliberately did not name persons here, many of those names and much other valuable information have been supplied by the editor, thus bringing us closer to the times recalled by the aging poet and propagandist. In a book written mostly in aphorisms, he sums up his life and work, his literary and political views, and—one year before the Nazi assumption of power in Germany—predicts the future influence of communism from the Soviet Union. This volume also includes Dear Tucker, Mackay’s letters to his American anarchist friend Benjamin R. Tucker, written in English since Tucker did not read German. Although one-sided—the letters from Tucker to Mackay were destroyed—the correspondence gives evidence of a life-long, warm friendship between the leading representatives of individualist anarchism in Germany and America respectively. The letters have been supplied with notes that identity the many persons mentioned in them, thus helping to place them historically. Of particular interest is the insight they give into Mackay’s literary struggle, under the pseudonym Sagitta, to promote the cause of love between men and boys. The letters reveal the ruthless opposition of the state in a classic example of the use of raw power to crush individual liberty. Together, Summing Up and Dear Tucker give us unexpected insights into the life and writings of John Henry Mackay. They help us better appreciate this Scotch-German lyricist, novelist, biographer, and anarchist propagandist whose writings are indeed so various that they escape classification.

Download or read book Reconsidering the Emergence of the Gay Novel in English and German written by James P. Wilper and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Reconsidering the Emergence of the Gay Novel in English and German, James P. Wilper examines a key moment in the development of the modern gay novel by analyzing four novels by German, British, and American writers. Wilper studies how the texts are influenced by and respond and react to four schools of thought regarding male homosexuality in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The first is legal codes criminalizing sex acts between men and the religious doctrine that informs them. The second is the ancient Greek erotic philosophy, in which a revival of interest took place in the late nineteenth century. The third is sexual science (or "sexology"), which offered various medical and psychological explanations for same-sex desire and was employed variously to defend, as well as to attempt to cure, this "perversion." And fourth, in the wake of the scandal caused by his trials and conviction for "gross indecency," Oscar Wilde became associated with a homosexual stereotype based on "unmanly" behavior. Wilper analyzes the four novels—Thomas Mann's Death in Venice, E. M. Forster's Maurice, Edward Prime-Stevenson's Imre: A Memorandum, and John Henry Mackay's The Hustler—in relation to these schools of thought, and focuses on the exchange and cross-cultural influence between linguistic and cultural contexts on the subject of love and desire between men.

Book excerpt: In her pioneering work, The Debates of Liberty, Wendy McElroy provides a comprehensive examination of one of the most remarkable and influential political phenomena in America: the anarchist periodical Liberty and the circle of radicals who surrounded it. Liberty, which is widely considered to be the premier individualist-anarchist periodical ever issued in the English language, published such items as George Bernard Shaw's first original article to appear in the United States and the first American translated excerpts of Friedrich Nietzsche. Arguably the world's foremost expert on Liberty, Dr. McElroy exposes the reader to the controversy etched in each debate, ranging from radical civil liberties to economic theory, and from children's rights to the basis of rent and interest. While addressing the facts, Dr. McElroy also conveys and captures the individualistic personalities that emerged: Lysander Spooner, Auberon Herbert, Joshua K. Ingalls, John Henry Mackay, Victor Yarros, and Wordsworth Donisthorpe are only a partial listing.

Book excerpt: In February 1534, a radical group of Anabaptists, gripped with apocalyptic fervor, seized the city of Münster and established an idealistic communal government that quickly deteriorated into extreme inequality and theocratic totalitarianism. In response, troops hired by the city's prince-bishop laid siege to the city. Fifteen months later the besieged inhabitants were starving, and, in the dead of the night, five men slipped out. Separated from his fellow escapees, Henry Gresbeck gambled with his life by approaching enemy troops. Taken prisoner, he collaborated with the enemy to devise a plan to recapture Münster, and later recorded the only eyewitness account of the Anabaptist kingdom of Münster. Gresbeck's account, which attempts to explain his role in the bizarre events, disappeared into the archives and was largely ignored for centuries. Before now, Gresbeck's account was only available in a heavily edited German copy adapted from inferior manuscripts. Christopher S. Mackay, who previously produced the only modern translation of the main Latin account of these events, has adhered closely to Gresbeck’s own words to produce the first complete and accurate English translation of this important primary source.

Book excerpt: Glamorous heiress Elsie Mackay could have lived her life in the social whirl of high society, partying with princes and dancing with dukes. Instead this wilful young woman was determined to pursue her dreams - eloping with a dashing soldier, starring on the silver screen, and designing the luxurious interiors of ocean liners. But her greatest passion was for aviation, still in its infancy in the 1920s, and her burning ambition was to become the first woman to not only fly the Atlantic but to cross those unforgiving waves by the most challenging route - east to west - against the prevailing winds. Not only were the odds stacked against her but she knew her father, the shipping tycoon Lord Inchcape, would do everything in his considerable power to stop her.Journalist Jayne Baldwin uncovers the forgotten story of the bold and beautiful woman who blazed a trail across newspaper headlines, high society and who loved the heady mix of speed and danger that marked the early days of aviation.
