Book excerpt: Der 10-jährige Martin ist ein ganz normaler Schüler: neugierig, verspielt und intelligent. Ein glücklicher Junge, der sich auf das Gymnasium freut.Dort aber stellen sich erste Rückschläge ein: Martin wird auf eine besonders gute Schule geschickt, die nur von wenigen seiner ehemaligen Klassenkameraden besucht wird. Er muss sich in eine neue Gemeinschaft integrieren, was ihm sehr schwer fällt, und schon bald spürt er, dass bereits in der Schule die Leistungsgesellschaft voll zum Tragen kommt - und Leistung nicht immer gleich Leistung bedeutet.Weil sein Sozialverhalten deutlich schwächer ausgeprägt und trainiert ist als sein schulisches Wissen, wird Martin schon bald zum beliebten Angriffsziel seiner Mitschüler: Es beginnt mit vermeintlich harmlosen Hänseleien und Streichen aufgrund seines manchmal "komischen" Verhaltens sowie guter Noten und geht schnell in handgreifliche Auseinandersetzungen und gezieltes Mobbing über - bis Martin letzten Endes zurückschlägt.In 100 Tagebucheinträgen erzählt Martin über neun Jahre hinweg aus seinem Alltag auf dem Gymnasium - und wir begleiten ihn auf seinem schrecklichen Weg vom Musterschüler zum Amokläufer...

Download or read book An Education in Happiness written by Flavia Arzeni and published by Pushkin Press. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Happiness "is neither a privilege of the few, nor a fleeting state of mind: it is hidden behind a door that every person can open once they have found it, at the end of an arduous journey of self-discovery." The two Nobel Prize-winning writers Rabindranath Tagore and Hermann Hesse are arguably very different: one comes to us from the core of Indian culture, the other from the very heart of Old Europe; the former is an eternal wanderer, the latter a determined armchair traveller. Still, there are extraordinary affinities between their works, and they both understood that the path to happiness is paved with small acts and simple notions. Flavia Arzeni’s book offers us an oasis of stability and calm in which we can find the answers to our fundamental concerns about life and happiness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of German film is diverse and multi-faceted.

Disjuncture generates distinct points of separation, and yet also highlights continuities between the ruptures. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of German Cinema contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 200 cross-referenced entries on directors, actors, films, cinematographers, composers, producers, and major historical events that greatly affected the direction and development of German cinema.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German theologian and religious reformer, Martin Luther was the catalyst of the sixteenth century Protestant Reformation. Luther set on course a movement that reformulated the basic tenets of Christian belief, resulting in the division of Western Christendom between Roman Catholicism and the new Protestant traditions. One of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity, Luther produced a wide body of works, challenging the authority and office of the Pope by teaching that the Bible is the only source of divinely revealed knowledge. His landmark translation of the Bible into the German vernacular made religion more accessible to everyday people, having a tremendous impact on both the church and German culture. This comprehensive eBook presents Luther’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Download or read book Martin Heidegger s Changing Destinies written by Guillaume Payen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A portrait of Martin Heidegger as a man and a philosopher In this biography of Martin Heidegger (1889–1976), now available in English, historian Guillaume Payen synthesizes the connections between the German philosopher’s life and work. Critically, but without polemics, he creates a portrait of Heidegger in his time, using all available sources—lectures, letters, and the notorious “black notebooks.” Payen chronicles Heidegger’s “changing destinies”: after the First World War, an uncompromising Catholicism gave way to a vigorous striving for a philosophical revolution—fertile ground for National Socialism. The book reflects a life of light and shadow. Heidegger was a great philosopher and teacher who cultivated friendships and love affairs with Jews but also was an anti-Semitic nationalist who lamented the “Judaization of German intellectual life.&rdquo
Download or read book Martin Bucer Briefwechsel Correspondance Band VII Oktober 1531 M rz 1532 written by Berndt Hamm and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-10-31 with total page 695 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike most theologians of his age, Martin Bucer proved to be farsighted with respect to European affairs: In addition to his contacts within Alsace and Germany he established relations with almost every European country. It was his ecumenical attitude that always led him to mediate between the parties in the religious battles of his time. His deep commitment to the goal of reaching agreement can be traced in all his activities, works and letters. Since the first editor, Jean Rott (Strasbourg), died in 1998, Bucer's correspondence has been edited in Erlangen. This academic edition of source material provides future research with a broad basis for significant aspects of Reformation history about which very little is known. Volume VII covers the period from October 1531 to March 1532.

Download or read book Martin Salander written by Gottfried Keller and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on 1963-01-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 translation of Gottfried Keller's 1886 "Martin Salander", followed by an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of his life and works and an index of his works. "Martin Salander" is both the title of a family and historical novel by Gottfried Keller, published in 1886. This final work by the author is a candid critique of conditions in his own country and beyond. It follows Martin, a poor idealist, as he navigates life ethically, which is a reflection of Keller's hope for a compassionate family life as an image for a free Switzerland. The idealistic but credulous and naive protagonist returns to his Swiss homeland after a lengthy stay in Brazil, achieving prosperity as a merchant and engaging in political activities. However, he witnesses how the unchecked pursuit of social advancement leads many contemporaries into fraud and embezzlement, resulting in him and his family becoming victims of such schemes. His hope that people, endowed with political rights in their country, would interact more responsibly with each other is bitterly disappointed, leading him to hand over the management of his business to his pragmatic son by the novel's end. One can compare this novel to Dosteovsky's "The Idiot". In his later work, Gottfried Keller undertook an experiment on multiple fronts. He engaged with contemporary history more directly than in any of his previous works and ventured into new formal pathways by attempting to minimize the use of an authoritative narrator. Despite varying reception, the novel held norm-setting power for many subsequent Swiss writers.
Download or read book An Ocean of Literature John Henry Bohte and the Anglo German Book Trade in the Early Nineteenth Century written by Graham Jefcoate and published by Georg Olms Verlag. This book was released on 2020-01-13 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In den Jahren nach den Napoleonischen Kriegen gewann der in Bremen geborene John Henry Bohte (1784–1824) als Buchverkäufer und Verleger mit einem in London angesiedelten Import/Export-Geschäft und einer Präsenz in Leipzig schnell an Ansehen. Anfang 1813 eröffnete Bohte als noch Zwanzigjähriger seinen Laden in der York Street, Covent Garden. Er spezialisierte sich auf den Import deutscher Bücher und deutscher Ausgaben der griechischen und römischen Klassiker, vereinigte sein Einzelhandelsgeschäft aber schnell mit der „Deutschen Lesebibliothek“. Anfang 1820 wurde er als „Ausländischer Buchhändler seiner Majestät, dem König“ mit einem „Royal Warrant“, dem Hoflieferantenstatus, ausgezeichnet. Das Portfolio der Produkte und Dienstleistungen von Bohtes Geschäft umfasste nicht nur den Import deutscher Bücher, sondern auch ein ambitioniertes Verlagsprogramm für die Bereiche der deutschen und englischen Literatur, der klassischen Philologie und Naturgeschichte. Bohtes regelmäßige und lange Reisen nach Deutschland zur Leipziger Buchmesse reflektierten seine Ambition, zudem einer der Hauptexporteure englischer Bücher für den Kontinent zu werden. In den Worten eines anonymen Rezensenten wurde Bohte als „der temperamentvollste und nützlichste Buchverkäufer“ betrachtet. Trotz seines frühen Todes im Alter von 40 Jahren in London im Jahr 1824 hinterließ er wichtige Nachlässe sowohl in London als auch in Leipzig. In seiner Biografie von J. H. Bohte, "An Ocean of Literature", nutzt Graham Jefcoate eine umfangreiche Auswahl von Materialien aus Sammlungen in Großbritannien, Deutschland und weiteren Ländern, um die Rolle des Buchhandels im Laufe des deutsch-britischen Austauschs des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts zu veranschaulichen. ****** In the years following the Napoleonic Wars, the Bremen-born John Henry Bohte (1784-1824) quite rapidly acquired a reputation as a bookseller and publisher, with an import/export business based in London and also a presence in Leipzig. Bohte opened his shop in York Street, Covent Garden, in early 1813, while still in his twenties. He specialised in importing German books and German editions of the Greek and Roman classics, but soon combined his retail business with a German circulating library, the “Deutsche Lesebibliothek”. In early 1820, he was awarded a Royal Warrant as “Foreign Bookseller to His Majesty the King”. The portfolio of products and services offered by Bohte’s business included not just the importation of German books, but also an ambitious publishing programme in the fields of German and English literature, classical philology and natural history. Bohte’s regular and prolonged trips to Germany to attend the Leipzig Easter Book Fairs reflected his ambition to become a major exporter of English books to the continent too. In the words of one anonymous reviewer, Bohte was considered “a most spirited and most useful bookseller”. Although he died suddenly in London in 1824, aged only forty, he left an important legacy in both London and Leipzig. In his biography of J. H. Bohte, An Ocean of Literature, Graham Jefcoate has used a wide range of materials from collections in Britain, Germany and elsewhere to illuminate the role of the book trade in the process of Anglo-German exchange in the early nineteenth century.
