Book excerpt: When a mysterious dossier of letters and photographs was discovered at an abandoned Spanish villa, the author embarked upon a passionate journey to resurrect its owner in this first comprehensive biography. Lauded by luminaries of his epoch, Baron Rudolph von Ripper (1905-60) was an Austrian aristocrat and international wanderer with the temerity to resist the tyrannical Third Reich - both as a soldier and an artist - whilst the world was apparently coming to an end. Ripper's remarkable depictions of human beings under duress reveal an artistic talent that stands comparison with his contemporaries George Grosz, Otto Dix, and KAthe Kollwitz. During the Cold War Ripper acted as a CIA agent and settled in Mallorca, his 'haven of peace and beauty', closely pursued by his wartime enemies. Sian Mackay lived in Egypt and the USA before returning to her native Scotland as a freelance journalist with the Glasgow Herald and Times Educational Supplement. Later she divided her time between Scotland and Spain and wrote several highly praised books

Download or read book Uneasy Dreams written by Gary A. Smith and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a tremendous amount of renewed interest in the output of Britain's Hammer Films. But there remain a great number of worthwhile British horror films, made at the same time by other companies, that have received little attention. The author provides a comprehensive listing of British horror films--including science fiction, fantasy, and suspense films containing horror-genre elements--that were released between 1956 and 1976, the "Golden Age" of British horror. Entries are listed alphabetically by original British title, from Vincent Price in The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) to Zeta One (1969). Entries also include American title, release information, a critique of the film, and the film's video availability. The book is filled with photographs and contains interviews with four key figures: Max J. Rosenberg, cofounder of Amicus Productions, one of the period's major studios; Louis M. Heyward, former writer, film executive and producer; Aida Young, film and television producer; and Gordon Hessler, director of such films as The Oblong Box and Murders in the Rue Morgue.

Download or read book Die Lehre von der musikalischen Auff hrung in der Wiener Schule written by Markus Grassl and published by Böhlau Verlag Wien. This book was released on 2002 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die von Arnold Schonberg ausgebildete, von seinen Schulern weiterentwickelte und seit den 30er Jahren weit uber den deutschen Sprachraum hinaus wirkende Auffuhrungslehre ist die vermutlich einflussreichste Konzeption des 20. Jahrhunderts zur musikalischen Interpretation. Das von der Lehrkanzel fur Musikgeschichte an der Wiener Musikuniversitat 1995 veranstaltete internationale Colloquium hatte eine moglichst breite Auseinandersetzung mit diesem bislang nur punktuell aufgearbeiteten Thema zum Ziel. Die Beitrage befassen sich mit den theoretischen und praktischen Vorstellungen Schonbergs, deren musik- und kulturhistorischen Voraussetzungen, den Modifikationen im engeren und weiteren Schulerkreis, den Wirkungen im Zuge der weltweiten Verbreitung sowie dem Verhaltnis zu anderen Konzepten. Die wissenschaftlichen Referate, die direkten und indirekten Berichte aus der Schule selbst und die Diskussionen der Tagung werden durch umfangreiche Materialzusammenstellungen erganzt.

Download or read book Mavericks of War written by Jason S Ridler and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War I, Oxford-trained archeologist Lawrence of Arabia used his knowledge of the Middle East to help organize the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire. In this entertaining and insightful book, Jason Ridler profiles the intellectuals, outsiders, and eccentrics who followed in Lawrence’s footsteps across the next hundred years of warfare and who relied on creativity, curiosity, and outside-the-box thinking to shape battlefields from World War II and Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. They were Ivy Leaguers and Oxford scholars, anthropologists and archeologists, an ad executive, an international activist, a Peace Corps veteran, an émigré journalist (and former teenage member of the French Resistance), a diplomat—mavericks and oddballs, men and women—who, not always heralded or heeded and sometimes hated, challenged traditional military thought and helped win wars, secure peace, and change the face of modern war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Craig Walker devotes the main body of his work to critical readings of James Reaney, Michael Cook, Sharon Pollock, Michel Tremblay, George F. Walker, and Judith Thompson, respecting the distinctive elements of the writer's voice while helping the reader appreciate the cultural context that informs each play.

Download or read book Art Culture and Media Under the Third Reich written by Richard A. Etlin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2002-10-15 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art, Culture, and Media Under the Third Reich explores the ways in which the Nazis used art and media to portray their country as the champion of Kultur and civilization. Rather than focusing strictly on the role of the arts in state-supported propaganda, this volume contributes to Holocaust studies by revealing how multiple domains of cultural activity served to conceptually dehumanize Jews and other groups. Contributors address nearly every facet of the arts and mass media under the Third Reich—efforts to define degenerate music and art; the promotion of race hatred through film and public assemblies; views of the racially ideal garden and landscape; race as portrayed in popular literature; the reception of art and culture abroad; the treatment of exiled artists; and issues of territory, conquest, and appeasement. Familiar subjects such as the Munich Accord, Nuremberg Party Rally Grounds, and Lebensraum (Living Space) are considered from a new perspective. Anyone studying the history of Nazi Germany or the role of the arts in nationalist projects will benefit from this book. Contributors: Ruth Ben-Ghiat David Culbert Albrecht Dümling Richard A. Etlin Karen A. Fiss Keith Holz Kathleen James-Chakraborty Paul B. Jaskot Karen Koehler Mary-Elizabeth O'Brien Jonathan Petropoulos Robert Jan van Pelt Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn and Gert Gröning
