Review Kritisches Erbe. Dokumente zur Rezeption von James Joyce im deutschen Sprachbereich zu Lebzeiten des Autors. Ein Lesebuch. (Internationale Forschungen ... und vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft) / Rodopi Bv Editions:The vast body of material documenting the strong and controversial echo that James Joyce's oeuvre found in the German-speaking countries already in the author's life-time has so far never been fully registered, let alone collected and made easily accessible to a wider public. This deplorable gap of information is filled by the present volume, which reprints - from their original sources and in most cases for the first time - more than 250 texts of various kinds and provenience (reviews, articles, and essays from a wide spectrum of newspapers, periodicals, contemporary studies), thus providing an indispensable complement to a standard source-book of Joyce studies, namely Robert Deming's pertinent anthology in the Critical Heritage Series. Since, in addition to illustrating a considerable part of the early stages of reception that the works of one of the most important and influential author of our century met with outside the English-speaking world, the documents assembled here clearly mirror the immediate reactions of Joyce's contemporaries to the challenge inherent in his new mode of viewing reality and thereby the major shifts in the changing spirit of the period, they are of interest not only to Joyceans, students of English, German, and comparative literature, but also to historians and cultural critics in general. Das ungewÖhnlich breite und kontroverse Echo, das James Joyces Oeuvre bereits zu Lebzeiten des Autors im deutschen Sprachbereich gefunden hat, ist bislang nirgends bibliographisch vollstÄndig erfasst, geschweige denn editorisch erschlossen und in Anthologieform bequem zugÄnglich gemacht worden. Diese flagrante InformationslÜcke schließt der vorliegende Band, indem er erstmals alle markanten einschlÄgigen Dokumente versammelt und damit allen Literaturinteressierten die MÖglichkeit bietet, sich auf der Grundlage einer umfassenden LektÜre der Originaltexte ein fundiertes eigenes Urteil Über Art und GrÜnde des wechselvollen Verlaufs dieses Rezeptionsprozesses zu bilden. Konkret nachvollziehbar wird so, wie sich im Wettstreit konkurrierender und weithin interdependenter Diskurse ein ebenso facetten- wie variantenreiches Joyce-Bild herauskristallisiert, das zudem nicht selten mehr vom Geist seiner Konstrukteure und ihrer Zeit zeugt als von den spezifischen Charakteristika der Joyceschen Werke. Deshalb sind die hier versammelten Materialien nicht nur fÜr Anglisten, Germanisten und Komparatisten, sondern darÜber hinaus auch fÜr Kultur- und Zeithistoriker von generellem Interesse. Eingeleitet wird der Band durch einen konzisen Überblick Über den Verlauf und die Ergebnisse dieses Meinungsbildungsprozesses sowie des maßgeblichen Forschungsstandes dazu. Diverse Appendices sowie ein ausfÜhrliches Personen-, Werk- und Sachregister bieten ergÄnzende Detailinformationen zu ausgewÄhlten Sonderaspekten.

Review Mornings on Horseback, The Story of an Extraordinary Family, and the Unique Child Who Became Theodore Roosevelt [UNABRIDGED] (Audiobook):From the best-selling author of Truman comes the story of a remarkable little boy, seriously handicapped by recurrent and almost fatal asthma attacks, and his struggle to manhood. A book that is at once an enthralling story that does away with several old myths and breaks entirely new ground. It is a book about life intensely lived, about family love and loyalty, about grief and courage, about blessed mornings on horseback beneath the wide blue skies of the Badlands.

Review Alexander the Great: A Reader / Routledge:With his unprecedented conquests from Greece in the west to India in the East, Alexander the Great was the type of man that legends are made of; therein lies the problem for those studying him. Ought we to accept the image of a dashing king enjoying a string of spectacular successes, or adopt a more cynical evaluation, taking note of all the negative aspects of his reign? In the light of the evidence at our disposal, does he even deserve to be called "Great"? This exciting new volume is an indispensable guide for undergraduates to the study of Alexander the Great, showing the problems of the ancient source material, and making it clear that there is no single approach to be taken. The eleven thematic chapters contain a broad selection of the most significant published articles about Alexander, examining the main areas of debate and discussion:the sources; Alexander's background; Alexander's aims; Alexander and the Greeks; Alexander and Asia; Alexander, India and the Final Years; Alexander as General; Alexander and "The unity of Mankind"; Alexander and Deification; Alexander and Conspiracies; Alexander: The 'Great'? The Reader has the distinctive feature of translating a substantial number of the more inaccessible primary sources; each chapter is also prefaced with a succinct introduction to the topic under consideration.
