Nineteenth-Century Writings on Homosexuality includes writing on: * trials and scandals * censorship and homophobia * cultural and personal history * love and friendship * lesbianism * aestheticism and decadence * sexual tourism and colonialism * cross-class desire * sodomy and sadomasochism. Containing a general introduction, section headnotes, a bibliography of primary and secondary source material, this book is extraordinarily well researched.

Brand new! Never been read or used before. Small blemish in back cover and stickiness on the back of the book from the store sticker. One book still... has the original insert from the publishers with prices listed in deutsche mark instead of euro!!

À deux époques différentes, deux bus font route vers le même lieu, le domaine de Bellewaerde. En 1915, des soldats partaient au front, c’est... aujourd’hui un parc d’attractions.À Bellewaerde ( Belgique), en 1915 et de nos jours.Dans la campagne yproise, en une belle journée d’été, deux bus roulent vers le domaine de Bellewaerde.L'un vient de Poperinge et achemine vers le front ? nous sommes en 1915 ? un contingent de soldats canadiens. Parmi eux, il y a Pierre, un jeune architecte qui avait émigré au Canada pour tenter d’oublier la trahison de la femme qu’il aimait, et qui rentre au pays après une très longue absence. À Bellewaerde, avant poste des lignes de tir, faute de renforts, le front n’est guère plus qu’une ligne fantôme où des alliés en rang clairsemé tentent de riposter tant bien que mal aux assauts de l’artillerie allemande. Pourquoi Pierre, que rien n’obligeait à cet engagement volontaire, est-il revenu ? Pour exorciser le souvenir de Berthe qui n’en finit pas de le hanter ? Autour de lui, les camarades tombent, et pour lui, l’issue de ce combat ne fait guère de doutes… Mais qui sait ?L'autre bus arrive de Bruxelles et transporte une joyeuse cargaison d'employés en goguette et leurs familles. Destination : le domaine de Bellewaerde, aujourd’hui reconverti en un parc d’attractions. Participent à l’excursion Serge, un petit garçon sensible et observateur, et sa pétulante Tante Bérénice. Elle est un peu bizarre, ces derniers temps, la tante Béré… Pourquoi Pierre, son fiancé et collègue, n’est-il pas de la partie ? Qui est ce mystérieux correspondant auquel elle va téléphoner en cachette ? Mais tante Béré n’est pas la seule dont le comportement intrigue Serge : qui est cet étrange inconnu armé d’une pelle, qu’il ne cesse de croiser au cours de cette journée ? Pourquoi, s’il n’est pas un jardinier, s’obstine-t-il à retourner la terre ?Tel un défi au temps, à travers les regards croisés de l'homme blessé et livré à l’horreur de la guerre et de l'enfant curieux, va se tisser un fin réseau de correspondances et d'interrogations. Qui est l'homme à la pelle ? Et que cherche-t-il ? Que cache donc TanteBéré ? Au mépris des années enfuies, n'assisterait-on pas à quelque éternel retour ? celui de l'oubli et du désamour ?

Based on John Gay's eighteenth century Beggar's Opera, The Threepenny Opera, first staged in 1928 at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm in Berlin, is a... vicious satire on the bourgeois capitalist society of the Weimar Republic, but set in a mock-Victorian Soho. With Kurt Weill's unforgettable music - one of the earliest and most successful attempts to introduce jazz to the theatre - it became a popular hit throughout the western world. Published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, this edition features extensive notes and commentary including an introduction to the play, Brecht's own notes on the play, a full appendix of textual variants, a note by composer Kurt Weill, a transcript of a discussion about the play between Brecht and a theatre director, plus editorial notes on the genesis of the play.

« Condamné à mort ! dit la foule ; et tandis qu'on m'emmenait, tout ce peuple se rua sur mes pas avec le fracas d'un édifice qui se démolit. Une... révolution venait de se faire en moi. Jusqu'à l'arrêt de mort, je m'étais senti respirer, palpiter, vivre dans le même milieu que les autres hommes ; maintenant je distinguais clairement comme une clôture entre le monde et moi. »

This representative collection, the first of its kind, presents the majority of Derozio's poems with notes, and all available correspondence and... journalism along with a detailed Introduction and critical comments. Apart from the two volumes of poetry that Derozio published in his lifetime, which have never been widely disseminated in their entirety, this edition brings together a number of new poems, essays, thoughts, and letters written to newspapers published both in his lifetime and posthumously. As a result, a fresh new picture emerges of a young man, energetic and inspired, who not only propelled a section of the Bengali elite into revolutionary reformism through his teaching, as is well known, but who also embodied, in his writing and philosophy, the birth of the modern. This book attempts to present a man and his moment in an entirely new and significant reading that places Derozio at the conceptual beginnings of an imagined nation that had begun to be conjured into existence through metaphor and image, rhetoric and philosophy, poetic practice, and political activism.

"Jemand mußte Josef K. verleumdet haben, denn ohne daß er etwas Böses getan hätte, wurde er eines Morgens verhaftet." So beginnt der unvollendete,... postum veröffentlichte Roman von Franz Kafka. Erzählt wird die Geschichte des Bankprokuristen Josef K., dem an seinem 30. Geburtstag von einer mysteriösen Behörde der Prozess gemacht werden soll. Vergeblich versucht er in der Folge herauszufinden, weshalb er angeklagt wurde und wie er sich rechtfertigen könnte. Doch je mehr er seine Unschuld verteidigen will, desto tiefer gerät er in das grauenhafte Labyrinth einer surrealen Bürokratie mit undurchschaubaren Gesetzen, deren Sinn die „Sinnlosigkeit“ ist. Von einer anonymen, für ihn unerreichbaren Gerichtsinstanz wird er schließlich in einem Prozess, von dem nicht nur die Öffentlichkeit, sondern auch er selbst ausgeschlossen bleibt, zum Tod verurteilt.Nie erfährt er, worin seine „Schuld“ besteht. Dennoch fügt er sich diesem Urteil. An seinem 31. Geburtstag wird er von zwei höflichen Schergen abgeholt, die ihn "wie ein(en) Hund" in einem Steinbruch erstechen. Ergänzt wird der Originaltext mit Worterklärungen und biografischen Notizen über den Autor.Die Print ISBN bezieht sich auf unser Hörbuch.
