        Aus dem Berliner Journal

        by Max Frisch

        Es gilt als einer der großen Schätze in Max Frischs Nachlass, das legendäre Berliner Journal, das er begann, als er 1973 in West-Berlin in der Sarrazinstraße eine Wohnung bezog. Danach hat der Autor es selbst mit einer Sperrfrist von zwanzig Jahren nach seinem Tod versehen, der „privaten Sachen“ wegen, die er dort festhielt. 2014 ist das Journal, in Auszügen, erstmals erschienen, ein Fest für das Feuilleton, eine Fundgrube für die Leser. Jetzt erscheint es als Taschenbuch. „Ich konnte das Buch … nicht mehr weglegen.“ Tobias Rüther, Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung „Ich las diesen Max Frisch jetzt und war total beeindruckt. Nicht nur von dem psychologischen Reichtum, den Max Frisch zu entfalten vermag, sondern auch von der delikaten Stilartistik … das ist wirklich ein toller Autor.“ Ijoma Mangold „Hier ist der ganze Max Frisch in all seiner thematischen Vielfalt, in seinem psychologischen Scharfsinn und seiner gesellschaftlichen Neugier wiederzuentdecken.“ Jörg Magenau, Süddeutsche Zeitung „Wenige konnten die Träume unserer in sich selbst verliebten, vorwärtsdrängenden Epoche besser beschwören als Max Frisch.“ Iris Radisch, Die Zeit

        Romane, Erzählungen, Journale

        by Paul Nizon, Samuel Moser, Wend Kässens

        Paul Nizon war nie ein Vielschreiber, doch dafür haben sich die wenigen Bücher, die er seit seinem Debüt vor fünfzig Jahren veröffentlicht hat, als ungeheuer beständig und gegenwärtig erwiesen. Sie gehören zum schönsten, was in den letzten Jahrzehnten in deutscher Sprache erschienen ist. Am 19. Dezember 2009 feiert er seinen 80. Geburtstag. Die vorliegende Quarto-Ausgabe versammelt aus diesem Anlaß sein erzählerisches Gesamtwerk in einem Band: die Romane und die Erzählungen; ihnen ebenbürtig zur Seite stehen die Journale aus den Jahren 1961 bis 1999, dieser Fortsetzungsroman eines einzigartigen Künstlerlebens. Dieser Band bietet im Vergleich zu den Einzelbänden eine Preisersparnis von 82%.

        Die Zettel des Kuriers

        Journal 1990 - 1999

        by Paul Nizon, Wend Kässens

        "Da sitzt einer beim Schreiben vor seiner Maschine und beginnt zu spielen. Das ist die Ausgangslage, das ist der Beginn. Der Beginn ist ohne Plan und ohne bestimmtes Wissen und Vorhaben. Ein Mensch, der anfängt zu sprechen oder zu murmeln und der sich im Grunde bekennen, das heißt seiner Existenz und des Lebens vergewissern möchte. Er fängt irgendwo an und nimmt sich und den Leser auf die Reise mit. Die Reise führt durch die Gegenwart und Erinnerung und vielleicht auch ins Utopische, sie führt durch Unwetter und Ängste ebenso wie durch den Traum, sie staut sich an Reflexionen und ergießt sich in Emotionen, sie sucht nach dem Glück und durchquert die Einsamkeit etc., und dabei entsteht das Seismogramm einer heutigen Existenz und, wenn wir Glück haben, der Reichtum des Lebens, ja, und hoffentlich auch Schönheit und Glanz." "Für mich ist dies Journal die Anatomie einer seltenen Spezies Künstler und die Radiographie der dazugehörigen schöpferischen Prozesse. Dazu die fabelhafteste Unabhängigkeitserklärung und des weiteren ein seltenes, vielleicht exemplarisches Dokument. Basta."

        Das Drehbuch der Liebe

        Journal 1973–1979

        by Paul Nizon, Wend Kässens, Wend Kässens

        Ein Mann in der Mitte des Lebens, Schriftsteller. Auf einer Lesereise, unterwegs durch fremde Länder, zieht er sich in einer dramatischen, ebenso ausweglos wie aussichtslos scheinenden Begegnung mit einer jungen Frau das zu, was er später eine »Liebesvergiftung« nennen wird. Nach dieser Begegnung findet er sich nicht mehr zurecht, er verkommt. Auch das Verhältnis zu seiner jahrelangen Lebensgefährtin, die er erst kürzlich geheiratet hat, wird dadurch zerstört. Er übersiedelt, nein flieht von Zürich nach Paris, wo ihm eine verstorbene Tante eine winzige Wohnung hinterlassen hat. In dieser Zelle wartet er, wider alle Vernunft, daß die junge Geliebte sich für ihn entscheidet und daß das Schreiben wieder von ihm Besitz ergreift. Um die Wartezeit bis dahin zu überbrücken, klammert er sich an seine täglichen Notate, in denen er die Geschichte dieser verrückten Liebe, seine Geschichte bewahrt: Das Drehbuch der Liebe.Paul Nizon erzählt in seinem Journal – diesem Fortsetzungsroman eines einzigartigen Künstlerlebens – von der grausamen Verzauberung durch die Liebe, von den Exerzitien der Einsamkeit in Paris, seiner Sehnsucht nach Neugeburt durch die Zaubermacht der Metropole und nicht zuletzt von den Lektionen, die das Schreiben und die Frauen ihm erteilten.

        In the Shadow of War

        Diary notes from Ukraine

        by Christoph Brumme

        "What can you learn in war? Do you become numb, do you get used to it at some point? Does war make you "hard", uncaring, above pain? No. These are just clichés. Every day brings new horrors. At best, one learns for some time to suppress strong feelings, because to give in to them would weaken one's life instinct." In a very stirring and shocking, but sometimes humorous language, Christoph Brumme tells of the situation in Ukraine, the everyday life of his family and friends, of fears, longings and political assessments. The diary entries of the war and the resistance of the Ukrainians, starting from the first signs of the impending war in mid-January 2022 until the printing of this book, 1st May 2022, impressively bear witness to the brutality of these events.

        The life of mise-en-scène

        Visual style and British film criticism, 1946–78

        by John Gibbs

        The life of mise-en-scène offers a critical history of key debates about visual style in British film journals in the post-war period. It reclaims an often-ignored or misrepresented history, including: the concept of film poetry in the journal Sequence, changing attitudes in Sight and Sound during the 1950s, and the battle over the significance of film style which raged between a number of small journals and the national press in the early 1960s. It examines the British school, first associated with Movie in the 1960s, which, in Adrian Martin's words, is enjoying a 'widespread, international revival' - but also other critical movements, more hazily remembered. It explores the role of mise-en-scène in melodrama criticism, and considers what happened to detailed criticism as major theoretical movements emerged in the 1970s. In doing so, it provides a vital context for the contemporary practice of style-based criticism and challenges received notions of critical history, developing our understanding of a range of other key debates and concerns in the study of film. ;

        John James Audubon, Updated Edition

        by Patrice Sherman

        Artist, writer, naturalist, and frontiersman John James Audubon explored America's wilderness during the early 19th century, observing and recording the wonders he found there. From the Kentucky frontier to the Mississippi bayou to the icy coast of Labrador, he took his sketchbook and journal with him wherever he went. His collected paintings, Birds of America, became one of the nation's greatest works of art and natural history. His journals document an era when America's forests still teemed with ivory-billed woodpeckers, Carolina parrots, passenger pigeons, and other species now extinct. Audubon was the first to sound the alarm over the destruction of the wilderness. Today, the Audubon Society, founded in his name, serves as his legacy, educating people about the value of biological diversity throughout the world. Readers will explore the illustrated world of John James Audubon in this colorful eBook.

        Victorian women's magazines

        An anthology

        by Margaret Beetham, Kay Boardman

        This anthology makes available to students and general readers the rich variety of Victorian magazines for women. The extracts range from fashion magazines to feminist journals, from serious works for Christian mothers to tales of romance and passion for 'sweethearts'. Focusing on the historical development of the British women's magazine, this extensively illustrated work gives access to texts which few readers ever see. The first main section describes and illustrates eight kinds of magazine for women. Though they have common features, the differences between the drawing room journal of the 1830s and 1840s and the cheap domestic magazines of the 1890s are clearly demonstrated. The second section focuses on those elements which made up the magazine's typical mix of ingredients, including fiction, the fashion plate, poetry, political journalism, advice columns and reader's letters. The last section is the most comprehensive listing of British Victorian women's magazines which currently exists. This is a work of scholarship but one which will appeal to students of Cultural, Historical, Literary and Women's Studies, as well as to the general interested reader. Like the magazines it represents, it offers its readers both entertainment and instruction. ;
