        The world of El Cid

        Chronicles of the Spanish Reconquest

        by Simon Barton, Richard Fletcher

        Makes available, for the first time in English translation, four of the principal narrative sources for the history of the Spanish kingdom of León-Castile during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Three chronicles focus primarily upon the activities of the kings of León-Castile as leaders of the Reconquest of Spain from the forces of Islam, and especially upon Fernando I (1037-65), his son Alfonso VI (1065-1109) and the latter's grandson Alfonso VII (1126-57). The fourth chronicle is a biography of the hero Rodrigo Díaz, better remembered as El Cid, and is the main source of information about his extraordinary career as a mercenary soldier who fought for Christian and Muslim alike. Covers the fascinating interaction of the Muslim and Christian worlds, each at the height of their power. Each text is prefaced by its own introduction and accompanied by explanatory notes.

        Eine Debatte

        by Alain Badiou, Daniel Bensaïd, Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Rancière, Jean-Luc Nancy, Kristin Ross, Slavoj Zizek, Wendy Brown

        Zu Beginn des dritten Jahrtausends ist die Situation der Demokratie paradox: Einerseits sind mehr Staaten denn jemals zuvor demokratisch verfaßt, andererseits nehmen die Krisensymptome in den Staaten, die einstmals so etwas wie eine demokratische Avantgarde bildeten, zu: Die Wahlbeteiligung sinkt, schillernde Persönlichkeiten wie Silvio Berlusconi oder Nicolas Sarkozy gewinnen an Bedeutung, Wahlkämpfe geraten zu schalen Marketingkampagnen. Colin Crouch hat all diese Trends in dem Band "Postdemokratie" präzise auf den Punkt gebracht. In diesem Band setzen sich nun acht herausragende politische Denkerinnen und Denker mit dem Zustand und den Perspektiven der am wenigsten schlechten aller Regierungsformen (Winston Churchill) auseinander, die tageszeitung sprach von einem 'Who's who der internationalen linken Theorie'. Der Diskussionsband enthält Beiträge von Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou, Daniel Bensaïd, Wendy Brown, Jean-Luc Nancy, Jacques Rancière, Kristin Ross und Slavoj iek.

        Doble vida (Double life)

        by Ariel Magnus

        Can someone deceive their beloved in order to protect them from the cruel truth of love? Like decomposed magnets that first repel and then attract, the characters in this comedic tragedy of entanglements oscillate between love and disillusionment, between fantasy and reality, between dream and wakefulness. In the confusion of these parallel lives, they lose themselves in a hazy reality that becomes clear when everyone accepts that they have deceived and been deceived.

        La ruta de la rata (The rat route)

        by Jean-Claude Bauer, Frédéric Brremaud

        The result of the combined work of Frédéric BRÉMAUD and Jean-Claude BAUER – the latter having covered the 1987 trial for Antenne 2 – KLAUS BARBIE, THE RAT'S ROUTE retraces the life of one of the greatest war criminals of the 20th century. Drawing on historical sources and the participation of Jean-Olivier VIOUT, the Deputy General Prosecutor during this historic trial, as well as Serge KLARSFELD, a staunch advocate for the cause of Jewish deportees – who pens the foreword to this work – they deliver a necessary narrative, bearing witness to one of the most resonant trials in history.

        The Legacy of John Polidori

        The Romantic Vampire and its Progeny

        by Sam George, Bill Hughes

        John Polidori's novella The Vampyre (1819) is perhaps 'the most influential horror story of all time' (Frayling). Polidori's story transformed the shambling, mindless monster of folklore into a sophisticated, seductive aristocrat that stalked London society rather than being confined to the hinterlands of Eastern Europe. Polidori's Lord Ruthven was thus the ancestor of the vampire as we know it. This collection explores the genesis of Polidori's vampire. It then tracks his bloodsucking progeny across the centuries and maps his disquieting legacy. Texts discussed range from the Romantic period, including the fascinating and little-known The Black Vampyre (1819), through the melodramatic vampire theatricals in the 1820s, to contemporary vampire film, paranormal romance, and science fiction. They emphasise the background of colonial revolution and racial oppression in the early nineteenth century and the cultural shifts of postmodernity.

        Secret Records of Huanggang County

        Secret Records of Huanggang County

        by He Dun

        The novel has portrayed the images of Liu Shengzhi, a grass-roots cadre of Chinese Communist Party with strong faith, and many other people via the fate of the Lius in Huanggang County of Hubei Province over the century since the Republican period. Through the description of these characters and the development of the plot, the novel has dug deep into the cultural customs and historical profundity of Huanggang County, and interpreted the patriotic and cultural reasons for Huanggang County being the hometown of many generals and top scorers of college entrance examination. Liu Shengzhi, Brother Shi, is stubborn and unwavering. He has hardly contacted with Brother Shiyi, the best friend in his teenage days, just because he believes that Shiyi has betrayed him. He regularlyremits money to his wife who is retired and gets no more salaries, but tells nothing to her, so as to keep his faith. In face of the storm, he risks his life to dive into water and open the valve of the reservoir. He is also the first to move without any conditions to make room for the construction of Nanmen Bridge. Besides, the novel has also attentively described many other characters such as Uncle Wang Lang. As a brave soldier who had once carried the explosive package to blow up the city gate, Uncle Wang indignantly blocks the car of some greedy official at the street corner of the cross street during the Spring Festival. All these vividly-depicted characters have fully demonstrated the firm faith and integrity of the revolutionists of the older generation.

        Carol Reed

        by Peter William Evans

        Carol Reed is one of the truly outstanding directors of British cinema, and one whose work is long overdue for reconsideration. This major study ranges over Reed's entire career, combining observation of general trends and patterns with detailed analysis of twenty films, both acknowledged masterpieces and lesser-known works. Evans avoids a simplistic auteurist approach, placing the films in their autobiographical, socio-political and cultural contexts and relating these to the analysis of Reed's art. The critical approach combines psychoanalysis, gender theory, and the analysis of form. Archival research is also relied on to clarify Reed's relations with his creative team, financial backers and others. Films examined include Bank Holiday, A Girl Must Live, Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, The Third Man, Night Train to Munich, The Way Ahead, Outcast of the Islands, Trapeze and Oliver!.

        This is a novel about Liu Shaoqi in the form of historical biography, which narrates the fighting experience of Liu Shaoqi from the end of 1939 to the beginning of 1942, thereby vividly demonstrating his unswerving political caliber and superior military capability.

        by Yan Zhen

        "Above Living" is a novel by Yan Zhen. The author uses meticulous meticulous brushwork to describe college life and academic ecology one by one. From the examination and employment of doctoral students, to the work and life of college teachers, the distribution of papers and page fees, academic seminars, awards, application for topics, competition for administrative positions, and even the application and acquisition of students' election cadres, examinations, and grants Wait, there are so many stories about corruption in colleges and universities, which are rarely encountered by readers outside colleges. He even wrote about the real situation of another type of intellectuals, represented by "I", who have conscience and pursuit, but have no choice but to survive in the real environment. Although these people have also succumbed to reality, they still have a trace of longing for the independent personality of Chinese traditional intellectuals deep in their hearts. The special feature of "Above Living" is that it has a detailed description of the academic ecology and "survival" ecology of colleges and universities, which is of pioneering significance, and is happy to see by people who care about education and knowledge communities. Moreover, this novel is written with great meaning, with the height of literature and the height of thinking.
