For a long time the Elbe stood in the shadow of Father Rhine, but now its time has come! It is being discovered more and more as a stream with a river landscape that is as grandiose as it is dynamic, rich in vastness, stillness and beauty. The UNESCO biosphere reserve "Middle Elbe" is like a string of pearls in which places of world importance and UNESCO World Heritage sites are lined up. As the last major river that has so far been spared from canalization, the Elbe can still live out its ups and downs freely and change its face every day. Lined by sandy shores and rustic alluvial forests, inhabited by beavers, eagles and storks, this landscape is considered an ark of diversity, the "silverware" of German unity. The author of the “3in1 travel guide for the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve”, Dr. Ernst Paul Dorfler, is itself a child of the Elbe. He takes his readers into a world of amazement and wonder. Here, on the Elbe in Magdeburg, the first German Emperor had his residence 1000 years ago; A new age began in Wittenberg 500 years ago with the Reformation by Luther; 200 years ago, a Garden Kingdom of Enlightenment was created in Dessau-Wörlitz in the Principality of Anhalt, which today attracts a million visitors every year. With 7 hiking tours and 15 bike tours, the author cheerfully takes his readers on a journey through the region. It makes them curious about their surroundings and at the same time sharpens their senses for the previously unseen in nature and landscape. the first German emperor had his residence 1000 years ago; A new age began in Wittenberg 500 years ago with the Reformation by Luther; 200 years ago, a Garden Kingdom of Enlightenment was created in Dessau-Wörlitz in the Principality of Anhalt, which today attracts a million visitors every year.

New, specially commissioned essays on representative works of 19th-century German realism. This volume of new essays by leading scholars treats a representative sampling of German realist prose from the period 1848 to 1900, the period of its dominance of the German literary landscape. It includes essays on familiar, canonical authors -- Stifter, Freytag, Raabe, Fontane, Thomas Mann -- and canonical texts, but also considers writers frequently omitted from traditional literary histories, such as Luise Mühlbach, Friedrich Spielhagen, Louise von François, Karl May, and Eugenie Marlitt. The introduction situates German realism in the context of both German literary history and of developments in other European literatures, and surveys the most prominent critical studies of ninteenth-century realism. The essays treat the following topics: Stifter's Brigitta and the lesson of realism; Mühlbach, Ranke, and the truth of historical fiction; regional histories as national history in Freytag's DieAhnen; gender and nation in Louise von François's historical fiction; theory, reputation, and the career of Friedrich Spielhagen; Wilhelm Raabe and the German colonial experience; the poetics of work in Freytag, Stifter, andRaabe; Jewish identity in Berthold Auerbach's novels; Eugenie Marlitt's narratives of virtuous desire; the appeal of Karl May in the Wilhelmine Empire; Thomas Mann's portrayal of male-male desire in his early short fiction; and Fontane's Effi Briest and the end of realism. Contributors: Robert C. Holub, Brent O. Petersen, Lynne Tatlock, Thomas C. Fox, Jeffrey L. Sammons, John Pizer, Hans J. Rindisbacher, Irene S.

Modernist poet-painters Mina Loy and Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven had many friends in common (including Djuna Barnes and Marcel Duchamp), yet there is no record that the two ever met. Their non-relationship presents a curious "absent presence" in modernist history.Zelazo weaves lines of poetry by both women into an imaginary conversation, exploring the way their work has been suppressed, stitched, spliced, and edited by male editors and arbiters of taste.

The magazine for classic and contemporary nude photography returns with a vibrant compilation of the most beautiful works from the field of the most intimate form of portrait photography. In selecting the works, it was important to the editor Matthias Straub to curate a bridge between the traditional approach to the human body and new, unusual perspectives. In the current edition, there are therefore both abstract works and also very classical nude studies. The familiar structuring of the magazine into the five acts of the opera, according to Gustav Freytag, guides viewers through the photos selected as a content-related leitmotiv.

This innovative book uses mainstream theoretical analysis to explain the successes and failures of monetary reforms. Andreas Freytag argues that there is a systematic economic relationship between the success of a reform, the degree of monetary commitment and the institutional setting in a particular country. The book begins with a theoretical discussion of this relationship, and a formalisation of the theory of monetary reform. It goes on to offer an empirical assessment of the theory, using cross-section methods and case studies, before finally presenting economic policy options for countries facing monetary problems.Success and Failure in Monetary Reform will be of unique interest to economists and central banks. Scholars and students of monetary economics all over the world, in particular in developing countries, will also find this book invaluable.

Siegfried Lenz es, junto con Heinrich Böll y Günter Grass, el más reconocido autor literario alemán de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. El barco faro, la novella que encabeza este soberbio volumen de relatos, es una de sus obras más míticas, nunca hasta ahora traducida al castellano. Han pasado nueve años desde el final de la segunda guerra mundial. Los tripulantes de un barco faro antiminas, anclado en el mar Báltico, se preparan para afrontar su última guardia. Pero en esa última noche, su paz se interrumpe. Freytag, el capitán del barco, permite subir a tres hombres cuya embarcación se ha averiado, y con ellos, un cargamento ilegal de armas. Los tres delincuentes, encabezados por un siniestro doctor de nombre Caspary, toman como rehenes a los tripulantes del barco faro. La tensión es palpable, sobre todo cuando sale a relucir un episodio poco honorable de Freytag durante la guerra.Obra alegórica sobre el bien y el mal, sobre el deber y la culpa, sobre las deudas del pasado, El bar

Studies showing the influence of the French Arthurian romances of Chrétien de Troyes on German medieval literature. The pre-eminent role of Chrétien de Troyes in the formation of Arthurian romance is reflected in the swift and brilliant response of German courtly poets to his works. Within a few years of their composition, Erec et Enideand Yvain were adapted for German audiences by Hartmann von Aue, while Chrétien's unfinished Grail-story was taken up by Wolfram von Eschenbach and brought to a triumphant conclusion in Parzival. In this volume a distinguished international team of scholars contrast the treatment and reception of the stories in Germany with their French originals. Contributors: E.M.MELETINSKY, MICHAEL BATTS, SILVIA RANAWAKE, W.H.JACKSON, H.B.WILSON, KAREN PRATT, MARTIN H.

Originating in 1916 with the avant-garde Dada movement at the famous Café Voltaire in Zurich, surrealism aimed to unleash the powers of the creative act without thinking. Max Ernst, André Breton, Tristan Tzara, Paul Éluard, Philippe Soupault, and Louis Aragon created a movement that spread wildly to all corners of the globe, inspiring not only poetry but also artists like Joan Miro and René Magritte and cinematic works by Antonin Artaud, Luis Bunuel, and Salvador Dalí. As the editor, Mary Ann Caws, says, “Essential to surrealist behavior is a constant state of openness, of readiness for whatever occurs, whatever marvelous object we might come across, manifesting itself against the already thought, the already lived.” Here are the gems of this major, mind-bending aesthetic, political, and humane movement: writers as diverse as Aragon, Breton, Dalí, René Char, Robert Desnos, Mina Loy, Paul Magritte, Alice Paalen, Gisele Prassinos, Man Ray, Kay Sage, and Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven are included here, providing a grand picture of this revolutionary movement that shocked the world.
