› Find signed collectible books: 'Das Parfum: Die Geschichte Eines Morders'Book summary:An acclaimed bestseller and international sensation, Patrick Suskind's classic novel provokes a terrifying examination of what happens when one man's indulgence in his greatest passion-his sense of smell-leads to murder. In the slums of eighteenth-century France, the infant Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with one sublime gift-an absolute sense of smell. As a boy, he lives to decipher the odors of Paris, and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of mixing precious oils and herbs. But Grenouille's genius is such that he is not satisfied to stop there, and he becomes obsessed with capturing the smells of objects such as brass doorknobs and frest-cut wood. Then one day he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an ever-more-terrifying quest to create the "ultimate perfume"-the scent of a beautiful young virgin. Told with dazzling narrative brillance, Perfume is a hauntingly powerful tale of murder and sensual depravity. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Faust'Book summary:Goethe's Faust is a classic of European literature. Based on the fable of the man who traded his soul for superhuman powers and knowledge, it became the life's work of Germany's greatest poet. Beginning with an intriguing wager between God and Satan, it charts the life of a deeply flawed individual, his struggle against the nihilism of his diabolical companion Mephistopheles. Part One presents Faust's pact with the Devil and the harrowing tragedy of his love affair with the young Gretchen. Part Two shows Faust's experience in the world of public affairs, including his encounter with Helen of Troy, the emblem of classical beauty and culture. The whole is a symbolic and panoramic commentary on the human condition and on modern European history and civilisation. This new translation of both parts of Faust preserves the poetic character of the original, its tragic pathos and hilarious comedy. In addition, John Williams has translated the Urfaust, a fascinating glimpse into the young Goethe's imagination, and a selection from the draft scenarios for the Walpurgis Night witches' sabbath - material so ribald and blasphemous that Goethe did not dare publish it.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Faust'Book summary:As much poem as it is play, Goethe's Faust is the spiritual quest of a soul determined to explore the very nature of Reality, a revolutionary work that refuses to accept limitations, but, like Romanticism itself, embraces all, the Natural World of everyday life, as well as the Great World of universal experience, the macrocosm as well as the microcosm. The Faust character, the Faustian soul, has become a universal concern. As multifarious as Hamlet and as mythic as Oedipus, he takes us on a journey to the depths and heights of experience and leaves us not the person we were before we met him. It is in Part One of Goethe's masterpiece that we discover Faust as the hero in whose being two contradictory forces collide. He is self-alienated man struggling to expand beyond the limitations of intellect and the known world, desperate to achieve a state, indeed mystical, where the opposites of Knowledge and Sensuality are One. Part One of Faust records that attempt in the context of earthly existence. Goethe's Faust has rightly been called the most audacious work in Western Civilization. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Faust'Book summary:Perhaps some apology ought to be given to English scholars, that is, those who do not know German, (to those, at least, who do not know what sort of a thing Faust is in the original,) for offering another translation to the public, of a poem which has been already translated, not only in a literal prose form, but also, twenty or thirty times, in metre, and sometimes with great spirit, beauty, and power.
The author of the present version, then, has no knowledge that a rendering of this wonderful poem into the exact and ever-changing metre of the original has, until now, been so much as attempted. To name only one defect, the very best versions which he has seen neglect to follow the exquisite artist in the evidently planned and orderly intermixing of male and female rhymes, i.e. rhymes which fall on the last syllable and those which fall on the last but one. Now, every careful student of the versification of Faust must feel and see that Goethe did not intersperse the one kind of rhyme with the other, at random, as those translators do; who, also, give the female rhyme (on which the vivacity of dialogue and description often so much depends,) in so small a proportion.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Faust'Book summary:Randall Jarrell's translation of Goethe's classic, illustrated with extraordinary new drawings by Peter Sis[via]
Randall Jarrell's translation of Faust is one of his most important achievements. In 1957 he inscribed Goethe's motto on the first page of his notebook: "Ohne Hast aber ohne Rast" ("Without haste but without rest"), and from then until his death in 1965 he worked on the masterpiece of his "own favorite daemon, dear good great Goethe." His intent was to make the German poetry free, unrhymed poetry in English. He all but finished the job before he died, and the few lines that remained untouched--Gretchen's Spinning Song--were rendered into English by Robert Lowell.
This elegant new edition features numerous beautiful line drawings by the renowned Czech artist, Peter Sis, author of the award-winning books The Starry Messenger and Tibet: Through the Red Box.More editions of Faust:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Faust, Parts One and Two'Book summary:Goethe's masterpiece and perhaps the greatest work in German literature, "Faust" has made the legendary German alchemist one of the central myths of the Western world. Here indeed is a monumental Faust, an audacious man boldly wagering with the devil, Mephistopheles, that no magic, sensuality, experience or knowledge can lead him to a moment he would wish to last forever. Here, in "Faust," "Part 1," the tremendous versatility of Goethe's genius creates some of the most beautiful passages in literature. Here too we experience Goethe's characteristic humor, the excitement and eroticism of the witches' Walpurgis Night, and the moving emotion of Gretchen's tragic fate.
This newly revised edition, which offers Peter Salm's wonderfully readable translation as well as the original German on facing pages, brings us "Faust" in a vital, rhythmic American idiom that carefully preserves the grandeur, integrity, and poetic immediacy of Goethe's words. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Goethe's Faust: Part 1 A New American Version'Book summary:Goethe said that all his works were "one long confession," and certainly into Faust, this greatest masterwork of German literature, on which he worked sixty years, he welded his own search for meaning of existence and of the soul.
From the wager between God and Mephistopheles and the pact Faust makes with the latterthat this genial, urbane devil could have his soul if ever Faust became satisfied with any experience or knowledge Mephistopheles could show himthe drama unfolds in scenes that are human and compelling, that hold the reader by their despair and ecstasy, their tender love, passionate desire and wisdom, but also by their gaiety, humor, and irony. As Faust proceeds with his devilish guide, it is his striving for understanding that becomes important, not the attainment, and in fact this is what saves him in the end.
Part I of Faust, which Goethe published twenty-four years before its sequel, deals with Faust's journey through the everyday world and his love for Gretchen. It is made especially memorable in this translation, which Victor Lange, Chairman of the Department of German at Princeton, has called "certainly the most usable and most appealing Faust translation in English. It is modern without losing the dignity of the original and is perhaps the only translation that conveys something of the freshness and poetic vitality of Goethe's own speech."

› Find signed collectible books: 'Great Books of the Western World'Book summary:The Iliad (Ancient Greek ?????, Ilias) is, together with the Odyssey, one of two ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer, a supposedly blind Ionian poet. The epics are considered by most modern scholars to be the oldest literature in the Greek language. The Iliad concerns events during the tenth and final year in the siege of the city of Ilion, or Troy, by the Greeks. The Odyssey (Greek: ????????, Odusseia)is commonly dated circa 800 to 600 BC. The poem is, in part, a sequel to Homer's Iliad and mainly concerns the events that befall the Greek hero Odysseus (or Ulysses) in his long journeys after the fall of Troy and when he at last returns to his native land of Ithaca.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Im Westen Nichts Neues'Book summary:Will man den Wehrdienst verweigern und Zivildienst ableisten, dann sollte man in der Gewissensprüfung darlegen können, warum man sich denn keinen Dienst an der Waffe vorstellen kann. Und mehr als einmal dürfte dann als Begründung die Lektüre von Erich Maria Remarques Im Westen nicht Neues folgen.
Dieser Roman schildert aufs Eindringlichste die schauerlichen Erlebnisse des Soldaten Paul Bäumer an der Westfront des Ersten Weltkrieges, wo sich Deutsche und Alliierte in einem grausamen Grabenkrieg gegenüberstanden. Aber eigentlich sind Schauplatz und Zeit bedeutungslos, beherrschend ist das sinnlose Töten und die zu reinem Menschenmaterial degradierten Soldaten, die schon lange den Glauben an den "gerechten Krieg" aufgegeben haben. Hier ist kein Platz für klischeehaft mutige Helden, Verlierer sind sie letztlich alle, die da im Schlamm der Schützengräben liegen.
So mancher Leser wird nach diesem Roman seine Meinung zu Krieg und Militärdienst geändert haben. Wer heute noch glaubt, Krieg könne eine heldenhafte Sache sein, der kennt das Buch wahrscheinlich nicht und sollte einmal einen Blick hinein werfen. Danach ist er entweder eines besseren belehrt oder scheinbar schon völlig abgestumpft. --Joachim Hohwieler [via]

Si de surcroît ce petit garçon vous demande avec insistance de dessiner un mouton, vous voilà plus qu'étonné ! À partir de là, vous n'aurez plus qu'une seule interrogation : savoir d'où vient cet étrange petit bonhomme et connaître son histoire.
S'ouvre alors un monde étrange et poétique, peuplé de métaphores, décrit à travers les paroles d'un "petit prince" qui porte aussi sur notre monde à nous un regard tout neuf, empli de naïveté, de fraîcheur et de gravité. Très vite, vous découvrez d'étranges planètes, peuplées d'hommes d'affaires, de buveurs, de vaniteux, d'allumeurs de réverbères.
Cette évocation onirique, à laquelle participent les aquarelles de l'auteur, a tout d'un parcours initiatique, où l'enfant apprendra les richesses essentielles des rapports humains et le secret qui les régit : "On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

› Find signed collectible books: 'Perfume: The Story of a Murderer'Book summary:An acclaimed bestseller and international sensation, Patrick Suskind's classic novel provokes a terrifying examination of what happens when one man's indulgence in his greatest passionhis sense of smellleads to murder.
In the slums of eighteenth-century France, the infant Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with one sublime gift-an absolute sense of smell. As a boy, he lives to decipher the odors of Paris, and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of mixing precious oils and herbs. But Grenouille's genius is such that he is not satisfied to stop there, and he becomes obsessed with capturing the smells of objects such as brass doorknobs and frest-cut wood. Then one day he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an ever-more-terrifying quest to create the "ultimate perfume"the scent of a beautiful young virgin. Told with dazzling narrative brillance, Perfume is a hauntingly powerful tale of murder and sensual depravity.

Der Dativ Ist Dem Genitiv Sein Tod: Ein Wegweiser Durch Den Irrgarten Der Deutschen Spracheby Bastian SickISBN 3462034480 (3-462-03448-0)
Softcover, Kiepenheuer & Witsch

› Find signed collectible books: 'Der Dativ Ist Dem Genitiv Sein Tod: Ein Wegweiser Durch Den Irrgarten Der Deutschen Sprache'Book summary:Die deutsche Sprache liegt uns offensichtlich fast allen am Herzen, wie man an der ebenso endlosen wie hitzigen Debatte über die Rechtschreibreform erkennen kann. Einerseits. Andererseits ist leider ein oft unbedachter und liebloser Umgang mit ihr zu beklagen. Die Sprache kann sich ja nicht wehren, nicht einmal gegen schlimmste Vergewaltigungen -- man denke nur an den brutalstmöglichen Sprachschrott unserer Politiker. So etwas wie eine Sprachpolizei bräuchte man, die freundlich aber bestimmt auf Vergehen hinweist und Bußgelder verhängt. Freundliche Hinweise bekommt man auch im Zwiebelfisch, der Sprachkolumne, die Bastian Sick seit über einem Jahr wöchentlich für Spiegel-Online schreibt. Kaum zu glauben, dass man über Phänomene wie Fugen-s, unregelmäßige Verben oder sich epidemisch ausbreitende Suffixe so unterhaltsame Texte schreiben kann. Bastian Sick ist Entertainer und Oberlehrer in einer Person, wobei er letzteren vor allem in tabellarischen Zusammenfassungen am Ende seiner Kolumnen auslebt. Dabei ist das doch wohl der Idealfall eines Sachbuchs: wo man lachen und schmunzeln und gleichzeitig jede Menge lernen kann. Zum Beispiel, wo das Eszett seinen Namen herhat und warum die Deutschen als einzige diesen wunderlichen Buchstaben benutzen. Oder wie man eingebürgerte Fremdwörter konjugiert -- warum es zwar ich recycle heißt, aber nicht du recyclest . Und auf die verzwickte Frage, ob gedownloadet oder downgeloadet richtig ist -- wer hätte sich das noch nie überlegt --, weiß Sick die verblüffend einfache Antwort: Weder noch, es heißt heruntergeladen . Und wieso der Zwiebelfisch ausgerechnet Zwiebelfisch heißt, erfährt man naturgemäß auch. Der Dativ ist dem Genitiv sein Tod bietet 47-mal charmante Aha- und Haha-Erlebnisse und ist jedem Sprach-User heißestens zu empfehlen. --Christian Stahl [via]

In dieser 22., völlig neu bearbeiteten Auflage sind alle neuen Rechtschreibregeln verbindlich zusammengefasst. Zudem haben es 5.000 neue Wörter geschafft, Einzug in das Standardwerk zu halten -- von "aufbrezeln" über "Bimbes" und "Maschendrahtzaun" bis hin zum "Warmduscher".
Der Duden 2000 verzeichnet alle neuen und alle herkömmlichen Schreib- und Trennweisen eines Wortes und informiert somit umfassend über den heutigen Stand der deutschen Rechtschreibung. Um das Nachschlagen und damit den Umstieg auf die neuen Regeln zu erleichtern, wurde das gesamte Lay-out des Innenteils verbessert. Allen voran bieten die 300 farbig hervorgehobenen Infokästen zu Stichwörtern, deren Schreibung und korrekter Gebrauch besondere Schwierigkeiten bereiten, eine gute Übersicht.
Informativ und gut verständlich ist auch der einleitende Teil "Rechtschreibung und Zeichensetzung". Die Regeln sind nach Themen wie Apostroph oder Bindestrich geordnet und farbig unterlegt. Ausführliche Beispiele zu den einzelnen Regeln helfen dabei, Unsicherheiten zu beseitigen. Somit ist der Duden 2000 mit seinen insgesamt 120.000 Stichwörtern und den über 500.000 Beispielen ein sehr vielseitiges deutsches Wörterbuch, das alle Fragen der sprachlichen Alltagspraxis beantwortet. Und der gelbe Klassiker ist auch mit CD-ROM erhältlich. --Bettina Wenzel und Herwig Slezak [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Die Leiden Des Jungen Werthers'Book summary:Klappentext:
Goethe selbst hat die bündigste Inhaltsangabe zu seinem >Werther< gegeben: »Eine Geschichte (...), darin ich einen jungen Menschen darstelle, der (...) sich in schwärmende Träume verliert, sich durch Spekulation untergräbt, bis er zuletzt durch dazutretende unglückliche Leidenschaften, besonders eine endlose Liebe zerrüttet, sich eine Kugel vor den Kopf schießt.«
Nonkonformismus als Rebellion der Gefühle - diese Botschaft des berühmten Briefromans, der innerhalb der deutschen Literatur den Beginn der modernen Prosa markiert, ist heute so aktuell wie vor 200 Jahren und gilt als Schlüsselwerk des Sturm und Drang. Er thematisiert den unüberbrückbaren Zwiespalt zwischen Geist und Natur, zwischen Ich und Gesellschaft, den der sensible Bürgersohn Werther empfindet und an dem er zerbricht. Bei seinen Zeitgenossen wurde Goethes Roman äußerst kontrovers diskutiert, da er darin mit den damaligen bürgerlichen Wertvorstellungen brach und somit bei den Kritikern eine Welle der Entrüstung auslöste.»Es ist ein Meisterwerk, worin hinreißendes Gefühl und frühreifer Kunstverstand eine fast einmalige Mischung eingehen. Jugend und Genie sind sein Gegenstand, und aus Jugend und Genie ist es selbst geboren.« Thomas Mann
Künstlerinformation:Johann Wolfgang Goethe (geadelt 1782) wurde am 28. August 1749 in Frankfurt am Main geboren und starb am 22. März 1832 in Weimar. Sein Werk prägte die Epochen des »Sturm und Drang« und der »deutschen Klassik«. Es umfasst sämtliche literarischen Gattungen, dazu autobiographische Schriften und naturwissenschaftliche Studien. Goethe stand in regem Kontakt zu allen geistigen Größen seiner Zeit und seine Wirkung auf die Literatur ist bis heute ungebrochen. Nicht nur im eigenen Land gilt er als größter Dichter der Deutschen.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Le Petit Prince'Book summary:Imaginez-vous perdu dans le désert, loin de tout lieu habité, et face à un petit garçon tout blond, surgi de nulle part. Si de surcroît ce petit garçon vous demande avec insistance de dessiner un mouton, vous voilà plus qu'étonné ! À partir de là, vous n'aurez plus qu'une seule interrogation : savoir d'où vient cet étrange petit bonhomme et connaître son histoire.
S'ouvre alors un monde étrange et poétique, peuplé de métaphores, décrit à travers les paroles d'un "petit prince" qui porte aussi sur notre monde à nous un regard tout neuf, empli de naïveté, de fraîcheur et de gravité. Très vite, vous découvrez d'étranges planètes, peuplées d'hommes d'affaires, de buveurs, de vaniteux, d'allumeurs de réverbères.
Cette évocation onirique, à laquelle participent les aquarelles de l'auteur, a tout d'un parcours initiatique, où l'enfant apprendra les richesses essentielles des rapports humains et le secret qui les régit : "On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
Oeuvre essentielle de la littérature, ce livre de Saint-Exupéry est un ouvrage que l'on aura à coeur de raconter à son enfant, page après page, histoire aussi de redécouvrir l'enfant que l'on était autrefois, avant de devenir une grande personne ! --Xavier Marciniak [via]
