› Find signed collectible books: 'The Birth of Tragedy'
In The Birth of Tragedy Nietzsche expounds on the origins of Greek tragedy and its relevance to the German culture of its time. He declares it to be the expression of a culture which has achieved a delicate but powerful balance between Dionysian insight into the chaos and suffering which underlies all existence and the discipline and clarity of rational Apollonian form. In order to promote a return to these values, Nietzsche critiques complacent rationalism of late nineteenth-century German culture and makes an impassioned plea for the regenerative potential of the music of Wagner. A wide ranging discussion of the nature of art, science, and religion, The Birth of Tragedy's argument raises important questions about the problematic nature of cultural origins which are still valid today.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The German Cookbook: A Complete Guide to Mastering Authentic German Cooking'
Here is the completely authentic book of German cuisine, from delicious soups to the greatest baking specialties of the world, complete with indexes and both English and German. In addition to the easy-to-follow recipes, the author discusses some of the great restaurants in Germany and how to order the traditional dishes. She researched these recipes for a year in the United States, eating almost every night in German restaurants, from the most expensive, to small neighborhood eateries, then traveled throughour Germany itself. Every recipe has been tested in her own kitchen--she guarantees that the ingredients are readily available and that the average person needs no special equipment in order to cook it.
"Few countries in Europe," the author writes in her introduction, "have landscapes more beautiful or maore varied than those of Germany. It is not a large country, slightly smaller than the state of Montana, but within this area there is almost every kind of terrain one finds in the Temperate Zone. The German cuisine is almost as varied as the terrain. Just as Bavaria passes as the archetype for the entire country, so the food of that section--the dumplings, sausages, beer, pork, and cabbage dishes--represents German cooking to the outside world Delicious though these dishes may be, they hardly begin to give even a clue to the whole spectrum of German cooking, which has more appeal than the average American palate than that of any other foreign country. Think of all the German dishes that have been taken over by Americans--not only hamburgers and frankfurters, with or without sauerkraut, but the jelly doughnut that was first the Berliner Pfannkuchen, Boston Creme Pie, that in Germany is 'Moor's Head'; the range of Christmas cookies; and even that old stand-by of ladies' luncheons, creamed chicken in a patty shell, that appears in every German Konditorei as Koniginpastetchen."
Here they all are, hundreds of them. So Prosit and gut essen: your health and good eating. [via]

Seconds before Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor.
Together, this dynamic pair began a journey through space aided by a galaxyful of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed, ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian (formerly Tricia McMillan), Zaphods girlfriend, whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; and Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens hes bought over the years.
Where are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die? For all the answers, stick your thumb to the stars! [via]

Woher soll die 70-jährige Oma, die für ihre Enkelin den Stellenteil durchforstet, wissen, was ein Accountmanager ist? "Die Opfer, deren oder derer sich niemand annahm...?" fragt sich der Jurastudent. Und was, bitte schön, meint meine norddeutsche Bekannte mit "krüsch"?
In solchen und ähnlichen Zweifelsfällen greift eine große Mehrheit immer noch zum Duden, trotz mittlerweile lebhafter Konkurrenz. Die fünfte Auflage gehört mit über 250.000 Wörtern (inklusive "straight", "kultig" und "Relaunch", aber ohne "Boxenluder" und "Powerpoint"), Redewendungen und Anwendungsbeispielen zur S-Klasse unter den Nachschlagewerken. Drei Spalten pro Seite, blaue Stichwörter, kursiv gedruckte Beispielsätze, idiomatische Ausdrücke fett herausgehoben -- am Lay-out liegt es bestimmt nicht, dass man manchmal etwas länger suchen muss.
Unter "Account" steht nun aber lediglich "Zugangsberechtigung zum Internet" und es gibt keinen Verweis auf das mustergültig definierte "Key-Account-Management". Unserem Studenten würde ein kleineres Lexikon, womöglich mit speziellen Info-Boxen, schneller weiterhelfen, andererseits müsste er dann bei Begriffen wie "Falasche" oder "Subsidiarität" doch wieder ein zweites Buch zu Rate ziehen. Will sagen: Dieses Modell hat -- ungeachtet kleiner Einwände -- enorm viel zu bieten, ist aber nichts für Anfänger oder Sonntagsfahrer, sondern für (angehende) Profis.
Wer ungern blättert, das Ding nicht mit sich herumschleppen möchte oder Aussprachehilfen für 4.000 Fremdwörter sowie -- interessant vor allem für Deutschlerner -- 6.000 Begriffe aus unserem Grundwortschatz benötigt, greift zur Version mit CD-ROM oder zur separaten Disc. Also: In Ruhe überlegen, wo und wozu Sie einen Duden brauchen. Auch mit einem Modell aus der Kompaktklasse kann man Spaß haben. Oder wie meine Bekannte sagen würde: Immer schön krüsch bleiben. --Patrick Fischer [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Luftkrieg Und Literatur: Mit Einem Essay Zu Alfred Andersch'
Luftkrieg und Literatur ist die Buchfassung einer Vorlesungsreihe, die W. G. Sebald an der Universität Zürich gehalten hat. Hauptthese und Kollektivvorwurf: Die deutsche Nachkriegsliteratur hat sich vor einer Thematisierung des Luftkrieges gedrückt. Von Ausnahmen abgesehen (Heinrich Bölls Roman "Der Engel schwieg", in den vierziger Jahren geschrieben und 1992(!) veröffentlicht; H. E. Nossacks Dokumentarerzählung "Der Untergang"), haben sich erst in den frühen Siebzigern Vertreter einer jüngeren Schriftstellergeneration diesem Phänomen zugewandt (Alexander Kluges Der Luftangriff auf Halberstadt am 8. April 1945; Hubert Fichtes Roman Grünspan).
Die literarische Verarbeitung des Luftkrieges bei Autoren wie Arno Schmidt, Peter de Mendelssohn, Hermann Kasack u.a., hält er wohl mit Recht für zu marginal, um seine These nachhaltig zu erschüttern. Der an jene gerichtete Vorwurf allerdings, "pseudoästhetische Effekte aus den Trümmern einer vernichteten Welt" zu produzieren, mag nun wohl etwas zu üppig dosierter polemischer Toback sein.
Die heftigen Proteste auf seine Vorlesung von Seiten der üblichen Verdächtigen auf der Linken und der naturgemäß unerwünschte Applaus auf der Rechten hat Sebald veranlaßt, der Buchveröffentlichung noch eine ergänzende Antwort an Gegner und falsche Freunde beizufügen.
Als Schmankerl zum Schluß, von der Sache her vielleicht nicht ganz logisch, bietet uns Sebald noch einen Essay über Alfred Andersch als Beispiel für Eitelkeit, Selbstüberschätzung und Anmaßung eines ansonsten durchaus sympathischen Autors. Wer die halbwegs deftige, aber grundsätzlich an der Sache interessierte Polemik schätzt, wird an diesem Buch seine Freude haben. Das Thema verdient in jedem Fall Interesse. --DTH [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Der Mann Ohne Eigenschaften: Roman'
Musils Protagonist Ulrich ist gar kein Mann ohne Eigenschaften. Der Romantitel führt da ein wenig in die Irre. Tatsächlich ist es eine "Welt von Eigenschaften ohne Mann", die im Buch nichts Charakteristisches mehr zu bieten hat. Bereits die umwerfende Eingangssequenz macht diesen Leerlauf anschaulich, indem sie den Leserblick trichterförmig von metereologischen Banalitäten zu einem Verkehrsunfall in Wien an "einem schönen Augusttag des Jahres 1913" hinunterlenkt, dessen vermeintliche Tragik technische Erklärungen (Bremsversagen) bagatellisieren. Wie in Samuel Becketts Murphy darf auch hier die Sonne zunächst "auf nichts Neues" und Besonderes mehr scheinen. Diese Erkenntnis bringt Ulrich letztlich dazu, "Urlaub vom Leben" zu nehmen und sich in Reflexionen über eben dieses Leben zu ergehen. Die selbstgewählte "Eigenschaftslosigkeit" der Figur erweist sich so als ihre herausragendste Eigenschaft.
Im Mann ohne Eigenschaften passiert nur wenig. Aber es wird unendlich viel gedacht im Buch, und am Ende wird sogar noch intensiv gefühlt: In der Geschwisterliebe Ulrichs zu Agathe realisiert sich die Utopie eines "anderen Zustands" jenseits der absurden Welt. Hierfür findet der Mann ohne Eigenschaften dann poetisch präzise Bilder ohne intellektuelle Schwere, so in meinem Lieblingskapitel Atemzüge eines Sommertags: "Die Sonne war unterdessen höher gestiegen, die Stühle hatten sie wie gestrandete Boote in dem flachen Schatten beim Haus zurückgelassen. Ein geräuschloser Strom glanzlosen Blütenschnees schwebte, von einer abgeblühten Baumgruppe kommend, durch den Sonnenschein; und der Atem, der ihn trug, war so sanft, daß sich kein Blatt regte. Kein Schatten fiel davon auf das Grün des Rasens, aber dieses schien sich von innen zu verdunkeln wie ein Auge". Gäbe es nur diese wunderschöne Stelle, so hätte sich die Lektüre der weit über 1000 vorangegangenen Seiten schon gelohnt. --Thomas Köster [via]

A traves de la historia de Peter Kien, un especialista en China internacionalmente conocido, propietario de una biblioteca de 25.000 volumenes de la que se ocupa el mismo, Canetti habla de los peligros de considerar que un intelectualismo rigido y dogmatico, encerrado en si mismo, pueda prevalecer sobre el mal, el caos y la destruccion. Asi, el protagonista de Auto de fe, despues de sonar que sus libros eran quemados, se casa con su asistenta, Teresa, una mujer iletrada y embrutecida, que habra de ayudarle en la tarea de preservar su biblioteca. Pero Teresa le echa de su casa y Kien, convertido en un mendigo, vaga por el submundo de la ciudad, con su espiritu fluctuando entre horribles alucinaciones y una realidad inenarrable. Su desintegracion final le llevara, en una accion que cierra el ciclo de su sueno premonitorio, a quemar su biblioteca y esperar alli la muerte, en medio del incendio. Con Auto de fe continuamos con la edicion de la obra completa de Canetti, dirigida por Juan Jose del Solar. «Salvaje, sutil, hermosamente misteriosa.

Tomas et Teresa sont les deux pôles du roman. Faut-il choisir de porter le poids du passé sur ses épaules, comme Teresa qui ne peut se passer de la Tchécoslovaquie, qu'elle a pourtant fuie après le Printemps de Prague, de même qu'elle ne peut vivre sans Tomas, ce mari qu'elle chérit d'un amour jaloux et, par-là, à jamais insatisfait ? Ou bien faut-il préférer à cette pesanteur la légèreté de l'être qui caractérise Tomas et Sabina, la maîtresse amie qui seule peut comprendre le médecin séducteur explorant les femmes comme s'il disséquait des objets d'étude au scalpel ? Ne sachant quelle orientation est la plus supportable, le roman offre tour à tour le regard des différents personnages. Même le chien Karénine a droit au chapitre. Mais ce ballet incertain teinté d'irréalité apparaît vite comme une interrogation dialectique qui oscille entre réflexion et délire poétique pour aboutir à la conclusion que la pesanteur et la légèreté, pareillement insoutenables, ne procèdent jamais d'une décision véritable. --Sana Tang-Léopold Wauters [via]
