 With an Unopened Umbrella in the Pouring Rain【電子書籍】[ Ludovic Bruckstein ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The stories in this collection are stories of the lives and struggles of a wonderful variety of characters living in the Maramures region, in the years leading up to a war that will suddenly and irretrievably destroy the pattern of their existence. The eerily shocking ending of many of these stories is the moment their protagonists climb on the cattle trains to be transported to Auschwitz; while leaving the tale of their often tragic fate unstated.＜br /＞ Bruckstein's works, novels, stories and plays, deal with the sometimes cruel, sometimes comic, lives of simple people whose fate is controlled by highly unpredictable forces. These he describes with understanding, compassion and forgiveness; smiling at the petty worries and trivialities that people take so seriously, while often remaining unaware of very real and existential dangers. He belongs to a generation so well described by the writer Czeslaw Milosz, in his book, The Captive Mind: "Few inhabitants of the Baltic States, Poland or Czechoslovakia, of Hungary or Romania, could summarize in a few words the story of their existence. Their lives have been complicated by the course of historic events".＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 460円 |

 Moral Complexities in Turn of the Millennium British Literature【電子書籍】[ Mara E. Reisman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞Moral Complexities in Turn of the Millennium British Literature＜/em＞ offers a critical analysis of moral complexity and social responsibility in works by Kazuo Ishiguro, Patrick McGrath, Graham Swift, Andrea Levy, and Jeanette Winterson. Mara Reisman argues that through their writing, these authors reveal and upset literary, cultural, and political fictions and encourage readers to think carefully about language, power, community, and social justice. The book examines moral issues in two different ways: how books by these authors address morally complex social, political, and cultural issues and how their books serve a moral function by challenging readers to be socially engaged. Reisman provides an in-depth analysis of The Remains of the Day, Asylum, The Light of Day, Small Island, and The Daylight Gate and uses these books to discuss twentieth- and twenty-first-century British politics and culture. These books address a wide variety of issues often associated with moral judgments: war, racism, adultery, maternal neglect, murder, professional misconduct, witchcraft, and religion. Despite this diversity and settings that range from the seventeenth century to the late twentieth century, these books include similar arguments about how empathy, personal responsibility, and civic engagement can create more productive social relations and a less divided world.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 6,302円 |

 Goethes Naturverst?ndnis und der politische Umbruch in Frankreich Revolution vs. Evolution【電子書籍】[ Ronja Schmidt-Prestin ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Literaturgeschichte, Epochen, Note: 1,7, Carl von Ossietzky Universit?t Oldenburg (Fakult?t III Germanistik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Eine Revolution bedeutet meist eine pl?tzliche Ver?nderung oder Neuerung und ist damit das genaue Gegenteil einer Evolution, welche eher einen st?ndigen Entwicklungs- und Ver?nderungsprozess beschreibt. Im Lateinischen steht das Wort revolutio f?r den Begriff zur?ckw?lzen. 'Revolution ist eine Ver?nderung, in welcher eine Gesellschaft wesentlich auf sich in einer Form zur?ckkommt, die ihrem l?ngst entwickelten Inhalt entspricht, so dass dieser darin seine Befreiung und Entfaltung findet.' (Pfreundschuh 2001). Bezogen auf unsere heutige Gesellschaft kommt eine Revolution h?ufig einem gewaltsamen, politischen Umbruch gleich. Diese Tatsache r?hrt von der Franz?sischen Revolution im 18. Jahrhundert her. Was aber hat der Naturwissenschaftler und Poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe mit der Franz?sischen Revolution zu tun? Diese Arbeit soll sich mit der Frage besch?ftigen, welche Rolle Evolution und Revolution in Goethes Naturverst?ndnis gespielt haben und wie sich durch seine naturwissenschaftliche Haltung auch seine Meinung zur Franz?sischen Revolution und umgekehrt erkl?ren l?sst. Um dieser Frage auf den Grund zu gehen soll zuerst auf Goethes Selbstverst?ndnis als Naturwissenschaftler eingegangen werden, da ihn die Meisten eher als Poet kennen. Nachdem Goethes Verbindung zur Naturwissenschaft eingehend erl?utert wurde soll dann das ausschlaggebendste Beispiel f?r seine Einstellung zu Revolution und Evolution in Bezug auf die Naturwissenschaft erl?utert werden, n?mlich der Streit zwischen den Neptunisten und Vulkanisten (oftmals auch Plutonisten genannt). Im Folgenden wird diese Arbeit einen ?berblick ?ber die ?u?erst brutalen Vorg?nge w?hrend der Franz?sischen Revolution liefern und im Anschluss daran wird beschrieben, welche Meinung Johann Wolfgang von Goethe hinsichtlich der Revolution in Frankreich vertrat und was das f?r seine Arbeit als Wissenschaftler, Politiker und Poet in Deutschland bedeutete. Das Hauptaugenmerk dieser Arbeit liegt darin, m?glichst pr?zise Verbindungen zwischen Goethes naturwissenschaftlichem Arbeiten und seiner T?tigkeit als Politiker und Poet w?hren der Franz?sischen Revolution darzulegen, da diese Verbindung von exorbitanter Wichtigkeit daf?r sein k?nnte, zu verstehen, warum Goethe die Revolution so verabscheute.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,487円 |
 Martin Luther Rebell in einer Zeit des Umbruchs【電子書籍】[ Heinz Schilling ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞"Martin Luther, der Wittenberger Reformator, lebte in einer 'Epoche, in welcher der Glaube herrscht. Ja, in der Zeit des Umbruchs vom Mittelalter zur Neuzeit war es im Wesentlichen ihm zu verdanken, dass die Religion zu jener Kraft wurde, die Deutschland und Europa f?r mehr als ein Jahrhundert in ihren Bann schlagen sollte ? 'gl?nzend, herzerhebend und fruchtbar', aber auch finster, herzzerrei?end und zerst?rerisch. Das musste auch Luther durchleben ? in hochfliegenden Stunden des Erfolgs und der Hoffnung, alle Welt zu ?berzeugen, und in bitteren Wochen, in denen er Satan und seine finsteren Gewalten gegen sich und sein Werk anst?rmen sah. Nie aber hat er daran gezweifelt, dass ihn Gott selbst zu seinem Propheten berufen hatte." (Aus dem Prolog) Kein anderer Deutscher hat die Geschichte Europas zwischen Mittelalter und Moderne st?rker gepr?gt als Martin Luther. Der Wittenberger M?nch bietet Kaiser, Papst und Kirche die Stirn, will die Universalreform der Christenheit, begr?ndet aber den Protestantismus. Heinz Schilling, einer der besten Kenner der Epoche, stellt Luther in seine Zeit und schildert ihn nicht als einsamen Helden, sondern als Rebell in einem gewaltigen Ringen um die Religion und ihre Rolle in der Welt. Seine brillante Biographie dringt tief in Luthers Sph?re ein und zeigt den Reformator als schwierigen, widerspr?chlichen Charakter, der kraft seines immensen Willens zwar die Welt ver?ndert ? in vielem aber auch ganz anders, als er es beabsichtigte＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,800円 |

 Dr. Robert Maldron - The Continuum Breach (Part 2) (Creatures from the Continuum), Dr. Robert Maldron - The Continuum Breach (Creatures from the Continuum) & Robert Maldron: Night of the Werewolves (Creatures from the Continuum)【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Robert Maldron: Night of the Werewolves (Creatures from the Continuum) - A virus invades the plane of existence of higher evolved creatures known as the Continuum, which affects the quality of the bodily fluids that they produce and consume from each other to survive. The virus also makes them sterile, unable to reproduce offspring to maintain quality reserves of fluid. These creatures aim to reach a state of spiritual perfection without physical form eventually like so many of the other Continuum members, but for now they must find a way to survive.＜br /＞ The Council of the Continuum devise an experiment where the spirits of the last remaining unborn infants are placed inside physical bodies and born on a parallel plane of existence, isolated from the virus. The experiment requires that the new born evolve and return over a finite life span, during which valuable body fluids will be harvested by the Continuum and its members during rest periods for their nourishment and continued existence. The experiment participants only become aware of their true origins when their physical life ends and they return to the Continuum plane. The plane on which they are to live out these lives is designated Project Earth, the unborn offspring given the generic name, human and the body fluid that is so important to the Continuum members is given the name blood. Earth's history over the millennia is littered with the legends of strange sightings of and battles with non-humans from the creatures of Greek myth to the werewolf and vampire of literary acclaim. One such creature, a vampire by human description, is Max Von Konstein, Continuum Project Earth director designate. It's Von Konstein's role on earth to find an antidote for the virus , steer human kind where possible without interfering directly and stop unauthorised access to earth by Continuum inhabitants.＜br /＞ Dr. Robert Maldron - The Continuum Breach (Creatures from the Continuum) - The boundaries that define the planes of existence between the earth and Continuum have collided causing a breach, as humans continue to meddle with the earth's natural environment. This breach has created another doorway through which creatures of the Continuum plane can pass through. Though not as large as the breach that allowed dinosaurs to visit the earth plane millennia ago, it has enabled some of the most formidable creatures that have defined earth's myths and legend from past visitations to slip through once again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With some Continuum species unable to conceive and maintain the means by which they survive due to a mystery virus - taking limited blood from their siblings ? an experiment called Project Earth, was set up by the Continuum council in isolation from the virus with continuum species born in human form. The objective, to create a ready made source of quality blood that could be harvested in a controlled way for continuum members during periods of human sleep. The experiment has taken thousands of earth years to develop and was working toward its objectives until early in the 20th century when human kind became preoccupied with drugs and alcohol and then came the modern day blood disorders and diseases.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This has meant that the quality of blood harvested has been poor and some Continuum species have continued to perish. These creatures have become disillusioned with Project Earth and the Continuum Council's inability to deliver the experiment's objective seeking to take matters into their own hands by visiting the earth at every opportunity to take what they need by force. The Continuum council has prevented this by restricting access to the earth plane, but occasionally the actions of human kind have provided random events that have led to the two planes merging unexpectedly, leading to a doorway for unauthorised access. The Director, Max Von Konstein, calls upon one of his partial human converts on earth, Dr. Robert Maldron, to help him.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 217円 |
 The Role of Women within the Harry Potter Series An Analysis of the Depiction of Fleur Delacour, Dolores Umbridge and Hermione Granger【電子書籍】[ J. B. ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 1,7, Universit?t Regensburg (Anglistik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In this thesis, the author focuses on the feminist debate around the Harry Potter series. The question whether Harry Potter can be seen as sexist or as feminist will be investigated and analysed while taking a closer look at the characters of Fleur Delacour, Dolores Umbridge and Hermione Granger. [...] Generally speaking, when it comes to the identification of the role of females within the Harry Potter series, critics are notably divided here. According to Anne Collins Smith, there are two different directions of interpreting J.K. Rowling's work; the ones who see feminism supported and thoroughly depicted in the books and those critics who think of the Harry Potter series as being sexist (cf. Collins Smith 80). The critics who point out the sexism within the Harry Potter series are directed by writers such as Elizabeth Heilman, Trevor Donaldson and Christine Schoefer. Christine Schoefer's article is titled Harry Potter's Girl Trouble and was published on the release day of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It focuses on the alleged sexism within the Harry Potter series. She states that J.K. Rowling's message to the reader of her series is that boys should be the leaders in the world and girls are hardly likeable and thus play the role of the supporters of the male supremacy - at best (cf. Schoefer). Matching Christine Schoefer's thoughts in many points, Elizabeth E. Heilman and Trevor Donaldson have published their essay From Sexist to (sort-of) Feminist: Representations of Gender in the Harry Potter Series. These publications are strongly based on the idea of the Harry Potter series being a reinforcement of gender stereotypes (cf. Schoefer, cf. Heilman and Donaldson 139). Here, Heilman and Donaldson especially criticise the 'absence of powerful females' (cf. Heilman and Donaldson 139). Females always fulfil secondary positions within the books, concerning power and authority, and the Harry Potter series follow typical stereotypes for both males and females (cf. Heilman and Donaldson 139). It is stated that the book series contains far more important male characters: 115 females mentioned in the series are barely more than half as many characters as the 201 males which are included. Also, according to Heilman and Donaldson, the more dominant characters are almost exclusively male. Here, they especially refer to evil characters such as Severus Snape, Draco Malfoy, Wormtail and of course Lord Voldemort (cf. Heilman and Donaldson 141).
