Briefwechsel mit Friedrich Ernst Fehsenfeld I, Band 91 der Gesammelten Werke (Karl Mays Gesammelte Werke)Karl MayGebundene Ausgabe1891 - 1906 Buch mit Leinen-Einband Mit Band 91 beginnt eine neue Epoche der " Gesammelten Werke", die nun zu " Karl May s Gesammelten Werken und Briefen" erweitert werden. Auch unser Bild des Menschen und Schriftstellers Karl May wird durch den Briefwechsel mit seinen Verlegern, Freunden und Lesern wesentlich erweitert, sei es durch intime Einblicke in sein Privatleben und seine schriftstellerische Werkstatt oder einfach durch die literarische Qualität seiner Briefe. Eröffnet wird die Reihe der Briefbände mit einer zweibändigen Edition der Korrespondenz Karl Mays mit seinem zu Lebzeiten wichtigsten Verleger Friedrich Ernst Fehsenfeld, der zusammen mit seinem Vetter Felix Krais die berühmte "grüne Reihe" begründete und seinem Autor trotz mancher Auseinandersetzungen und Anfeindungen bis zuletzt die Treue hielt. In Briefen, die von der ersten Begegnung im Jahre 1891 bis zu Mays Tod im Jahre 1912 reichen, wird in allen Höhen und Tiefen eine einzigartige Beziehung zwischen einem Autor und seinem Verleger sichtbar, konturieren sich deutlicher als in jeder anderen Darstellungsform das menschliche Antlitz der beiden so unterschiedlichen Männer und die wechselhafte Entwicklung ihres Verhältnisses. Darüber hinaus wird erstmals in aller Vollständigkeit und der nötigen Genauigkeit die Entstehungsgeschichte der bei Fehsenfeld erschienenen " Gesammelten Reiseromane" bzw. " Gesammelten Reiseerzählungen" und der anderen May-Editionen nachvollziehbar. Neben einem informativen Vorwort dienen zahlreiche Stellenkommentare des Herausgebers Dieter Sudhoff dem Verständnis der Briefe. Der Titel ist auch als ebook erhältlich. |
Oscar: A LifeMatthew SturgisTaschenbuch' The Book of the Year, perhaps of the decade, has to be Matthew Sturgis's Oscar ' T L S , Books of the Year.

A terrific achievement' Evening Standard . ' Page-turning . . . Vivid and desperately moving. However much you think you know Wilde, this book will absorb and entertain you' Sunday Times . ' Wonderfully exciting . . . Sturgis's great achievement is to take on board his great flurry of contradictions' Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday . '[ Sturgis] is a tremendous orchestrator of material, fastidious, unhurried, indefatigable' Observer . ' Oscar Wilde is more fashionable than ever . . . Sturgis's account of the hearing at the Old Bailey is as gripping as it is grim' Guardian . ' The Book of the Year, perhaps of the decade, has to be Matthew Sturgis's Oscar which captures the wit, the love-ability, the dramatic genius, the insane self-destructiveness, the originality of Wilde . . . [ Sturgis] is the greatest chronicler of the 1890s we have ever had' T L S , Books of the Year. Oscar Wilde's life - like his wit - was alive with paradox. He was both an early exponent and a victim of 'celebrity culture': famous for being famous, he was lauded and ridiculed in equal measure. His achievements were frequently downplayed, his successes resented. He had a genius for comedy but strove to write tragedies. He was an unabashed snob who nevertheless delighted in exposing the faults of society. He affected a dandified disdain but was prone to great acts of kindness. Although happily married, he became a passionate lover of men and - at the very peak of his success - brought disaster upon himself. He disparaged authority, yet went to the law to defend his love for Lord Alfred Douglas. Having delighted in fashionable throngs, Wilde died almost alone: barely a dozen people were at his. . . |
Selected DiariesVirginia WoolfTaschenbuchVirginia Woolf turned to her diary as to an intimate friend, to whom she could freely and spontaneously confide her thoughts on public events or the joys and trials of domestic life. Between 1st January 1915 and her death in 1941 she regularly recorded her thoughts with unfailing grace, courage, honesty and wit. The result is one of the greatest diaries in the English language. |

The Invention of Angela Carter: A BiographyEdmund GordonTaschenbuchSelected as a Book of the Year 2016 in The Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph, Guardian, Financial Times, Spectator and Observer. Angela Carter is widely acknowledged as one of the most important and beguiling writers of the last century. Her work stands out for its bawdiness and linguistic zest, its hospitality to the fantastic and the absurd, and its extraordinary inventiveness and range. Her life was as modern and as unconventional as anything in her fiction. Born Angela Olive Stalker in Eastbourne in 1940, her story spans the latter half of the twentieth century. After escaping an oppressive childhood and a difficult early marriage, the success of her first novels enable the freedoms of travel - journeying across America in a Greyhound bus, and then on to Tokyo, where she lived for three transformative years - before settling in London to write her last, great novels, amid the joys of late motherhood and prestigious teaching posts abroad. By the time of her tragic and untimely death at the age of fifty-one, she was firmly established as an iconoclastic writer whose fearlessly original work had reinvigorated the literary landscape and inspired a new generation. This is the story of how Angela Carter invented herself - as a new kind of woman and a new kind of writer - and how she came to write such seductive works as The Bloody Chamber, Nights at the Circus and Wise Children. Edmund Gordon has followed in Carter's footsteps to uncover a life rich in incident and adventure. With unrestricted access to her manuscripts, letters and journals, and informed by dozens of interviews with her friends and family, this major biography offers a definitive portrait of one of our most dazzling writers. |

My Invented Country: A MemoirIsabel AllendeTaschenbuchThe life story of Isabel Allende - one of the world's favourite writers - is as exotic, passionate and inspiring as one of her novels. Just three when her parents divorced, Isabel Allende was raised in her grandparents' home in Chile. She left school at 16; and married Miguel Frias at 19. She then juggled her work as a journalist, editor, advice columnist and television interviewer with looking after her two children. But when her cousin the Chilean president Salvador Allende was assassinated in 1973 in Pinochet's right-wing military coup, her life changed profoundly. It was too dangerous to stay in Chile; and she, her husband, and their two children fled to Venezuela. During her impoverished exile, she started writing ' The House of the Spirits'. Based on her memories of her family and the political upheaval in her native country, it became an international bestseller and everything changed again. . . |
