Bargfelder Ausgabe. Studienausgabe der Werkgruppe I: Romane, Erzählungen, Gedichte, Juvenilia
»Jeder Schriftsteller sollte die Nessel Wirklichkeit fest anfassen und uns Alles zeigen : die schwarze schmierige Wurzel; den giftgrünen Natternstengel; die prahlende Blume(nbüchse).« So formulierte Arno Schmidt 1953 sein dichterisches Programm. Mit welch unnachgiebigem Griff Schmidt diese Forderung zu erfüllen wusste, bezeugen seine Romane und Erzählungen, mit denen er ab 1949 die öffentliche Bühne betrat.Von seinem Debüt »Leviathan« über »Das steinerne Herz«, dem ersten Roman über das geteilte Deutschland überhaupt, bis zu »Kaff auch Mare Crisium« und den ländlichen Erzählungen des Bandes »Kühe in Halbtrauer«, die den Leser mit den Themen und dem Sprachwitz seines Hauptwerks »Zettel's Traum« vertraut machen: Hier ist Arno Schmidts Erzählkunst von der Kurzgeschichte bis zum Roman in allen Facetten versammelt.- Shop: buecher

The Complete Poems of Philip Larkin (eBook, ePUB)
This entirely new edition brings together all of Philip Larkin's poems. In addition to those in Collected Poems (1988), and in the Early Poems and Juvenilia (2005), some unpublished pieces from Larkin's typescripts and workbooks are included, as well as verse (by turns scurrilous, satirical, affectionate, and sentimental) tucked away in his letters. The manuscript and printed sources have been scrutinized afresh; more detailed accounts than hitherto available of the sources of the text and of dates of composition are provided; and previous accounts of composition dates have been corrected. Variant wordings from Larkin's typescripts and the early printings are recorded.For the first time, the poems are given a comprehensive commentary. This draws critically upon, and substantially extends, the accumulated scholarship on Larkin, and covers closely relevant historical contexts, persons and places, allusions and echoes, and linguistic usage. Due prominence is given to the poet's comments on his poems, which often outline the circumstances that gave rise to a poem, or state what he was trying to achieve. Larkin played down his literariness, but his poetry enrichingly alludes to and echoes the writings of many others; Archie Burnett's commentary establishes him as a more complex and more literary poet than many readers have suspected.- Shop: buecher

Tree and Leaf
Repackaged to feature Tolkien's own painting of the Tree of Amalion, this collection includes his famous essay, 'On Fairy-stories' and the story that exemplifies this, 'Leaf by Niggle', together with the poem 'Mythopoeia' and the verse drama, 'The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth', which tells of the events following the disastrous Battle of Maldon.Fairy-stories are not just for children, as anyone who has read Tolkien will know. In his essay On Fairy-Stories, Tolkien discusses the nature of fairy-tales and fantasy and rescues the genre from those who would relegate it to juvenilia. The haunting short story, Leaf by Niggle, recounts the story of the artist, Niggle, who has 'a long journey to make' and is seen as an allegory of Tolkien's life.The poem Mythopoeia relates an argument between two unforgettable characters as they discuss the making of myths. Lastly, and published for the very first time, we are treated to the translation of Tolkien's account of the Battle of Maldon, known as The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth.Tree and Leaf is an eclectic, amusing, provocative and entertaining collection of works which reveals the diversity of J.R.R. Tolkien's imagination, the depth of his knowledge of English history, and the breadth of his talent as a creator of fantastic fiction.- Shop: buecher

Henry and Eliza (eBook, ePUB)
'Being good People themselves, their first & principal care was to incite in her a Love of Virtue & a Hatred of Vice, in which they so well succeeded (Eliza having a natural turn that way herself) that when she grew up, she was the delight of all who knew her.'That was until Eliza was caught stealing a pound50 note and was thrown out by her benefactors.A classic short story from Austen's "juvenilia", written in her teenage years and originally shared with her family and friends. The perfect insight into the mind of young Austen. Jane Austen (1775-1817) is one of the most beloved British writers of all time. During her short life, she published six novels: ¿Sense and Sensibility¿, ¿Pride and Prejudice¿, ¿Mansfield Park¿, ¿Emmä, ¿Northanger Abbey¿ and ¿Persuasion¿, which are all considered literary classics today. Her writing is full of sharp observations on the society in which she lived, as well as ripe with timeless irony, and a solid dose of humour. She has created immortal characters that have inspired countless authors, novels, and movies such as Bridget Jones and Clueless.The most notable adaptation is Joe Wright's 2005 Pride and Prejudice, starring Keira Knightley (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession).- Shop: buecher

Gyorgy Ligeti (eBook, ePUB)
An illuminating study of the life and work of György Ligeti, one of the best-loved and most original composers of our time.For 50 years György Ligeti has pursued a boldly independent and uncompromising course, yet his music is widely loved and admired. Ever since Stanley Kubrick's (unsanctioned) use of his music on the soundtrack of 2001: A Space Odyssey, interest in Ligeti has extended far beyond the classical domain. He is the only living composer whose complete output, including juvenilia, is being systematically issued on CD.Published to coincide with the composer's eightieth birthday, Richard Steinitz's compelling new book is both an illuminating study of the music and its associative ideas - drawn from literature, theatre, the visual arts, fractal mathematics, ethnic cultures and other maverick composers - and of Ligeti the man. Ligeti has confided in Steinitz a mass of previously unknown biographical information. The result is an astonishing account of his early upbringing in Romania, of his terrifying yet surreal experiences in the war, and of his difficulties attempting to forge an identity as a young composer under repressive censorship in Communist Hungary, before his dramatic escape to the West in 1956.The story continues via Ligeti's association with the Western avant-garde and his increasingly masterful sequence of highly individual compositions, which Steinitz brings vividly to life through informative commentaries as well as through the composer's own words.- Shop: buecher

Edgar & Emma (eBook, ePUB)
"I cannot imagine," said Sir Godfrey to his Lady, "why we continue in such deplorable Lodgings as these, in a paltry Market-town, while we have 3 good houses of our own situated in some of the finest parts of England, and perfectly ready to receive us!"Another classic short story from Austen's "juvenilia", written in her teenage years and originally shared with her family and friends. Quick-witted, fun and full of the satire she would later be famed for, it is the perfect insight into the mind of young AustenAuthor Robert Rodi enjoyed this story so much that he expanded the short piece into a full-length novel in the mature Austen style.Jane Austen (1775-1817) is one of the most beloved British writers of all time.

Jack & Alice (eBook, ePUB)
'When you are more intimately acquainted with my Alice, you will not be surprised, Lucy, to see the dear creature drink a little too much; for such things happen every day. She has many rare and charming qualities, but sobriety is not one of them.'Decidedly strange, illogical and out of the norm, "Jack and Alice" depicts life in Pammydiddle, a pleasant English town with a love of parties, scandal and gossip. The work is full of parody and a pastiche of many literary trends of the time.
