Otto is the entertaining and humorous story that spans one man's life from childhood in Germany to adulthood in Australia. Named by his grandfather (referred to as "Opa" in German), Otto conjures up a great deal of trouble and chaos along his journey. Otto's early days seem to be made in heaven--as soon as he is able to talk and walk, his mischievous behavior is both applauded and protected by his grandfather, Opa. Otto's childhood antics include skipping school and lazily relieving himself in a gap between the wall and the bed--instead of going to the toilet. His parents become so frustrated with his behavior that they consider giving him up for adoption, but Opa continues to see only the good in his beloved grandson. It seems Otto could even get away with murder. Will Otto ever be able to take responsibility for his actions, or will his grandfather's loyalty to his grandson stand in the way? Otto's antics will surprise, amuse, and delight you as you follow his never-ending quest to find the greener pasture on the other side of the fence.

Johannes Crotus Rubianus

Thomas Mann nannte den Thüringer Humanisten und Theologen Johannes Crotus Rubianus (1480 bis etwa 1540) einen Mann "von der gebildetesten Friedensliebe". Trotzdem geriet Crotus immer wieder in die geistigen und religiösen Auseinandersetzungen der Zeit. So ergriff er im sogenannten "Reuchlin-Streit" mit seiner genialen Satire der "Dunkelmännerbriefe" Partei für den umkämpften Hebraisten Johannes Reuchlin. 1521 empfing er, der leidenschaftliche Anhänger Martin Luthers, als Rektor der Erfurter Universität den damals bereits gebannten Reformator. In der zweiten Hälfte der zwanziger Jahre diente er in wichtiger Funktion dem preußischen Herzog Albrecht, der das ehemalige Deutschordensgebi...

English summary: In this volume, Jan-Hendryk de Boer investigates the upheaval in the world of scholars in the Roman-German Empire at the end of the fifteenth and beginning of the sixteenth centuries. He shows how during this time hegemonic humanism developed as a new discursive formation. This re-organised the humanistic movement as well as its relationship to scholasticism and ultimately the place of humanism in the scholarly world as a whole. After humanistic ideas were initially taken on board as being relatively unproblematic, the representatives of hegemonic humanism, such as poets, grammarians and philologists, claimed that they alone were in possession of useful skills and relevant k...

Streit als ein Mittel zur Aushandlung von Interessenskonflikten ist eine Konstante menschlicher Gemeinschaft. So verwundert es nicht, dass Streit, beginnend mit Kain und Abel oder dem Zorn des Achill, von den ersten Anfängen an ein fortwährendes Thema der europäischen Kultur ist. Jenseits von Krieg und Gewalt enthält Streit auch kreatives Potenzial, was sich in den verschiedensten Gattungen fiktionaler und non-fiktionaler Literatur offenbart. Hier wird bald Streit im intellektuellen Spiel nach allen Regeln der Kunst in Szene gesetzt, bald wird die Literatur im Kontext religiöser, kultureller und politischer Formierungsprozesse zum Instrument schärfster Auseinandersetzung. Dieser Band ist dem Inszenierungscharakter literarischer Streitkultur und seiner Funktionalisierung in gesellschaftlichen Veränderungsprozessen gewidmet; aus historischer, literatur- und sprachwissenschaftlicher Perspektive werden Beispiele von der Antike bis zur Frühen Neuzeit untersucht.
