Elisabeth Wagner: the Stowed Space
The Stowed Space reproduces a series of sculptures that German artist Elizabeth Wagner (born 1954) has been working on since 2000. Using materials like cardboard, plaster, bubble wrap and wire, she creates portrait works based on famous paintings. The finely nuanced modeling of these pieces belies the crudeness of the media that composes them.
A Life with Colour
A Life with Colour is the first complete survey of Gerard Wagner’s biography and his artistic intentions, featuring dozens of illustrations and more than 120 colour plates. The life and work of Gerard Wagner (1906-1999) were closely aligned to the artistic-spiritual stream connected with the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland. He first heard of the Goetheanum – and of its destruction by fire at New Year 1922/23 – whilst still a youth. In 1926, he made his first visit to Dornach, but his intended stay of a week turned into a lifelong sojourn of over 73 years. He found there an active, striving community with which he felt intimately connected. From the start, Gerard Wagner immersed hims...
Elisabeth Wagner - Im Sprung
Im Sprung ("Jumping") is a temporary state that changes when covering the distance from A to B in an in between. Nothing is permanent.The artist Elisabeth Wagner creates nothing for eternity, mostly of her objects are made of paper and cardboard and so the classic media of sculpture opposes their model. Her works accentuate the ephemeral in lasting simplicity. In this way Wagner devotes herself to the general major themes of her medium: the portrait, the monument, the fold as well as the special simplicity of form and object: pine cones, hangers, dogs, pearls or Bearskin. The publication Im Sprung also shows especially the artistic work process by Elisabeth Wagner and opens up a comprehensive insight into her work: sculpture, installation and work in public spaces and their cosmos of reference. The works shown, which spanned a period between 1979 and 2018, are added their models and inspirations visually, that illustrate their points of reference in art history.

Forever Faithful
This is the third in a series of genealogical studies of German families that emigrated to the Kingdom of Hungary in the early 18th century and settled in Somogy County. Kötcse is the oldest of the three major German Lutheran parishes that evolved and numerous families from Kötcse were instrumental in the establishment of the other two. The family histories of those who settled in the parish of Somogydöröcske are included in the volume: Dörnberg: In the Shadow of the Josefsberg; and those from the parish of Ecsény in From Toleration to Expulsion that both preceded this publication. In addition to the genealogical information the author provides the historical context and other information vital to an understanding of the lifestyle, traditions and ultimate destiny of their sojourn in Hungary and beyond.
Nietzsche, God, and the Jews

The first part of the book is concerned with psychological aspects and biographical elements. Part Two focuses on the ethical and political aspects of Nietzsche's views as presented in his mature writings: Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Toward the Genealogy of Morals, and the Antichrist.

I Thought I Would Forget
I Thought I Would Forget. . . . . . what I experienced between the ages of three and eleven. Those years comprised five years of World War Two and three more years in Poland afterwards. These memories have stayed with me all my life. Here I describe the fate my family and I suffered, a fate shared by millions of others. Yet each family has its own particular experiences. First there were the good days in Duesseldorf and the escape from the bombing raids to Poland. Then there were the events resulting from our being overrun by Russian soldiers. A large part of my story recalls the three years I spent with a Polish farm family. Finally there is the odyssey of my happy return to Germany.
Germany, Hitler, and World War II
Reflecting on the greatest war in human history, one cannot help but think about the terrible conflict as a whole, its leaders, its peoples, and the puzzles still open about its conduct. Leaders on both sides realised that at stake from the very beginning was a complete restructuring of the world order. More than a conflict of imperial aggression, World War II was about who would live and command the globe's resources and which peoples would disappear entirely because they were believed to be inferior or undesirable by the victor. This collection of special studies in twentieth-century German and world history illuminates the nature of the Nazi system and its impact on Germany and the world. Bringing together essays now widely scattered and several never previously published in English, this volume examines the Holocaust, the connections between the European and Pacific theatres of war, as well as the effects, leaders, and research problems of World War II. By examining the effects of World War II, its leaders, its problems, and the Holocaust, this volume provides an illuminating study of the nature of the Nazi system and its impact on Germany and the world.
Disobeying Hitler
'A chilling look at Nazi Germany in collapse' Globe and Mail 'Excellent' Evening Standard | 'Fascinating' Ben Macintyre Raze Paris to the ground. Burn the bridges. Destroy all industry. These were just a few of the insane orders issued by Hitler in the closing months of the Second World War, as the Allies made their unstoppable advance on Germany. Had it not been for the determination and bravery of a few Germans – officers and ordinary civilians – who disobeyed Hiter, Europe might have been a scorched ruin. Many paid with their lives. Might Rommel have opened the Western Front to the Allies on 20 July 1944 had he not been shot at a few days earlier? Did Albert Speer single-handedly prevent the destruction of bridges, factories and towns? Did a Prussian general save Paris? In this compelling book, distinguished historian Randall Hansen explores the extraordinary phenomenon of disobedience-as-resistance and its effect on both the war and its aftermath. A gripping account of German resistance to Hitler’s tyranny in the last year of World War Two, in its 80th anniversary year.
