Auf der sibirischen Bahn nach China
Der deutsche Schriftsteller und Journalist Eugen Zabel ist einer der Begründer der modernen Reiseliteratur. Im Jahre 1903 bereiste er unter anderem mit der transsibirischen Eisenbahn Russland, die Mandschurei und China. Hiervon erzählt er lebendig und packend in diesem 1904 erstmals veröffentlichten Werk, das Land und Leute, fremden Sitten und Gebräuche, aber auch alltägliche Dinge beschreibt. Ein besonders buntes Kapitel widmet Zabel China, das ihm ans Herz gewachsen ist. Heute taucht man bei der Lektüre dieses Buches tief in eine vergangene Zeit ein, die anders kaum noch erlebbar ist.

Hans Von Bülow
Hans von Bülow is a key figure in 19th century music whose career path was as broad as it was successful. Music history's first virtuoso orchestral conductor, Bülow created the model for the profession-both in musical brilliance and in domineering personality-which still holds forth today. He was an eminent and renowned concert pianist, a respected (and often feared) teacher and music critic, an influential editor of works by Bach, Mendelssohn, Chopin, and Beethoven, and a composer in a variety of musical genres. As a student and son-in-law of Franz Liszt, and estranged friend of Richard Wagner (for whom his wife Cosima famously left him), Bülow is intricately connected with the canonical...
An International Annotated Bibliography of Strindberg Studies 1870-2005: The plays
This copiously annotated bibliography documents and examines the whole range of commentary on Strindberg's works and activity in many fields besides the plays for which he is internationally best known. These include his prose fiction and poetry, his work as an historian and natural historian, and his relationship to the other arts, most notably his painting. It is concerned with both lasting works of literary and dramatic criticism, as well as reviews of his books and plays in the theatre, and some more ephemeral material, all of this in several languages. Organised generically and by subject and individual work, the bibliography enables the reader to trace the changing impact of Strindberg...
The Life & Letters of Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky
IN offering to English and American readers this abridged edition of The Life and Letters of Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky, my introduction must of necessity take the form of some justification of my curtailments and excisions. The motives which led to this undertaking, and the reasons for my mode of procedure, may be stated in a few words. In 1900 I published a volume dealing with Tchaikovsky, which was, I believe, the first attempt to embody in book form all the literatureÑscattered through the byways of Russian journalismÑconcerning the composer of the Pathetic Symphony. In the course of a year or twoÑthe book having sold out in England and AmericaÑa proposal was made to me to prepare a new...
