Hitler Was My Friend
“Here’s Adolf Hitler in a series of bizarre photographs which he kept hidden from the world . . . They have now been published in this memoir.”—Daily Express Heinrich Hoffman was a key part in the making of the Hitler legend, the photographer who carefully crafted the image of the Fuhrer as a godlike figure. Hoffmann published his first book of photographs in 1919, following his work as an official photographer for the German army. In 1920 he joined the Nazi Party, and his association with Hitler began. He became Hitler’s official photographer and traveled with him extensively. He took over two million photographs of Hitler, and they were distributed widely, including on postage st...
With Hitler in the West
From the Führer’s photographer and author of Hitler Was My Friend, “very rare images that provide a crisp record of the German advance into France” (Firetrench). In May 1940, the German Army swept over Europe, unleashing a campaign of battles of annihilation on a hitherto unheralded scale. France was quickly overcome and Holland, along with Belgium, fell in a matter of days. At the head of this vast operation was the Führer with his Supreme Command, and on hand to document the highlights of their inimitable campaign was Heinrich Hoffmann, Hitler’s close friend and official photographer. This is an invaluable photographic record of the events of Spring 1940, originally published a...

Dances of the Self in Heinrich von Kleist, E.T.A. Hoffmann and Heinrich Heine
Lucia Ruprecht's study is the first monograph in English to analyse the relationship between nineteenth-century German literature and theatrical dance. Combining cultural history with close readings of major texts by Heinrich von Kleist, E.T.A. Hoffmann and Heinrich Heine, the author brings to light little-known German resources on dance to address the theoretical implications of examining the interdiscursive and intermedial relations between the three authors' literary works, aesthetic reflections on dance, and dance of the period. In doing so, she not only shows how dancing and writing relate to one another but reveals the characteristics that make each mode of expression distinct unto its...
Slovenly Betsy
Heinrich Hoffmann's 'Slovenly Betsy' is a children's book that showcases the consequences of bad behavior through a series of cautionary tales. Written in a whimsical and engaging style, the book uses humor and vivid illustrations to deliver important moral lessons to young readers. Originally published in 1845, 'Slovenly Betsy' reflects the literary trends of the time, which often incorporated moral instruction into children's literature. The stories in the book are both entertaining and thought-provoking, making it a valuable resource for parents and educators seeking to teach children about the importance of good manners and behavior. Heinrich Hoffmann, a German psychiatrist and author, drew inspiration from his work with children to create 'Slovenly Betsy'. His deep understanding of child psychology and his desire to promote moral values in young readers are evident in the charming and engaging tales found within the book. I highly recommend 'Slovenly Betsy' to anyone looking for a delightful and educational read that is sure to captivate children and adults alike.
Sticks and Stones
Have children ever really had a literature of their own? In Sticks and Stones, Jack Zipes explores children's literature, from the grissly moralism of Slovenly Peter to the hugely successful Harry Potter books, and argues that despite common assumptions about children's books, our investment in children is paradoxically curtailing their freedom and creativity. Sticks and Stones is a forthright and engaging book by someone who cares deeply about what and how children read.
