Neurological Disorders in Famous Artists
More on the relationship between brain disease and creativity Neurological Disorders in Famous Artists - Part 2' presents more writers, philosophers, musicians, painters and film directors who developed some form of neurological dysfunction and whose style and output changed following a stroke or other cerebral disorder. Mozart, Baudelaire, de Kooning, Proust, F ssli, Heine, Fellini, Visconti and others are all striking examples of how extraordinary creativity can be challenged and modified or destroyed and restored, all within the drama of a disease. When brain disease challenges the capabilities of artists, the changes that subsequently occur in their work provide a unique opportunity to explore the mysteries of creativity. This may also lead to a better understanding on how certain artists developed, particularly when the course of a disease corresponds with what is generally recognized as a new chapter in their work. This book offers a fascinating read for neurologists, psychiatrists, general physicians and anybody interested in art, literature, music and film.

Leopold Schuhmachers Weg zur Marine – Vom Dänholm zur „Horst Wessel“ (1937)
Was bringt einen jungen Mann dazu, im Jahr 1936 eine Laufbahn als Marineoffizier einzuschlagen? Der 18-jährige Leopold Schuhmacher aus Offenburg (Baden) hat weder Verbindungen zum Militär noch zur See, als er im Januar 1936 seine Bewerbung bei der Marine einreicht. Gunter L. Spraul zeichnet in diesem Band den Lebensweg Schuhmachers auf der Grundlage von Tagebuchaufzeichnungen, Briefen und weiteren Dokumenten nach: von der militärischen Grundausbildung auf dem Dänholm bis zur Ernennung zum Seekadetten auf dem Segelschulschiff „Horst Wessel“ im September 1937. Die zeitgeschichtlichen Dokumente ergänzt der Herausgeber durch Informationen zum historischen Hintergrund und zu den Weggefährten Schuhmachers sowie durch umfangreiches Bildmaterial. So entsteht aus der Dokumentation eines Einzelschicksals das Bild einer Generation, die vom geistig-kulturellen Klima des Nationalsozialismus geprägt ist.

Modernism
In his most ambitious endeavour since Freud, acclaimed cultural historian Peter Gay traces and explores the rise of Modernism in the arts, the cultural movement that heralded and shaped the modern world, dominating western high culture for over a century. He traces the revolutionary path of modernism from its Parisian origins to its emergence as the dominant cultural movement in world capitals such as Berlin and New York, presenting along the way a thrilling pageant of hereitcs that includes Oscar Wilde, Pablo Picasso, James Joyce, Walter Gropius and Any Warhol. The result is a work unique in its breadth and brilliance. Lavishly illustrated, Modernism is a superb achievement by one of our greatest historians.
