Sie müssen keine Kriegerinnen sein, um zu kämpfen. Aber den Umgang mit Schwert, Dolch und Lanze zu kennen ist überaus nützlich, wenn man sich mit störrischen Nordmännern, vagabundierenden Rittern und schwangeren Drachen herumschlagen muss, die gerade Appetit auf Menschen haben. Allerdings ist das Arsenal der Frauenwaffen nicht auf Eisen und Stahl beschränkt. List, Tücke und diebische Finger gehören ebenso dazu wie Magie, sei sie lodernd heiß oder eisig kalt. Eine Portion Unberechenbarkeit kann auch nicht schaden. Und wenn das alles nicht reicht, kann eine Frau immer noch auf Wissen und Weisheit ihrer Ahninnen zurückgreifen. Falls sie es nicht mit der Universalwaffe aller Menschen zu allen Zeiten probiert: Liebe. Achtzehn Autorinnen und Autoren stellen ihnen in einundzwanzig Fantasy-Geschichten starke Frauen vor, die mit Mut, Magie und mancherlei Waffen um Leben, Freiheit, Stärke und nicht zuletzt um ihre Träume kämpfen.

Simen Agdestein was awarded the title of chess grandmaster at the age of eighteen, the youngest in the world at the time. Two years later he wrote in his diary that he believed he could become the best in the world. But chess wasn't his only passion. He also excelled at football and was selected nine times for the Norwegian national team. Foreign clubs wanted to sign him as a professional. Simen Agdestein's combined careers are unique and amazing. 'I can't choose between my left and my right arm', he once said of the choice between chess and football. His international football career was cut short when he refused to play for Norway in a World Cup qualifier against Scotland. He opted instead...
Nicknamed both “Mobtown” and “Charm City” and located on the border of the North and South, Baltimore is a city of contradictions. From media depictions in The Wire to the real-life trial of police officers for the murder of Freddie Gray, Baltimore has become a quintessential example of a struggling American city. Yet the truth about Baltimore is far more complicated—and more fascinating. To help untangle these apparent paradoxes, the editors of Baltimore Revisited have assembled a collection of over thirty experts from inside and outside academia. Together, they reveal that Baltimore has been ground zero for a slew of neoliberal policies, a place where inequality has increased as ...
The two-volume work Modernism has been awarded the prestigious 2008 MSA Book Prize! Modernism has constituted one of the most prominent fields of literary studies for decades. While it was perhaps temporarily overshadowed by postmodernism, recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in modernism on both sides of the Atlantic. These volumes respond to a need for a collective and multifarious view of literary modernism in various genres, locations, and languages. Asking and responding to a wealth of theoretical, aesthetic, and historical questions, 65 scholars from several countries test the usefulness of the concept of modernism as they probe a variety of contexts, from individual texts to national literatures, from specific critical issues to broad cross-cultural concerns. While the chief emphasis of these volumes is on literary modernism, literature is seen as entering into diverse cultural and social contexts. These range from inter-art conjunctions to philosophical, environmental, urban, and political domains, including issues of race and space, gender and fashion, popular culture and trauma, science and exile, all of which have an urgent bearing on the poetics of modernity.
