A Cultural History of the Modern Age Vol. 3
Volume three of A Cultural History of the Modern Age finishes a journey that begins with Descartes in the first volume and ends with Freud and the psychoanalytical movement in the third volume. Friedell describes the contents of these books as a series of performances, starting with the birth of the man of the Modern Age, followed by flowering of this epoch, and concludes with the death of the Modern Age. This huge landscape provides an intertwining of the material and the cultural, the civil and the military, from the high points of creative flowering in Europe to death and emptiness. The themes convey multiple messages: romanticism and liberalism opens the cultural scene, encased in a move...

But won't the Order, at least, be well disposed toward Nikko? Or is a very bad surprise waiting for him? *** 175,000 copies sold *** Brand new translation of Germany’s successful independent fantasy series A moment later, the raft had calmed itself again, and several tree trunks floating free between the two halves made it clear that the ropes holding them together had given way. Nikko, still pale with shock, was on the front half with one of the raftmen, with the rest of the group just behind them on the other half. “Oh, wonderful,” moaned the raftman with Nikko as he poled their half of the raft toward the closest shore, where he lashed it tightly to a tree. The men on the back half of the raft did the same. “What sort of shoddy vessel have you got us on here!?” complained Danuwil loudly. “Are you out of your minds?” Null Papier Verlag www.null-papier.de

The Warlock of Hymal - Book II: The Fall of Hocatin
Back to Hymal, back to the orcs! And everything ends in disaster again, of course. Could Danuwil really be dead? At least Nikko is able to free a prisoner from the orcs' clutches. But who is he? Back home again, everything is even worse. Khondharr marches against Hocatin, and the people of the landgraviate have no choice but to flee. But where can anyone feel safe in a world filled with danger? Besides, Nikko still has a very specific goal of his own, and he can't let himself be distracted from it … *** 175,000 copies sold *** Brand new translation of Germany’s successful independent fantasy series Nikko ran to the prisoners and found, to his relief, that two of them still lived. They were hurt, certainly, but not dead. But at the sight of the shattered head of the third prisoner, a bloody mass swelling from his fracture skull, Nikko could only turn aside and vomit. When he'd recovered, he slid the envoy's dagger from its sheath on his belt and set to work cutting the prisoners' bonds. “Let me do that,” the nobleman said, gasping for air. He had just dispatched the last of the orcs. “Your small blade will take forever.” Null Papier Verlag www.null-papier.de
Amerika
Der Roman schildert die Erlebnisse des jungen Karl Roßmann in den USA. Er wird von seinen Eltern nach New York geschickt, da er von einem Dienstmädchen "verführt" wurde und dieses geschwängert hat. Karl muss sich in einem fremden Land allein zurechtfinden. Getreu Kafkas Lieblingsthema ist sein Protagonist auch hier Geschicken ausgesetzt, die scheinbar nur vom Zufall bestimmt sind. Karl driftet wie ein Verstoßener von Ort zu Ort und wird von allen Menschen enttäuscht. Der Amerikanische Traum einer erfolgreichen Auswanderung wird zu einem Albtraum der permanenten Entfremdung. "Amerika oder Der Verschollene" ist neben "Das Schloß" und "Der Prozeß" einer der drei unvollendeten Romane von Franz Kafka, entstanden zwischen 1911 und 1914. Null Papier Verlag

The Rhetoric of Topics and Forms
The fourth volume of the collected papers of the ICLA congress “The Many Languages of Comparative Literature” includes articles that study thematic and formal elements of literary texts. Although the question of prioritizing either the level of content or that of form has often provoked controversies, most contributions here treat them as internally connected. While theoretical considerations inform many of the readings, the main interest of most articles can be described as rhetorical (in the widest sense) – given that the ancient discipline of rhetoric did not only include the study of rhetorical figures and tropes such as metaphor, irony, or satire, but also that of topoi, which wer...
The Just Men of Cordova
The Just Men of Cordova focuses on the adventures and exploits of the 'Four Just Men'—a group dedicated to fighting injustice, often using methods outside the law. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Europe, the novel combines elements of mystery, suspense, and moral dilemma. The Just Men, while operating outside the traditional bounds of the law, maintain a strong moral code and seek to ensure justice is served in cases where the legal system fails. The book, like others in the series, is known for its fast-paced narrative and intricate plotting, reflecting the social and political atmosphere of the time. Wallace's works were hugely popular in their day and continue to be read for their historical interest and engaging storytelling.
