--A Poet Or Nothing at All
Moreover, during those years he devoted himself almost exclusively to the composition of "neo-Romantic" poetry, most notably his Notturni, handwritten sets of eight or more poems which he sold as unique collections. Two dozen of these poems are published here for the first time in the original.

Hermann Hesse Bibliographie
Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) gehört zu den wichtigsten und meistgelesenen deutschen Schriftstellern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Bestimmend im Werk des Nobelpreisträgers ist das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Geist und Leben, Kunst und Wirklichkeit. Seine Romane, u. a. "Peter Camenzind", "Demian", "Das Glasperlenspiel", "Der Steppenwolf" und "Siddharta", sind z. T. stark von der Psychoanalyse und der Lebensphilosophie Nietzsches, aber auch von der östlichen Philosophie und Religion beeinflusst und zeichnen sowohl das Bild einer zerrissenen abendländischen Kultur als auch der Utopie einer neuen, geistigen Lebensform, in der sich die vita activa und die vita contemplativa nicht mehr als Antagonisten ...
Canadian Dreams and American Control
A history of the Canadian film industry from its inception to 1980s, providing a chronological record of the conflicting priorities between American capital, which seeks to shape the Canadian film industry to its own image, and Canada's stated goal, which is to serve the Canadian people with films autonomously conceived, produced, and exhibited.
"Getting History Right"
How do individuals, societies, and nations deal with their difficult pasts? "Getting History Right" examines this question in a comparative context by looking at an authoritarian East Germany and a pluralistic, democratic West Germany. Eschewing a narrow focus on elites, this work draws extensively on societal level discussions of the past in popular culture, such as film, television, radio, and newspapers. It examines how societal level discussions of the past shaped individual perceptions and interpretations of the past; and how individual perceptions and struggles over the meaning of the past shaped societal level discussions. These struggles over meaning and "getting history right" are n...
A Companion to the Works of Hermann Hesse
Today, forty years after Timothy Leary's suggestion that hippies read Hermann Hesse while "turning on," Hesse is once again receiving attention: faced with ubiquitous materialism, war, and ecological disaster, we discover that these problems have found universal expression in the works of this master storyteller. Hesse explores perennial themes, from the simple to the transcendental. Because he knows of the awkwardness of adolescence and the pressures exerted on us to conform, his books hold special appeal for young readers and are taught widely. Yet he is equally relevant for older readers, writing about the torment of a psyche in despair, or our fear of the unknown. All these experiences a...
Reel Women
In the last several decades, the number of films featuring female protagonists has increased significantly. Many of these films reflect the vast cultural and sociological changes that have taken place since the early 1960s, highlighting not only a wide spectrum of female characters depicted onscreen, but the creative work of women behind the camera as well. In Reel Women: An International Directory of Contemporary Feature Films about Women, media librarian Jane Sloan has assembled an impressive list of more than 2400 films—from nearly 100 countries—that feature female protagonists. Each entry includes a brief description of the film and cites key artistic personnel, particularly female d...
