In Praise of Nonsense
Ludwig Tieck's 1797 rewriting of Charles Perrault's famous Bluebeard tale (1697) explicitly claims to be an "arabesque" book "without any sense and coherence." The author's close reading of this capricious narrative, based on Kant's theory of what it means to produce nonsense, reveals a specifically Romantic type of nonsense.
The Dolomites and their legends
The Dolomites, a range of mountains in the Southern Alps, are widely celebrated for their bizarre rock formations, light colour hues, and pristine nature. It is no coincidence that UNESCO declared the Pale Mountains a World Heritage Site and that, every single year, they attract tourists and nature enthusiasts from all around the globe. This enchanting mountain landscape, which is oftentimes cool and forbidding, has left an indelible mark on its inhabitants. Their veritable treasure trove of myths, legends and mystery stories is an integral part of the rich cultural heritage of the Dolomites: the older generation has always passed down this heritage to a wide-eyed audience comprised of both the young and the young-at-heart. This compilation by Karl Felix Wolff (1879-1966), probably the most prominent regional writer-explorer of legends, contains well-known tales like "King Laurin and the Alp-Glow" and "The Kingdom of the Fanes" in addition to lesser known stories such as "The Nightingale of the Sasslong", "Iron Hand" and "Merisana's Wedding". This book is a unique collection on your perspective of the Dolomites.
Storia della letteratura tedesca. 3. Il Novecento
Una storia della letteratura, agile ed attuale, pensata per il pubblico italiano, che considera il fenomeno letterario nel contesto degli eventi politici e sociali dei paesi di lingua tedesca. Giuliano Baioni Questo volume, dal 1914 alla riunificazione della Germania, illustra i destini della cultura tedesca all'ombra dei complessi avvenimenti della sua storia. Dopo gli orrori del Terzo Reich, la cultura si trovò di fronte alla prova più ardua: riscattare l'immensa eredità culturale tedesca dalle colpe e dall'infamia della dittatura nazista e riabilitare la nazione come parte di un'Europa democratica e civile.

Storia della letteratura tedesca. 2. Dal Settecento alla prima guerra mondiale
Una storia della letteratura, agile ed attuale, pensata per il pubblico italiano, che considera il fenomeno letterario nel contesto degli eventi politici e sociali dei paesi di lingua tedesca. Giuliano Baioni Questo volume, dal Settecento al 1914, prende in esame il processo del lento divenire dello Stato nazionale tedesco, conclusosi nel 1870-71 con la fondazione del Secondo Reich guglielmino, e il successivo periodo che vede presenti nel mondo tedesco due imperi: la Germania appena nata e il plurisecolare impero asburgico, che tramonterà con la prima guerra mondiale.
