Babylon Or New Jerusalem?
Today more than ever literature and the other arts make use of urban structures - it is in the city that the global and universal joins the local and individual. Babylon or New Jerusalem? Perceptions of the City in Literature draws a map of the concept of the city in literature and represents the major issues involved. Contributions to the volume revisit cities such as the London of Wordsworth, Dorothy Richardson and Virginia Woolf or Rilke's Paris, but also travel to the politics of power in Renaissance theatre at Ferrara and to deliberate urban erasures in post-apartheid South Africa. The texts represented range from Renaissance plays to contemporary novels and to poetry from various perio...
Lot
Met voorwoord van oud-kinderrechter Frans van der Reijt. ‘Daar moet je echt iets mee doen!’ riep de oude Joodse hoogleraar terwijl hij tegenover Jane stond met een opgestoken vinger, wijzend naar haar tasje. Ze stonden voor de universiteitsclub van de Universiteit van Pennsylvania op een kruising in de binnenstad van Philadelphia, na een lunch, die duidelijk zijn vruchten had afgeworpen. Het leek bijna niet te bevatten dat een tot nu toe onbekend, persoonlijk verband in de moderne letterkundige geschiedenis zo makkelijk weggestopt kon worden als een damesartikel in een damestasje.

Why War?
Why has war been such a consistent presence throughout the human past? A leading historian explains, drawing on rich examples and keen insight. Richard Overy is not the first scholar to take up the title question. In 1931, at the request of the League of Nations, Albert Einstein asked Sigmund Freud to collaborate on a short work examining whether there was “a way of delivering mankind from the menace of war.” Published the next year as a pamphlet entitled Why War?, it conveyed Freud’s conclusion that the “death drive” made any deliverance impossible—the psychological impulse to destruction was universal in the animal kingdom. The global wars of the later 1930s and 1940s seemed am...
Disasters of the Deep
The comprehensive reference to peacetime submarine disasters, updated with now-declassified Cold War events, the Kursk tragedy, and more. This is the fully revised and updated edition of the first comprehensive account of every peacetime submarine disaster from 1774 to the twenty-first century tragedy of the Kursk. By examining many of the sinkings in considerable detail, analyzing what went wrong, and describing the attempts made to rescue the crew and the vessel, Edwyn Gray traces the development of the submarine from the earliest experimental submersibles of the late eighteenth century to the nuclear-powered monsters of today. The appendices include the most comprehensive and accurate list of submarine disasters ever printed, in the compilation of which the author has had the cooperation of the US, French, Italian, Danish, and Japanese navies, as well as the RN Submarine Museum and the German U-Boat Archive. “An invaluable reference book for naval historians and also a most fascinating read for the layman.” —Journal of Military and Veterans’ Health Published in a previous edition as Few Survived
