]]> <![CDATA[Warum ich niemals für mein Land kämpfen würde. Gegen die Kriegstüchtigkeit]]> 220484606 Ein starkes Plädoyer gegen den Kriegseinsatz �� fern von naiver Friedensbewegtheit und weltfremdem Pazifismus.

Die Verteidigungsfähigkeit wird zur «Kriegstüchtigkeit» umerklärt, die Bundeswehr mit 100 Milliarden Euro aufgerüstet, die Wiedereinführung der Wehrpflicht Die Zeichen stehen auf Mobilmachung, auch mental. Die Nation wird dabei zur großen Solidargemeinschaft verklärt, der ein jeder glücklich zu dienen hat. Und das nach Jahrzehnten der Entsolidarisierung, in denen die Verarmung breiter Bevölkerungsschichten von neoliberalen Politikern für alternativlos erklärt wurde.
Ole Nymoen erhebt Die Behauptung, das Sicherheitsinteresse eines Staates falle notwendig mit dem seiner Untertanen zusammen, erscheint geradezu absurd. Immerhin sind es junge Männer wie er, die im Kriegsfall gezwungen sind, im Land zu bleiben und ihr Leben zu riskieren, ob sie wollen oder nicht. Ganz zu schweigen davon, dass der «Dienst an der Waffe» auch beinhaltet, mit dieser Waffe andere zu töten. Und wer bestimmt eigentlich über den «Waffengang»? Ist es wirklich der demos, das Volk?
Nicht kämpfen zu wollen für einen Staat, das ist vor diesem Hintergrund mehr als nur eine individuelle Verweigerung �� nämlich ein Akt der Humanität und des Protests für mehr kollektive Selbstbestimmung.]]> 122 Ole Nymoen 3644023972 lucii 0 to-read 4.43 Warum ich niemals für mein Land kämpfen würde.

]]> <![CDATA[Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves]]> 216970860 From Atlantic critic and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sophie Gilbert, a blazing critique of how early-aughts pop culture turned women and girls against each other—and themselves—with disastrous consequences

When did feminism lose its way? This question feels increasingly urgent in a moment of reactionary cultural and legislative backlash, when widespread uncertainty about the movement’s power, focus, and currency threatens decades of progress.

Sophie Gilbert, a staff writer at The Atlantic and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in criticism, provides one answer, identifying an inflection point in the late 1990s and early 2000s when the energy of third-wave and “riot girl�� feminism collapsed into a regressive period of hyper-objectification, sexualization, and infantilization. Gilbert mines the darker side of nostalgia, training her keen analytic eye on the most revealing cultural objects of the era, across music, film, television, fashion, tabloid journalism, and more. And what she recounts is harrowing, from the unattainable aesthetic of Victoria’s Secret ads and explicit music videos to a burgeoning internet culture vicious towards women in the spotlight and damaging for those who weren’t. Gilbert tracks many of the period’s dominant themes back to the explosion of internet porn, tracing its widespread influence as it began to pervade our collective consciousness.

Gilbert paints a devastating picture of an era when a distinctly American confluence of excess, materialism, and power-worship collided with the culture’s reactionary, puritanical, and chauvinistic currents. Amid a collective reconsideration of the way women are treated in public, Girl on Girl is a blistering indictment of the matrix of misogyny that undergirded the cultural production of the early twenty-first century, and how it continues to shape our world today.]]> 352 Sophie Gilbert 0593656296 lucii 0 to-read 4.27 Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves

]]> <![CDATA[Und ich werde dich nie wieder Papa nennen: Von der Tochter von Gisèle Pelicot]]> 221732887 Die Scham muss die Seite wechseln

Ein Prozess, der die Welt erschüttert. Eine Mutter, die als Ikone gefeiert wird. Ein Vater, den man als Monster bezeichnet. Eine Tochter, die ums Überleben kämpft. Weil sie Teil eines Verbrechens ist, in dem ihre Eltern Opfer und Täter sind. Das ist ihre Geschichte.

Caroline Darian, Tochter von Gisèle und Dominique Pelicot, erhält am 2. November 2020 einen Anruf von der Polizei. Ihr Vater wurde verhaftet. Seit 2013 hat Pelicot seine Frau heimlich mit chemischen Substanzen betäubt, um sie im bewusstlosen Zustand zu vergewaltigen und knapp 100 fremden Männern zuzuführen. Auch von Caroline gibt es verhängnisvolle Fotos. Sie kann sich ebenso wenig erinnern wie ihre Mutter an die unzähligen Vergewaltigungen.

Mit außergewöhnlichem Mut erzählt Caroline Darian von dem Sturz ins Bodenlose. Tagebuchartig beschreibt sie, wie das Ausmaß des Jahrhundertverbrechens ihre Familie zerstört. Wie sie ihre Mutter beschützen will und zugleich mit Angstzuständen kämpft. Wie aus dem geliebten Vater ein brutaler Vergewaltiger wurde. Wie sie ihrem Sohn erklärt, dass er keinen Großvater mehr hat. Caroline versucht zu begreifen, wie es zum Unvorstellbaren kommen konnte.

Dieses Buch ist eine Liebeserklärung der Tochter an die Mutter, die es geschafft hat, ihren Stolz und ihre Lebenskraft in den widrigsten Momenten zu bewahren. Damit die Schande sich gegen die Täter richtet, damit die Gesetzeslage sich ändert. Mutter und Tochter haben das private Trauma in einen gemeinsamen Kampf verwandelt. Sie werden weltweit als Heldinnen gefeiert.]]> 196 Caroline Darian 3462313800 lucii 0 to-read 4.60 2022 Und ich werde dich nie wieder Papa nennen: Von der Tochter von Gisèle Pelicot

]]> The Secret Garden 59425860
The plot centers round Mary Lennox, a young English girl who returns to England from India, having suffered the immense trauma by losing both her parents in a cholera epidemic. However, her memories of her parents are not pleasant, as they were a selfish, neglectful and pleasure-seeking couple. Mary is given to the care of her uncle Archibald Craven, whom she has never met. She travels to his home, Misselthwaite Manor located in the gloomy Yorkshire, a vast change from the sunny and warm climate she was used to. When she arrives, she is a rude, stubborn and given to stormy temper tantrums. However, her nature undergoes a gradual transformation when she learns of the tragedies that have befallen her strict and disciplinarian uncle whom she earlier feared and despised. Once when he's away from home, Mary discovers a charming walled garden which is always kept locked. The mystery deepens when she hears sounds of sobbing from somewhere within her uncle's vast mansion. The kindly servants ignore her queries or pretend they haven't heard, spiking Mary's curiosity.

The Secret Garden appeals to both young and old alike. It has wonderful elements of mystery, spirituality, charming characters and an authentic rendering of childhood emotions and experiences. Commonsense, truth and kindness, compassion and a belief in the essential goodness of human beings lie at the heart of this unforgettable story. It is the best known of Frances Hodgson Burnett's works, though most of us have definitely heard of, if not read, her other novel Little Lord Fauntleroy.

The book has been adapted extensively on stage, film and television and translated into all the world's major languages. In 1991, a Japanese anime version was launched for television in Japan. It remains a popular and beloved story of a child's journey into maturity, and a must-read for every child, parent, teacher and anyone who would enjoy this fascinating glimpse of childhood. One of the most delightful and enduring classics of children's literature, The Secret Garden by Victorian author Frances Hodgson Burnett has remained a firm favorite with children the world over ever since it made its first appearance. Initially published as a serial story in 1910 in The American Magazine, it was brought out in novel form in 1911."

]]> Un homme accidentel 2649029
Derrière le cliché d une existence bien rangée, ou celui des paillettes et du glamour, se cachent la vulnérabilité et la solitude de deux êtres. Aucun n'avait prévu l'attirance violente qui les pousse soudain l'un vers l'autre. Comment ces deux hommes, icônes d'une certaine Amérique et symboles de la virilité, vont-ils faire face à l'inédit ? Et combien de temps un amour, même absolu, peut-il se maintenir en marge de la morale et des lois ?

Tantôt roman noir, tantôt road movie, cet hommage aux films hollywoodiens est aussi le récit d'une ville mythique, Los Angeles, où l'omniprésente lumière californienne irradie tout, des rues aux villas de stars, en passant par les motels de Venice Beach et les rivages du Pacifique. Cette lumière vengeresse semble n'avoir qu'un seul but : révéler le mensonge des apparences, confronter les êtres à leurs secrets enfouis et à leur vérité nue.]]> 252 Philippe Besson 226001741X lucii 0 to-read 3.66 2008 Un homme accidentel

This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding.

]]> Martyr! 139400713 Kaveh Akbar’s Martyr! is a paean to how we spend our lives seeking meaning—in faith, art, ourselves, others—in which a newly sober, orphaned son of Iranian immigrants, guided by the voices of artists, poets, and kings, embarks on a search that leads him to a terminally ill painter living out her final days in the Brooklyn Museum.

Cyrus Shams is a young man grappling with an inheritance of violence and loss: his mother’s plane was shot down over the skies of Tehran in a senseless accident; and his father’s life in America was circumscribed by his work killing chickens at a factory farm in the Midwest. Cyrus is a drunk, an addict, and a poet, whose obsession with martyrs leads him to examine the mysteries of his past—toward an uncle who rode through Iranian battlefields dressed as the Angel of death to inspire and comfort the dying, and toward his mother, through a painting discovered in a Brooklyn art gallery that suggests she may not have been who or what she seemed.

Electrifying, funny, wholly original, and profound, Martyr! heralds the arrival of a blazing and essential new voice in contemporary fiction.]]> 331 Kaveh Akbar 0593537610 lucii 0 to-read 4.22 2024 Martyr!

]]> Pimp State 32937891 Never before have prostitution, strip clubs and pornography been as profitable, widely used or embedded in mainstream culture as they are today. How society should respond to the rise of the sex trade is shaping up to be one of the Twenty-First Century's big questions. Should it be legal to pay for sex? Isn't it a woman's choice whether she strips for money? Could online porn warping the attitudes of a generation of boys?

An increasingly popular set of answers maintains that prostitution is just work, porn is fantasy, demand is inevitable; so fully legalise the sex trade and it can be made safe. Kat Banyard contends that these are profoundly dangerous myths. Sexual consent is not a commodity, objectification and abuse are inherent to prostitution, and the sex trade poses a grave threat to the struggle for women's equality.

Skilfully weaving together first-hand investigation, interviews and the latest research, Pimp State powerfully argues that sex trade myth-makers will find themselves on the wrong side of history.

]]> <![CDATA[Extreme Cinema: The Transgressive Rhetoric of Today's Art Film Culture]]> 27163178
From Shortbus to Shame and from Oldboy to Irreversible, film festival premieres regularly make international headlines for their shockingly graphic depictions of sex and violence. Film critics and scholars alike often regard these movies as the work of visionary auteurs, hailing directors like Michael Haneke and Lars von Trier as heirs to a tradition of transgressive art. In this provocative new book, Mattias Frey offers a very different perspective on these films, exposing how they are also calculated products, designed to achieve global notoriety in a competitive marketplace. Paying close attention to the discourses employed by film critics, distributors, and filmmakers themselves, Extreme Cinema examines the various tightropes that must be walked when selling transgressive art films to discerning audiences, distinguishing them from generic horror, pornography, and Hollywood product while simultaneously hyping their salacious content. Deftly tracing the links between the local and the global, Frey also shows how the directors and distributors of extreme art house fare from both Europe and East Asia have significant incentives to exaggerate the exotic elements that would differentiate them from Anglo-American product.
Extreme Cinema also includes original interviews with the programmers of several leading international film festivals and with niche distributors and exhibitors, giving readers a revealing look at how these institutions enjoy a symbiotic relationship with the “taboo-breakers�� of art house cinema. Frey also demonstrates how these apparently transgressive films actually operate within a strict set of codes and conventions, carefully calibrated to perpetuate a media industry that fuels itself on provocation. ��ձ�> 298 Mattias Frey 0813576490 lucii 0 to-read, master-topic 0.0 2016 Extreme Cinema: The Transgressive Rhetoric of Today's Art Film Culture

]]> Die Sprache des Kapitalismus 200089271
Preise steigen nicht von alleine. Es gibt jemanden, der sie erhöht. Das zu verstehen, ist entscheidend. Sprache schafft Realitäten und festigt Machtstrukturen. Das gilt nicht nur für Diskriminierungsformen wie Rassismus oder Sexismus, sondern auch für unser Wirtschaftssystem, den Kapitalismus. Wenn Ökonomen, Unternehmen und die Politik Finanzkrisen als Tsunamis und Stürme bezeichnen, suggerieren sie ihre und unsere Machtlosigkeit. Es gibt aber Akteure im kapitalistischen System und es gibt Möglichkeiten, auf andere Weise über Geld und Wirtschaft zu sprechen und davon zu erzählen.

Anhand von zahlreichen Metaphern und Sprachbildern, einschlägigen Beispielen aus Film und Literatur sowie den Selbsterzählungen von Unternehmern wie Steve Jobs oder Elon Musk analysieren Simon Sahner und Daniel Stähr die Sprache des Kapitalismus und seine Geschichten. Was steckt hinter Begriffen wie »Rettungsschirm«, »Gratismentalität« und »too big to fail«? Wieso erfreut sich die Figur des »Unternehmergenies« so großer Beliebtheit? Und: Wie können wir neue Narrative schaffen, um uns aus der scheinbaren kapitalistischen Alternativlosigkeit zu befreien und Veränderungsmöglichkeiten aufzuzeigen?]]> 264 Simon Sahner 310491933X lucii 0 to-read 3.67 2024 Die Sprache des Kapitalismus

]]> Reiche Mädchen 17559820 Eigentlich könnte Franziska glücklich sein. Sie ist jung, hübsch und hat eine funktionierende Beziehung. Doch in ihr tun sich Abgründe auf. Eine obsessive ›amour fou�� zerreißt ihre Welt, willenlos, wie ein Opfertier, wartet sie täglich auf den verheirateten Simon. Sie rechnet permanent mit seinen Überraschungsbesuchen, schmückt die Wohnung wie für einen Gottesdienst, plündert Feinkostabteilungen, kauft Blumen und Whiskey, als gelte es das Überleben in einem Bunker für mehrere Wochen zu sichern. Die Liebe zu Simon erweist sich als masochistische Fiktion, Franziskas Leben als Kriegsgebiet. Immer wieder schlagen Silke Scheuermanns Geschichten, wie in KRIEG ODER FRIEDEN, ins Unheimliche um, verstricken sich ihre Helden in der unsichtbaren Falle einer als ungenügend empfundenen Existenz.

Silke Scheuermann ist eine der bedeutenden Lyrikerinnen der Gegenwart, ihr Umgang mit Sprache ein Leseerlebnis. Mit den Erzählungen REICHE MÄDCHEN legt sie ihr erwartetes Prosadebut vor, poetisch und akzentuiert wie ihre Lyrik. Ironisch, lakonisch, amüsant und messerscharf zeichnet sie das Bild einer Generation, die sich nach dem Gewöhnlichen sehnt und doch so viel mehr als das Gewöhnliche will.]]> 164 Silke Scheuermann 3895613703 lucii 0 to-read 0.0 2005 Reiche Mädchen

Lisa M. trifft Mirko im Studium. Sie verlieben sich, streiten kaum. Dann wird sie schwanger, sie ziehen zu seiner Mutter, haben bald drei Kinder. Eine Familie wie im Bilderbuch, wäre da nicht seine Wut. Anfangs muss Lisa die Hämatome noch verstecken, mit der Zeit wird er zielsicherer. Sie versucht zu fliehen, doch vergeblich.
Christina Clemm ist Strafverteidigerin, sie hat hunderte Opfer geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt vertreten. Und sie ist wütend �� weil in Deutschland jeden dritten Tag eine Frau von ihrem (Ex-)Partner umgebracht wird. Weil Frauen beim Arzt, in der Arbeit und auf offener Straße Gewalt erleben und niemand etwas dagegen tut. Warum nicht? Ist es Unkenntnis, Hilflosigkeit, Desinteresse? Oder liegt dem Ganzen ein tief verwurzelter Frauenhass zugrunde?

Opal spends all that sweet summer collecting stories about her new friends and thinking about her mother. But because of Winn-Dixie or perhaps because she has grown, Opal learns to let go, just a little, and that friendship—and forgiveness—can sneak up on you like a sudden summer storm.

Kate DiCamillo's beloved, best-selling debut novel is now available in a paperback digest edition.

Kate DiCamillo's first published novel, like Winn-Dixie himself, immediately proved to be a keeper—a New York Times bestseller, a Newbery Honor winner, the inspiration for a popular film, and most especially, a cherished classic that touches the hearts of readers of all ages. It's now available in a paperback digest format certain to bring this tale's magic to an even wider circle of fans.]]> 182 Kate DiCamillo 0763616052 lucii 0 4.09 2000 Because of Winn-Dixie

]]> Am Beispiel des Hummers 10165781
Jedes Jahr findet im amerikanischen Bundesstaat Maine das Maine Lobster Festival statt, bei dem innerhalb von vier Tagen mehr als 9.000 kg frischer Hummer verspeist werden, gekocht im größten Topf der Welt. David Foster Wallace besuchte 2003 dieses Festival, um im Auftrag der Feinschmeckerzeitschrift Gourmet eine Reportage zu schreiben. Wie schon bei Schrecklich amüsant , der Beschreibung einer Kreuzfahrt, sind seine Beobachtungen so überraschend wie scharfsinnig.

Die Wahl der Maine Seegöttin, ein Kochwettbewerb, ein Captain Blackbeard, der die Gäste am Strand erschreckt, eine große Parade und viele kleine Attraktionen für die Kinder �� das ist das Rahmenprogramm, das um das große Fresszelt in Rockland, einem kleinen Ort in Maine, Anfang August geboten wird. Das Wichtigste Hier gibt es Hummer satt, der im größten Hummerkochtopf der Welt vor den Augen der hungrigen Besucher seinem Siedepunkt entgegenkocht.

David Foster Wallace geht dem Unbehagen beim Anblick der kochenden und vielleicht leidenden Hummer nach und stellt die Frage, ob der Hummer, der ganz offensichtlich versucht, dem heißen Wer zu entkommen, nicht doch Schmerz empfindet, allen Beteuerungen der Festivalorganisatoren zum Trotz.]]> 63 David Foster Wallace 3462041266 lucii 4 4.01 2005 Am Beispiel des Hummers

1. So it is that to know the nature of a people, one need be a Prince; to know the nature of a Prince, one need to be of the people.
2. If a Prince is not given to vices that make him hated, it is unsusal for his subjects to show their affection for him.
3. Opportunity made Moses, Cyrus, Romulus, Theseus, and others; their virtue domi-nated the opportunity, making their homelands noble and happy. Armed prophets win; the disarmed lose.
4. Without faith and religion, man achieves power but not glory.
5. Prominent citizens want to command and oppress; the populace only wants to be free of oppression.
6. A Prince needs a friendly populace; otherwise in diversity there is no hope.
7. A Prince, who rules as a man of valor, avoids disasters,
8. Nations based on mercenary forces will never be solid or secure.
9. Mercenaries are dangerous because of their cowardice
10. There are two ways to fight: one with laws, the other with force. The first is rightly man’s way; the second, the way of beasts.]]> 144 Niccolò Machiavelli 0937832383 lucii 0 studies 3.85 1513 The Prince

As the boom years of the mid-80s unfold, Nick becomes caught up in the Feddens' world, while also pursuing his own private obsession, with beauty - a prize as compelling to him as power and riches are to his friends. An early affair with a young black council worker gives him his first experience of romance; but it is a later affair, with a beautiful millionaire, that brings into question the larger fantasies of a ruthless decade.

]]> Our Evenings 209576781 Did I have a grievance? Most of us, without looking far, could find something that had harmed us, and oppressed us, and unfairly held us back. I tried not to dwell on it, thought it healthier not to, though I’d lived my short life so far in a chaos of privilege and prejudice.

Dave Win is thirteen years old when he first goes to stay with the Hadlows, the sponsors of his scholarship at a local boarding school where their son Giles is his contemporary. For Dave this weekend, with its games and challenges and surprising encounters, will open up heady new possibilities, even as it exposes him to Giles’s envy and violence. As Our Evenings unfolds over half a century, the two boys�� careers will diverge dramatically, Dave a gifted actor struggling with convention and discrimination, Giles an increasingly powerful and dangerous politician.

Our Evenings is Dave Win’s own account of his life as a schoolboy and student, his first love affairs, in London, and on the road with an experimental theatre company, and of a late-life affair, which transforms his sixties with a new sense of happiness and a perilous security; but it is also, very movingly, the story of his hard-working widowed mother, whose own life takes an unexpected new turn after her son leaves home.

Both dark and luminous, poignant and wickedly funny, Alan Hollinghurst’s new novel gives us a portrait of modern England through the lens of one man’s acutely observed and often unnerving experience. It is a story of race and class, theatre and sexuality, love and the cruel shock of violence, from the finest writer of our age.]]> 487 Alan Hollinghurst 1447208234 lucii 0 to-read 3.99 2024 Our Evenings

Juno schreibt online mit Männern, die Frauen online ihre Liebe gestehen und so versuchen, sie um ihr Geld zu bringen. Doch statt darauf hereinzufallen, werden genau diese Männer zu einer Form von Freiheit für Juno. In den Gesprächen kann sie sein, wer sie will und sagen, was sie will �� und das vermeintlich ohne Konsequenzen. Ganz im Gegensatz zu ihrem sonstigen Leben, in dem sie immer unterwegs, immer besorgt um Jupiter, immer beschäftigt und eingebunden ist. Also flüchtet Juno ab und zu vor ihrem Alltag ins Internet und spielt dort Spielchen mit Männern, die sie anlügen. Sie selbst wird zur Lügnerin. Aber ist es nicht so, dass man sich beim Lügen zuallererst selbst belügt? Eines Tages trifft Juno auf Benu, der ihre Behauptungen ebenso durchschaut wie sie seine. Und trotz der Entfernung zwischen ihnen entsteht eine Verbindung. »Hey guten Morgen, wie geht es dir« ist ein tiefgehender Roman, aber so leichtfüßig wie eine Komödie.]]> 224 Martina Hefter 3608988262 lucii 0 to-read 3.43 2024

“Athena’s Shield is as meticulously detailed, accurate, and colorful as a Roman wall-painting." --- Richard P. Martin, Professor of Classics, Stanford University

"A real page-turner!" --- Judith Rose

I sat in my usual spot, my back against the sun-warmed wall of the women’s entrance to the public bathhouse. A sign above my head, scrawled in blood-red paint,

Spartacus The Thracian
Vs
Ferox The Giant

Two Men Will Enter the Arena.
One Man Will Leave.
Place your bets now!

My heart pounded painfully in my chest, as if I alone were facing the deadly Ferox, unarmed and helpless. Ever since I could remember, I had felt this raw terror, each time I saw my Pater’s name emblazoned on a Spartacus the Thracian. I had turned twelve a few weeks earlier but felt no different now than I did when I was five and first learned to read his name.

. . . . Above the entrance, an announcement in black and yellow

Death by Devourment!
Heraclio the Numidian
Versus
A Ravenous Lion
Don’t Miss It!

Before escaping and being recaptured, Heraclio had been Doctore —coach and trainer at the Batiatus Gladiator Academy. My pater revered him as a Mentor and I loved him like an uncle. I had rejoiced when I learned of his escape a week earlier and was devastated by the announcement that he had been captured and sentenced to being eaten alive by a hungry lion. . . . .

]]> Espartaco 30174843 Espartaco no es una novela para los más exquisitos, aunque los de muy delicado temperamento se sentirán avasallados, sometidos a las infinitas bellezas descriptivas, de concepto y de forma, que la obra encierra. Es una novela hecha para las gentes de gran corazón capaces de vibrar por un ideal, aptas para una ilimitada capacidad de entusiasmo, para las personas generosas, predispuestas al sacrificio. Espartaco nos llena de admirativo entusiasmo. Giovagnoli fue un formidable artista, un literato de cuerpo entero, pero toda su bondad y todo su arte los pone al servicio de lo que en el lenguaje de su siglo, el XIX, se llamaba “la causa sacrosanta de la libertad��. Para la humanidad actual ha caído en desuso esta expresión. Ya nada es sacrosanto en el mundo desde que la guerra modificó la moral imperante hasta julio de 1914; pero quienquiera que lea esta obra de Raffaello Giovagnoli se sentirá atraído por la formidable figura de Espartaco, ante el que sentimos la misma atracción que pudiera infundirles un maestro a sus discípulos. Los lectores todos se sentirán conmovidos en numerosos pasajes de la obra. La portentosa hazaña del buen rudiario al vencer en el Circo Máximo a sus admirados y circunstanciales rivales nos impresiona como si del bloque marmóreo surgiera la obra perfecta al conjuro de un mágico Miguel Ángel.

]]> <![CDATA[Demokratie. Die perfekte Form bürgerlicher Herrschaft]]> 206290519
Weniger amtlich betrachten Politiker wie Wähler diese Veranstaltung ohne solche Ehrerbietung. Demokratische Politiker nehmen Wahlen nüchtern als Bedingung und Gelegenheit, auf Kosten der Konkurrenten an die Macht zu gelangen. Und mündige Bürger haben Wahlen längst als Schwindel durchschaut. Wählen gehen sie selbstbewusst ohne Illusionen, damit etwas zu ‚bewirken�� oder zu ‚verändern��.

Sowohl die hohe Meinung über die hehren Grundsätze demokratischer Machtausübung wie auch das abschätzige Urteil über die praktische Betätigung des Volkswillens übergehen allerdings, was das Institut der freien Wahlen tatsächlich leistet: Mit den Wahlkreuzen legitimiert sich immerhin eine Herrschaft, die sich auf ihre Unabhängigkeit von ihrer Basis �� vom ‚Druck der Straße�� viel zugute hält und von ihrer Freiheit regen Gebrauch macht. Und auch wenn es aufgeklärten Zeitgenossen ‚letztlich doch egal�� ist, von wem sie regiert werden; egal sollte es ihnen nicht sein, dass sie von ihrer demokratisch gewählten Herrschaft alle Lebensbedingungen serviert bekommen, mit denen sie praktisch zurechtkommen müssen.]]> 268 Peter Decker 396221030X lucii 0 to-read 5.00 2013 Demokratie.

Israeli soldiers capture and rape a young Palestinian woman, and kill and bury her in the sand. Many years later, a woman in Ramallah becomes fascinated to the point of obsession with this ‘minor detail�� of history. A haunting meditation on war, violence and memory, Minor Detail cuts to the heart of the Palestinian experience of dispossession, life under occupation, and the persistent difficulty of piecing together a narrative in the face of ongoing erasure and disempowerment.]]> 144 Adania Shibli 191309717X lucii 0 to-read 4.26 2017 Minor Detail

]]> A Thousand Ships 42595255 This is the women’s war, just as much as it is the men’s. They have waited long enough for their turn . . .

This was never the story of one woman, or two. It was the story of them all . . .

In the middle of the night, a woman wakes to find her beloved city engulfed in flames. Ten seemingly endless years of conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans are over. Troy has fallen.

From the Trojan women whose fates now lie in the hands of the Greeks, to the Amazon princess who fought Achilles on their behalf, to Penelope awaiting the return of Odysseus, to the three goddesses whose feud started it all, these are the stories of the women whose lives, loves, and rivalries were forever altered by this long and tragic war.

A woman’s epic, powerfully imbued with new life, A Thousand Ships puts the women, girls and goddesses at the center of the Western world’s great tale ever told.]]> 348 Natalie Haynes 1509836195 lucii 0 to-read 4.14 2019

]]> Cosmopolis 41122797
The booming times of market optimism—when the culture boiled with money and corporations seemed more vital and influential than governments—are poised to crash. Eric Packer, a billionaire asset manager at age twenty-eight, emerges from his penthouse triplex and settles into his lavishly customized white stretch limousine.

Today he is a man with two missions: to pursue a cataclysmic bet against the yen and to get a haircut across town. Stalled in traffic by a presidential motorcade, a music idol's funeral, and a violent political demonstration, Eric receives a string of visitors—experts on security, technology, currency, finance, and a few sexual partners—as the limo sputters toward an increasingly uncertain future.

Cosmopolis, Don DeLillo's thirteenth novel, is both intimate and global, a vivid and moving account of the spectacular downfall of one man, and of an era.]]> 188 Don DeLillo lucii 5 wow 3.38 2003

]]> Speak 9817161 I am Outcast.

The kids behind me laugh so loud I know they’re laughing about me. I can’t help myself. I turn around. It’s Rachel, surrounded by a bunch of kids wearing clothes that most definitely did not come from the EastSide Mall. Rachel Bruin, my ex-best friend. She stares at something above my left ear. Words climb up my throat. This was the girl who suffered through Brownies with me, who taught me how to swim, who understood about my parents, who didn’t make fun of my bedroom. If there is anyone in the entire galaxy I am dying to tell what really happened, it’s Rachel. My throat burns.

Her eyes meet mine for a second. “I hate you,�� she mouths silently.

Melinda Sordino’s freshman year is off to a horrible start. She busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops, and now her friends—and even strangers—all hate her. Months pass and things aren’t getting better. She’s a pariah. The lowest of the low. Avoided by everyone. But eventually, she’ll reveal what happened at the party. And when she finally speaks the truth, everything will change.

]]> Thus Spoke Zarathustra 51893 Thus Spoke Zarathustra is translated from the German by R.J. Hollingdale in Penguin Classics.

Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary and subversive thinkers in Western philosophy, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra remains his most famous and influential work. It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Superman, the human embodiment of divinity, is his successor. Nietzsche's utterance 'God is dead', his insistence that the meaning of life is to be found in purely human terms, and his doctrine of the Superman and the will to power were all later seized upon and unrecognisably twisted by, among others, Nazi intellectuals. With blazing intensity and poetic brilliance, Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission to authority, but in an all-powerful life passionate, chaotic and free.]]> 327 Friedrich Nietzsche lucii 0 to-read, own 4.10 1883 Thus Spoke Zarathustra
