In den WarenkorbFlexibound. Zustand: Fine. ,(Curating) From A to Z" offers a summary of the development of curatorial practice over the last two decades seen through the eyes of curator Jens Hoffmann. In this publication each letter of the alphabet evokes a particular word related to the world of exhibition making: From A (as in Artist) and B (as in Biennial) to R (as in Retrospective) and W (as in White Cube). Employing a diarist style, the curator presents his personal curatorial alphabet with a similar transparency and the same idiosyncratic character revealed in many of his exhibitions. The entries are not only stimulating and intellectually rigorous, but also emotionally engaging. Jens Hoffmann (b. 1974 in San Jose, Costa Rica) is a writer, exhibition maker, and educator. He currently is Deputy Director of The Jewish Museum, New York. He has published widely in journals and museum publications and has written over 200 texts on art and exhibition making over the last 15 years. His most recent books include ,The Studio" (2012), as well as ,Show Time: A History of Exhibitions" (2014). He is the founder and editor of ,The Exhibitionist: Journal on Exhibition Making." Most recently he co-curated the 9th Shanghai Biennial (2012/13) and the 12th Istanbul Biennial (2011). Second edition.

In den WarenkorbZustand: Sehr gut. 440 p., many ill. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed jacket and binding, overally very good and clean. / Leicht beriebener Umschlag und Einband, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - This pictorial documentation is the life's work of Nachum Tim Gidal. In his quest for the history of his people, he combines the objective realism of the photographic reporter with personal commitment. For this is also his own history. Through pictures and commentary Gidal gives an account of Jewish culture and of the German Jews. He himself was a Jew from the Munich of Karl Valentin - on friendly terms with the famous satirist, and speaking the same Munich dialect - and a Jew whose forebears had come from Lithuania and who never disowned his Eastern Jewish origins. He joined the Zionist youth movement at an early age. Other formative influences were Munich and the southern Bavarian landscape, German and Yiddish folk-songs, poets such as Jizchak Leib Perez and Stefan George, and the religious philosophers Martin Buber and Gershom Scholem. In assembling this pictorial record of the lives of German Jews, he is also revisiting a Germany that - like German Jewry itself - disappeared in the Hitler era. In these pictures Gidal shows us a forgotten German-Jewish past: the beginnings of Jewish life in Germany, and the flowering of Jewish culture which took place in the Middle Ages despite all the persecutions; the lives of rich Jews and poor Jews; the ever-resurgent hopes of the coming of the Messiah; the festivals and feast-days; the struggle for equal civil rights; the contribution made by Jews to German culture. German and Jewish elements, however distinct in themselves, are almost inextricably mingled. So dearly did these people love their German homeland that many risked their lives for it - notably the Jews from Eastern Europe, whose Yiddish speech kept alive the medieval German of their ancestors, and for whom Germany was the land of Kant, Schiller and Goethe. And this despite the fact that being a Jew could still give rise, directly or indirectly, to insults and humiliations - even in times of supposed equality. Gidal conceals nothing and glosses over nothing. His book therefore signals hope for the future, since honesty, mutual knowledge, and acceptance of otherness are the essential basis for humane coexistence, not least between different peoples and religious communities. - Professor Nachum Tim Gidal was bom in 1909 in Munich and died in 1996 in Jerusalem. After studying history, art history, and political economy at the universities of Munich, Berlin, and Basle he became a photographic reporter, one of the great pioneers of modern photo-journalism. "Photoreportage and the Press" was the subject of his doctoral thesis. He worked for, amongst others, the Münchner lllustrierte Presse (1929-1933), the London Picture Post (1938-1940), and New York's Life magazine. From 1955 to 1958 he lectured at the New School for Social Research in New York on the history and sociology of visual communication, and from 1971 onwards he taught at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In 1980 he was awarded the Israel Museum's Kavlin Prize, and in 1983 the Erich Salomon Prize of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Fotografie. Gidal was a member of the Royal Photographic Society in London, and a corresponding member of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Fotografie.

In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Very Good. Winner of the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography: the story of the mystifying relationship between the brilliant and affable Gertrude Stein and her brooding companion, Alice B. Toklas "Janet Malcolm deftly captures Alice B. Toklas's legendary 40-year partnership with the brilliant modernist Gertrude Stein in Two Lives, clearing up a few mysteries along the wayincluding how two Jewish women were able to survive World War II in their provincial French chateau with the help of a Vichy collaborator."Vogue "Shrewd, humane, and beautifully written." John Gross,Wall Street Journal "How had the pair of elderly Jewish lesbians survived the Nazis? Janet Malcolm asks at the beginning of this extraordinary work of literary biography and investigative journalism. The pair, of course, is Gertrude Stein, the modernist master whose charm was as conspicuous as her fatness and thin, plain, tense, sour Alice B. Toklas, the worker bee who ministered to Steins needs throughout their forty-year expatriate marriage. As Malcolm pursues the truth of the couples charmed life in a village in Vichy France, her subject becomes the larger question of biographical truth. The instability of human knowledge is one of our few certainties, she writes. The portrait of the legendary couple that emerges from this work is unexpectedly charged. The two world wars Stein and Toklas lived through together are paralleled by the private war that went on between them. This war, as Malcolm learned, sometimes flared into bitter combat. Two Lives is also a work of literary criticism. Even the most hermetic of [Steins] writings are works of submerged autobiography, Malcolm writes. The key of 'I' will not unlock the door to their meaningyou need a crowbar for thatbut will sometimes admit you to a kind of anteroom of suggestion. Whether unpacking the accessible Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, in which Stein solves the koan of autobiography, or wrestling with The Making of Americans, a masterwork of magisterial disorder, Malcolm is stunningly perceptive. Praise for the author: [Janet Malcolm] is among the most intellectually provocative of authors . . .able to turn epiphanies of perception into explosions of insight.David Lehman, Boston Globe Not since Virginia Woolf has anyone thought so trenchantly about the strange art of biography.Christopher Benfey. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Philosopher, physician and master of rabbinical literature, Moses ben Maimon (1135-1204) strove to reconcile biblical revelation with medieval Aristotelianism. His writings, especially the celebrated Guide for the Perplexed, exercised considerable influence on both Jewish and Christian scholasticism and brought him lasting renown as one of the greatest medieval thinkers. -- The present volume contains his most significant ethical works, newly translated from the original sources by Profs. Raymond L. Weiss and Charles E. Butterworth, well-known Maimonides scholars. Previous translations have often been inadequate either because they were not based on the best possible texts or from a lack of precision. That deficiency has been remedied in the present text; the translations are based on the latest scholarship and have been made with a view toward maximum accuracy and readability. Moreover, the long "Letter to Joseph" has been translated into English for the first time. -- The present edition includes the following selections: -- I. Laws Concerning Character Traits (complete) -- II. Eight Chapters (complete) -- III. On the Management of Health -- IV. Letter to Joseph -- V. Guide of the perplexed -- VI. Treatise on the Art of Logic -- VIL The Days of the Messiah -- Taken as a whole, this collection presents a comprehensive and revealing overview of Maimonides' thought regarding the relationship of revelation and reason in the sphere of ethics. Here are his teachings concerning "natural law," secular versus religious authority, the goals of moral conduct, diseases of the soul, the application of logic to ethical matters, and the messianic era. Throughout, the great sage is concerned to reconcile the apparent divergence between biblical teachings and Greek philosophy. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

In den WarenkorbOriginal brochure. Zustand: Gut. 192 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Condition: Minimally rubbed binding, otherwise in perfect condition. / Zustand: Minimal beriebener Einband, ansonsten im einwandfreien Zustand. - Content: The essays collected in this volume, which were written from 1981 to 1993, propose a double set of continuities for the understanding of modem Hebrew literature: first, between the modem literature and the very long literary tradition that preceded it, and then between the literature of contemporary Israel and the century and a half of varied literary activity in Hebrew on European soil that antedated the creation of a Hebrew vernacular culture in Palestine. There are obviously crucial distinctions to be made between these two respective later phases of the literature and the antecedents on which they drew, as I try to explain, but the continuing relevance of the antecedents needs to be kept in mind. During the period when these essays were written, increasing attention has been devoted in America by readers and critics to Israeli literature, which has become abundantly available in English translation. This attention is partly justified by intrinsic literary worth-the Israeli novel, for example, seems to have entered a "boom" phase vaguely reminiscent of the Latin American novel a couple of decades ago and is partly the consequence of the disproportionate fascination of Americans, especially Jewish Americans, with Israel. But the interest in Israeli literature, not only in America but in France, Italy, and elsewhere, is accompanied by certain misperceptions about its character. Few readers outside Israel are aware of the vigorous presence of a modem Hebrew literature in Europe before the dawn of Zionism that made both Zionism and the Hebrew culture of Israel possible. And since translations, even deft ones, tend to regularize and flatten the knotty distinctiveness of the original texts, the linguistic vitality and stylistic peculiarities of the Hebrew remain invisible to readers of English versions. Hebrew literature today is not merely a Colombian or Peruvian literature written in the Middle East in a Semitic language, but has its own abiding oddness, its own distinctive cultural problematic. What I have tried to do here is to highlight those elements of distinctiveness, in part by rendering an account of modem Hebrew literature as an evolving tradition from the eighteenth century to the present. These essays were written for various occasions, but in sorting them out, I was happy to discover that the contours of a large historical picture began to emerge from them. Thus, I start with a piece that seeks to explain the fascinating anomalies of modem Hebrew literature from its inception to the present. There follow discussions of the relation of secular poetry in modem Hebrew to the millennia-old tradition of Hebrew verse; of the evolution of a viable language for realistic fiction in Hebrew; of relatively early experiments in Hebrew introspective writing and prose fiction in Europe and America; of the development of the Israeli novel through the first four decades of statehood; and of the response to the Holocaust in Hebrew poetry. The last four essays are considerations of individual writers, one of Yehuda Amichai, the leading Israeli poet, and three involving S. Y. Agnon, the major modem Hebrew novelist. Four of these essays were originally published in Commentary, and single essays first appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Tel-Aviv Review, Prooftexts, and in a volume called The Legacy of Jewish Migration, and I thank the editors of all those publications for their willingness to let me use the material here. The essay on Agnon's Shira was originally the afterword to the English translation of that novel, and I am grateful to Schocken Books for allowing me to reprint the piece. The inclusion of one item needs special explanation. In 1988, shortly before the appearance of my short book, The Invention of Hebrew Prose, I prepared for Commentary an article on the subject, about half of which was drawn from the introduction of the book, with the other half a kind of summary of the book's argument. I wanted to include it in the present volume because it fills in an important area of the big literary-historical picture and thus contributes to making this a book with a core of coherent argument instead of merely an assemblage of miscellaneous essays. I also must say that The Invention of Hebrew Prose seems to have reached very few readers beyond the handful of specialists in the field, so there is some justification for making available here a précis of its attempt to trace the history of modem Hebrew style. My thanks to the Washington University Press for permission to use material from the introduction to Invention in the essay in this volume. Finally, two essays here appear in print for the first time - the lead essay and the piece on Agnon's psychological realism. Secretarial and research expenses for this book were provided by funds from the Class of 1937 Chair at the University of California at Berkeley. Janet Livingstone, as always, prepared the typescript with scrupulous care, bravely contending against the disorder of my own crowded scrawl. I have stubbornly kept my own counsel in the interpretations and general overviews proposed here, but I owe a continuing debt of gratitude to the astute and devoted students of Hebrew literature I have been privileged to teach at Berkeley, and to my gifted colleague in Hebrew and Comparative Literature, Chana Kronfeld.

For more than a century, archeologists have been unearthing the tombs, temples, texts, and artifacts of the ancient Near East and the Mediterranean world. Using new approaches, contemporary scholars have begun to synthesize this material with the biblical traditions. The Oxford History of the Biblical World incorporates the best of this scholarship, and in chronologically ordered chapters presents the reader with a readable and integrated study of the history, art, architecture, languages, literatures, and religion of biblical Israel and early Judaism and Christianity in their larger cultural contexts. The authors also examine such issues as the roles of women, the tensions between urban and rural settings, royal and kinship social structures, and official and popular religions of the region. Understanding the biblical world is a vital part of understanding the Bible. Broad, authoritative, and engaging, The Oxford History of the Biblical World will illuminate for any reader the ancient world from which the Bible emerged.

In the spring of 1913 two of the giants of modern science traveled to Zurich. Their mission: to offer the most prestigious position in the very center of European scientific life to a man who had just six years before been a mere patent clerk. Albert Einstein accepted, arriving in Berlin in March 1914 to take up his new post. In December 1932 he left Berlin forever. "Take a good look," he said to his wife as they walked away from their house. "You will never see it again." In between, Einstein's Berlin years capture in microcosm the odyssey of the twentieth century. It is a century that opens with extravagant hopesand climaxes in unparalleled calamity. These are tumultuous times, seen through the life of one man who is at once witness to and architect of his dayand ours. He is present at the events that will shape the journey from the commencement of the Great War to the rumblings of the next one. We begin with the eminent scientist, already widely recognized for his special theory of relativity. His personal life is in turmoil, with his marriage collapsing, an affair under way. Within two years of his arrival in Berlin he makes one of the landmark discoveries of all time: a new theory of gravityand before long is transformed into the first international pop star of science. He flourishes during a war he hates, and serves as an instrument of reconciliation in the early months of the peace; he becomes first a symbol of the hope of reason, then a focus for the rage and madness of the right. And throughout these years Berlin is an equal character, with its astonishing eruption of revolutionary pathways in art and architecture, in music, theater, and literature. It wild street life and sexual excesses are notorious. But with the debacle of the depression and Hitler's growing power, Berlin will be transformed, until by the end of 1932 it is no longer a safe home for Einstein. Once a hero, now vilified not only as the perpetrator of "Jewish physics" but as the preeminent symbol of all that the Nazis loathe, he knows it is time to leave. / CONTENTS Prologue: The Adoration / Chapter One : "Suspicion Against Every Kind of Authority" / Chapter Two : "Consistency and Simplicity" / Chapter Three: "This 'Great Epoch'" / Chapter Fou r: "All the Loathsome Nonsense" / Chapter Five: "Unnecessary Erudition" / Chapter Six : "My Grandest Dreams Have ComeTrue" / Chapter Seven: "Is the Old Jehovah Still Alive?" / Chapter Eight: "I Have Become Far More Tolerant" / Chapter Nine: "Slavery Made to Appear Civilized" / Chapter Ten: "A Negation of Superstition" / Chapter Eleven: "I Prefer to String Along with My Countryman, Jesus Christ" / Chapter Twelve: "Some Kind of High-Placed Red" / Chapter Thirteen: "A State of Mind Akin to That of a Lover / Chapter Fourteen: "St. Francis Einstein" / Chapter Fifteen: "Grow[ing] Angry with My Fellow Men" / Chapter Sixteen: "That Business About Causality" / Chapter Seventeen: "A Reich German" / Chapter Eighteen: "A Singular Tension" / Chapter Nineteen: "I, at Any Rate, Am Convinced" / Chapter Twenty: "Our Necessarily Primitive Thinking" / Chapter Twenty-one: "While Wolves Wait Outside" / Chapter Twenty-two: "Who Is Mary Pickford?" / Chapter Twenty-three: "A Bird of Passage" / Chapter Twenty-four: "As Long as I Have Any Choice in the Matter" / Notes / Bibliography / Permissions / Acknowledgments / Index.

Chloe Aridjis Why was I reading this book now, in a railway-carriage, beneath a wavering, flickering, electric light-bulb . . Summer, 1867: The newlywed Dostoevsky and his young wife Anna - his one-time secretary - are travelling to the German spa resort of Baden-Baden on honeymoon. Their love is ecstatic, yet the author is plagued by demons: haunted by his crimes and punishments, consumed by fevers of jealousy, gambling to avoid mounting debts and shaken by epileptic fits. Winter, 1970s: Our Jewish narrator embarks on a pilgrimage from Moscow to Leningrad to trace the footsteps of his literary hero. As the train travels across the Soviet Union's bleak expanses, he immerses himself in Anna's travel journal: and their journeys - past and present, real and imagined - soon become entwined. The result of a clandestine literary vocation, Summer in Baden-Baden was smuggled out of the Soviet Union in 1981 and first published in a Russian emigre weekly in the USA. It has since been hailed as a trailblazing modern classic, translated into more than twenty languages - and its hypnotic, enigmatic power only grows. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
