Stefan Heym

Stefan Heym

Peter Hutchinson

Cambridge University Press
2006
pokkari
Stefan Heym's uncompromising stance made him unpopular with a succession of political regimes. The Nazis, the CIA and the East German secret police all held files on him. He was Hitler's youngest literary exile; McCarthyism was to drive him from the USA; and even in what appeared his natural home - the first socialist state on German soil - he was to become the country's leading dissident. By continuing to compose in both English and German, however, he maintained an international reputation, and has been translated into over twenty languages. This study traces Heym's career principally by reference to his novels, journalism, and political essays, from his earliest works. All his novels are analysed, the major ones in depth, and English translations of all German quotations are provided. Peter Hutchinson focuses particularly on Heym's battles against Stalinism and censorship, and the way in which his courageous defiance of a repressive regime inspired others and paved the way for the 'new' eastern literature of the eighties.

Stefansson and the Canadian Arctic

Stefansson and the Canadian Arctic

Richard J. Diubaldo

McGill-Queen's University Press
1999

Stefansson's contributions to arctic exploration are immense. He discovered some of the world's last major land masses in the Arctic and his hydrographic soundings outlined, for the first time, the continental shelf from Alaska to Prince Patrick Island and revealed the submarine mountains and valleys beneath the Beaufort Sea. While in the Arctic he lived with the Inuit, learning their habits and language, and kept a detailed record of early Inuit society. However, some of Stefansson's deeds, and the motives behind them, garnered less acclaim. In one instance Stefansson was accused of abandoning ship just before the ship was crushed in the ice, a heinous act for the leader of an expedition. On another occasion, following a disastrous expedition to Wrangel Island during which great numbers of the party died, Stefansson was accused of deliberately misleading members of the expedition and lying about the perils that faced them. The affair caused Canada to become embroiled with the United States and the Soviet Union, and many argued that Stefansson was more concerned with personal fame and financial gain than people's lives. Was Stefansson a prophet or a profiteer, a victim or a villain? Stefansson and the Canadian Arctic reveals the truth about this fascinating personality.

Stefan Lorant

Scarecrow Press
2005
sidottu
Hungarian-born Stefan Lorant's work as a visual and literary editor allowed him to pioneer and develop the genré of picture-based journalism at a period that saw the emergence of modern mass communications. Lorant became a guiding force on an international scale, disseminating his ideas and political knowledge throughout Europe in the late-twenties and thirties by working in Hungary, Germany, and England. His innovative layouts, his "exclusive" interviews and his thirst for knowledge became a familiar part of millions of everyday lives, largely through the pages of his own creations and in particular the legendary Picture Post. Eventually his sphere of influence spread to America where he introduced the concept of the pictorial biography. His vision of photography as a documentary medium inspired Life and Look magazines and paved the way for the eventual emergence of the television documentary. For this he has become recognized as "the godfather" of photojournalism. Lorant's work enlightened the world - yet his own world was shrouded with darkness. His secret past, hidden throughout his lifetime, reveals the changing attitude of sexual politics as it evolved throughout the century. His serial womanizing and scandalous love affairs provide insight into the unhappy alliance between his sexual fulfillment and intellectual frustration, his searching in others for what he could not find within himself. Michael Hallett first interviewed Stefan Lorant in late 1990 and spent the following years researching and interviewing his subject. Hallett examines Lorant's public image, his huge ego, his manipulative nature, and his devious love of subterfuge and confusion. Hallett also reveals Lorant's warmth, his generosity, his callousness, his passions and his extraordinary humanity. This biography encompasses the 20th century, while focusing on the emergence of modern mass communications throughout Europe and the United States. Additionally there is a small but key section that highlights Lorant's pl

Stefan Stambolov and the Emergence of Modern Bulgaria, 1870-1895

Stefan Stambolov and the Emergence of Modern Bulgaria, 1870-1895

Duncan M. Perry

Duke University Press
1993
sidottu
Little known in the United States but increasingly important in the affairs of southeastern Europe, Bulgaria is a land with a stormy history. No less stormy is the story of Stefan Stambolov, who ruled the country during some of its most turbulent years. Duncan M. Perry's biography of Stambolov, the first in English in the twentieth century, illuminates the life, motives, and personality of this major figure.Perry begins with Bulgaria in the tumultuous years immediately following its founding in 1878. After the ousting of the country's first prince, Stambolov enters the stage as the fiery young lawyer who restored him to the throne. Although the prince promptly abdicated, Stambolov stepped into the breach and led the nation during the interregnum. Perry traces this patriotic politician's transformation into an authoritarian prime minister. He shows how Stambolov stabilized the Bulgarian economy and brought relative security to the land-but not without cost to himself and his regime. Perry depicts a man whose promotion of Bulgaria's independence exacted its price in individual rights, a ruler whose assassination in 1895 was the cause of both rejoicing and sorrow.Stambolov thus emerges from these pages as a complex historical figure, an authoritarian ruler who protected his country's liberty at the cost of the people's freedom and whose dictatorial policies set Bulgaria upon a course of stability and modernization. An afterword compares the Bulgarian liberation era of Stambolov with the communist-era dictator, Todor Zhikov, analyzing similarities and differences.

Stefan Sagmeister - the Happy Film Pitch Book

Stefan Sagmeister - the Happy Film Pitch Book

University of Pennsylvania,Institute of Contemporary Art
2013
nidottu
Austrian-born, New York-based graphic designer, typographer and artist Stefan Sagmeister (born 1962) often tests and transgresses the boundary between art and design, through his imaginative implementation of typography. "The Happy Film Pitch Book" both documents Sagmeister's touring exhibition, "The Happy Show," and anticipates his ongoing feature length film, "The Happy Film." In both projects, Sagmeister undergoes a series of self-experiments (each experiment lasting three months)--with meditation, cognitive therapy, and mood-altering pharmaceuticals--attempting to improve his personal happiness. I am usually rather bored with definitions," Sagmeister says. "Happiness, however, is just such a big subject that it might be worth a try to pin it down." "The Happy Show," Sagmeister's first museum show in the United States, documents his adventures in video, print, infographics, sculpture and interactive installations, most of which were custom-made for this exhibition. Here, Sagmeister offers his own witty and poignant thoughts and reasons for his ten-year exploration of happiness. Throughout the book, Sagmeister's trademark maxims serve as access points to a larger exploration of happiness, its cultural significance, our constant pursuit of it and its notoriously ephemeral nature.

Skeletal Songs is a collection of 43 poems mixed with chills and laughter ranging from hungry grandmothers to boogeymen beneath the bleachers. You'll experience the rare emotional moments of laughing and screaming at the same time. Simply horribly adorable. Warning: these are a collection of poems in the horror genre that may create opposite emotions at the same time. You may feel the urge to laugh and scream simultaneously on some of the poems. While there are a few dark humored poems, some in this collection seek to capture the emotions and psyche of a normal person in supernatural situations. Some are haunting tales such as "Tale of Waccamaw Lake. Some of the poetry is about lost love, fear of our inner natures, turning vampire, and becoming werewolves. Many of these reflect our society today such as "A Howl, A Howl, Howl". The poems were written from various locations such as from a room in the Stanley Hotel that inspired Stephen King to write the Shining. Several were written at the Waldorf Hotel in New York during the Horror Writers of American gathering of the greatest horror writers of our generation. Tale of Waccamaw Lake was written from the shores of Lake Waccamaw. Each have been published and for the first time gathered into one collection by Stefan Duncan who is publishing horror and fantasy books.

His Sharing Is Caring Book: Inside The Mind Of A Former Oil Trader, In Conversation With Stefan Thong (What You Talk? Talking East & Talking West)

His Sharing Is Caring Book is written while I was in imprisonment (dark night of the soul). In a way it is imprisonment, not physically but emotionally. I realized that it is my duty to give back after having lived through a relatively rich and colourful life although a challenging one so far. I felt responsible to answer to the questions posted by friends and more so to answer my calling to share it with a bigger audience. The effective and systematic way of doing this is through writing a book. This book is a tale of two halves. The first half is relating my business experiences and the second half is some rather unconventional (my) way of expressing life. They are my reflections and introspections based on real life experiences. Hence unique, one off and not based on some fictional made up stories which can be written and rewritten into many other books. Through writing this book, I discovered that God has a sacred gift in all of us and in whatever location we possibly find ourselves stuck in. You too can readily reach out for your gifts. Stay tuned for more, if you like my sharing.
