Överlevarna : röster från Förintelsen

Överlevarna : röster från Förintelsen

sidottu
Våren 2020 har det gått 75 år sedan andra världskrigets slut och de som kan vittna om Förintelsen blir allt färre. Samtidigt ökar faktaresistensen i vårt samhälle kraftigt. För tre år sedan började journalisten och författaren Bernt Hermele tillsammans med fotografen Cato Lein resa runt för att samla in berättelser från den sista generationen förintelseöverlevare. Resultatet blev den största dokumentationen i Skandinavien av överlevare av Förintelsen och har publicerats i den uppmärksammade podcasten Överlevarna. I samband med Förintelsens minnesdag den 27 januari kommer nu även boken med samma namn där Cato Leins svartvita bilder lyser klart bredvid de starka vittnesmålen och familjebilderna. Överlevarna bygger på 95 berättelser om Förintelsen och är en bok om drömmar och mardrömmar, sammanbrott och livslust. Bernt Hermele är journalist och författare. Cato Lein är en av Sveriges främsta fotografer."en bok som kommer nära människor och ger nya perspektiv. (...) Trots att ingen mänsklig katastrof är mer omskriven än Förintelsen är Hermeles och Leins vackra bok drabbande läsning, som leder till ilska, sorg och engagemang."Ystads Allehanda"...en komplex helhetsbild av ett kaotiskt skeende. (...) Förskräcklig, gripande och framför allt angelägen läsning ur alla aspekter."Svenska Dagbladet"Med en enastående fingertoppskänsla har Bernt Hermele gjort de personliga historierna till avklarnade texter. (...) Skuldkänslan att ha överlevt, när allt ändå var för sent, har förföljt många. Men det finns också kraft och livslust, som Cato Leins varma fotografier fångar. "Expressen"uttryck som "oerhört drabbande" och "väldigt viktig" känns nästan futtiga, lite klyschiga. Detta är berättelser från Förintelseöverlevare, som författaren Bernt Hermele och fotografen Cato Lein har träffat och porträtterat. De har gjort ett beundransvärt arbete."Svenska Dagbladet, Lisa Irenius"Angelägen läsning. Aldrig har ett uttryck passat så bra!"Boktokig"Den största förtjänsten med Bernt Hermeles och Cato Leins bok är att den ger oss röster och bilder som ger oss åtminstone en möjlighet att förstå. Det gör den mer värdefull än dess litterära värde."Borås Tidning"Outhärdlig och omistlig. (..) De 95 rösterna bildar en månghövdad kör som orkestreras av Leins känsliga porträtt."Landskrona Posten"En vacker och levande bok." Vildis bokvrå

Surfing the Quantum World

Surfing the Quantum World

Frank S. Levin

Oxford University Press
2017
sidottu
The ideas and phenomena of the quantum world are strikingly unlike those encountered in our visual world. Surfing the Quantum World shows why and how this is so. It does this via a historical review and a gentle introduction to the fundamental principles of quantum theory, whose core concepts and symbolic representations are used to explain not only "ordinary" microscopic phenomena like the properties of the hydrogen atom and the structure of the Periodic Table of the Elements, but also a variety of mind-bending phenomena. Readers will learn that particles such as electrons and photons can behave like waves, allowing them to be in two places simultaneously, why white dwarf and neutron stars are gigantic quantum objects, how the maximum height of mountains has a quantum basis, and why quantum objects can tunnel through seemingly impenetrable barriers. Included among the various interpretational issues addressed is whether Schrödinger's cat is ever both dead and alive.

The Great Divide

The Great Divide

In the hallowed halls of the capital, some who have sworn to preserve our nation's union are secretly plotting its demise ... and they are willing to kill to achieve their goals. The country has been split into two distinct factions over energy - "the haves" (those states that are fuel self-sufficient) and "the have nots". The inept execution of a flawed foreign policy in the Middle East has resulted in an Arab-backed oil embargo of the United States. Now the country is in the grips of the most severe winter in years, and rationing has led to unrest and rioting in the streets ... and certain politicians and business power brokers are ready to make a move. As masses freeze in Chicago and the northeast, fuel-sufficient sunbelt conspirators seek to separate themselves from the rest of the nation, make their own foreign policy, and govern by their own rules--and to do it they will resort to blackmail, bribery, and even murder. The Constitution is only a stumbling block, and it can be amended. The United States will be united no more.

Geoffrey Chaucer var et skvat og Leonardo da Vinci en overvurderet hegnsmaler. Gamle Franz kan recitere Shakespeare, udlufte bremser og spille en habil sonate på blokfløjte. Det hele bedre end de fleste og på den halve tid. Han kan fortælle 1000 eventyr, endnu flere løgne og er Messias selv, når det kommer til fuldemandskvad. Han kender alle dambrug på denne side af Ejderen, kan rydde et skumdiskotek på en time og skyder fornuftigt med både seksløber, Stinger-missiler og slangebøsse. Så hvis du er i tvivl om, hvad Franz kan gøre for dig, så spørg hellere dig selv, hvad du kan gøre for Franz? Eller hvad vi kan gøre for hinanden? Er du klar, min dreng, til at tage en svingom? Da den 14-årige enspænder, Max, en dag får en kat af sine forældre, ændres hans liv. Franz er nemlig ikke som nogen anden kat, og snart er Max viklet dybt ind i de mystiske og vanvittige ting, der omgiver katten. En situation der rykker ved hans virkelighed og alt, han nogensinde har lært. Inden længe er Max kastet ud i et skørt eventyr, der leger med de mægtigste kræfter i universet, imens han samtidig forsøger at holde styr på alle kattens vanvittige lektioner om livet, om verdensordenen, og om hvordan man bedst spiser grillmad. En ældgammel fejde, farverige fjender og en småpsykotisk storesøster er alle ingredienser i, hvad der hurtigt bliver starten på en historie, verden aldrig har set magen til. Mikkel Wendelboe, f. 1988, uddannet i kommunikation og geografi fra Roskilde Universitet. Arbejder som TV-vært, forfatter, kommentator og journalist.

Franz Joseph Gall

Franz Joseph Gall

Stanley Finger; Paul Eling

Oxford University Press Inc
2019
sidottu
Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828) was always a controversial figure, as was his doctrine, later called phrenology. Although often portrayed as a discredited buffoon, who believed he could assess a person's strengths and weaknesses by measuring cranial bumps, he was, in fact, a serious physician-scientist, who strove to answer timely questions about the mind, brain, and behavior. In many ways a remarkable visionary, his seminal ideas would become tenets of modern behavioral neuroscience. Among other things, he was the first scientist to promote publicly the idea of specialized cortical areas for diverse higher functions, while taking metaphysics out of his new science of mind. Moreover, although he obviously placed too much emphasis on "tell-tale" skull features (mistakenly believing that the cranium faithfully reflects the features of underlying brain areas), he fully understood the strength of "convergent operations," conducting neuroanatomical, developmental, cross-species, gender-comparison, and brain-damage studies on both humans and animals in his attempts to unravel the mysteries of brain organization. Rather than looking upon Gall's "organology" as one of science's great mistakes, this book provides a fresh look at the man and his doctrine. The authors delve into his motives, what was known about the brain during the 1790s, and the cultural demands of his time. Gall is rightfully presented as an early-19th-century biologist, anthropologist, philosopher, and physician with an inquisitive mind and a challenging agenda--namely, how to account for species and individual differences in behavior. In this well-researched book, readers learn why, starting as a young physician in Vienna and continuing his life's work in Paris, he chose to study the mind and the brain, why he employed his various methods, why he relied so heavily on cranial features, and why he wrote what he did in his books. Frequently using Gall's own words, they show his impact in various domains, including his approach to the insane and criminals, before concluding with his final illness and more lasting legacy.

Franz Schubert

Franz Schubert

McKay

Clarendon Press
1997
nidottu
Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was born in Vienna of immigrant parents. During his short life he produced an astonishing amount of music. Symphonies, chamber music, opera, church music, and songs (more than 600 of them) poured forth in profusion. His 'Trout' Quintet, his 'Unfinished' Symphony, the three last piano sonatas, and above all his song cycles Die Schone Mullerin and Winterreise have come to be universally regarded as belonging to the very greatest works of music. Who was the man who composed this amazing succesion of masterpieces, so many of which were either entirely ignored or regarded as failures during his lifetime? In her new biography, Elizabeth Norman McKay paints a vivid portrait of Schubert and his world. She explores his family background, his education and musical upbringing, his friendships, and his brushes and flirtations with the repressive authorities of Church and State. She discusses his experience of the arts, literature and theatre, and his relations with the professional and amateur musical world of his day. Schubert's manic-depressive temperament became of increasing significance in his life, and McKay shows how it was partly responsible for his social inadequacies, professional ineptitude, and idiosyncracies in his music. She examines Schubert's uneven physical decline after he contracted syphilis, traces its affect on his music, his hedonism, and sensuality.

"The Shaping of American Anthropology is a book which is outstanding in many respects. Stocking is probably the leading authority on Franz Boas; he understands Boas's contributions to American anthropology, as well as anthropology in general, very well. . . . He is, in a word, the foremost historian of anthropology in the world today. . . . The reader is both a collection of Boas's papers and a solid 23-page introduction to giving the background and basic assumptions of Boasian anthropology."—David Schneider, University of Chicago "While Stocking has not attempted to present a person biography, nevertheless Boas's personal characteristics emerge not only in his scholarly essays, but perhaps more vividly in his personal correspondence. . . . Stocking is to be commended for collecting this material together in a most interesting and enjoyable reader."—Gustav Thaiss, American Anthropologist

Franz Rosenzweig's Conversions

Franz Rosenzweig's Conversions

Benjamin Pollock

Indiana University Press
2014
sidottu
Franz Rosenzweig's near-conversion to Christianity in the summer of 1913 and his subsequent decision three months later to recommit himself to Judaism is one of the foundational narratives of modern Jewish thought. In this new account of events, Benjamin Pollock suggests that what lay at the heart of Rosenzweig's religious crisis was not a struggle between faith and reason, but skepticism about the world and hope for personal salvation. A close examination of this important time in Rosenzweig's life, the book also sheds light on the full trajectory of his philosophical development.

Franz Kafka

Saul Friedländer

Yale University Press
2016
pokkari
A highly original and engaging appraisal of Kafka’s life, work, legacy, and thought Franz Kafka was the poet of his own disorder. Throughout his life he struggled with a pervasive sense of shame and guilt that left traces in his daily existence—in his many letters, in his extensive diaries, and especially in his fiction. This stimulating book investigates some of the sources of Kafka’s personal anguish and its complex reflections in his imaginary world.In his query, Saul Friedländer probes major aspects of Kafka’s life (family, Judaism, love and sex, writing, illness, and despair) that until now have been skewed by posthumous censorship. Contrary to Kafka’s dying request that all his papers be burned, Max Brod, Kafka’s closest friend and literary executor, edited and published the author’s novels and other works soon after his death in 1924. Friedländer shows that, when reinserted in Kafka’s letters and diaries, deleted segments lift the mask of “sainthood” frequently attached to the writer and thus restore previously hidden aspects of his individuality.

Oliver Hilmes

An engrossing new biography of Franz Liszt, the musical revolutionary who became the world’s first international megastar"Makes a significant contribution to our knowledge of Liszt as a man and superstar. Hilmes shines a light into the shadows behind a life lived in the spotlight."—Andrew Taylor, Times Hungarian composer Franz Liszt (1811–1886) was an anomaly. A virtuoso pianist and electrifying showman, he toured extensively throughout the European continent, bringing sold-out audiences to states of ecstasy while courting scandal with his frequent womanizing. Drawing on new, highly revealing documentary sources, including a veritable treasure trove of previously unexamined material on Liszt’s Weimar years, best-selling author Oliver Hilmes shines a spotlight on the extraordinary life and career of this singularly dazzling musical phenomenon. Whereas previous biographies have focused primarily on the composer’s musical contributions, Hilmes showcases Liszt the man in all his many shades and personal reinventions: child prodigy, Romantic eccentric, fervent Catholic, actor, lothario, celebrity, businessman, genius, and extravagant show-off. The author immerses the reader in the intrigues of the nineteenth-century European glitterati (including Liszt’s powerful patrons, the monstrous Wagner clan) while exploring the true, complex face of the artist and the soul of his music. No other Liszt biography in English is as colorful, witty, and compulsively readable, or reveals as much about the true nature of this extraordinary, outrageous talent.

Noga Arikha

YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS
2025
sidottu
A thought-provoking account of the life and work of Franz Boas and his influential role in shaping modern anthropology Franz Boas (1858–1942) is widely acknowledged for his pioneering work in the field of cultural anthropology. His rigorous studies of variations across societies were aimed at demonstrating that cultures and peoples were not shaped by biological predispositions. This book traces Boas’s life and intellectual passions from his roots in Germany and his move to the United States in 1884, partly in response to growing antisemitism in Germany, to his work with First Nations communities and his influential role as a teacher, mentor, and engaged activist who inspired an entire generation. Drawing from Boas’s numerous but rarely read writings, Noga Arikha brings to life the man and the ideas he developed about the complex interplay of mind and culture, biology and history, language and myth. She provides a comprehensive picture of the cultural contexts in which he worked, of his personal and professional relationships, and of his revolutionary approach to fieldwork. He was celebrated in his lifetime for the cultural relativism he developed and the arguments he marshaled against entrenched racialism. But his was a constant battle, and Arikha shows how urgently relevant his voice and legacy have become again today.

The first book to publish the entirety of Franz Kafka’s graphic output, including more than 100 newly discovered drawings “The figures he drew stand alone as stories in themselves.”—Lauren Christensen, New York Times Book Review “A sensational new book [that] reveals these hitherto hidden artworks for the first time. . . . This valuable volume allows us to see how, for Kafka, word and image walk arm in arm.”—Benjamin Balint, Jewish Review of Books The year 2019 brought a sensational discovery: hundreds of drawings by the writer Franz Kafka (1883–1924) were found in a private collection that for decades had been kept under lock and key. Until now, only a few of Kafka’s drawings were widely known. Although Kafka is renowned for his written work, his drawings are evidence of what his literary executor Max Brod termed his “double talent.” Irresistible and full of fascinating figures, shifting from the realistic to the fantastic, the grotesque, the uncanny, and the carnivalesque, they illuminate a previously unknown side of the quintessential modernist author. Kafka’s drawings span his full career, but he drew most intensively in his university years, between 1901 and 1907. An entire booklet of drawings from this period is among the many new discoveries, along with dozens of loose sheets. Published for the first time in English, these newly available materials are collected with his known works in a complete catalogue raisonné of more than 240 illustrations, reproduced in full color. Essays by Andreas Kilcher and Judith Butler provide essential background for this lavish volume, interpreting the drawings in their own right while also reconciling their place in Kafka’s larger oeuvre.
