"The story of Hans Brinker, or of any boy born and bred in Holland, cannot be fitly told without including something of the story of Holland itself-of its history, its oddities, and the leading characteristics of its heroic and thrifty people."-Mary Mapes Dodge, preface, Hans BrinkerA beloved childhood favorite for a century and a half-and a book that readers continue to enjoy and appreciate long into adulthood-Hans Brinker, the Silver Skates (1865) by Mary Mapes Dodge went through more than 100 editions during the author's lifetime alone. This replica of the 1915 edition features beautiful color illustrations by George Wharton Edwards, an impressionist painter, who enlivens the tale of the poor but virtuous Dutch boy in a way that few other artists have achieved. This edition brings the enchanting work of Mary Dodge to a new generation of children.
It's 1940 and Hans and his comrades are on their way to France as part of the forces set to invade Western Europe. This episode finds Karl opportunistically indulging in his rather unconventional pastime, the French getting truly fried, and Hans being as frustratingly imbecilic and painfully oblivious as always. Join Hans on his (mis)adventures as he clumsily attempts to navigate the French battlefield in the first days of the invasion before taking an unexpected holiday in Paris with a very special visitor. Filled with brilliantly detailed art, deliciously dark humour and accurately depicted vehicles from the early war, whether you're a history or art buff or simply love to laugh, this comic promises to please

Hans Christian Andersen in American Literary Criticism of the Nineteenth Century
Herbert Rowland
Fairleigh Dickinson University Press

sidottu
In Hans Christian Andersen in American Literary Criticism of the Nineteenth Century, Herbert Rowland argues that the literary criticism accompanying the publication of Hans Christian Andersen’s works in the United States compares favorably in scope, perceptiveness, and chronological coverage with the few other national receptions of Andersen outside of Denmark. Rowland contends that American commentators made it abundantly evident that, in addition to his fairy tales, Andersen wrote several novels, travelogues, and an autobiography which were all of more than common interest. In the process, Rowland shows that American commentators “naturalized” Andersen in the United States by confronting the sensationalism in the journalism and literature of the time with the perceived wholesomeness of Andersen’s writing, deploying his long fiction on both sides of the debate over the nature and relative value of the romance and the novel, and drawing on two of his works to support their positions on slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction.
Memoirs – Hans Jonas

When Hans Jonas died in 1993, he was revered among American scholars specializing in European philosophy, but his thought had not yet made great inroads among a wider public. In Germany, conversely, during the 1980s, when Jonas himself was an octogenarian, he became a veritable intellectual celebrity, owing to the runaway success of his 1979 book The Imperative of Responsibility. In the 1920s, Jonas studied philosophy with Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, but the Nazi regime forced him to leave Germany for London in 1933. He later emigrated to Palestine and eventually enlisted in the British Army’s Jewish Brigade to fight against Hitler. Following the Israeli War of Independence, he emigrated to the United States and took a position at the New School for Social Research in New York. He became part of a circle of friends around Hannah Arendt and Heinrich Blucher, which included Adolph Lowe and Paul Tillich. This memoir, a diverse collection of previously unpublished materials—diaries, letters, interviews, and public statements—has been organized by Christian Wiese, whose afterword links the Jewish dimensions of Jonas’s life and philosophy. Because Jonas’s life spanned the entire twentieth century, this memoir provides nuanced pictures of German Jewry during the Weimar Republic, of German Zionism, of the Jewish emigrants in Palestine during the 1930s and 1940s, and of German Jewish émigré intellectuals in New York. Since Memoirs was first published in 2008, interest in the work of Hans Jonas has grown among American academics in recent years.

Hans Comics is a sardonic adventure series about a whimpy and petulant (yet surprisingly philosophical) young German soldier reluctantly fighting on the front line in WW2 when he would much rather be masturbating. Accompanied and often babied by his trusted comrades including Udo (a glass-half-full workaholic with a big nose) and Karl (an emotionally fragile sadist with impulse-control issues), this book is loaded with wickedly funny interpretations of actual historical events and highly detailed and authentic depictions of military machinery. Whether you're a history buff, military vehicle fan or simply love edutainment comics with a bit of a dark side, Hans Comics will lure you on an exciting and eccentric existential expedition across various times and settings, where your attention span is kept hostage until the very last page....WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT HANS COMICS: "This comic is the reason why I get up everyday.""I love your comics Somehow you incorporate history and humour and that's a very hard thing to do " "These comics are so funny. I can't wait for the release of the book."
Roberto Matta, Cecilia Vicuña, Alfredo Jaar, Paz Errázuriz and others offer insight into Chilean art and politics This volume looks closely at the Chilean experimental art scene, in which practitioners have mastered avant-garde strategies and encouraged cultural dissidence. Over the past five years Hans Ulrich Obrist interviewed three generations of Chilean artists, performers and writers, many of whom worked despite the horrific violence and censorship of the Pinochet dictatorship and now navigate through the hazy context that surrounds the post-dictatorial nation in the 21st century. This unique constellation of practices has become a model for a particular mode of postmodernism based on research and experimentation. The stunning archival images and extensive interviews organized chronologically with Roberto Matta, Juan Pablo Langlois, Catalina Parra, Sylvia Palacios Whitman, Carmen Beuchat, Eugenio Dittborn, Paz Errázuriz, Gonzalo Díaz, Cecilia Vicuña, Diamela Eltit, Raúl Zurita, Alfredo Jaar and Seba Calfuqueo offer a deeply personal insight into Chile’s evolving culture.

"The Little Mermaid" was completely Andersen's creation, though influenced by De la Motte Fouqu 's "Undine" (1811) and the lore about mermaids. This tale established Andersen's international reputation. Andersen's work sometimes drew on old folktales but more often deployed fairytale motifs and plots in new tales.This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian-inspired dust jacket.

There are many biographies of former soldiers of the German Wehrmacht, many of whom had fascinating stories to tell, and several of whom were highly decorated. Few, however, can match Hans Sturm in his astonishing rise from a mere private in an infantry regiment, thrown into the bloody maelstrom of the Eastern Front, to becoming a glorified war hero whose role brought him into direct regular contact with Prominenten of the Third Reich. This young man's fearless heroism in combat earned him some of Germany's highest military awards, and yet he was pugnaciously outspoken about bullying and injustice. From striking a member of the feared Sicherheitsdienst in defence of a Jewish woman to refusing to wear a decoration he felt was tainted by its encouragement of inhumane treatment of enemy partisans, Sturm repeatedly stuck to his moral values no matter what the risk. But even when the war was finally over, his travails did not end: he was held in a number of Soviet labour camps, before finally being released in 1953. Hans Sturm: A Soldier's Odyssey on the Eastern Front is an engaging reconstruction of events based on exchanges of correspondence and reminiscences between the author and Hans Sturm himself. It vividly portrays not only a German soldier's experience on the Eastern Front, but the intriguing trajectories that success in the battlefield yielded for him at home under the Nazi regime.
