Malheur August opens with a map of Malheur County, OR and its Malheur River. "Malheur" means "bad time," we're told--and Nancy Minor plays with that notion skillfully. Set in 1971 with substantial flashback to the 1940s, her novel becomes an utterly convincing portrait of life in rural Oregon a generation or two ago. (Think of Grant Wood joking around with Dorothea Lange.)Our protagonist, Jean Algood, spends her last home-from-college summer, the summer of 1971, questioning her parents' friends and neighbors about what Clete and Oleta had been like at her age, and about what had gone wrong--what had embittered her father and hollowed out her mother in the years before she was born.The questioning here is triggered by a photograph Jean and her cousin find when they venture into the ramshackle hut of the town's recently deceased "old hermit." Who was the hermit? Why did he keep a Kodak image of young Clete Algood in an empty coffee can in his filthy shack? Who was the beautiful girl standing next to Clete in the photo, the one with the too-familiar eyes? The "mannish" woman in the photo, they remember from another Kodak back home: it's Clete's twin sister, Cloris, who hasn't been seen in Malheur County since 1946. The plot thickens as they try to identify the hermit. Sweetens as their mother's old friend recounts parts of Oleta's story. Sours when Clete's tractor overturns. Thickens again when Aunt Opal--Clete's uber-bossy Mormon sister--manages to contact Cloris. And then quietly explodes.This is not a bildungsroman, and it's not a murder mystery; it's a recovery tale, beautifully fragmented and waiting to be stitched back together into the crazy quilt which was "this American life" 50 or 75 years ago. It's spot-on about mid-20th-century rural life: it's full of affection and humor and dread. It's replete with rodeos and kittens, seductions and pregnancies, apple pies and accidental deaths and half-hearted heroism. It's loaded with secrets and their keepers. If you've ever studied the faces in old FSA photos, you've been in Malheur County. Read this book to understand those times.

Karl August Böttiger – Briefwechsel mit Désiré Raoul-Rochette

Karl August B ttiger (1760-1835) war nach Viscontis Tod f r kurze Zeit Europas ber hmtester Arch ologe, Direktor der Dresdner Antikengalerie, Herausgeber der ersten arch ologischen Fachzeitschriften "Amalthea" (1820-1825) und "Arch ologie und Kunst" (1828). D sir Raoul-Rochette (1790-1854), bedeutendster Repr sentant der franz sischen klassischen Arch ologie der ersten H lfte des 19. Jahrhunderts, war Akademiemitglied, Inhaber des einzigen franz sischen Lehrstuhls f r Klassische Arch ologie an der Kgl. Bibliothek. Beide f hrten von 1824 bis 1835 einen durchg ngigen, dichten Briefwechsel, der die Neuerscheinungen und Tendenzen der entstehenden Arch ologie in ganzer Breite erfasst. Diese Korrespondenz ist nahezu vollst ndig berliefert. Themen sind B ttigers international erarbeitete und verbreitete Zeitschriften, der europ ische Wissenstransfer, die Auseinandersetzungen um die Arch ologie, in denen die K nstler ausgrenzt werden und die Arch ologie sich durch den Nachweis eigener Fragestellungen und Methoden gegen ber der Philologie als autonome Wissenschaft behaupten muss. Die Arch ologen fechten heftige K mpfe aus - eine neue Generation (Otfried M ller, Eduard Gerhard u. a.) setzt sich durch. Das Arch ologische Institut in Rom entsteht. Zahlreiche Monumente werden entdeckt, die Sammlungslandschaft ver ndert sich. Politische Auseinandersetzungen wie die franz sische Julirevolution von 1830 wirken in die Wissenschaft hinein.
Karl August Böttiger – Briefwechsel mit Christian Gottlob Heyne

Der Philologe Christian Gottlob Heyne (1729-1812) und der Arch ologe, Journalist und P dagoge Karl August B ttiger (1760-1835) schrieben einander von 1788 bis 1812 etwa 300 Briefe. Nicht nur Ereignisse, in deren Mittelpunkt sie selbst stehen, so der vernichtende Angriff auf Heyne in der Rezension seiner Ilias-Edition in der "Allgemeinen Literaturzeitung" oder B ttigers innovative Dresdner Vorlesungen, werden eingehend behandelt. Die Briefe zeigen die beiden Gelehrten als Wissenschaftsmanager und, Networker' in ihrer Verstrickung in die philologische Forschung, die Entstehung der modernen Arch ologie und die durch die Napoleonischen Kriege verursachte Neustrukturierung der deutschen Wissenschaftslandschaft. Goethes Weimarer Klassizismus wird von den Altertumsexperten kritisch beobachtet und kommentiert. Selbst in Texten um 1800 nur selten ber hrte Themen wie Homosexualit t oder die Probleme der Unterschicht werden im vertrauten Briefwechsel er rtert.
