Boris, the round-headed child, reigns like a despot in the little house he lives in with his mother. His mother, Bulle, formerly known as Aglaia, was once the all-powerful queen of the country Marylene. Since Marylene's fall, residents have lived in peace thanks to a self-governing system they have adopted. But when Boris meets Sabine, a warrior French fry thirsty for revenge, nothing will ever be the same ...The final book in Anne Simon's "Tales of Marylene '' graphic novel trilogy (after The Song of Aglaia and Empress Cixtisis), Boris the Potato Child delivers a bitter critique of our consumerist impulses and abuses. Mixing literature and pop culture (such as mashing Simone de Beauvoir with the Beatles), Simon has created in Marylene a world as abundant in visual imagination as Oz or Narnia, but crafted with a Swiftian pen that's mightier than any man's sword.

Katherine of Alexandria was a major object of devotion within medieval Europe, ranking second only to the Virgin Mary in the canon of female saints. Yet despite her undoubted importance, relatively little is known about the significance and function of her cult within the German-speaking territories that stood at the heart of Europe. Anne Simon's study adds a welcome new interdisciplinary perspective to the study of Saint Katherine and the wider ecclesiastical landscape of a medieval Europe poised on the edge of religious change. Taking as a case study the wealthy and politically influential merchant city of Nuremberg, this book draws on a wide variety of textual and visual sources to explore interrelated themes: the shaping of urban space through the cult of Saint Katherine; her role in the moulding and advertising patrician identity and alliances through cultural patronage; and patrician use of the saint to showcase the city's political, economic, cultural and religious importance at the heart of the Holy Roman Empire. Further , the book reveals the construction of exemplarity in Saint Katherine's legend and miracles and their resonance within the context of the city and the Dominican Convent of Saint Katherine, whose nuns came from the same status-aware, confident patrician elite that so loyally supported successive Emperors. Filling a significant gap in current research, the work has much to offer scholars of medieval history, hagiography, art history, German studies, cultural and urban studies. Hence it not only expands our understanding of Saint Katherine's importance in German-speaking territories, but also adds to the picture of her cult in its European perspective.

Aglaia is a simple sea nymph. One day, a Merman seduces Aglaia, forever altering her life's course. She is cast out of Oceanid by her chauvinistic father, forcing her to wander many days and nights, until one day she finds herself at the benefit of one Mr. Kite, whose traveling circus welcomes her (including the star attraction, a waltzing Horse named Henry) and once again alters her fate, sending her down many more unexpected paths. The Song of Aglaia is the first solo graphic novel by cartoonist Anne Simon, presenting a beautifully crafted female spin on the classic heroic myths of Greek literature, tracing the journey of a victimized and then almighty woman with a graceful understanding of human relationships and loving nods to the Bronte sisters, David Bowie, and the Beatles.

Die Forderung nach Einfuhrung eines Familienwahlrechts (vote familial) kam in Frankreich in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts auf. Hiernach sollten dem Familienoberhaupt mehrere Wahlstimmen zustehen, sei es in Vertretung der Kinder, sei es fur die Familie als solche. Die Arbeit behandelt ausser der umfangreichen Literatur alle parlamentarischen Initiativen zwischen 1871 und 1938 zur Einfuhrung des Familienwahlrechts (seit 1924 verbunden mit dem erst 1945 in Frankreich verwirklichten Frauenstimmrecht) und die Verfassungsprojekte von Vichy, die ein Familienwahlrecht vorsahen. Zum Abschluss bringt die Arbeit einen detaillierten UEberblick uber die derzeitige Diskussion zur Einfuhrung eines Familien- bzw. Kinderwahlrechts in Deutschland.

"Das Reyssbuch dess heyligen Lands" was published in Frankfurt am Main in 1584 by Sigmund Feyerabend, leading Protestant publisher of the day. It contains texts dating from early twelfth to the late sixteenth centuries: sixteen pilgrimage reports, including a surprisingly high number of post-Reformation ones, Robert of Reim's history of the First Crusade and the German translation of a Latin pilgrimage guide. Some texts appear in print in the Reyssbuch for the first time; others like Mandeville's Travels, had enjoyed considerable popularity and have a long manuscript and printing history. Reyssbuch travellers and authors include nobles, churchmen, merchants, a doctor and an artisan. The Reyssbuch is not the first collection of travel reports toappear in Germany in the sixteenth century, nor the first to be published by Feyerabend himself; however, it is the first collection of primarily German travel literature rather than translations from the Latin, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese and the only compendium of pilgrimage reports. Moreover, it appeared very late, at a time when the Reformation had caused a decline in pilgrimage and attention was focussed on the New World. This study falls into two parts. The first is the examination of the Reyssbuch as a publisher's product: the printing history of its contents prior to 1584; possible sources for its versions of the texts; the method of their adaption; Feyerabend's intention as expressed in the preface and the extent to which they agree with those of the original authors and publishers; the use of features such as index and marginaliato manipulate reader response; the three subsequent editions of the Reyssbuch (1609, 1629, 1659) and changes both to their content and the way in which they are marketed; and the reception of the compendium as a whole as well as of individual reports from it. The second part seeks to analyse pilgrimage reports as works of literature and discusses the following issues: their structure and its use as a vehicle for the devotional message; their limited use of language and reasons for this, topics which have attracted much attention in scholarly work on pilgrimage reports; the generic identity and function of pilgrimage reports with the accompanying implications for style; pilgrimage reports as the forerunners of the popular prose fiction of the late-fifteenth and early-sixteenth centuries; the relationship between the truth of the actual experience and the truth of the literary form; and the differences between pre- and post-Reformation accounts. Finally the book discusses possible reasons for the Reyssbuch being published in the late sixteenth century, especially the significance of the Turkish threat to Europe and its bearing on the presentation of the texts. Throughout the Reyssbuch is related both to similar works and to its historical background in an attempt to establish, first, the volume's place in a wider socio-political, devotional and literary context; second; contemporary attitudes to pilgrimage and its literary expression.
