Ein vergnüglicher Live-Mitschritt einer Lesung aus dem zweiten Esche-Buch. "Zuallererst ist Eberhard Esche ein grandioser Darsteller. Einer, dem die wohlkalkulierte Sprechpause zum dramatischen - oder urkomischen - Höhepunkt gelingt, der sein Publikum mit spitzbübischem Charme und einer ganz unverhohlenen und daher sehr liebenswerten Eitelkeit mit dem kleinen Finger dirigiert und ihm dabei Häppchen zuwirft, Petitessen, leckere Kleinigkeiten in halben Sätzen, denen nach abgewogener Kunstpause ein weiteres Sätzchen folgt."

Many of literature's greatest works, from ancient myths to the works of Nobel laureates, rely on fantasy. Even when there has been a dominant preference for realism, generation after generation of readers have been drawn to stories of the fantastic-not only for what they help us learn about ourselves as individuals or as members of society, but also for what they show about our social values.

Professor Perl invites you in these eight lectures to abandon your preconceptions and consider some of the most controversial authors of the 20th century: the Modernists.Who were they? How did "classical" Modernists like Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and James Joyce differ from "neo-Modernists" like Gertrude Stein and William Carlos Williams? What made them believe and write as they did? Why were political extremism, war, and self-destructive behavior such defining forces in their writing (and their personal demons)? What do they have to say to us today in the 21st century?These lectures place literary Modernism within the wide-ranging context of the philosophy, literature, politics, and morality of its time. In doing so, they allow you to look more clearly at the writers and works who have contributed to the definition of human culture. You'll see Eliot, Joyce, Pound, Yeats, James, Lawrence, and others spring to life with their radical beliefs about art and their unforgettable novels and stories. These lectures do not shrink from the challenges imposed by exploring Modernism, or from challenging the answers that scholars have routinely accepted. Nor do they shy away from the difficulties of literary Modernism itself; a literary genre that intimidates many. But despite all this, these lectures are brilliantly organized, crystal clear, and an invaluable tool for finally wrapping your brain around a dramatic roster of authors and an enduring canon of literature.

If you've ever longed to read the great Modernist novels of the early 20th century - perhaps James Joyce's Ulysses, Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse, or William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! - but have shied away or set them down because of their intimidating style, fragmented narrative, or lack of a clear plot, you no longer need to wait, or be reluctant to return. In this series of 24 lectures, an acclaimed literary scholar and award-winning teacher has created an accessible gateway to this remarkable literary movement.

Ulysses depicts a world that is as fully conceived and vibrant as anything in Homer or Shakespeare. It has been delighting and puzzling readers since it was first published on Joyce's 40th birthday in 1922. And here, Professor Heffernan maps the brilliance, passion, humanity, and humor of Joyce's modern Odyssey in these 24 lectures that finally make a beguiling literary masterpiece accessible for anyone willing to give it a chance.

Der Gedichtband "dresden dilemma" ist Stefan Seyfarths erste Solo-Veröffentlichung. Ob es Rechtsradikalismus, glückliche und gescheiterte Beziehungen oder das Nachtleben in der Dresdner Neustadt sind - immer gelingt es ihm, das Lebensgefühl eines seine Umwelt wachen Geistes betrachtenden aber auch lebensfrohen jungen Mannes einzufangen und lyrisch zu verarbeiten. Dabei trifft am Hip-Hop geschultes Versmaß auf fantasievolle Wort-Collagen.
