¿Te imaginas despertar un día y darte cuenta de que en realidad no eres más que un actor en una obra de teatro a lo Jim Carrey en Elshow de Truman? Seguro que, como mínimo, dejarías de montar un drama cada vez que vieras que tu pareja se ha vuelto a dejar la nevera abierta. Y ademas, por si te parece poco, quiza tambien apareceria una forma de vivir con la que podrias volver a abrirte y aprender de nuevo, como cuando eramos niños.¿Y por que te cuento esto? Pues porque esta es la perspectiva que adoptan Melendi y Sergi Torres para sumergirse en algunos de los aspectos mas relevantes de la vida. Quiza hayamos olvidado que vivimos en este mundo para aprender, crecer y crear, porque solemos perdernos en los laberintos de nuestra confusion y de nuestros temores. Pero existe una salida: el camino de la sinceridad, una sinceridad tan grande que nos lleve hasta el sincericidio de las mascaras que hemos construido y que nos alejan del lado autentico de la vida. Si, si, ¡a lo Show de Truman!Desde esta apertura nacen las conversaciones (de wasap) entre Melendi y Sergi, dos seres muy humanos que aparentemente no tienen nada que ver, pero que comparten un proposito claro: dejar en evidencia su ignorancia y, desde esa evidencia, volver a descubrir la vida.

OF all the great men of action who since the Conquest have guided the course of English policy, it is probable that none is less known to the reader of history than Richard Neville Earl of Warwick and Salisbury. The only man of anything approaching his eminence who has been treated with an equal neglect is Thomas Cromwell, and of late years the great minister of Henry the Eighth is beginning to receive some of the attention that is his due. But for the Kingmaker, the man who for ten years was the first subject of the English Crown, and whose figure looms out with a vague grandeur even through the misty annals of the Wars of the Roses, no writer has spared a monograph. Every one, it is true, knows his name, but his personal identity is quite ungrasped. Nine persons out of ten if asked to sketch his character would find, to their own surprise, that they were falling back for their information to Lord Lytton Last of the Barons or Shakespeare Henry the Sixth.

Wilhelm Tramitzke, geboren im Februar 1926 in Wischniovka, Bessarabien, ein Landstrich zwischen den Flussen Djestr und Pruth, heute Moldaurepublik, ist Nachfahre deutscher Kolonisten in Bessarabien, welche in den Jahren 1814 bis 1842 Mutterkolonien errichteten. Bis zur Umsiedlung 1940 (Heim ins Reich) bestanden durch ihre Nachfahren bereits 150 Tochterkolonien mit deutschen Namen. Die Umsiedlung nahm ihnen ihre Heimat, und nach der Ansiedlung in Polen verloren sie 1945 zu zweiten Mal ihre Heimat. - In seiner Geschichte beschreibt er die groe Liebe zwischen zwei Menschen, welche schon im Sandkasten unzertrennlich waren. Die Kinder, Sohn eines Metzgermeisters und Tochter eines Apothekers kamen, trotz ihrer groen Liebe, durch den Standesdunkel des Apothekers nicht zusammen, weil er der Meinung war, dass es unter seiner Wurde ware, einen Metzger in der Familie zu haben. Ihm schwebte ein Akademiker vor. Durch Intrigen, Verleumdungen und durch sein Verbot einer Zusammenkunft der beiden, brachte es der Apotheker fertig, dass ein Wiedersehen so gut wie unmoglich war. Dass seine Tochter bereits volljahrig und eine ausgebildete Apothekerin war, scherte den Apotheker nicht. Auch der Metzgersohn hatte bereits seinen Metzgermeister gemacht, und stand beruflich voll im Trend, doch auch das scherte den Apotheker nicht. Das veranlasste den Metzgermeister, nach Argentinien auszuwandern, in der Hoffnung, dass seine groe Liebe ihm nachfolge. Ihre gegenseitige Sehnsucht war unbeschreiblich, doch alles kam anders.

"Ich wollte doch noch die Welt erobern!" Das waren so ziemlich meine ersten Gedanken, als man bei mir 1999 bei einer Untersuchung im Krankenhaus feststellte, dass ich schwer herzkrank bin. Auf den ersten Seiten des Buches fasse ich meine Krankengeschichte zusammen und schildere, wie ich die ersten 20 Jahre mit der Krankheit noch verhaltnismaig gut leben konnte. Im Verlauf der Geschichte wird jedoch deutlich, wie die Einschlage immer naherkommen. Der erste Abschnitt des Buches endet dann mit dem Moment, als sich am 4.11.2019 nach einem dramatischen Herzstillstand zu Hause plotzlich alles anderte. Ich wurde ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert und die Arzte uberlegten dort, was man mit mir machen konnte, um mir wieder ein sicheres Leben auerhalb des Krankenhauses zu gewahrleisten. Da man keine andere Moglichkeit sah, entschied man sich, mich fur eine Herztransplantation zu listen. In den ersten Tagen der Listung und des Wartens, beschloss ich meinen Tagesablauf im Krankenhaus detailliert zu dokumentieren und zu beschreiben, was mich bewegte. Warten kann sehr anstrengend und beangstigend sein. Zudem ist es interessant zu erleben, was alles wahrend der dreimonatigen Wartezeit auf solch einer Station so passiert. Leute sterben, andere Wartende werden transplantiert, weitere Patienten fliegen nach Monaten des Wartens von der Liste und mussen kurzfristig das Krankenhaus verlassen. Das sind zum Teil dramatische Zustande, vor allem, da die Psyche aller wartenden Patienten angeschlagen ist. Dann war es plotzlich soweit: Endlich das "perfekte" Angebot fur mein neues Herz. Im letzten Teil erklare ich wie es sich anfuhlt, wenn man nach der Transplantation auf der Intensivstation wach wird. Wie die Psyche und der Korper auf Grund der Medikamente und der neuen Situation verruckt spielen, wie man versucht weiterzukampfen und wie sich Psyche und Korper langsam annahern, um am Ende als ein neues starkes Ich wieder aufzustehen. Am Ende heit es dann zum Gluck "Ok, jetzt ist Zeit die Koffer zu packen, denn ich wollte doch noch die Welt erobern"

Includes the screenplays for Warfare and Civil War, with an accompanying interview on screenwriting with Iraq War verteran Ray Mendoza, who co-wrote and co-directed Warfare with Alex Garland.Warfare embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory. A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real time, and based on the memory of the people who lived it -- co-writer/co-director Ray Mendoza was a part of the platoon. Warfare will be released in cinemas in April 2025. From Alex Garland comes Civil War, a journey across a dystopian future America following a team of military-embedded journalists as they race against time to reach DC before rebel factions descend upon the White House. The film stars Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson and Nick Offerman.

Architectural patronage was crucial for the thinking of Aby Warburg and his circle. In Hamburg the purpose-designed Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg, completed in 1926, organized Warburgs remarkable library. From 1927 Warburg developed ideas about orientation in the radical transformation of a disused water tower into the Hamburg Planetarium. After the Warburg Institute transferred to London in 1933 this pattern of seminal architectural commissioning continued, including projects designed by the avant-garde practice Tecton during the 1930s, and culminating in the construction of the librarys present home at Woburn Square, Bloomsbury in 1958. Warburg Models: Buildings as Bilderfahrzeuge follows this history, using archive photographs, architectural drawings and a series of architectural models to show how the Warburg scholars projected a connection between their own physical occupancy of architectural space and their shared ideas about intellectual order, cultural survival, and memory.MARI LENDING and TIM ANSTEY are both professors of architectural history at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. Their continuing archive-based seminar on the relationship between the Warburg Institute and architecture has developed into an exhibition and a book, not least because of the skilled participation of their model-building students.

For the second half of his long life, Christopher Logue (1926-2011) - political rebel, inventor of the poster poem, pioneer of poetry and jazz - was at work on a very different project: a rewriting of Homers Iliad. The volumes that appeared from War Music (1981) onwards were distinct from translations, in that they set out to be a radical reimagining and reconfiguration of Homers tale of warfare, human folly and the power of the gods, in a language and style of verse that were emphatically modern. As each instalment, from Kings to Cold Calls, was published, it became clear that this was to be Logues masterpiece.Sadly, illness prevented him from finishing it. Enough, however, of his projected final volume, Big Men Falling a Long Way, survives in notebook drafts to give a clear sense of its shape, as well as some of its dramatic high points. These have been gathered into an appendix by Logues friend and one-time editor, Christopher Reid. The result comes as near as possible to representing the poets complete vision, and confirms what his admirers have long known, that Logues Homer is one of the great poems of our time.

War Is a Racket is a speech and a 1935 short book, by Smedley D. Butler, a retired United States Marine Corps Major General and two-time Medal of Honor recipient. Based on his career military experience, Butler frankly discusses how business interests commercially benefit (including war profiteering) from warfare. He had been appointed commanding officer of the Gendarmerie during the United States occupation of Haiti, which lasted from 1915 to 1934.

Tolstoys epic masterpiece intertwines the lives of private and public individuals during the time of the Napoleonic wars and the French invasion of Russia. The fortunes of the Rostovs and the Bolkonskys, of Pierre, Natasha, and Andrei, are intimately connected with the national history that is played out in parallel with their lives. Balls and soirees alternate with councils of war and the machinations of statesmen and generals, scenes of violent battles with everyday human passions in a work whose extraordinary imaginative power has never been surpassed.The prodigious cast of characters, seem to act and move as if connected by threads of destiny as the novel relentlessly questions ideas of free will, fate, and providence. Yet Tolstoys portrayal of marital relations and scenes of domesticity is as truthful and poignant as the grand themes that underlie them.The last word of the landlords literature and the brilliant one at that.

With A to Z Classics, discover or rediscover all the classics of literature.Contains Active Table of Contents (HTML)War and Peace is a novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russkii Vestnik, which tells the story of Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. It is usually described as one of Tolstoys two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the worlds greatest novels.War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, marriage, age, and death. Though it is often called a novel today, it broke so many conventions of the form that it was not considered a novel in its time. Indeed, Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense.

War and Peace (Pre-reform Russian: ????? ? ????, Voyna i mir) is a novel by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy, first published in its entirety in 1869. Epic in scale, it is regarded as one of the central works of world literature. It is considered Tolstoys finest literary achievement, along with his other major prose work, Anna Karenina (18731877). War and Peace delineates in graphic detail events surrounding the French invasion of Russia, and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Tsarist society, as seen through the eyes of five Russian aristocratic families. Portions of an earlier version of the novel, then known as The Year 1805, were serialized in the magazine The Russian Messenger between 1865 and 1867. The novel was first published in its entirety in 1869. Newsweek in 2009 ranked it first in its list of the Top 100 Books. In 2003, the novel was listed at number 20 on the BBCs survey The Big Read.Tolstoy himself, somewhat enigmatically, said of War and Peace that it is "not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less a historical chronicle". Large sections of the work, especially in the later chapters, are philosophical discussion rather than narrative. He went on to elaborate that the best Russian literature does not conform to standards and hence hesitated to call War and Peace a novel. (Instead, Tolstoy regarded Anna Karenina as his first true novel.) (font: Wikipedia)

A great civilizations fate lay in Dick Barrows hands as he led his courageous fellow engineers into a strange and unknown land. None of them knew what lay ahead-what dangers awaited them-or what rewards. But they did not hesitate because the first question asked them had been: "Are you a brave man?"

This book is characterized as the result of an ethnomusicological and historical research by Recife musician Walter Wanderley (1932-1986), known as a representative of Bossa Nova. Organist, pianist, arranger and sporadic composer, Walter Wanderley has released dozens of records on record labels such as Odeon, Philips, the American company Verve and many others, both as an instrumentalist and arranger for singers and as solo instrumental albums. Even with such a robust record production, Walter Wanderley seems to have been forgotten by most records in the History of Brazilian Popular Music. This book tries to help understand how this success happened predominantly only outside his country of origin and the reasons why his name was practically omitted by historiography and by important references of Bossa Nova. As was his performance in other genres such as Samba, Bolero, Sambalanço and Sambajazz, which are much more present in his work than Bossa Nova itself, a genre for which the artist came to be labeled as representative, especially after his death. The book makes a contribution to the construction of knowledge for Ethnomusicology, Musicology and other areas of study of Brazilian Popular Music in its relations with the cultural industry and with the aspects between Memory and Forgetfulness.
