This latest volume of Campbells acclaimed diaries sees the author, and the country, at a profound crossroads. Brown is finally gone, and Cameron is in the ascendancy with a little help from the Liberal Democrats. Somehow Campbell must emerge from the ruins and grapple with his own future; just as Britain begins its own journey into austerity and, eventually, to Brexit. Volume 8 contains some of Campbells most poignant and thought-provoking writing so far and is a must-read for fans of this most accomplished of political diarists.

"Das Beiderwandkleid" von Waldtraut Lewin ist auch als kunstvoll gestaltetes Buch (die Druckversion) im Festeinband mit zusatzlichem durchsichtigem goldbedruckten Schutzeinband aus Pergamentpapier erhaltlich. Klappentext und Inhaltsubersicht! Klappentext: Der Roman beginnt mit einem grandiosen Monolog an den Tod, ein faszinierender Einstieg, zumal die Handlung zu einem Zeitpunkt beginnt, wo in Deutschland eine grausige Kriegs-, Kalte- und Hungerzeit herrscht und wie in einem Inferno Feuer vom Himmel regnet. Die Autorin findet mit sicherem Gespur die richtigen Begriffe und Formulierungen fur ein Thema, das nach wie vor mit einem Tabu belegt ist, etwa wenn sich das kleinen Madchen selber schone Gefuhle macht in einer halichen Welt: offen und ehrlich. Wunderbar auch die eindringliche Zeichnung der anderen: Groeltern, Mutter, Jungen, mit denen das Madchen spielt oder wie es sich zum ersten Mal verliebt, erst in den sogenannten Mozart, spater in den zackigen Ami-Offizier, der den Groeltern so schadet, was der Liebe der Kleinen aber keinen Abbruch tut. Im vorliegenden Buch handelt es sich um eine einfuhlsam erzahlte, wahre Geschichte aus der Sicht eines kleinen Madchens, ohne da dabei der altkluge Erwachsenenblick durchschlagt, der sie unglaubwurdig machen wurde. Vielmehr wird diese Perspektive mit dem Groerwerden der Protagonistin konsequent und authentisch durchgehalten. Gewollt provozierende Literatur zu einem Problem, das weder in Deutschland noch sonstwo auf der Welt so sensibel und vorurteilslos wie hier beschrieben wird.

Alexander (Sandy) Goehr is a leading British composer and teacher. Born into a Jewish musical family in Berlin in 1932, he arrived in England in 1933 with his father, Walter, a composer, conductor, and pupil of Arnold Schoenberg; and his mother Laelia, a trained pianist from Kyiv. Raised in Amersham, he attended Richard Halls classes at the Royal Manchester College of Music. There he formed the Manchester School a group of young composers and performers including Peter Maxwell Davies, Harrison Birtwistle, and John Ogdon. He was introduced to Olivier Messiaen when his father conducted the first British performance of Turangalila-Symphonie in 1953, and he later studied with Messiaen and Yvonne Loriod in Paris.In the late 1950s and early 60s Goehr became known as a radical exponent of serial music. Since then, he has composed more than one hundred major works, including operas, orchestral and chamber pieces, and music for film, television, dance and theatre. He is Emeritus Professor of Music at Cambridge University and one of Europes most important music educators. He has written and lectured extensively and his music is performed all over the world.Jack Van Zandt (b. 1954), an American composer and Goehrs former pupil and assistant, has co-written this first comprehensive account of the life, creative foundations, and teachings of this great composer.

Rachel Meller was never close to her aunt Lisbeth, a cool, unemotional woman with a drawling Viennese-Californian accent, a cigarette in her hand. But when Lisbeth died, she left Rachel an intricately carved Chinese box with a sunflower clasp. Inside the box were photographs, letters and documents that led Rachel to uncover a story she had never known: that of a passionate Jewish teenager growing up in elegant Vienna, who was caught up by war, and forced to flee to Shanghai. Far from home, in a strange city, Lisbeth and her parents build a new life - a life of small joys and great hardship, surrounded by many others who, like them, have fled Hitler and the Nazis. 1930s Shanghai is a metropolis where the old rules do not apply - a city of fabulous wealth and crushing poverty, where disease is rife, and gangsters rub shoulders with rich emigres; where summer brings unspeakable heat, and winter is bitterly cold; and where European refugees build community and, maybe, a young woman can find love. Set against a backdrop of the war in the Far East, The Box with the Sunflower Clasp is a sweeping family memoir that tells the hidden history of the Jews of Shanghai. Rachel Meller writes with elegance and insight as she examines what it means to survive, and what the legacy of displacement and war might mean for the generation that comes afterwards.

In 1964 Faisal bin Abdul Aziz became king of a country holding a quarter of the worlds oil reserves, also home to Mecca and Medina. He was called the most powerful Arab ruler in centuries. Eleven years later, in front of television cameras, his nephew shot him at point-blank range. In this authoritative biography, Alexei Vassiliev tells the story of a pious, cautious and resolute leader who steered Saudi Arabia through a minefield of domestic problems, inter-Arab relations and the decline of Soviet influence in the Middle East. King Faisal maintained ties with both Egypt and the United States through two Arab - Israeli wars and the 1973 Arab oil embargo, which revolutionized the world energy market. Throughout, he staked high hopes on cooperation with the US, a relationship that is still vital to both countries interests. Exhaustively researched and including original documents and interviews in Arabic, Russian and English, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia: Personality, Faith and Times offers a unique perspective of this seminal figure and is key to understanding the Arab world today.

Finally, the Diary Book, where we find the authors everyday life, his particularities and reflections that colours the happenings of his daily life.What to say about this writing that many times seems to be unreal for the reader, but that in Joo Rosa de Castros experience appears to have much meaning?The reader is not up to decipher the enigmas nor understand them, but enjoy the words of the writers intimacy that lead us to seversal situations lived by him and that he wished to share. Like the writing in which he reveals to be the best hour, the best day, the best month and the best year of his life, or when he discusses the matter drugs based on the discussion held by Maria Rita Kehl in the Philosophical Cafe, or even the confession that he doesnt know how to console when the matter is death, when he knew of the death of the dog of his Januarios muse.At last, getting into this book means allowing to open oneself to the perceptions, reflections of its author and enjoy his words.

Jacques Tatis Monsieur Hulot, unverkennbar mit seiner Pfeife, seinem Regenschirm und seinen gestreiften Socken, war eine geniale Slapstick-Kreation, die das Publikum auf der ganzen Welt uber die Absurditat des Lebens lachen lie. David Bellos Biografie zeichnet Tatis Aufstieg und Fall nach, von seinen Anfangen als Variete-Mime wahrend der Depression uber den Erfolg von Jour de Fete und Mon Oncle bis hin zu Playtime, dem grandiosen Meisterwerk, das den gefeierten Regisseur und Oscar-Preistrager in den Bankrott trieb und ihn um finanzielle Unterstutzung fur die Fertigstellung seiner letzten Filme betteln lie.Bei der Analyse von Tatis einzigartiger Vision, eines Clowns, dessen filmische Innovation darin bestand, das alltagliche Leben in eine Kunstform zu verwandeln, enthullt Bellos die komplizierte Inszenierung seiner beruhmtesten Gags und stutzt sich auf bisher unzugangliche Archive, darunter Filmmaterial, Videos, aufgezeichnete Interviews und fruhe Entwurfe von Drehbuchern, sowie die Mithilfe von Tatis Tochter. Herausgekommen ist das Bild eines Mannes, der gleichzeitig engagiert, leidenschaftlich und schuchtern war, mehr Kunstler als Geschaftsmann. In der genau recherchierten Darstellung wird Tati sehr lebendig und bleibt, wie auf der Leinwand, seltsam liebenswert.

In September 1949 Adenauer became German Chancellor. One year later remilitarization was a done deal. Any resistance to it was fought by theauthorities. As early as in 1951 the federal government filed the application to declare the anti-constitutionality of the KPD. During this period, Willi Dickhut fi rst worked in the cadre department of the KPD North Rhine-Westphalia, and later in the KPDs central cadre department. It becomes clear how close the collaboration with the cadre department "West" of the SED was. Bureaucratic mistakes in the treatment of cadres occurred already then. From mid-1952 the author worked as First County Secretary in Solingen. Efforts to regain lost ground for the KPD in the factories and enter into a unity of action with the SPD at the local level there were successful. On 17 August 1956 the KPD was banned. The work in illegality impeded the necessary internal discussion in the party that in a situation in which the KPD unhesitatingly adopted the revisionist line of the CPSU promulgated by Khrushchev at the 20th Party Congress in February 1956. Willi Dickhut shared the view of the Communist Party of China that socialism had been betrayed there. This led to his expulsion from the party in 1966. To Willi Dickhut it was clear: the degeneration of the KPD and DKP made the building of a new Marxist-Leninist party a necessity. He promoted this task with all his energy.

John Creedons scenes from an Irish childhood paint a colourful and sometimes hilarious picture of a changing Ireland and the growing pains of boyhood.Set in a city-centre household bustling with humanity, the cast includes a dozen children and another dozen adults, including aunts, an American writer, an African doctor, and a Scottish bookie.The streets outside overflow with brewery horses, beat clubs, dance halls, nuns, priests, a Turkish delight shop and a pub where a child could sit up on a high stool and smoke his cigarette in peace.Creedon spent the sixties striding the streets of inner-city Cork, with summers farmed out to friends and family in the countryside. His stories are set in wildly contrasting worlds, from urban exotica to spacious meadows, from tales of the open road to his classroom of over fifty boys.These are stories of friendship, fun, family and folklore. The result is a heart-warming and revealing journey into an Irish boyhood.

Between 2016 and his retirement in 2022, Assistant Garda Commissioner John ODriscoll was the public face of garda operations targeting organised crime. This put him at the centre of a long-running quest to bring about the demise of the Kinahan drug cartel, culminating in US sanctions being imposed an unprecedented development, spearheaded by ODriscoll.But the Kinahans were just some of the many notorious drug dealers and criminals ODriscoll successfully brought to book. During his tenure at Dublins Store Street, he was tasked with reckoning with the heroin epidemic, and his unique approach to community policing got to the root of the power of infamous criminals like Tony Felloni, Michael Cronin and Derek Dunne, stripping them of their assets.Spanning a period of unprecedented change that challenged the very nature of fighting crime in Ireland, On Duty, the first ever memoir of an Assistant Garda Commissioner, offers a unique insight into policing at the highest level.

The youngest of seven children from a hurling-obsessed Portumna family, Joe Canning was steeped in the game from birth. Regarded as a prodigy from the moment he stepped onto the pitch as a boy, he burst onto the national radar aged just 19, scoring 212 for Galway in a narrow defeat to Cork. But it would be another nine summers before he would lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup. Over the next decade, the whole country became fixated on Galways quest for glory and the many struggles along the way: would Joe Canning be the greatest hurler never to win an All-Ireland medal?Pulsating with a unique sense of family and community in a place where hurling is a way of life, Joe Cannings memoir reflects on the standards of excellence he sometimes felt chained to, the suffocation of trying to meet other peoples expectations and the personal battles that brought perspective to a singular focus on winning. Thoughtful and revealing, this is the remarkable story of one of Irelands greatest hurlers.

Over the past fifty years, Nigel West has been involved in almost every espionage-related investigation, breakthrough or revelation that you can think of. His molehunts have led to the unmasking of spies within MI5, MI6 and the CIA and the identification of numerous others some of whom were crucial to the Allied victory in the Second World War and would have died without any public recognition if not for him.His first encounter with the intelligence community was a lecture given at his school by John le Carre, the guest of a Benedictine monk who had recently retired from MI6. Later, West worked as a researcher for SOE agent Ronnie Seth, who was sentenced to death by the Nazis after being captured during Operation blunderhead, and exposed two of the Cambridge spies recruited by Anthony Blunt. For the fortieth anniversary of the D-Day landings, West traced the double agent codenamed garbo and brought him to London so he could be decorated at Buckingham Palace.As action-packed as the lives of the spies he has written about, this is the story of the most enthralling and significant post-war intelligence revelations as told by Britains most authoritative writer on espionage and the secret services.

Eleonore Heerwart wurde als herausragende Vertreterin der fruhen Frobelbewegung von Freunden in Deutschland und Amerika gebeten, die Erinnerungen ihrer mehr als 50-jahrigen Wirksamkeit als Frobel-Padagogin aufzuschreiben.Sie schreibt daruber:Das Interesse meiner padagogischen Freunde knupft sich nicht an meine Person, sondern an Frobel, dessen Erziehungsweise ich mich seit 1853 unausgesetzt gewidmet habe und daher mein Leben wie ein Faden durchzieht. In derselben Zeit entwickelten sich die in seinem Sinne errichteten Anstalten, namentlich die Kindergarten und Bildungsanstalten fur Kindergartnerinnen, sodass ich das Wachstum von kleinen Anfangen bis zu der jetzigen Verbreitung mit erlebt habe.Die Selbstzeugnisse Eleonore Heerwarts belegen, wie sie die fur eine Frau um 1850 bestehenden Hurden uberwand und zu einer weltweit bekannten und hoch geachteten Expertin und Protagonistin der Kindergartenbewegung wurde.Ihr Einfluss darauf, dass die Kindergarten-Idee Friedrich Frobels heute weltweit verbreitet ist und somit faktisch zum kulturellen Erbe der Menschheit gehort, kann gar nicht hoch genug eingeschatzt werden.Kinder auf der ganzen Welt eint, dass sie in einen Kindergarten gehen. Wie bedeutsam fur eine Welt, in der sich wieder Zwietracht breit machen mochte.

A un anno dallimprovvisa scomparsa del Professor Giuseppe Dalla Torre, non pochi hanno ripercorso i suoi prestigiosi incarichi nellUniversita, nella comunita accademica italiana e internazionale, nella Curia romana e nello Stato della Citta del Vaticano, e ne hanno ricordato le qualita intellettuali e umane nonche la sterminata produzione scientifica. Ce tuttavia un profilo della sua versatile personalita che forse e rimasto in ombra: quello legato alla sua attivita giornalistica, invero assai protratta e fertilissima.Probabilmente a causa del pregiudizio per il quale scrivere sui giornali o interfacciarsi con i mass media, per lapproccio piu semplice e divulgativo con cui le materie vengono affrontate, rientri in una sorta di dimessa arte minore cui i docenti si dedicano a tempo perso: quasi un leggero diversivo rispetto alla piu scrupolosa e severa stesura di testi rigorosamente scientifici. Per converso Giuseppe Dalla Torre, sin dalla giovinezza, mai ha disdegnato di applicarsi allelaborazione di articoli giornalistici, in particolare per il quotidiano Avvenire: scendendo dalla cattedra universitaria e rivolgendosi con immediatezza al lettore della testata di ispirazione cattolica, per illustrare, con linearita logica e chiarezza concettuale, lautentica sostanza dei problemi trattati in tutti i loro risvolti, specie giuridici, piu controversi. Attraverso la lettura di questi articoli su argomenti quanto mai eterogenei - sintetici e quasi lapidari, come postulato dal genere letterario - emerge lavvincente itinerario ultratrentennale della vivace militanza, nella compagine ecclesiale e nella societa civile, di un giurista cattolico che non ha mai, anche nelle condizioni di piu aspro scontro su differenti fronti, abdicato al suo munus - diremmo canonisticamente - genuinamente laicale di animazione cristiana delle realta temporali, secondo il magistero piu vivido del Vaticano II. Il volume, riproponendo molti di tali interventi e corredandoli di brevi analisi di suoi allievi, diretti e indiretti, auspica di dar conto di questo aspetto sinora poco indagato, e invece cosi pregnante, della sua opera.A cura di Geraldina Boni
