Never again Max Mannheimer swore to himself that he never wanted to return to Germany, the land of his tormenters. He had suffered everything that a person could encounter in the inferno created by the Germans: humiliation, forced exile, internment in a ghetto, death of almost his entire family in the gas chamber, concentration camp, hunger, sickness and abuse. By some miracle he survived. But then Mannheimer became acquainted with a young German who had been active in the resistance and started a family with her. For many years he never spoke about his suffering. Only when he thought he was close to death did he decide to record his experiences for posterity in this "late diary."

Caryl Churchills spare and resonant version of Strindbergs enigmatic masterpiece.Written in 1901, a mysterious amalgam of Freud, Alice in Wonderland and Strindbergs own private symbolism, A Dream Play follows the logic of a dream:A young woman comes from another world to see if life is really as difficult as people make it out to be. Characters merge into each other, locations change in an instant and a locked door becomes an obsessive recurrent image. As Strindberg wrote in his preface, he wanted to imitate the disjointed yet seemingly logical shape of a dream. Everything can happen, everything is possible and probable. Time and place do not exist.This version of A Dream Play, from a literal translation by Charlotte Barslund, is by leading playwright Caryl Churchill. It was first performed in the Cottesloe auditorium of the National Theatre, London, in February 2005, in a production directed by Katie Mitchell, with additional material by Katie Mitchell and the company.Also included is an introduction by Caryl Churchill.

This carefully crafted ebook: "A History of New York: From the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty (Complete Edition Volume 1&2)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Knickerbockers History of New York, From the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty is a work of history, disguised as satire, which was published in 1809 by the American writer Washington Irving under the pseudonym Dietrich Knickerbocker. The full title of the work is "A history of New York, from the beginning of the world to the end of the Dutch dynasty. Containing, among many surprising and curious matters, the unutterable ponderings of Walter the Doubter, the disastrous projects of William the Testy, and the chivalric achievements of Peter the Headstrong, the three Dutch governors of New Amsterdam: being the only authentic history of the times that ever hath been published." Irving draws an unflattering image of the settlers of the colony New Nederland and the Dutch are drawn as lazy pipe smokers of little minds. The work is considered a satire on the political leadership of the United States. Washington Irving (17831859) was an American author, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He is best known for his short stories "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" both of which appear in his book The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. His historical works include biographies of George Washington and Oliver Goldsmith, and several histories of 15th-century Spain, dealing with subjects such as the Moors and the Alhambra. Irving served as the U.S. ambassador to Spain from 1842 to 1846.
