A strangely eccentric family awaits the return of the long gone but not easily forgotten Willie. When he finally returns, he disappoints no one with his bizarre brand of confrontational politics. The ending is both violent and ritualistic. A Midwestern gothic. "Robert Auletta's script is a family drama with a difference…it has a frayed-edge poetry and wild-animal energy that turn its story, about a veterinary student and his feral foster brot...

Dieses sein erstes Violinkonzert schrieb Mozart, wie aus der Widmung ersichtlich ist, im Frühjahr 1766 während eines mehrwöchigen Aufenthaltes am französischen Hof, als er auf der Rückreise von England mit Vater und Schwester zum zweiten Male nach Paris kam. Das Werk verdankt seine Entstehung wohl dem Umstand, dass man öfters die erstaunlichen Fähigkeiten des jungen Künstlers in Zweifel zog und ihm deshalb eine Aufgabe stellte, die er unter de...

Hans Jonas here rethinks the foundations of ethics in light of the awesome transformations wrought by modern technology: the threat of nuclear war, ecological ravage, genetic engineering, and the like. Though informed by a deep reverence for human life, Jonas's ethics is grounded not in religion but in metaphysics, in a secular doctrine that makes explicit man's duties toward himself, his posterity, and the environment. Jonas offers an assessm...

Kay Ann Johnson provides much-needed information about women and gender equality under Communist leadership. She contends that, although the Chinese Communist Party has always ostensibly favored women's rights and family reform, it has rarely pushed for such reforms. In reality, its policies often have reinforced the traditional role of women to further the Party's predominant economic and military aims. Johnson's primary focus is on reforms o...

Unlike much recent scholarship on George Herbert, Love Known demonstrates the inseparability of Herbert's theology and poetry.

Cutting across traditional lines, the book is the first sustained study of ...

There is a tendency to regard African literature as a homogenous product. Certainly it is true that African writers have created a vibrant, modern literature. Nevertheless, they come from specific societies and reflect vastly differing worlds. This book attempts to show some of the many faces of African literature.

White makes a state-of-the-art attempt to enrich legal theory with the insights of modern literary theory. . . . Writing with natural elegance, White manages to be insightful and inciteful."--Allan C. Hutchinson, Yale Law Journal

Events which become historical, says Michael Kraus, do not live on because of their mere occurrence. They survive when writers re-create them and thus preserve for posterity their otherwise fleeting existence. Paul Revere's ride, for example, might well have vanished from the records had not Longfellow snatched it from approaching oblivion and given it a dramatic spot in American history. Now Revere rides on in spirited passages in our history...
