Abstract

Die Literatur von Überlebenden der Shoah zeichnet sich oft durch einen kühlen, sachlichen Ton und eine luzide Nüchternheit aus. Welche Bedeutung kommt diesen Stilmerkmalen in der literarischen Auseinandersetzung der Autorinnen und Autoren mit den eigenen Erlebnissen zu? Wie lassen sich die erzählerischen und essayistischen Strategien zusammenführen? Bianca Patricia Pick legt in ihrer Untersuchung der autobiographischen und fiktionalen Texte der jüdischen Verfolgten Albert Drach, Jean Améry, Edgar Hilsenrath, Imre Kertész und Ruth Klüger ein Hauptaugenmerk auf die Deutungskategorie der Distanz als Schreibverfahren, das Züge des Sarkastischen, Grotesken, des Ressentiments und des Protokolls annimmt.

Abstract

Timeless wisdom on controlling anger in personal life and politics from the Roman Stoic philosopher and statesman SenecaIn his essay "On Anger" (De Ira), the Roman Stoic thinker Seneca (c. 4 BC-65 AD) argues that anger is the most destructive passion: "No plague has cost the human race more dear." This was proved by his own life, which he barely preserved under one wrathful emperor, Caligula, and lost under a second, Nero. This splendid new translation of essential selections from "On Anger," presented with an enlightening introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, offers readers a timeless guide to avoiding and managing anger. It vividly illustrates why the emotion is so dangerous and why controlling it would bring vast benefits to individuals and society.Drawing on his great arsenal of rhetoric, including historical examples (especially from Caligula's horrific reign), anecdotes, quips, and soaring flights of eloquence, Seneca builds his case against anger with mounting intensity. Like a fire-and-brimstone preacher, he paints a grim picture of the moral perils to which anger exposes us, tracing nearly all the world's evils to this one toxic source. But he then uplifts us with a beatific vision of the alternate path, a path of forgiveness and compassion that resonates with Christian and Buddhist ethics.Seneca's thoughts on anger have never been more relevant than today, when uncivil discourse has increasingly infected public debate. Whether seeking personal growth or political renewal, readers will find, in Seneca's wisdom, a valuable antidote to the ills of an angry age.

Abstract

A landmark book that changed the story of Poland's role in the HolocaustOn July 10, 1941, in Nazi-occupied Poland, half of the town of Jedwabne brutally murdered the other half: 1,600 men, women, and children--all but seven of the town's Jews. In this shocking and compelling classic of Holocaust history, Jan Gross reveals how Jedwabne's Jews were murdered not by faceless Nazis but by people who knew them well--their non-Jewish Polish neighbors. A previously untold story of the complicity of non-Germans in the extermination of the Jews, Neighbors shows how people victimized by the Nazis could at the same time victimize their Jewish fellow citizens. In a new preface, Gross reflects on the book's explosive international impact and the backlash it continues to provoke from right-wing Polish nationalists who still deny their ancestors' role in the destruction of the Jews.
