Holocaust Literature A History and Guide

Holocaust Literature A History and Guide
David G. Roskies, "Holocaust Literature: A History and Guide "
English | ISBN: 1611683572 | 2013 | 368 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
What is Holocaust literature? When does it begin and how is it changing? Is there an essential core that consists of diaries, eyewitness accounts of the concentration camps, and tales of individual survival? Is it the same everywhere: West and East, in Australia as in the Americas, in poetry as in prose? Is this literature sacred and separate, or can it be studied alongside other responses to catastrophe? What works of Holocaust literature will be read a hundred years from now―and why? Here, for the first time, is a historical survey of Holocaust literature in all genres, countries, and major languages. Beginning in wartime, it proceeds from the literature of mobilization and mourning in the Free World to the vast literature produced in Nazi-occupied ghettos, bunkers and places of hiding, transit and concentration camps. No less remarkable is the new memorial literature that begins to take shape within weeks and months of the liberation. Moving from Europe to Israel, the United States, and beyond, the authors situate the writings by real and proxy witnesses within three distinct postwar periods: "communal memory," still internal and internecine; "provisional memory" in the 1960s and 1970s, when a self-conscious Holocaust genre is born; and "authorized memory," in which we live today. Twenty book covers―first editions in their original languages―and a guide to the "first hundred books" show the multilingual scope, historical depth, and artistic range of this extraordinary body of writing.

Histories of the Musical An Oxford Handbook of the American Musical, Volume 1

Histories of the Musical An Oxford Handbook of the American Musical, Volume 1
Histories of the Musical: An Oxford Handbook of the American Musical, Volume 1 (Oxford Handbooks) edited by Raymond Knapp, Mitchell Morris, Stacy Wolf
English | October 2, 2018 | ISBN: 0190877766 | True EPUB | 240 pages | 1.7 MB
The American musical is a paradox. On stage or screen, musicals at once hold a dominant and a contested place in the worlds of entertainment, art, and scholarship. Born from a mélange of performance forms that included opera and operetta, vaudeville and burlesque, minstrelsy and jazz, musicals have always sought to amuse more than instruct, and to make money more than make political change. In spite of their unapologetic commercialism, though, musicals have achieved supreme artistry and have influenced culture as much as if not more than any other art form in America, including avant-garde and high art on the one hand, and the full range of popular and commercial art on the other. Reflecting, refracting, and shaping U.S. culture since the early twentieth century, musicals converse with shifting dynamics of gender and sexuality, ethnicity and race, and the very question of what it means to be American and to be human.

Is it possible to learn how to attack your opponent's king from a book? Guidelines and verbal explanations are fine, argues David Eggleston, but there is no substitute for the hard work of carefully analyzing the complex position that's on the chessboard in front of you.The author, Britain's newest International Master, invites you to go deeply into typical sharp situations where it may - or may not - be possible to put the enemy monarch to the sword: opposite-side castling, slash-and-burn Sicilians, even mating attacks in the endgame. In the process, you will hone your judgment and develop the analytical skills needed to decide if and when to take the plunge.Emanuel Lasker, the second world chess champion, proclaimed that, "Chess is a fight!" David Eggleston brings that idea vividly to life in this collection of recent international-level battles.
