Albrecht Fabri (1911-1998) zahlt zu den brillantesten Essayisten der Nachkriegszeit. Mit seinem radikalen AEsthetizismus provozierte er alle, die in Kunst oder Literatur ein Medium zur Unterhaltung oder zum gesellschaftlichen Engagement erblickten. Fast unbekannt sind bis heute seine fruhen Essays und Rezensionen, die zwischen 1933 und 1940 im Dritten Reich erschienen. Sie zeigen neue Facetten seines Schreibens und lassen auf spannende Weise verfolgen, wie sich Fabris individueller Stil und wesentliche Motive seines asthetischen Denkens herausbildeten. Eine Personalbibliographie sowie eine umfassende Einfuhrung in Leben und Werk des Essayisten umrahmen die Textedition.

Intensive Basic Latin: A Grammar and Workbook comprises a dynamic reference grammar and related exercises in a single volume. The book presents forty individual grammar points, covering the core material which students would expect to encounter in their first year of learning Latin. Grammar points are followed by contextualised examples and exercises which allow students to reinforce and consolidate their learning. There is a particular emphasis throughout on familiarising students with real, unadulterated Latin and the task of teasing information from the Latin via translations. To this end, there are matching exercises with unedited Latin excerpts and rough English translations in the chapters, encouraging students to take a hands-on approach in their learning. In addition to this, a short reading relating to the adventures of Hercules is presented at the end of almost every chapter; these readings, which become progressively more complex, give the course a strong sense of narrative cohesion and interest and provide students with opportunities to develop their comprehension and translation skills. Key features include: Clear, accessible format and jargon-free explanations of grammar Many useful language examples Abundant and varied exercises with full answer key Controlled usage of vocabulary throughout, allowing students to concentrate on building up their grammatical knowledge Review chapters at intervals throughout the text, providing exercises specially designed to consolidate knowledge of language points covered Useful English-Latin and Latin-English glossaries at the back of the book Written by an experienced instructor, Intensive Basic Latin: A Grammar and Workbook is an ideal resource for beginning students of Latin. It can be used as a textbook, grammar reference and practice resource and is suitable both for class use and independent study.

In Making Your Own Days, celebrated poet Kenneth Koch writes about poetry as no one has written about it before -- and as if no one had written about it before. Full of fresh and exciting insights and experiences, this book makes the somewhat mysterious subject of poetry clear for those who read it and for those who write it -- and for those who would like to read and write it better. Treating poetry not as a special use of language but, in fact, as a separate language -- unlike the one used in prose and conversation -- Koch is able to clarify the nature of poetic inspiration, how poems are written and revised, and what happens in a reader's mind and feelings while reading a poem. Koch also provides a rich anthology of more than ninety works: lyric poems, excerpts from long poems and poetic plays, poems in English, and poems in translation -- by poets past and present from Homer and Sappho to Lorca, Snyder, and Ashbery. Each selection is accompanied by an illuminating explanatory note designed to complement and clarify the text. In this book, Kenneth Koch's genius for making poetry clear and for bringing out its real pleasures is everywhere apparent.
yOn July 1, 1996, representatives from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and a number of countries where German is a minority language met in Vienna to finalize the new reform of German spelling. This reform is due to come into force on August 1, 1998. The present publication situates the new system in a historical dimension and sets out the rationale behind the changes foreseen. Central criteria here are the linguistic theories and orthographic principles underlying the modifications planned in various areas of spelling, and the aims pursued by them. These new official guidelines are also discussed critically by a number of opponents of the reform. Here different theoretical approaches to the problem of correct writing and other views on what the evolution of German spelling could look like are set against the new official guidelines. Taken together, these conflicting views provide a reliable basis for an assessment and a comparison of the various concepts that have been put forward.

Koster investigates the subject of death and dying as depicted on Scandinavian runic stones from the Viking era. Her study calls into question our conventional understanding of the function of these inscriptions, showing that runic inscriptions were not limited to epigraphs, but were also prepared more generally for individuals who were still alive."
