Originally published in 1983, this study starts with an exploration
of proto-Nazi literature in the early 20th Century and pursues
later developments up to the arrival of fully-fledged National
Socialism. Not only literature within Germany is covered; after
1933 republican writers forced into exile for racial as well as
political reasons rejected the anti-Semitic 'barbarism' of National
Socialism and developed a powerful brand of anti-fascist literature
in countries around the world. This 'exile' literature is covered
in depth, both for its outstanding individual figures like Brecht
and Mann as well as for the general phenomenon of exile. Attention
is particularly focused on those non-Nazis who remained in Germany
as 'inner emigres' forming a resistance literature. One area of
resistance also highlighted in the book is the Spanish Civil War in
which many writers fought.

Volume V deals with the problems of turnover in the nervous system.
"Turnover" is defined in different ways, and the term is used in
different contexts. It is used rather broadly in the present
volume, and intentionally so. The turnover of macromolecules is
only one aspect; here "turnover" in dicates the simultaneous and
coordinated formation and breakdown of macromolecular species. The
complexities of cerebral protein turnover are shown in a separate
chapter dealing with the synthesis of proteins, in another on
breakdown, and in still another on the relationship of these two
(showing how the two halves of turnover are controlled). The fact
that most likely the two halves of protein turnover, synthesis and
breakdown, are separated spatially and the mechanisms involved are
different further emphasizes the complexity of macromolecular
turnover. "Turnover" is used in a different context when the
turnover of a cycle is discussed; but here again a number of
complex metabolic reactions have to be interrelated and controlled;
some such cycles are discussed briefly in this volume, additional
cycles have been discussed with metabolism, and some cycles still
await elucidation or discovery.

"These five plays provide an excellent introduction to Kaiser's
vision of the regeneration of man, which he illustrated in his
works by a total paring down of detail, penetrating to the core of
the matter and revealing man's true potential. In From Morning to
Midnight the cashier, downtrodden victim of the capitalist system,
turns bank robber in order to test the power, freedom and happiness
that money can bring. His grand gesture of setting himself and
others free turns into an odyssey of disillusion and ends in his
violent death. The unique stage technique employed by Kaiser is as
challenging today as it was when the play was first performed. The
Burghers of Calais has always been considered Kaiser's greatest
play and the "classic" of Expressionist drama. In it, Kaiser
exploits the non-naturalistic technique of Expressionism. The play
embraces vast expansiveness and total concentration, stylized
gesture and lengthy monologues."
