Duitsland. Biografie van een natie

Hollands Diep, 2016. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 597. De geschiedenis van de laatste 150 jaar is in hoge mate bepaald door één natie: Duitsland. Aanstichter van twee wereldoorlogen. Twee keer vernietigend verslagen. Verantwoordelijk voor de grootste genocide in de geschiedenis van de mensheid. Tot op de grond toe afgebroken. Tot twee keer toe herrezen uit de puinhopen van haar eigen geweld. Verdeeld, verkaveld, maar opnieuw uitgegroeid tot de dominante macht in Europa. Wat weten we eigenlijk van de bewogen geschiedenis van Duitsland? En hoe kijken de Duitsers naar zichzelf en hun eigen historie? Vijfentwintig jaar na de vorming van het nieuwe, herenigde Duitsland, op 3 oktober 1990, peilt Neil MacGregor, directeur van het British Museum, ziel en wezen van Duitsland en de Duitsers. In dertig briljante, rijk geïllustreerde beschouwingen beschrijft hij 600 jaar Duitse geschiedenis. Wat maakt Duitsland tot Duitsland? MacGregor vertelt het verhaal aan de hand van honderden mensen, voorwerpen, plaatsen, kunstwerken, gebouwen, geschriften. Het gaat over worst, bier, porselein, over schrijvers, schilders en politici, over Goethe, Dürer en Bismarck, over Kant en Gutenberg, over wetenschap, filosofie, muziek, literatuur, kunst, architectuur, industrie. Over de drukpers en de Volkswagen Kever. Over Bauhaus en Buchenwald. Over de betekenis van de Rijn en over de taal van Luther, Heinrich Heine, Thomas Mann en de gebroeders Grimm. Over de etsen van Dürer en de cantates van Bach. Over speelgoed, glaswerk, schilderijen en de oorlogsmonumenten van Ernst Barlach. En over 'Made in Germany'. Neil MacGregors Duitsland is cultuurgeschiedenis op zijn allerbest - een boek zoals nooit eerder over Duitsland geschreven is. ISBN: 9789048827657. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Aristophanes; Marshall MacGregor

Aristophanes: The Birds and the Frogs

London, Edward Arnold & Co. 1927. First edition. Cloth. A very scarce, lovely first edition of MacGregor's translation of Aristophanes' notable plays 'The Birds' and 'The Frogs.' A lovely copy of Aristophanes' notable plays 'The Birds' and 'The Frogs,' first thus translated by Marshall MacGregor, with an introduction and essay ion the form and spirit of Aristophanic comedy, as well as an appendix on the interpretation of certain passages in the plays. A very scarce copy, rarely found on the marker in such lovely condition. Both comedies by ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes.'The Frogs' follows Dyonisus as he travels to Hades to bright Euripides back from the dead, bringing with him his slave Xnathias, smarter and braver than himself. 'The Birds' was acclaimed by modern critics as a perfectly realised fantasy, particularly for its mimicry and the gaiety of its songs. It follows the story of Pisthetaerus, who convinces the birds to create a city in the sky to regain their status as the original gods - so he could become a god himself and take over Zeus' role as the mightiest of gods. In the original publisher's quarter cloth binding over marbled boards.  From the library of Eric Kenneth Prentice Back.  Kenn Back was a British meteorologist with the British Antarctic survey for many years.  He spent eight winters in the Antarctic and is a descendent of Captain George Back. In addition, he served as base commander at Halley, Faraday and Rothera stations.  His library collection was built over decades and highlights his love of polar exploration.  In the original publisher's quarter cloth binding over marbled boards. Externally lovely with minor shelf wear only and a minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine and extremities. With Kenn Back's bookplate to the front pastedown. Internally, firmly bound. With some spotting to the fore edge, affecting only slightly the first and last few leaves, the pages are otherwise bright and clean. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: None. Very Good Indeed .
