Zug um Zug : Wernes Katholiken im Machtspiel zwischen Berlin und Rom (9783754306413)

Der Kulturkampf, ein Machtspiel zwischen Staat und katholischer Kirche, betraf und bewegte die Empfindungen der Katholiken in Deutschland, vor allem im Königreich Preußen, in den letzten Jahrzehnten des 19. Jahrhunderts wie kein anderes Ereignis. Die Kleinstadt Werne war besonders betroffen von der Auseinandersetzung zwischen Berlin und Rom, zwischen Bismarck und Pius IX.. Priestern wurde unter harten Strafen verboten, ihre pastoralen Aufgaben zu erfüllen. Das Kapuzinerkloster wurde wie alle Klöster aufgelöst. Der Historiker Karl-Heinz Schwarze ordnet die Ereignisse vor Ort in den europaweiten Zusammenhang ein. Die katholischen Gläubigen, die geschlossen ihrer Kirche die Treue hielten, widerstanden dem staatlichen Druck mit zahlreichen Maßnahmen. Reichskanzler Otto von Bismarck hatte den Konflikt ausgelöst. Dieser fand weltweit so großes Interesse, dass der Begriff in anderen Sprachen zum Fremdwort wurde. Eine weitreichende negative Folge des Kampfes war, dass Bismarck im Bündnis mit d...

Monet Ou Le Triomphe de l'Impressionnisme (9783836523226)

À part Turner, aucun artiste n'a comme Claude Monet (1840-1926) autant travaillé à capturer la lumière sur la toile. De tous les impressionnistes, celui dont Cézanne disait qu'il n'était «qu'un oeil, mais bon Dieu, quel oeil!», est le seul à ne jamais s'être écarté du principe de fidélité absolue à la sensation visuelle, peignant au plus près de ce qu'il voyait. On dit que Monet a réinventé les possibilités de la couleur. Que ce soit à travers son intérêt précoce pour les estampes japonaises, le temps qu'il passé pendant son service militaire sous la lumière éblouissante de l'Algérie ou le fait qu'il connaissait personnellement les plus grands peintres de la fin du XVIIIe siècle, il est vrai que ce que Monet a créé tout au long de sa carrière a changé pour toujours notre manière de percevoir le monde tel qu'il est et ce qui nous entoure. Il atteint le sommet de ses recherches avec la série tardive consacrée aux nymphéas peinte dans son j...

Philip Roth : A Counterlife (9780199846108)

This new biography of famed American novelist Philip Roth offers a full account of his development as a writer. Philip Roth was much more than a Jewish writer from Newark, as this new biography reveals. His life encompassed writing some of the most original novels in American literature, publishing censored writers from Eastern Europe, surviving less than satisfactory marriages, and developing friendships with a number of the most important writers of his time from Primo Levi and Milan Kundera to Isaac Bashevis Singer, Saul Bellow and Edna O'Brien. The winner of a Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, and the Man Booker International Prize, Roth maintained a remarkable productivity throughout a career that spanned almost fifty years, creating 31 works. But beneath the success was illness, angst, and anxiety often masked from his readers. This biography, drawing on archives, interviews and his books, delves into the shaded world of Philip Roth to identify the ghosts, the character,...
