The author of The Arab of the Future chronicles the hilarious and heartbreaking true life of a young girl growing up in Paris."Funny, well-observed...contains immense daring and depth...Sattouf has drawn a portrait of a generation." Observer, "Graphic Novel of the Month" Once a week for three years, the comic book artist Riad Sattouf had a chat with his friends outgoing young daughter, Esther, in which she told him about her family, her school, her friends, her hopes, her dreams, and her fears. After each meeting, he would create a one-page comic strip based on what she had said. Esthers Notebooks gathers 156 of those strips, spanning Esthers life from ages nine through twelve, giving us a delightful look into the daily dramas of this thoughtful, intelligent, and high-spirited girl.As The Guardian noted: Each page of Esthers Notebooks is self-containedtheres usually a neat punchlinebut read them all, and you come to see that Sattouf has drawn a portrait of a generation: their hopes, dreams and cultural references; the way that their personalities, backgroundsmany of the children portrayed have parents who are immigrantsand preconceived ideas about sexuality begin to play out even before theyve begun secondary school. The result is a bit like a cartoon version of Michael Apteds landmark TV series, Up. These funny, well-observed comics are fantastically daring.

Das alt uberlieferte Sprichwort Adel verpflichtet bedeutet in seinem ureigensten Sinn, dass eine herausragende soziale Position immer auch besondere Verpflichtungen mit sich fuhrt, die sich vor allem auf soziale Verhaltensweisen und die positiv besetzte Erfullung einer Fuhrungsrolle beziehen. In diesem Sprichwort wird von jeher die Aussage transportiert, dass jemand, der durch Herkunft, Geld, Position oder Talent privilegiert ist, auch die Pflicht hat, etwas Gutes damit zu tun und sich demnach zu verhalten. Dieses hier vorgelegte Buch mit dem gleichnamigen Titel Adel verpflichtet ist das Ergebnis einer Studie, die sich intensiv mit dem Juristen adeliger Herkunft, Franz Viktor Freiherr Baselli von Suenberg beschaftigt, der in den Jahren von 1933 bis 1945 nacheinander als Burgermeister in die Stadte Pinneberg, Schleswig und Cottbus berufen worden war. Als oberster Chef der Verwaltung in diesen drei Stadten und als Gauamtsleiter fur Kommunalpolitik trug er in einem sehr hohen Mae dazu bei, dass die vielfach menschenunwurdigen nationalsozialistischen Verwaltungsgrundsatze genauestens umgesetzt wurden. Von Baselli ist damit durch sein Wirken in die Gruppe der von der politischen Philosophin Hannah Arendt mit dem Begriff Schreibtischtater treffend bezeichneten NS-Verbrecher einzugruppieren. Die Studie zeichnet nach intensivem Studium relevanter Quellen das Bild eines kulturell gebildeten Juristen und Familienvaters nach, der als Burgermeister und als Nationalsozialist vielfach zum Tater wurde.

This collection of articles explores a possible alternative beginning of Global Art History and World Art Studies, two methodologies that set a worldwide focus in the study of art around the 2000s. Teaching back to earlier efforts to conceive of the international community in a less Eurocentric way, the volume proposes a tentative link between socialist internationalism as a political and cultural diplomatic principle in the Soviet Block and some new approaches to art and cultural historiography introduced there. In the "Second World", universal art history or Weltkunstgeschichte were endorsed as frameworks for the teaching and writing of art history. Authors in this book interrogate whether "world art history" as practiced by socialist scholars had aspirations and achievements comparable to todays Global Art History and World Art Studies. Or was this knowledge production in an internationalist paradigm a mere foil for communist rhetoric, behind which severed cultural relations to the Western world could also be recommenced?

Um livro intimista de uma das mais respeitadas e reconhecidas jornalistas portuguesas.Partindo de pedaços da sua vida pessoal e profissional, Judite Sousa reflecte, neste livro, sobre a nossa existencia em sociedade, sobre a forma como comunicamos, como agimos, como evoluimos.Ao longo da vida, passamos por experiencias que nos vo marcar, que vo definir a nossa maneira de estar, de pensar e, no limite, de agir. Guardamos o que nos foi acontecendo de bom e de mau. Conhecermo-nos e um exercicio dificil, porque as circunstancias da vida apanham-nos, muitas vezes, de surpresa e no estamos preparados para lidar com magoas, tristezas, mentiras ou, em sentido contrario, alegrias ou bem-estar.O que damos como certo e verdadeiro pode deixar de o ser em horas, minutos, segundos. Em rigor, ninguem pode dizer que esta preparado para as maiores adversidades: a decepço, o fracasso ou a morte.A vida e uma aprendizagem permanente e, neste livro, Judite Sousa fala sobre a Vida, tal como a entende e tal como a vive ate hoje.
