Nobodaddy's Children is a trilogy of novels that traces life in Germany from the Nazi era through the postwar years and into an apocalyptic future. Scenes from the Life of a Faun recounts the dreary life of a government worker who escapes the banality of war by researching the exploits of a deserter from the Napoleonic Wars nicknamed The Faun. Brand's Heath deals with the chaos of the immediate postwar period as a writer joins a small community of survivors to try to forge a new life, and Dark Mirrors is set in a future where civilization has been virtually destroyed. Dark Mirrors' narrator fears he may be the last man on earth until the discovery of another creates new fears. All three novels are characterized by Schmidt's unique combination of sharply observed details, sarcastic asides, and wide erudition.

This is the last in a four volume edition of the early fiction of one of the most daring and influential writers of postwar Germany, a man often called the German James Joyce due to the linguistic inventiveness of his fiction.

Among Schmidt enthusiasts, scholars, and fans, the two novels stand in sharp contrast to one another, the first belonging to his early, more realistic phase, and the second introducing his later, more experimental phase. But the hairs are not worth splitting.

Taking place in 1954, The Stony Heart concerns a man gathering documents for a study of a historian, and in the course of his search he gets involved with a woman who is married to a man who is involved with a woman, etc. B/Moondocks has parallel stories, one played out in a rural German town in the late 1950s, and the other on the moon in 1980 (the book was first published in German in 1960).

At the heart of both is an absolute commitment to two things: freeing language from its commonplace prose functions, and Schmidt's ongoing savage attack on the German mind-set and attitude that gave us two world wars in this century.

Food is central to daily religious practice and holiday celebrations the world over. For instance, Orthodox Jews keep kosher, Muslims feast after fasting during the holy month of Ramadan, and Hindus leave food offerings in the temple for the dieties. For many, food is seen as nourishment for the body and soul. This cookbook illuminates the food practices of followers of the world's major religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Shintoism. The narrative and nearly 300 recipes give a flavor of what is often eaten for sacred occasions and why. This volume will be useful for a range of cooks and purposes. It is targeted to middle school age to adults. Those looking for more and different recipes for religion class assignments and International Week Food Festival or even for browsing will be richly rewarded with a one-stop resource.

Each chapter covers a religion or two with similar food practices. A brief overview of the religion is followed by a discussion of any dietary restrictions. Then the recipes are organized by holiday or special occasion, featuring from appetizers to desserts. Recipes are culled from a variety of countries and cultures where the religion is practiced. The recipes are contextualized and have clear instructions for the novice cook. A final section in some chapters allows readers to recreate what the religion's founder or major figures might have eaten during their lifetime. A glossary defines what might be unfamiliar cooking terms and food and kitchen items. An introduction, list of recipes, conversion measurements, bibliography, index, and illustrations round out the cookbook.

Die griechischen Mythen sind weltbekannt. Im Unterschied zu den Mythen vieler anderer Volker ist die griechische Mythologie durch Umfang und Vielfalt sowie ihre Nahe zu den fundamentalen Befindlichkeiten der Menschen in die globale Wissenschafts- und Philosophiegeschichte eingegangen: z., B. Odipus in die Psychoanalyse Sigmund Freuds, Dionysos in die Kulturtheorie Friedrich Nietzsches und in die Theologie bzw. Religionswissenschaft, Herakles in die praktische Philosophie, Kadmos in die Literatur, Technikgeschichte sowie Mathematik, Autoren wie Hesiod in die Kosmologie. In diesem Buch geht es um Mittelgriechenland, insbesondere um die Landschaft Bootien mit der Stadt Theben und auch Attika mit Athen. Hier liegen die Quellen und Schauplatze von Mythen, in deren Mittelpunkt Konig Odipus, Kadmos, Dionysos, Herakles sowie Theseus stehen, aber auch das systematische Denken uber die Entstehung der Welt, der Gotter (oder auch eines Gottes) und der Menschen. Arno Schmidt eroffnet neue Perspektiven auf diesen Sagenkreis und dessen Wirkungsgeschichte und arbeitet den engen Zusammenhang Europas mit dem alten Orient heraus.

Die Philosphie der Klassiker, insbesondere des Sokrates, des Platon und des Aristoteles, wird in umfangreichen Werken behandelt. Arno Schmidt verzichtet daher auf einen erneuten Uberblick uber deren Gesamtschaffen, sondern setzt einen hochaktuellen Schwerpunkt: Er fuhrt den Leser umfassend in deren Gedankenwelt zur Entwicklung menschlichen Erkennens und Wissens, der Erziehung und Bildung ein. Die Ansichten der Klassiker mochte er als Anregung verstanden wissen, die gegenwartige politische Diskussion um PISA zu hinterfragen: Lasst sich das geistige Wachstum der Jugend in das Korsett von Massen und Punkten zwangen? Das Buch wird begleitet und bereichert durch Radierungen von Ernst Marow. Arno Schmidt ist klassischer Philologe. Als Universitatsprofessor lehrte er an der Carl-von-Ossietzky-Universitat Oldenburg und an der Martin-Luther-Universitat in Halle. Gegenwartig halt er Vorlesungen am Institut fur Philosophie an der Philipps-Universitat Marburg uber die Entwicklung der antiken Philosophie und ihre Wirkungsgeschichte. Ernst Marow ist freischaffender Kunstler und lebt in Peetsch (Mecklenburg Vorpommern). Seine Arbeiten wurden vielfach ausgestellt und ausgezeichnet. Unter anderem erhielt er 1981 fur sein zeichnerisches Werk den Sprengel-Preis. Ende 2007 prasentierte er seine Radierungen zu den Mythen der Griechen im Rahmen einer grossen Ausstellung in der Galerie Brusberg zu Berlin.

Die spatantike Philosophie ist einerseits durch grosse Vielfalt, andererseits aber auch durch die Beschrankung auf drei Disziplinen gekennzeichnet: Ethik, Physik und Logik. Im Ganzen uberwiegt das lebenspraktische Interesse als Leitmotiv der Erkenntnis. Eingebettet ist diese Philosophie in die geistig-kulturell und politisch hochinteressante und bis heute nachwirkende Epoche des Hellenismus, die in der Einleitung beschrieben wird. Ausfuhrlich werden die grossen Schulen der Epikureer und Stoiker sowie die von der griechischen Philosophie gepragten romischen Philosophen behandelt. Arno Schmidt stellt immer wieder die Wirkungsgeschichte der philosophischen Lehren heraus: Er diskutiert z.B. die Nachwirkung der Lehren der Epikureer und Stoiker auf die heutige Menschenrechtsdebatte und schildert die Entwicklung des Christentums und seiner Dogmen aus der griechisch-romischen Philosophie heraus. Das durch Radierungen von Ernst Marow bereicherte Buch wendet sich an philosophisch interessierte Leser. Arno Schmidt ist klassischer Philologe.

Dieses Buch handelt vom Dichten und Denken der Vorsokratiker. Arno Schmidt beginnt seine Darstellung jedoch nicht erst bei Thales von Milet: Er widmet sich ausfuhrlich den Gedanken des Homer, Hesiod und Orpheus, die in ihren Werken uber die Entstehung der Welt, der Gotter und uber das Verhaltnis der Menschen zur Welt und zu den Gottern nachsannen. Es entstanden die Mythen vom Kampf der Kroniden gegen die Titanen und vom Kampf der Griechen gegen die Troer, aber auch Mythen uber die Geburt und den Tod, die Liebe und den Hass. Sie entwickelten Gedanken, die in der Theologie und der Kunst bis in unsere Zeit hinein wirken. In ihrer Tendenz zwischen Sache und Person zu trennen, legten sie den Grundstein fur Philosophen wie Thales, Anaximander und Anaximenes. Deren sachorientiertes Denken ebnete schliesslich den Weg zu einer neuen Weltsicht, zu wissenschaftlicher Forschung und insbesondere zu den Naturwissenschaften. Die Geburt des Logos wendet sich an alle philosophisch Interessierten, die versuchen, den geistigen Ursprung Europas zu verstehen und ihren eigenen Standort darin. Das Buch wird begleitet und bereichert durch Radierungen von Ernst Marow.

My mother wrote a diary from 1946 to 1949 about her life as mother with four children in postwar Austria. Life was diddicult, there were shortages, food was scares, children got sick, school issues, living in an apartment with cold water tap, shared toilet on hallway. Yet the book is full of optimism, rich cultural and religious life and how she coped.

Reminiscing about life in kitchens, the hospitality industry, history, customer expectations, challenges and an amusing look at over eager cookbook writers. After spending close to 70 years in the industry I am still fascinated by people, food, taste, complains and accolades. I pay homage to my colleagues who labor behind the kitchen door, unseen and usually unknown to the customers putting your food together. They are the heroes of our industry. I talk about the pantry workers toiling away and the stewards keeping the kitchens humming. I talk about the challenges and pressures and about the sad fact that chefs create food but don't eat it themselves.

Der Mythos um Troja zahlt zu den bekanntesten griechischen Sagen. Er umfasst die Vorgeschichte des Krieges, den Kampf um die Stadt Troja und deren Eroberung mit Hilfe einer List, dem trojanischen Pferd. Er umfasst auch die Geschichten der Heimkehrer -- darunter die Abenteuer des Odysseus. Aus einem Blickwinkel, der die gangigen Heldenepen immer wieder bricht, werden die tragischen Geschichten aus Homers Ilias und Odyssee, um Tantalos, Pelops, Thyestes, Atreus und um Agamemnon und Achilleus erzahlt. Arno Schmidt lenkt hierbei immer wieder das Augenmerk auf die Rolle und das Schicksal der Frauen, wie Klytaimnestra, Helena und Kassandra. Am Verlauf lasst sich ablesen, wie sich Gebiete der Philosophie herauskristallisieren: Kosmogonie, Ethik, Ontologie und Erkenntnistheorie. Arno Schmidt bezieht hierbei ausfuhrlich die Mythentheorie ein. Fundamental ist der Mythos auch fur die Wirkungsgeschichte in der Literatur, Kunst und Musik, fur das Theater und den Film bis in das 3. Jahrtausend nach Christus. Grafiken und Bilder von Ernst Marow, Giorgio die Chirico, Edvard Munch und Benozzo Gozzoli belegen die Gegenwartigkeit des antiken Mythos.
