Traditionally, Germany has been considered a minor player in Pacific history: its presence there was more limited than that of other European nations, and whereas its European rivals established themselves as imperial forces beginning in the early modern era, Germany did not seriously pursue colonialism until the nineteenth century. Yet thanks to recent advances in the field emphasizing transoceanic networks and cultural encounters, it is now possible to develop a more nuanced understanding of the history of Germans in the Pacific. The studies gathered here offer fascinating research into German missionary, commercial, scientific, and imperial activity against the backdrop of the Pacific's overlapping cultural circuits and complex oceanic transits.

From the moment of its inception, the East German state sought to cast itself as a clean break from the horrors of National Socialism. Nonetheless, the precipitous rise of xenophobic, far-right parties across the present-day German East is only the latest evidence that the GDR's legacy cannot be understood in isolation from the Nazi era nor the political upheavals of today. This provocative collection reflects on the heretofore ignored or repressed aspects of German mainstream society--including right-wing extremism, anti-Semitism and racism--to call for an ambitious renewal of historical research and political education to place East Germany in its proper historical context.

German soldiers.Awarded the German Cross in Gold and the Knight's Cross, von Luck writes as an officer and a gentleman. Told with the vivid detail of an impassioned eyewitness, his rare and moving memoir has become a classic in the literature of World War II, a first-person chronicle of the glory--and the inevitable tragedy--of a superb soldier fighting Hitler's war.

Was keiner für möglich gehalten hätte, ist eingetreten. Hauptkommissar Hobelsberger hat den Polizeidienst quittiert. Auf der Suche nach seinem Seelenfrieden hat er sich ein neues Leben aufgebaut, das ihn vollkommen erfüllt. Doch seine kriminalistische Intuition lässt ihn auch an seinem derzeitigen Arbeitsplatz ein Verbrechen wittern.Zwei spurlos verschwundene Personen beschäftigen ihn - und bald auch die Mordkommission in Passau.

Als eine junge Frau ermordet wird, die Hobelsberger etwas anvertrauen wollte, gerät sein beschauliches Leben gehörig ins Wanken.Und unversehens ist er wieder im Ermittlermodus...Gibt es einen Mörder in seinem neuen Arbeitsumfeld und welche Bedeutung hat eine zutiefst verstörende Geschichte, die sich Ende der 60er Jahre in dem kleinen Örtchen Fürsteneck zugetragen hat?Der vierte Fall, der genaugenommen gar nicht sein Fall ist, bringt nicht nur Hobelsberger, sondern auch das Kripo-Team an ganz persönliche Grenzen und weit darüber hinaus.

Diese kurze Geschichte habe ich geschrieben um mir selbst Mut zu machen und Hoffnung zu geben. Trauer zu bewältigen und um Zuversicht zu behalten. Und um euch zu wünschen, dass ihr irgendwann einmal sagen könnt: ¿Alles ist gut!¿

Pablo H. Vivanco zeichnet in dieser Publikation die Entwicklung des Liberalismus in der Habsburger-Monarchie über einen Zeitraum von zwei Dekaden aus politischer, kultureller und journalistischer Perspektive nach. Der berühmten These des "Versagens" des Wiener und europäischen Liberalismus und seiner Sublimierung in Kunst und Kultur der Jahrhundertwendezeit hält der Verfasser eine Differenzierung der politischen liberalen Öffentlichkeit in Wien entgegen, die sich frühzeitig und aus Anlass prägender Ereignissen von 1861 (Februar-Verfassung), 1867 ("Ausgleich") und 1873 (Börsenkrach) herausbildete und sich mit der ursprünglich breiten gesellschaftlichen Repräsentationskraft der 1848er Generation identifizierte. Konstitutionelle Tageszeitungen (z.B. "Neue Freie Presse", "Neues Wiener Tagblatt") bezogen in diesem Sinne auch Positionen gegen den politischen Katholizismus und aufziehenden deutschnationalistischen Antisemitismus. Liberale Presseorgane bilden somit, ebenso wie die publizistischen Beiträge des österreichisch-jüdischen Historikers, Journalisten und Politikers Heinrich Friedjung (1851-1920), Markierungspunkte in dieser neuen Geschichte liberaler Kultur und Öffentlichkeit in Wien, die durch den Transformationsprozess zu den demokratischen Massenparteien aus dem politischen Gedächtnis verdrängt wurde.

Die Studie untersucht erstmals umfassend die Bedeutung literarischer Mehrsprachigkeit in der deutschen Literatur des 20.¿21. Jahrhunderts. Behandelt werden u.a.

Gezeigt wird, dass mehrsprachiges Schreiben nicht nur die Normen Einsprachigkeit und Nationalliteratur unterläuft, sondern poetologisch Fragen von Bedeutungsgenerierung und sprachlicher Materialität reflektiert.

Das Buch ""Das Unmoralische Der Todesstrafe"" wurde im Jahr 1841 von Michael Petocz ver������ffentlicht. Es handelt sich um eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Todesstrafe und ihrer moralischen Legitimit�����t.
