My Captain!" or "To be or not to be"-memorable. In his inimitably entertaining and wonderfully witty style, he takes apart famous phrases and shows how you too can write like Shakespeare or quip like Oscar Wilde. Whether you're aiming to achieve literary immortality or just hoping to deliver the perfect one-liner, The Elements of Eloquence proves that you don't need to have anything important to say-you simply need to say it well.

And poets are people who are determined to leave a trace in words, to transform oceanic depths of feeling into art that speaks to others.In 100 Poems to Break Your Heart, poet and advocate Edward Hirsch selects 100 poems, from the nineteenth century to the present, and illuminates them, unpacking context and references to help the reader fully experience the range of emotion and wisdom within these poems.

Shara Hughes (geb. 1981 in Atlanta, lebt und arbeitet in New York) bezeichnet ihre Bilder und Zeichnungen als psychologische oder erfundene Landschaften. Ihre Steilküsten, Flussläufe, Sonnenuntergänge und üppigen Gärten, die oft von abstrakten Mustern eingerahmt werden, zeugen von märchenhaften Orten und paradiesischen Stimmungen. Die Gemälde nutzen, wie der New Yorker schrieb, "alle möglichen Tricks, um zu verführen, und schaffen es dennoch, als arglose Visionen von gar nicht so fernen Welten zu erscheinen". Mit Ölfarbe, Pinsel, Spachtel und Spray zelebriert die Künstlerin die Malerei an sich und zitiert dabei nicht selten die Meister anderer Kunstepochen.

Suveræn virus? Den kapitalistiske åndenød er Donatella Di Cesare seneste bog, og er en kort og koncis intellektuel vejviser til Corona-pandemien. Den udgør et af de første væsentlige bidrag til den filosofiske litteratur om pandemien, og er en bearbejdning af en række centrale temaer inden for politisk filosofi, herunder undtagelsestilstand, livets sårbarhed, grænseregimet, teknokrati, ekspertvælde, konspirationsteorier, demokrati, isolation og vejrtrækning.Donatella di Cesare (f. 1956) er en af Italiens mest fremtrædende og nulevende filosoffer. Hun er forfatter til en række bøger om forholdet mellem filosofi og politik, herunder Heidegger og jøderne: de »sorte hæfter« (2014) samt Tortur (2016). Senest har hun i den italienske presse kritiseret Giorgio Agambens kommentarer om Corona-virussens farlighed og hans sammenligning af vaccinepas med de nazistiske jødestjerner; en parallel som også har været genstand for omfattende kritik i Danmark.

The 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) regulates the rights of buyers and sellers in international sales. The Convention is the first sales law treaty to win acceptance on a worldwide scale, and the impressive list of nearly one hundred Contracting States accounts for more than three-fourths of all world trade. The importance of the CISG in the international arena is underlined by thousands of reported decisions where the CISG has been held to apply, thus evidencing the conduct of countless international traders who – by default or by express choice – regularly subject their sales contracts to the Convention regime. The CISG treaty demands an international interpretation, and this extensively updated Sixth Edition draws upon the full range of primary as well as secondary sources of CISG law, including clear and concise reports of the latest decisions, arbitral awards and scholarly opinion. Numerous concrete examples are provided throughout. With this book as their guide, lawyers and students who need to understand international sales law will confidently navigate key topic areas such as these: • determining when the CISG applies; • freedom of contract, opting out; • interpretation of CISG treaty and CISG contracts; • formation, validity, defenses to enforcement; • obligations of the parties; • remedies for breach; • liability exemptions, hardship; and • disclaimers, agreed remedies.
