The Full Severity of Compassion: The Poetry of Yehuda Amichai (Stanford Studies in Jewish History and Culture)
by Chana KronfeldYehuda Amichai (1924–2000) was the foremost Israeli poet of the twentieth century and an internationally influential literary figure whose poetry has been translated into some 40 languages. Hitherto, no comprehensive literary study of Amichai's poetry has appeared in English. This long-awaited book seeks to fill the gap. Widely considered one of the greatest poets of our time and the most important Jewish poet since Paul Celan, Amichai is beloved by readers the world over. Beneath the carefully crafted and accessible surface of Amichai's poetry lies a profound, complex, and often revolutionary poetic vision that deliberately disrupts traditional literary boundaries and distinctions. Chana Kronfeld focuses on the stylistic implications of Amichai's poetic philosophy and on what she describes as his "acerbic critique of ideology." She rescues Amichai's poetry from complacent appropriations, showing in the process how his work obliges us to rethink major issues in literary studies, including metaphor, intertextuality, translation, and the politics of poetic form. In spotlighting his deeply egalitarian outlook, this book makes the experimental, iconoclastic Amichai newly compelling.

Full Wolf Moon: A Novel (Dr. Jeremy Logan #5)
by Lincoln ChildLegends, no matter how outlandish, are often grounded in reality. This has been the guiding principle behind the exhilarating career of Jeremy Logan, the 'enigmalogist - an investigator who specializes in analyzing phenomena that have no obvious explanation - previously seen in The Forgotten Room, The Third Gate, and Deep Storm. Logan has often found himself in situations where keeping an open mind could mean the difference between life and death, and that has never been more true than now.Logan travels to an isolated writers' retreat deep in the Adirondacks to finally work on his book when the remote community is rocked by the grisly discovery of a dead hiker on Desolation Mountain. The body has been severely mauled, but the unusual savagery of the bite and claw marks call into question the initial suspicions of a wild bear attack. When Logan is asked to help investigate, he discovers no shortage of suspects capable of such an attack - and no shortage of locals willing to point the finger and spread incredible rumors. One rumor, too impossible to believe, has even the forest ranger believing in werewolves. As Logan gets to know the remote deep-woods landscape, including a respected woman scientist still struggling with the violent loss of her father in these very woods, Logan realizes he's up against something he has never seen before.His most action-packed and white-knuckled novel to date, Full Wolf Moon is the perfect combination of exotic locales, provocative science, and raw action that make for a deeply entertaining Lincoln Child blockbuster.

Fülle des Lauts: Aufführung und Musik in der deutschsprachigen Lyrik seit 1945: Das Werk Ernst Jandls in seinen Kontexten (Abhandlungen zur Literaturwissenschaft)
by Frieder Von AmmonSeit dem Beginn der Moderne im späten 18. Jahrhundert gibt es in der deutschsprachigen Lyrik Bestrebungen, die ‚multimediale Ganzheit‘, die die Lyrik in der Vormoderne vielfach gebildet hatte, unter den Bedingungen der modernen Schriftkultur wiederzugewinnen. Lyrik wird im Rahmen des neuen Formats der Dichterlesung aufgeführt und, im Umkreis der Romantik, dezidiert musikalisiert. Dieses Projekt der Re-Performativierung und Re-Musikalisierung der Lyrik wurde seit den 1960er Jahren aktualisiert und hat gegenwärtig einen Höhepunkt erreicht. Dabei spielen die neuen medialen Möglichkeiten durch Tonträger, und Film eine zentrale Rolle. Die Arbeit stellt diese Entwicklung dar und bietet neue methodologische Wege zur Interpretation performativer Lyrik, die vor allem anhand des Werks Ernst Jandls erprobt werden.
