Between Left and Right

Germany remains a leader in Europe, as demonstrated by its influential role in the on-going policy challenges in response to the post 2008 financial and economic crises. Rarely does the composition of a national government matter as much as Germany’s did following the 2009 Bundestag election. This volume, which brings together established and up-and coming academics from both sides of the Atlantic, delves into the dynamics and consequences surrounding this fateful election: How successful was...

Between Prague Spring and French May

Abandoning the usual Cold War–oriented narrative of postwar European protest and opposition movements, this volume offers an innovative, interdisciplinary, and comprehensive perspective on two decades of protest and social upheaval in postwar Europe. It examines the mutual influences and interactions among dissenters in Western Europe, the Warsaw Pact countries, and the nonaligned European countries, and shows how ideological and political developments in the East and West were interconnected...

Biegbrief en ander verhale

Nee, ant Millie, het Annalise gedink, ek gaan nie net my hare verander nie. Ek sal sommer vir ’n totale makeover gaan. Ek is nou moeg en siek en sat daarvoor om ’n ou lieslap te wees. Ek wil ook ’n slag soos ’n million dollar babe voel! En Petrus sal betaal. Hy sal elke sent betaal. En het Petrus betaal? Moenie eens vra nie! Vra eerder: Het Annalise se plan gewerk? En nie net hare nie, want wat van ant Liefie se gespook – ja, letterlik – om haar kamer in Huis Viljoenshof te behou? En Aletta se...

Billy Budd, Bartleby, and Other Stories

“Billy Budd” is the final work of American author Herman Melville which was discovered amongst his papers three decades after his death and first published in Raymond Weaver’s 1924 edition of “The Collected Works of Melville.” The emergence of that collection as well as Weaver’s 1921 biography, “Herman Melville: Man, Mariner and Mystic”, sparked a revival of interest in the forgotten writer. Despite the complex and incomplete nature of the manuscript excitement arose around this “new” Melville...

Bloedfamilie

Die kortverhale in hierdie debuutbundel vorm nie net tematies ’n eenheid nie, maar daar is terugkerende situasies en karakters: twee susters, waarvan een mooier en inkenniger is, ’n problematiese verhouding tussen ma en dogter, lesbiese verbintenisse en ’n onmag om deel van die konvensionele gesins- en familieopset te word. Verskeie sosiale en filosofiese kwessies word op ’n kompromislose en waagmoedige manier aangepak.
