Jerusalem - Eller Om Religiös Makt Och Judendom
Moses Mendelssohn (17291786) var sin tids främste judiske tänkare och samtidigt en ledande företrädare för den tyska upplysningen. I Jerusalem eller om religiös makt och judendom från 1783 försöker han förena sin judiska tro med upplysningens idéer genom att visa att tro och förnuft, kyrka och stat, religion och politik rör olika områden av människans liv. Boken är ett centralt dokument i toleransens och mångkulturalismens historia och en tankeväckande läsning för alla som funderar över religionens plats i samhället. Den innehåller också ett rikt mått av uppslag om alltifrån de mänskliga rättigheternas ursprung till språkets natur och judendomens äldre historia. Allt skrivet på en medryckande och lidelsefull filosofisk prosa. Jerusalem ges härmed ut för första gången i svensk översättning. För översättningen svarar Staffan Vahlquist som också har skrivit ett förord och kommentarer till texten. Moses Mendelssohn föddes i Dessau 1729 och dog i Berlin 1786. Efter en klassisk skolning i den judiska lärda traditionen flyttade han som fjortonåring till Berlin, där han kom i kontakt med upplysningens idéer och lärde känna flera av den tidens tongivande tyska filosofer och författare. Snart började han publicera sina skrifter på tyska, vilket var banbrytande för en jude vid denna tid, och med boken Faidon eller om själens odödlighet från 1767 nådde han berömmelse över hela Europa. Hans dubbla position som ryktbar filosof och bekännande jude gjorde honom till en viktig förbindelselänk mellan den tyska, kristna majoriteten och den judiska minoriteten. Boken Jerusalem eller om religiös makt och judendom från 1783 är hans filosofiska testamente och räknas som hans viktigaste verk.

Complete Songs without Words for Piano
Mendelssohn's Lieder Ohne Worte, or 'Songs without Words,' is among the most loved, most played collections in the Romantic piano repertoire. Reproduced from the authoritative Breitkopf & Hartel edition, this volume contains all of these popular compositions -- more than 40 pieces, including such favorites as Spinning Song, Spring Song, and Venetian Gondola Song. Composed at various points throughout his life, Mendelssohn compiled this collection of short works for the amateur pianist looking for high quality, yet not-to-difficult music. Still practiced and performed today, 'Songs without Words' is often considered to be Mendelssohn's greatest legacy as a composer. For study or play, this work represents and admirable addition to any music library.

Making Oscar Wilde
Witty, inspiring, and charismatic, Oscar Wilde is one of the Greats of English literature. Today, his plays and stories are beloved around the world. But it was not always so. His afterlife has given him the legitimacy that life denied him. Making Oscar Wilde reveals the untold story of young Oscar's career in Victorian England and post-Civil War America. Set on two continents, this book tracks a larger-than-life hero on an unforgettable adventure to make his name and gain international acclaim. 'Success is a science,' Wilde believed, 'if you have the conditions, you get the result.' Combining new evidence and gripping cultural history, Michèle Mendelssohn dramatizes Wilde's rise, fall, and resurrection as part of a spectacular transatlantic pageant. With superb style and an instinct for story-telling, she brings to life the charming young Irishman who set out to captivate the United States and Britain with his words and ended up conquering the world. Following the twists and turns of

Adolescent Breakdown and Beyond
This is the second monograph published by Karnac Books on behalf of the Brent Adolescent Centre/Centre for Research into Adolescent Breakdown. Drawing on the Centre's unique pool of expertise in the field, this book contains papers giving up-to-date psychodynamic perspectives on adolescent breakdown by leading clinical experts. These cover a range of topics, such as the differing developments in male and female adolescents, and the particular problems of psychotherapeutic intervention with them. It also includes the proceedings of a conference on the subject held in October 1995. Here the issues of adolescent breakdown are discussed in the wider context which workers in the caring professions must consider. Overall, this volume provides a concise, contemporary overview of a topic whose importance is increasingly being recognized both inside and outside the psychotherapeutic community.Contributors:Anthony Bateman, Debbie Bandler Bellman, Gabrielle Crockatt, Maxim de Sauma, Domenico di

Snakepit
Praised on both sides of the Atlantic as well as in the author's native Uganda, Moses Isegawa's first novel Abyssinian Chronicles was a 'big, transcendently ambitious book' (Boston Globe) that 'blasts open the tidy borders of the conventional novel and redraws the literary map to reveal a whole new world' (Elle). In Snakepit, Isegawa returns to the surreal, brutalizing landscapes of his homeland during the time of dictator Idi Amin, when interlocking webs of emotional cruelty kept tyrants gratified and servants cooperative, a land where no one-not husbands or wives, parents or lovers-is ever safe from the implacable desires of men in power. Men like General Bazooka, who rues the day he hired Cambridge-educated Bat Katanga as his 'Bureaucrat Two'-a man too good at his job-and places in his midst (and his bed) a seductive operative named Victoria, whose mission and motives are anything but simple. Ambitious and acquisitive, more than a little arrogant, Katanga finds himself steadily
