Valentin Karl
Panoptikum neun stegreifkomodien
Munich: R. Piper 1952. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Minor stains to linen covers 1st edn 22 ill 217pps rare study of hi life and work in the cabaret. German text. Wikipedia: Valentin was a Bavarian comedian cabaret performer clown author and film producer. He had significant influence on German Weimar culture and starred in many silent films in the 1920s and was sometimes called the "Charlie Chaplin of Germany". His work has an essential influence on artists like Bertolt Brecht Samuel Beckett Loriot and Helge Schneider. In 1922 Brecht had appeared with Valentin and his teammate Lisle Karlstadt in a spoof of Munich's Oktoberfest. Brecht regularly watched Valentin perform his cabaret routines in Munich's beerhalls and compared him to Chaplin. Valentin's na�ve sense of humour produced sketches that in spirit were loosely connected to dadaism social expressionism and the Neue Sachlichkeit. Along with Karl Kraus he is considered a master of gallows humor. His art centered mostly around linguistic dexterity and wordplay�Valentin was a linguistic anarchist.The notable critic Alfred Kerr praised him as a Wortzerklauberer or someone who tears apart words and language to forcefully extract and dissect its inherent meaning.

Dust jacket unclipped and also as NEW condition. Now under mylar protective wrap. GIFT quality. "Kessler-Harris is right to argue that the life Hellman led �illuminates the world she confronted� most importantly the worlds of emerging women and of political fear and contention. Hellman�s insistence on economic liberation and self-sufficiency was sound and more realistic than the fuzzy ideology that so many feminists embraced. If only she had been able to keep a lid on her explosive temper and the �pain and anger� that set it off she might have carved a prominent place for herself not merely in the history of American women but in American history itself.".

Dienhart John M; Edited By Norgaard Nina
The Language of Riddles Humor and Literature
Odense: University Press of Southern Denmark 2010. Book. Like New. Paperback. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. This is a selection of essays in stylistics by John M. Dienhart 1939-2004 which are now collected for the first time. The essays investigate a variety of linguistic aspects of texts from different genres: from punning riddles and other kinds of humorous text to fictional prose and poetry. The essays are characterised by their pedagogical style and analytical insight and illustrate in an exemplary way how work in stylistics may simultaneously contribute to our understanding of a given text and of a particular linguistic phenomenon. John Dienhart was a dedicated linguist who loved his work and undertook all his projects with great commitment - a commitment and enthusiasm which are unmistakably evident in the essays of this book. 278pp. N.B.

Dust jacket is unclipped w truly minimal shelf wear now under mylar wrap. "Leni Riefenstahl "Hitler's filmmaker" remains one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century. Susan Sontag though one of her severest critics said that Triumph of the Will and Olympia Riefenstahl's most noted films "may be the two greatest documentaries ever made". Others see her story as an object lesson about opportunism: the story of an ambitious narcissist and unrepentant Nazi sympathizer whose glorifications of Hitler and the Third Reich helped pave the way for the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust. Bach lets the facts speak for themselves including many newly uncovered and the facts are rarely kind to Riefenstahl.We see Riefenstahl at the age of 100 as someone who could face the cameras to announce that as a member of Greenpeace she mourned the fates of sea creatures that die in transport from their native habitats to the aquariums of the world but could not express remorse for the millions of Jews gypsies and others murdered by the Third Reich and the Fuhrer she elevated to myth.".

German text but quite readable spine rebacked good example of German comprehensiveness in Altmann's survey. Paper slightly delicate. 1st edn rare. E. C. Leuckart Hardcover
