A new, unread book in excellent condition. Full red cloth boards with gilt titles and pasted-down illustration. Gray linen endpapers. Text in Japanese. 6"w x 9"h. 126 pages. A collection of the pop surrealist master's work. "Blending themes of pop culture with techniques reminiscent of the old masters, Mark Ryden has created a singular style that blurs the traditional boundaries between high and low art. His work first garnered attention in the 1990s when he ushered in a new genre of painting, "Pop Surrealism", dragging a host of followers in his wake. Ryden has trumped the initial surrealist strategies by choosing subject matter loaded with cultural connotation." [Ryden website]

Gutes Exemplar; Umschlag mit m. kl. Läsuren; Besitzerstempel auf Vorsatz. - (Arbeits-)Exemplar mit Beilagen. - Karl Abraham (* 3. Mai 1877 in Bremen; † 25. Dezember 1925 in Berlin) war ein deutscher Neurologe und Psychiater und als solcher ein bedeutender Vertreter der Psychoanalyse und deren Wegbereiter in Deutschland. ... (wiki) // Die Autorin dieses Buches, Hilda C. Abraham, geb. 1907 in Zürich, war die Tochter des ersten deutschen Psychoanalytikers Dr. Karl Abraham. Sie wuchs in Berlin auf, studierte dort Medizin und wurde nach ihrer Emigration Lehranalytikerin der British Psychoanalytical Society in London. Dort starb sie am 3. Oktober 1971 und hinterließ die fast vollendete Biographie ihres Vaters, die der Kindler Verlag hier vorlegt. Karl Abraham wurde am 3. Mai 1877 in Bremen geboren, drei Tage vor Sigmund Freuds 21. Geburtstag. Karl Abraham hatte in Würzburg und in Freiburg Medizin studiert. Nach intensiver Tätigkeit an der psychiatrischen Anstalt "Burghölzli" in Zürich als Assistenzarzt unter Eugen Bleuler und C. G. Jung als Oberarzt wurde er zu einem der ersten Weggenossen Freuds, dem er bis zu seinem frühen Tod am Weihnachtstag des Jahres 1925 aus wissenschaftlicher Überzeugung und freundschaftlicher Treue verbunden blieb. Karl Abraham hatte sich zum Jahreswechsel 1907/08 als Psychiater und Neurologe in Berlin am Schöneberger Ufer niedergelassen und schon 1908 die erste Zusammenkunft der Berliner Psychoanalytischen Vereinigung abgehalten. Von Berlin aus trieb Abraham die Verbreitung der Psychoanalyse in Deutschland durch sein persönliches Engagement als führender Kopf voran, so daß bereits 1920 von ihm und Dr. Max Eitingon das Berliner Psychoanalytische Institut als erste Lehrstätte in der Welt und als Modell aller zukünftigen gegründet werden konnte. Vierzehn Jahre vor Freuds Tod in London starb sein wohl bedeutendster Schüler Karl Abraham in Berlin. Das Buch wird durch ein hier erstmals veröffentlichtes Dokument ergänzt - eine Aufzeichnung Karl Abrahams über einen neurotischen Kindheitskonflikt seiner Tochter Hilda.

Da sempre considerato il più grande presidente della storia degli Stati Uniti e mitizzato come ‘emancipatore’ degli schiavi, Lincoln è una figura storica affascinante, ma spesso sfuggente, dal carattere inquieto e tormentato, che si può capire pienamente solo inserendolo nel suo contesto storico. Nato e cresciuto agli inizi dell’Ottocento in una famiglia povera di pionieri, Lincoln sembrò incarnare il mito americano del self-made man, riuscendo a diventare un avvocato di grido nell’Illinois in un momento in cui la nazione statunitense diventava sempre più ricca e potente ed allo stesso tempo sempre più lacerata dai contrasti scaturiti dall’industrializzazione incipiente nel Nord e dall’espansione della schiavitù nel Sud. Successivamente, Lincoln scalò i gradini del potere politico fino a diventare Presidente, mentre la grande lotta tra la libertà e la schiavitù divenne il punto centrale della vita politica, sociale ed economica degli Stati Uniti e provocò infine la Guerra Civile (1861-1865), che costituì il momento centrale del processo di formazione della nazione statunitense. A questo processo, Lincoln diede un contributo fondamentale e indelebile, riunificando il paese al prezzo di centinaia di migliaia di morti e mantenendo in vita gli ideali della repubblica democratica americana, creando, quindi, le basi della futura egemonia statunitense nel mondo contemporaneo. Non solo, con la sua legislazione a favore dell’emancipazione, Lincoln diede un contributo decisivo anche alla creazione di un mondo nel quale la libertà è ora riconosciuta come un diritto fondamentale e la schiavitù è considerata illegale. Autori: Enrico Dal Lago.
Le presidenze di John Fitzgerald Kennedy e di Abraham Lincoln sono ricordate per i grandi cambiamenti storici che esse introdussero nella società americana. Ma è davvero possibile considerare questi leader come rivoluzionari sovvertitori della tradizione degli Stati Uniti? L'analisi concreta della politica dei due grandi presidenti rivela aspetti sorprendenti e per certi versi mai indagati, che permettono di stabilire fino a che punto il mito che accompagna le loro figure sia davvero giustificato dalla concreta politica che essi seguirono. Il testo concilia profonda scorrevolezza e facilità di lettura con precisione storica e attenzione alle figure che accompagnarono la vita prematuramente interrotta di Lincoln e Kennedy, due protagonisti uniti da un filo che, attraverso un secolo di storia, segna il coraggio delle loro azioni e la drammaticità della loro fine, proiettandone il carisma fino ai nostri tempi. La storia può talvolta essere ripercorsa con le forme di un racconto senza rinunciare a conclusioni documentate, serie e innovative. Autori: Marco Casetta.
br. In una biografia rigorosa lo storico James McPherson racconta la gloriosa avventura umana di Abraham Lincoln, il sedicesimo presidente americano che con la sua guida seppe porre le basi per il formidabile sviluppo degli Stati Uniti contemporanei. Sullo sfondo di una Federazione ancora in costruzione, il libro ripercorre gli eventi fondamentali della vita di Lincoln: la sua affermazione professionale come avvocato, la risolutezza come comandante in capo durante la Guerra civile americana, l'abilità con cui riuscì a destreggiarsi tra separatisti e unionisti per mantenere l'equilibrio della nazione, la determinazione che lo portò a vincere la battaglia per l'abolizione della schiavitù. Nella narrazione di McPherson, episodi celebri come il Proclama di emancipazione si intrecciano con dettagli inediti sulla suggestiva personalità di Lincoln, per restituire vivida e reale la grandezza di un leader che ha contribuito a trasformare gli Stati Uniti nella potenza mondiale di oggi.
br. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), con Washington e F.D. Roosevelt il più famoso presidente degli Stati Uniti, incarna il mito della frontiera e dell'uomo che si fa da sé: dalle foreste del West al Campidoglio, da contadino a presidente. Eletto nel 1860, dovette affrontare la crisi della nazione americana precipitata nella sanguinosissima guerra civile seguita alla secessione degli stati schiavisti. Nel farlo rafforzò il potere federale, modernizzò l'economia e liberò i 4.000.000 di schiavi presenti nel Sud; ma pagò i suoi successi con la vita, assassinato pochi giorni dopo la conclusione della guerra. Il libro delinea il ritratto coinvolgente di un uomo complicato, depresso cronico e quasi insondabile, intrecciandolo alla storia violenta, vitale e contraddittoria di un paese in formazione.
ill., br. Durante la guerra civile, Lincoln dovette affrontare problemi assai complessi. Commise, immancabilmente, degli errori ma da essi seppe imparare. E svolse al meglio le funzioni militari e politiche del comandante in capo: dominò il dibattito politico a Washington, definì una strategia di guerra per la nazione, contribuì alla scelta delle tattiche militari da applicare. Anche l'abolizione della schiavitù divenne un passaggio della strategia militare e politica di Lincoln. Il presidente si dimostrò anche in grado di far fronte alla trasformazione del conflitto: dal tradizionale bellicismo caratterizzato da obiettivi e mezzi limitati alla prima guerra totale della storia, che distrusse la vecchia Unione e ne costruì una nuova e migliore sulle sue ceneri.
