THE COLLECTION OF THE NEUE NATIONALGALERIE, BERLINThe Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, the last building designed by Mies van der Rohe, has been closed a full six years for refurbishment. To mark its reopening the museum is presenting the highlights of its classical modernist collection under the title "The Art of Society, 1900-1945". Visionary, critical, resigned or utopian, the paintings and sculptures bear witness to art's dialogue with prevailing social conditions - from the German Empire to the First World War, the Weimar Republic and ultimately National Socialism. The catalogue documenting all works in the exhibition traces the major artistic tendencies during the first half of the 20th century in thirteen chapters. "The Art of Society, 1900-1945" offers a renewed encounter with works by Edvard Munch, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Tamara de Lempicka, Lotte Laserstein, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Max Beckmann, and many others that is as captivating as it is illuminating.

Women around the globe, it’s time to finally speak up, speak out, be heard, become stronger than ever, and live more meaningful lives. Women encounter a myriad of obstacles, from sexual harassment to unequal pay to objectification and discrimination. But there are very specific tips that each woman, no matter her age or her station in life, can follow right now to make important and significant changes. In this book, women will learn to flex their mental muscles and hurdle over the roadblocks that keep them from achieving their greatest goals. While many people focus on what women should do to live their best lives, only one author will tell women in no uncertain terms which behaviors to avoid in order to become mentally strong.Now Amy Morin, psychotherapist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do, teaches women everywhere how to fortify themselves and face challenges in this powerful, necessary book for our time, breaking down the thirteen habits and mind-sets that women must avoid in order to master their mental strength. These thirteen tried-and-true principles show women how to tackle problems and tough situations in order to live their best—and most powerful—lives, and there’s no better guide through the process than Morin, the leading global voice on mental strength. Drawing on scientific evidence, case studies from her own patients, and even celebrity stories of hardship and triumph, Morin shows how mental strength can come from anywhere regardless of career, marriage, or family life. From introducing ways to stop blaming yourself to becoming a rule-breaker, Morin demonstrates how to navigate some of the hardest challenges that women face, while proposing experience-based solutions that promote mental fortitude. By integrating these easy-to-follow exercises and practical tips into daily life, Morin shows that mental strength is achievable—and necessary—to become a strong woman. In addition she discusses how mental strength practice can help with the difficult realities of sexism that still exist even in the era of the #MeToo movement and awareness of workplace harassment, providing specific strategies for dealing with these persistent issues. Featuring stories and experiences from dozens of women and offering a timely approach to the hard-hitting difficulties women are facing—including calling out sexism, fighting harassment, and finding confidence—Morin confronts the status quo by giving women the time, space, and energy to prioritize themselves. The end result frees you from the confusing practices and obstacles that women face every day, and helps inspire you to achieve the mental strength you need to create a life of authentic meaning and joy.

Auf 250 Seiten einmal durch 2000 Jahre deutscher Geschichte: Überzeugend und souverän führt James Hawes von den alten Römern bis in die Gegenwart. Eine große Tour durch die Jahrhunderte, die in einer leidenschaftlichen Hommage an die Bundesrepublik endet. Der Sieg gegen die Römer im Teutoburger Wald, die barbarische Grausamkeit des Dreißigjährigen Kriegs, der Aufstieg des militaristischen Preußens im 18. Jahrhundert - wie Blitzlichter scheinen diese historischen Ereignisse in James Hawes' fulminantem Parforceritt durch die deutsche Geschichte auf. Die alles beherrschende Frage, die sich wie ein roter Faden durch die Seiten zieht: Gehört das Herzstück Europas zum Westen oder zum Osten? Für Hawes ist klar, dass dieses Land zum Westen zählt. Die Bundesrepublik, so wie wir sie kennen, sieht er in der Tradition des wahren, historischen Deutschlands, dem Staatshörigkeit, puritanischer Eifer und narben gesichtiger Militarismus stets fremd waren. Hawes ist sich sicher: Deutschland ist heute »Europas größte Hoffnung«.

Mit 335 farbigen Abbildungen und 8 Karten. Vom Autor des internationalen Bestsellers "Eine Geschichte der Welt in 100 Objekten"Deutschlands Geschichte ist stärker zersplittert als die der meisten anderen europäischen Länder. Seine Grenzen waren oft in Bewegung, und die längste Zeit der letzten 500 Jahre bestand es aus einem bunten Mos aik von politischen Gebilden. Doch es gibt auch Erinnerungen, die allen Deutschen gemeinsam sind - Erinnerungen einer Nation. Neil MacGregor stellt sie uns vor in einem Buch über Deutschland, wie es noch nie eines gab.

Im Februar 1854, wenige Wochen vor Robert Schumanns Einweisung in die Nervenheilanstalt in Endenich, entstanden seine Variationen über ein Thema in Es-dur. Aufgrund der menschlich ungemein bewegenden Ereignisse dieser Tage hütete Clara Schumann die Manuskripte dieser ihr gewidmeten, später "Geistervariationen" genannten, letzten Klavierkomposition ihres Mannes gewissermaßen wie Reliquien und untersagte auch jede Veröffentlichung. Erst 1939 erschien die Erstausgabe, die in vielen Belangen nicht dem von Schumann Aufgezeichneten entspricht. Die Henle Urtextausgabe stützt sich erstmals auf alle erreichbaren Primärquellen; sie stellt de facto die einzige verlässliche Urtextausgabe dieses in den letzten Jahren immer häufiger zu hörenden Werks dar.

Mit den drei Sätzen Pagodes, La soirée dans Grenade (Ein Abend in Granada) und Jardins sous la pluie (Gärten im Regen) lässt Debussy im Zyklus Estampes in Bildern eine poetische Welt aus Landschaften und fernen Ländern entstehen. Er komponierte die Stücke im Sommer 1903 während eines Aufenthalts in Bichain im nördlichen Burgund. Von dort bekräftigt er in einem Brief: "Wenn man sich Reisen nicht leisten kann, muss man sie durch Fantasie ersetzen." Im virtuosen Schlusssatz knüpft er an seine zukunftsweisenden Images aus dem Jahr 1894 (HN 846) an.

"In 2009, while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, Robert Moor began to wonder about the paths that lie beneath our feet: How do they form? Why do some improve over time while others fade? What makes us follow or strike off on our own? Over the course of the next seven years, Moor traveled the globe, exploring trails of all kinds, from the miniscule to the massive. He learned the tricks of master trail-builders, hunted down long-lost Cherokee trails, and traced the origins of our road networks and the Internet. In each chapter, Moor interweaves his adventures with findings from science, history, philosophy, and nature writing--combining the nomadic joys of Peter Matthiessen with the eclectic wisdom of Lewis Hyde's The Gift. Throughout, Moor reveals how this single topic--the oft-overlooked trail--sheds new light on a wealth of age-old questions: How does order emerge out of chaos? How did animals first crawl forth from the seas and spread across continents? How has humanity's relationship with nature and technology shaped the world around us? And, ultimately, how does each of us pick a path through life? With a breathtaking arc that spans from the dawn of animal life to the digital era, On Trails is a book that makes us see our world, our history, our species, and our ways of life anew"--Book jacket flap.

Als Auftakt einer ganzen Serie antijudaistischer Schriften, welche auf die Dämonisierung und Vertreibung von Juden aus evangelisch-christlichen Gebieten abzielte, entfaltete Luthers Rhetorik beginnend mit den Erlassen reformatorischer Machthaber des 16. Jahrhunderts (Braunschweig, Meißen, Kursachsen) eine verhängnisvolle Wirkungsgeschichte, die bis zum Nationalsozialismus reicht. Anknüpfungspunkte fanden sich vor allem im umfassenden Maßnahmenkatalog des letzten Teils des Buches »Von den Juden und ihren Lügen«, in dem unter anderem die Verbrennung von Synagogen und Büchern, Lehrverbot und Zwangsarbeit für Juden gefordert werden. Dieser wird hier ebenso ungekürzt wiedergegeben wie die derbe, oft unflätige Sprache Luthers. Gerade deswegen fordert »Von den Juden und ihren Lügen« eine Debatte, die nicht auf Grundlage ihrer letzten Bearbeitung von 1936 geführt werden darf. Die Übertragung und Kommentierung aus Sicht der jüdischen Literatur stellt eine einzigartige Möglichkeit des Eingedenkens und der Auseinandersetzung mit einer Schattenseite der Reformation dar, die zu lange ungenutzt geblieben ist.

“Unconventional. . . . Not a garden-variety rock memoir . . . [but] a strange and lovely book about  a woman finding and losing herself onstage and off and crafting a complicated creative life when  none of the molds quite fit.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review“Engaging and surprisingly intimate.”—Vanity Fair“More than a memoir, though one of the most riveting music biographies ever penned.”—Examiner.comFor many, Kim Gordon, vocalist, bassist, and founding member of Sonic Youth—one of the most influential and successful bands to emerge from the post-punk New York scene—has always represented the epitome of cool. And almost as celebrated as the band’s defiantly dissonant sound was the marriage between Gordon and her then husband, Thurston Moore. When it was announced that the couple was splitting after twenty-seven years of marriage, fans were devastated.In Girl in a Band, this famously reserved superstar speaks candidly about her past and the future. From her childhood in the sunbaked suburbs of Southern California, growing up with a mentally ill sibling, to New York’s downtown art and music scene in the eighties and nineties and the birth of a band that would pave the way for acts like Nirvana, as well as help inspire the Riot Grrl generation, here is an edgy and evocative portrait of a life in art.Exploring the artists, musicians, and writers who influenced her, and the relationship that defined her life for so long, Girl in a Band is filled with the sights and sounds of a pre-Internet world and is a deeply personal portrait of a woman who has become an icon.

National Best Seller From the National Book Award-winning author of Just Kids: an unforgettable odyssey of a legendary artist, told through the prism of the cafés and haunts she has worked in around the world. It is a book Patti Smith has described as "a roadmap to my life." M Train begins in the tiny Greenwich Village café where Smith goes every morning for black coffee, ruminates on the world as it is and the world as it was, and writes in her notebook. Through prose that shifts fluidly between dreams and reality, past and present, and across a landscape of creative aspirations and inspirations, we travel to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico; to a meeting of an Arctic explorer's society in Berlin; to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York's Far Rockaway that Smith acquires just before Hurricane Sandy hits; and to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima. Woven throughout are reflections on the writer's craft and on artistic creation. Here, too, are singular memories of Smith's life in Michigan and the irremediable loss of her husband, Fred Sonic Smith. Braiding despair with hope and consolation, illustrated with her signature Polaroids, M Train is a meditation on travel, detective shows, literature, and coffee. It is a powerful, deeply moving book by one of the most remarkable multiplatform artists at work today.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: "Beautifully told."-CNN • "A remarkable story...worth retelling and celebrating."-USA Today • "Oh, it's a good one!"-Fox News A "beautiful story of a brotherhood between enemies" emerges from the horrors of World War II in this New York Times bestseller by the author of Spearhead. December, 1943: A badly damaged American bomber struggles to fly over wartime Germany. At the controls is twenty-one-year-old Second Lieutenant Charlie Brown. Half his crew lay wounded or dead on this, their first mission. Suddenly, a Messerschmitt fighter pulls up on the bomber's tail. The pilot is German ace Franz Stigler-and he can destroy the young American crew with the squeeze of a trigger...What happened next would defy imagination and later be called "the most incredible encounter between enemies in World War II."The U.S. 8th Air Force would later classify what happened between them as "top secret." It was an act that Franz could never mention for fear of facing a firing squad. It was the encounter that would haunt both Charlie and Franz for forty years until, as old men, they would search the world for each other, a last mission that could change their lives forever.

Timed to the twentieth anniversary of Miles Davis's death, Miles is the classic, unfiltered, bestselling autobiography of an American legend--now updated with a new introduction.

Brilliant, funny, charming, imperious, Diana Vreeland—the fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar and editor-in-chief of Vogue—was a woman whose passion and genius for style helped define the world of high fashion for fifty years. Among her eclectic circle of friends were some of the most renowned and famous figures of the twentieth century—artists and princes, movie stars and international legends, including Chanel, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Isak Dinesen, Clark Gable, and Swifty Lazar.Moving from English palaces to the nightclubs of 1930s Paris, the wilds of Wyoming to the exclusive venues of New York high society, D.V. takes readers into this iconic woman's dazzling life, evoking the luxury and brio of an era that encompassed Josephine Baker, England's Queen Mary, Buffalo Bill, and Diaghilev.Vibrant with the vivid, irresistible voice that elevated every tête-à-tête and dinner party, D.V. brings this renowned and uninhibited raconteur alive, whether recalling herself as a young girl, her search for the perfect red, her piquant observations about her world, or her abhorrence for nostalgia. Like her legacy, Vreeland's story, told in her own words, is a classic to be celebrated by both loyal admirers and a new generation of culture mavens and style savants.

Online-Tutorial verfügbar bei Henle Masterclass Wie viele Klaviervirtuosen seiner Zeit träumte auch Robert Schumann davon, sich dem Publikum als Pianist und Komponist zugleich in einem eigenen Klavierkonzert zu präsentieren. Bereits in jungem Alter unternahm er erste Versuche. In den folgenden Jahren fühlte er sich jedoch zunehmend von der Idee einer formal freieren Konzeption angezogen. Aus dem Entwurf einer einsätzigen "Phantasie" entstand schließlich der Kopfsatz des berühmten Werkes, das hiermit erstmals in einer praktischen Urtextausgabe vorgelegt wird. Für den Fingersatz konnte die weltweit gefeierte Pianistin Mitsuko Uchida gewonnen werden. Partitur und Orchestermaterial sind bei Breitkopf & Härtel erschienen.
