Literature

Thomas Carlyle wrote 20 articles for the "Edinburgh Encyclopedia", and translated one other, from 1820-1823 as part of his "literary apprenticeship." Sixteen of these were gathered and republished in 1897, but never, we believe, have all twenty-one ever been published together. In this volume, Editor David A. Todd does just that. For those interested in Carlyle and his writings, this should be a convenient source for study of these early compositions, while Carlyle was just entering the world of literature and still trying to establish a style, cramped as it might be due to the constraints of an encyclopedia.

Literature

Georg Büchner (1813–1837) lebte nur 23 Jahre. Und doch gehört er zu den größten Dichtern der Literaturgeschichte. In seinem kurzen Leben schrieb er Theaterstücke, arbeitete als Arzt – und versuchte, mit seinem „Hessischen Landboten“ eine Revolution der unterdrückten Bauern anzuzetteln.

Auch heute ist Büchner so aktuell wie nie zuvor: Zeit seines Lebens kämpfte er für die Unterdrückten und Ausgebeuteten. Mit bissigem Humor entblößte er die herrschende Obrigkeit.

Die hier versammelten Zitate zeigen Büchners Kampfgeist, sein grandioses Sprachtalent und seinen einmaligen Humor.

Literature

You’re spending the night with friends, and all of you stay up really late, laughing and talking about people you know. Eventually, however, the discussion takes a turn toward the darkness, and you end up telling ghost stories. These are tales of weird things, scary things that science tells us can’t possibly be real. Can they? Many people claim to have been in haunted places, or encountered things that they can’t explain. Even trusted family members, who would never lie to us, will often tell stories that make us question what we think we believe about life, and death, and realms that may lie in between. We can laugh off such things in the cold reasonable daylight; but after the sun goes down, and we’re alone in a quiet place with our thoughts… then it’s not quite so amusing.
This volume is a followup to the successful ‘Scary Stories,’ and presents 25 more weird, frightening, but supposedly TRUE tales submitted by the readers of the Weird Encyclopedia. Even better than the first volume, it presents stranger encounters, darker entities, and more memorable haunts.
Whatever you do, don’t read it in the dark, alone.
