Der zwölfbändige Zyklus „Ein Tanz zur Musik der Zeit“ — aufgrund seiner inhaltlichen wie formalen Gestaltung immer wieder mit Marcel Prousts „Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit“ verglichen — gilt als das Hauptwerk des britischen Schriftstellers Anthony Powell und gehört zu den bedeutendsten Romanwerken des 20. Jahrhunderts. Inspiriert von dem gleichnamigen Bild des französischen Barockmalers Nicolas Poussin, zeichnet der Zyklus ein facettenreiches Bild der englischen Upperclass vom Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs bis in die späten sechziger Jahre. Aus der Perspektive des mit typisch britischem Humor und Understatement ausgestatteten Ich-Erzählers Jenkins — der durch so manche biografische Parallele wie Powells Alter Ego anmutet — bietet der „Tanz“ eine Fülle von Figuren, Ereignissen, Beobachtungen und Erinnerungen, die einen einzigartigen und aufschlussreichen Einblick geben in die Gedankenwelt der in England nach wie vor tonangebenden Gesellschaftsschicht mit ihren durchaus merkwürdigen Lebensgewohnheiten. So eröffnet Powell seinen „Tanz“ in dem Band „Eine Frage der Erziehung“ mit Szenen der Jugend: Jenkins in der Abschlussklasse des College, während eines Sprachaufenthalts in Frankreich sowie beim Five O’ Clock Tea seines Universitätsprofessors. Jahre später sehen wir ihn im zweiten Teil, „Tendenz: steigend“, auf Bällen und Partys der Oberklasse, aber auch der Boheme, wo er neue und immer wieder alte Bekannte trifft — sowie erste Liebschaften erlebt. Geheimnisvolle spiritistische Sitzungen und Dinnerpartys kennzeichnen den dritten Teil, „Die Welt des Wechsels“, bis im vierten, „Bei Lady Molly“, der Erzähler während eines Wochenendaufenthalts ein Schloss besucht, wo er seine zukünftige Frau kennenlernt. Der historische Hintergrund, die Jahre zwischen 1921 und 1934, scheint dabei immer wieder überraschend schlaglichtartig auf. In deutscher Sprache ist Powells „Tanz“ recht unbekannt geblieben, mangelte es doch bisher an einer Übersetzung des gesamten Zyklus. Drei Anläufe hat es in der Vergangenheit ge­ge­ben, alle scheiterten. Die hier vorgestellte Ausgabe startete im Oktober 2015 mit den Bän­den 1 bis 4. Sie basiert auf den in den 80er Jahren von Heinz Feldmann (geb. 1935) angefertigten und neu durch­gesehenen ersten drei Teilen. Bisher sind acht Bände erschienen. Die Bände 9 bis 12 werden in halb­jährlichem Rhythmus bis Herbst 2018 erscheinen — aus der Feder desselben Übersetzers, über den Anthony Powell in seinem Tagebuch vermerkte: “I am lucky to have him as a translator.“.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of our most iconic and influential writers, the award-winning author of The Year of Magical Thinking: a timeless collection that reveals what would become Joan Didion's subjects, including the press, politics, California robber barons, women, and her own self-doubt. "Didion’s remarkable, five decades-long career as a journalist, essayist, novelist, and screen writer has earned her a prominent place in the American literary canon, and the twelve early pieces collected here underscore her singularity."—O Magazine With a forward by Hilton Als, these pieces from 1968 to 2000, never before gathered together, offer an illuminating glimpse into the mind and process of a legendary figure. They showcase Joan Didion's incisive reporting, her empathetic gaze, and her role as "an articulate witness to the most stubborn and intractable truths of our time" (The New York Times Book Review). Here, Didion touches on topics ranging from newspapers ("the problem is not so much whether one trusts the news as to whether one finds it"), to the fantasy of San Simeon, to not getting into Stanford. In "Why I Write," Didion ponders the act of writing: "I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means." From her admiration for Hemingway's sentences to her acknowledgment that Martha Stewart's story is one "that has historically encouraged women in this country, even as it has threatened men," these essays are acutely and brilliantly observed. Each piece is classic Didion: incisive, bemused, and stunningly prescient.

Akademische Arbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Chemie - Biochemie, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In this article we report the isolation, characterization and evaluation of in vitro anti-colon cancer activity of a new gingerol derivative, namely (S,E)-5-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3- methoxyphenyl)tetradec-8-en-3-one, (N6), and a known sesquiterpene (1,2- Dihydroxybisabola-3,10-diene, N7), isolated from Zingiber officinale rhizomes for the first time, together with other five known compounds. 6-gingerol (N1), 8-gingerol (N2), 10- gingerol (N3), 4-gingerol (N4) and 4`-O-methyl-6-gingerol (N5). The isolated compounds were identified using different spectroscopic techniques (1D and 2D-NMR, MS and IR). A modified chromatographic method was established and optimized to isolate the major gingerols (N1, N2, and N3) in grams. Thereafter the cytotoxic activity of the isolated compounds was evaluated against colorectal carcinoma cell line, Caco-2. It was observed that anti-colon cancer activity of N2 was superior to that of 5-FU, the classic reference cytotoxic agent. Additionally, the length of the aliphatic chain in 8-gingerol (N2) is optimum for the anticancer activity and any decrease, as in N1 and N4, or increase, as in N3, in the side chain length leads to gradient decrease in the cytotoxic activity. Following this further, methylation of phenolic OH group (N5), leads to a dramatic decrease in the anticancer activity. Furthermore, loss of aromaticity (N7), results in complete loss of the cytotoxic activity. On the other hand, introducing a pi-bond in the aliphatic side chain enhances the anti-cancer activity as depicted in N6. Taken together, the aromaticity, the side chain length as well as the presence of free phenolic group contribute significantly to the anti-colon cancer activity of gingerol and its derivatives. These results open up a new window in the rational design of gingerol-based semisynthetic drugs with improved anticolon cancer activity.

Edición conmemorativa de los 125 años de la primera publicación, con las ilustraciones originales de Sidney Paget. «No se fíe nunca de las impresiones generales, amigo mío, y concéntrese en los detalles.' Los primeros relatos protagonizados por el emblemático personaje de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle se reúnen en esta edición conmemorativa para celebrar el 125 aniversario de su primera publicación. Las ilustraciones originales de Sidney Paget acompañan las historias como lo hicieron en la revista Strand a finales del siglo XIX. Esta edición permite saborear el atractivo original de un libro que consagró inmediatamente al detective más famoso del mundo. La espléndida traducción de Esther Tusquets acerca a los lectores a algunos de los cuentos de misterio y asesinatos más conocidos de Holmes, como La aventura de la banda de lunares, en el que las últimas palabras de una mujer y un inexplicable silbido en la noche son las únicas pistas, o Las cinco pepitas de naranja, donde una carta desvela una conspiración transatlántica. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his famous detective. Venture back in time to Victorian London to join literature's greatest detective team -- the brilliant Sherlock Holmes and his devoted assistant, Dr. Watson -- as they investigate a dozen of their best-known cases. Originally published in 1892, this is the first and best collection of stories about the legendary sleuth. It's also the least expensive edition available. Featured tales include several of the author's personal favorites: "A Scandal in Bohemia" -- in which a king is blackmailed by a former lover and Holmes matches wits with the only woman to attract his open admiration -- plus "The Speckled Band," "The Red-Headed League," and "The Five Orange Pips." Additional mysteries include "The Blue Carbuncle," "The Engineer's Thumb," "The Beryl Coronet," "The Copper Beeches," and four others.

A profound and intimate novel about a couple whose lives are completely altered after one of them is wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. “A moving portrayal of the effects of a wrongful conviction on a young African-American couple.” —Barack Obama Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to twelve years for a crime Celestial knows he didn’t commit. Though fiercely independent, Celestial finds herself bereft and unmoored, taking comfort in Andre, her childhood friend, and best man at their wedding. As Roy’s time in prison passes, she is unable to hold on to the love that has been her center. After five years, Roy’s conviction is suddenly overturned, and he returns to Atlanta ready to resume their life together. This stirring love story is a profoundly insightful look into the hearts and minds of three people who are at once bound and separated by forces beyond their control. An American Marriage is a masterpiece of storytelling, an intimate look deep into the souls of people who must reckon with the past while moving forward—with hope and pain—into the future. “Haunting ...

'You won't leave this hypnotic book without feeling that James Brown is still out there, howling.'-The Boston Globe From the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Lord Bird, winner of the 2013 National Book Award for Fiction, Deacon King Kong, and Five-Carat Soul Kill 'Em and Leave is more than a book about James Brown. Brown embodied the contradictions of American life: He was an unsettling symbol of the tensions between North and South, black and white, rich and poor. After receiving a tip that promises to uncover the man behind the myth, James McBride goes in search of the 'real' James Brown. McBride's travels take him to forgotten corners of Brown's never-before-revealed history, illuminating not only our understanding of the immensely troubled, misunderstood, and complicated Godfather of Soul, but the ways in which our cultural heritage has been shaped by Brown's enduring legacy.Praise for Kill 'Em and Leave'A tour de force of cultural reportage.'-The Seattle Times 'Thoughtful and probing.'-The New York Times Book Review 'Masterly . . . powerful.'-Los Angeles Review of Books 'McBride provides something lacking in most of the books about James Brown: an intimate feeling for the musician, a veracious if inchoate sense of what it was like to be touched by him. . . .
