Featuring many rare works and a large-scale, previously forgotten masterwork, this wide-ranging yet intimate book reintroduces readers to one of the most versatile and beloved artists of the post-war era. Romanian-born Saul Steinberg (1914-1999) had one of the most remarkable careers in American art. While renowned for the covers and drawings that appeared in The New Yorker for nearly six decades, he was equally acclaimed for the drawings, paintings, prints, collages, and sculptures he exhibited internationally in galleries and museums. Through these parallel yet integrated careers, he crafted a rich, playful and constantly evolving visual language. Known to the larger public as the creator of the iconic View of the World from 9th Avenue , Steinberg lamented being most famous as "the man who drew that poster." This beautiful volume goes a long way toward correcting that limited perception. It brings together more than eighty works in a variety of media: collage, drawings, objects, and photographs. It also features Steinberg's astonishing mural, Art Viewers, a gigantic assemblage that was shown on a single occasion in 1966. This book is structured around three essays that explore the artist's use of symbols, his fascination with fakery and imitation, his musings on identity through the theme of the mask, and the autobiographical nature of his work.

The 20th century began with a host of question marks. The Enlightenment view of human rationality and goodness was questioned; the belief in natural rights and objective standards governing morality were attacked. Shattering old beliefs, this century left Europeans without landmarks, without generally accepted cultural standards or agreed upon conceptions about human beings and life¿s meaning. T.S. Eliot¿s ¿The Waste Land¿ is a realistic complex depiction of the post-War Western civilization, where people suffer from moral and spiritual decay. The poem is a lamentation over the devastations of the war, which left people with nothing except mourning the dead. It is also a sour commentary over the loss of moral values, the embracing of bestial way of life and the discrediting of traditional wisdom and values.

"Min mormor siger, at man får gule øjne af at se på efteråret og slør i blikket af at savne og fregner af at le. Til gengæld påstår min mor, at man aldrig bliver stor og stærk, hvis man ikke spiser sine havregryn." - Bogen foregår i slutningen af 50'erne og knytter sig til romanerne Zappa, Når snerlen blomstrer og Vi der valgte mælkevejen. Som i de andre bøger er det Bjørn, der er den helt centrale hovedperson, og vi følger ham fra han er 6 år og endnu ikke begyndt i skolen, til han går i 6. klasse. "Så mesterligt, så rørende og tragikomisk sandt ... den verden skildrer Reuter som ingen anden herhjemme." - Jens Andersen, Politiken. "Månen over Bella Bio er noget af det smukkeste, Reuter har skrevet." - Steffen Larsen, Aktuelt. "Bogen har hele eventyrets usvækkede glans ... det er med Bjarne Reuters bøger som med H. C. Andersens eventyr." - Preben Meulengracht, Jyllands-Posten.

The book will attempt to read, analyze and interpret three texts by Virginia Woolf: A Room of One¿s Own, Three Guineas and Mrs Dalloway in a material context where power and resistance stand in a dynamic relation where they almost mutually reinforce one another. In particular, it will reflect upon the construction of women involved in the process of reinventing themselves in the novels of Virginia Woolf in the light of ¿material¿ feminism because of the paramount importance it had on Woolf¿s vision and creativity.

This study examines the relationship between war and postcolonial identity in a range of African and American literature. This inquiry focuses on twentieth century ¿literature of the displaced author¿, as expressed in fictional writings which show the ways personal trauma are reflective of collective experience. This study explores the ways a number of indicative postcolonial writers have presented psychological and political consequences of post-war trauma across generations. It argues that World War I and World War II have had a profound impact on shaping the way life has been lived as seen in work by African writers such as Chinua Achebe, J.M. Coetzee, Nadine Gordimer, and Doris Lessing, and Americans, such as Saul Bellow, Don DeLillo, Cormac McCarthy, Philip Roth, Leslie Marmon Silko, and John Edgar Wideman. The argument proposes a method for reading canonical texts of postcolonial writers as narratives of protest, transgression, and regeneration.

Bildung (self-formation) is neglected in our era of modernity. Technique and the forces of production preoccupy the individual, robbing one of essential freedom to develop oneself and express one¿s uniqueness. Runhild Roeder recommends we assert our freedom, as artists do, to allow the ontological ground of truth to emerge in philosophy and every day life. She emphasizes that only in freedom can we demonstrate originality and consideration for each other. ¿Truth is an event.¿ (Gadamer) Between individuals, the social yarn can be rewoven in hermeneutic dialogue to counteract disenchantment that our humanity is suffering from due to a blind move towards technology. It is the irrepressible human spirit, at once universal and particular, that fulfils the task of Bildung in each context we find ourselves in.
