From wiki: “A Cure for Wellness is a 2016 psychological horror film directed by Gore Verbinski and written by Justin Haythe. Haythe and Verbinski were inspired by Thomas Mann's 1924 novel The Magic Mountain while coming up with the idea for the film.[3] Starring Dane DeHaan, Jason Isaacs, and Mia Goth, the plot follows a young executive who is sent to retrieve his company's CEO from a mysterious rehabilitation center in the Swiss Alps.”Also discussed: Obsession discourse, Ken Russell's unmade Dracula script, The Cars That Ate Paris, Death Race 2000, Mouse Hunt, Steven Spielberg, Gore Verbinski, Miracle Mile, Helter Skelter (2012), and more.

El calendario de eliminatorias sigue avanzando y este lunestenemos un partido de alto calibre: Alemania contra Paraguay. Dos naciones con historias muy distintas, pero con una enorme fuerza cultural. En nuestro terreno literario, traemos un verdadero choque detitanes: Por Alemania, uno de los monumentos de la literaturauniversal: Thomas Mann y su obra maestra “La montaña mágica”. Por Paraguay, el gigante de las letras latinoamericanas,Augusto Roa Bastos, con su revolucionaria novela “Yo el supremo”. Dos libros colosales, dos formas completamente diferentes de entender el tiempo, el poder y la condición humana. Thomas Mann nos encierra en un sanatorio en los Alpes suizosy, con una prosa elegante, irónica y profunda, explora las ideas de una Europa que está a punto de explotar. Tiempo, enfermedad, amor, filosofía y la decadencia de una civilización. Es una novela monumental, casi sinfonía. Roa Bastos, en cambio, nos mete de lleno en la mente de undictador absoluto. Con un lenguaje experimental, salvaje y genial, desarma el poder, la palabra y la historia paraguaya. “Yo el supremo” es un torrente verbal, un monólogo del poder que todavía hoy sigue estremeciendo. Uno construye una montaña de ideas. El otro desmonta unmonumento al autoritarismo con la fuerza de la palabra misma. ¿Quién se lleva la victoria en este duelo literario degigantes? ¿La elegancia intelectual de Thomas Mann o la potencia telúrica y experimental de Augusto Roa Bastos?

Obra cumbre del premio Nobel alemán Thomas Mann
Videobeschreibung Wenn Sie sich auch nur ein bisschen auskennen in der deutschen Literatur, genügen Ihnen zwei, drei Sätze, um einen Text von Thomas Mann, von Franz Kafka, von Thomas Bernhard oder von Peter Stamm zu erkennen. Obwohl alle vier in derselben Sprache schreiben, drücken sie sich völlig unterschiedlich darin aus. Anders gesagt: Ihr Sprachstil unterscheidet sich. Auf Englisch spricht man von der eigenen Stimme, «his own voice». Das ist ein schöner Ausdruck: Mein eigener Sprachstil ist tatsächlich meine eigene Stimme. Diese individuelle sprachliche Stimme ist keine Einbildung: Der Sprachstil lässt sich mathematisch vermessen. Wie gut das funktioniert, zeigte 2013 der Fall um den Roman «The Cuckoo's Calling», also: Der Ruf des Kuckucks, von einem Autor namens Robert Galbraith. Bald wurde gemunkelt, es handle sich dabei um ein Pseudonym von J.K. Rowling. Ein amerikanischer Computerlinguist analysierte die Sprache des Romans und verglich ihn mit J.K. Rowlings Büchern und mit Werken anderer Krimiautorinnen. Die sprachstatistische Analyse zeigte, dass der Roman stilistisch deutlich näher bei J.K. Rowling lag als bei jeder der Vergleichsautorinnen. Wir alle erzeugen beim Schreiben offenbar einen eindeutigen sprachlichen Fingerabdruck, eine Sprachsignatur, die unseren Stil oder eben: unsere sprachliche Stimme ausmacht. Doch diese eigene Stimme ist in Gefahr: Die redigierende und korrigierende KI mittet Sprache ein und bügelt Eigenheiten weg. Wir hinterlassen sprachlich keine Fingerabdrücke mehr – es ist, als würden wir alle Plastikhandschuhe tragen beim Schreiben. Ich zeige Ihnen deshalb diese Woche, welche Elemente den eigenen Sprachstil ausmachen und ich biete Ihnen mit meinem Stil-O-Meter ein digitales Werkzeug, mit dem Sie Ihren eigenen Sprachstil vermessen und verbessern können.woko2624Matthias Zehnder ist Autor und Medienwissenschaftler in Basel.

In this episode, we delve into another German classic: Thomas Mann's Death in Venice. Published in 1911, this novella tells the story of an ageing author and his trip to Venice which - plot twist - is his slow journey into death. We discuss the story's problematic main character, Mann's writing style, how it was a short but tough read, and how death is foreshadowed in the text. In our segment Top or Flop, we tell you about our month's favourite reads and least loved books and answer a spontaneous bookish question.Find us on Instagram @ThroughthePagesPod and let us know what you thought about this novella.

Paola Capriolo, Teresa Maresca"Il canto della luna"Con la traduzione dal tedesco del "Canto della terra" di Gustav MahlerBibliotheka Edizioniwww.bibliotheka.itNell'autunno 1907 fu pubblicata in Germania l'antologia Il flauto cinese, un centinaio di liriche di autori compresi tra il XII secolo a. C. e l'epoca contemporanea. Gustav Mahler ne venne a conoscenza e l'incontro con quelle poesie ebbe un immediato riflesso sulla sua opera. Nel 1908, sulle Dolomiti, dove trascorse le ultime estati della sua vita, compose infatti il ciclo di lieder Il Canto della Terra, basato su sette poesie della raccolta, traendo spunto per la maggior parte da Li Po (702 – 763). L'ombra fascinosa e potente di uno dei capolavori della musica del ‘900 ha suggerito alla scrittrice Paola Capriolo e all'artista Teresa Maresca un libro a quattro mani che intreccia in modo personalissimo e originale letteratura, pittura e musica.Paola Capriolo vive e lavora a Milano.Ha esordito nel 1988 con i racconti de La Grande Eulalia (Premio Berto), in seguito Il Nocchiero (Premio Rapallo, Premio Selezione Campiello), Il Doppio Regno (Premio Grinzane Cavour), e, tra gli altri, Una Luce Nerissima, Il Pianista Muto, Mi ricordo, Marie e il signor Mahler, Irina Nikolaevna.Tutti i suoi romanzi sono stati tradotti in molte lingue. Ha tradotto classici della letteratura tedesca, tra cui Goethe, Kafka, Kleist, Thomas Mann. Teresa Maresca vive a Milano dagli anni '80.Con una pittura figurativa e visionaria lavora sui temi del paesaggio, spesso rivisto attraverso la memoria cinematografica o la poesia.Hanno scritto di lei Carlo Sini, Sergio Givone, Lalla Romano, Roberto Sanesi, Paolo Biscottini.Ha pubblicato il libro Il Primitivo del Sogno su arte, natura e pensiero primitivo e ha in preparazione la mostra-installazione Stars&Bones per la Fabbrica del Vapore di Milano.

Musik und Literatur – bei kaum einem Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts fließen beide Kunstformen so eng zusammen wie in den Texten von Thomas Mann. Ob er als Essayist über die Opern von Richard Wagner schreibt, ob er in den Buddenbrooks den kleinen Hanno am Klavier fantasieren lässt oder im Davoser Berg-Sanatorium ein ganzes Kapitel dem Hören von Schallplatten widmet – Musik war für Thomas Mann ein „Lebenselixier“. Kein Wunder also, dass er im fortgeschrittenen Alter mit „Doktor Faustus“ einen ganzen Musiker-Roman geschrieben hat, die fiktive Biografie eines Komponisten. In unserer Reihe „Klassiker der Musik-Literatur“ stellt uns das Buch Christoph Vratz vor – für ihn ist „Doktor Faustus“ einer der Meilensteine der Musik-Literatur.

Silvia Bortoli"Come il cane è arrivato tra noi ed è rimaasto"Quodlibetwww.quodlibet.it«Cedesi cane per il resto educatissimo e che alla parola Fermo! si fa statua di sale.»Ci sono decisioni che alle persone ragionevoli possono sembrare avventate, come accogliere un cucciolo di Jack Russell in una casa in cui la demenza mette già a dura prova l'equilibrio e la resistenza della famiglia. La quotidianità è già costretta e faticosa, le relazioni sociali praticamente svanite, la solitudine grande, e un cane di tre mesi con le sue intemperanze non può che complicare le giornate e aumentare la fatica, ma porta nuova vita e nuove relazioni che sostituiscono in parte quelle perdute, con altri cani, con altri ambienti, con padroni (o «genitori», come a volte chiamano sé stessi) di altri cani; si imparano cose che non si sapevano, non solo sui cani, ma sulle persone e su mondi ai quali la vita precedente la malattia non avrebbe dato accesso e che portano inaspettatamente amicizia e sollievo. E soprattutto, come dice Jon, uno dei passanti che si incontrano in questo libro, prendere un cane in una situazione difficile è forse un azzardo, ma in fin dei conti la cosa migliore da fare: «perché i cani ci parlano e ci consolano e ci guariscono dalle malattie dell'anima».Silvia Bortoli è nata a Venezia nel 1946, ha vissuto a lungo a Milano, a Napoli e a Benevento e da qualche anno è tornata a vivere a Milano. Ha pubblicato poesia (Tutti i fiumi), racconti e romanzi brevi (L'inesperienza, Percezioni variabili, Quattro giorni a marzo, Mentre il poeta si allontana piange, Come sono finita dove sono finita).Ha tradotto letteratura tedesca per le maggiori case editrici italiane; tra i suoi autori Heinrich Böll, Thomas Mann, Theodor Fontane, Friedrich Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin, Ingeborg Bachmann, Wim Wenders.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
Cristina Araújo Gámir ha llegado a la literatura para quedarse mucho tiempo. Su primera novela 'Mira a esa chica' fue Premio Tusquets en 2022. Ahora presenta su segunda novela 'Distancia de fuga' (Tusquets) que es un "novelón" de amor que podría haberse escrito en el siglo XIX, pero con personajes y temáticas del XIX. Una historia donde la fama, la salud mental y las pasiones están muy presentes. Espectacular para nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio. Además de su libro, Cristina donó para nuestras estanterías 'Los cuentos' de Thomas Mann (DeBolsillo). Antes Martínez Asensio nos conto en tres minutos 'Ensayo sobre la ceguera' de José Saramago (Alfaguara) y 'María' de Jorge Isaacs (Cátedra). Pepe Rubio trajo dos novedades 'Los filos de la noche' de Manuel Rico (Huso Editorial) y 'Un halcón bajo mi ventana' de Lydia Cacho (Lumen). Pascual Donate rescató un libro de viajes muy curioso entre los abandonos editoriales de la SER: 'Los cielos más bellos de España' ,de Miguel Ángels Pugnaire y Miguel Gil (Alhenamedia). Y finalmente dos donaciones de nuestros oyentes: 'La más recóndita memoria de los hombres' de Mohamed Mbougar Sarr (Anagrama) y 'La saga de los Aznar' de Pascual Enguídanos Usach (George H. White) (Altolibros).

The post-WW1 Weimar Republic in Germany was the height of European civilization. Its scientists and scholars led the world. Its Bauhaus architecture was the rage. Its arts featured such luminaries as Fritz Lang, Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill and Thomas Mann. Yet, out of this modern democracy sprang Nazism, German fascism, and one of the most barbaric regimes ever. How did Hitler happen? It is one of the most important questions of history. What happened in Germany has disturbing resonances for our own time. Fascist-like regimes are taking power in many countries. We ignore disturbing signs at our peril from torchlight parades in Charlottesville with crowds chanting, “Jews Will Not Replace Us” to a synagogue massacre in Pittsburgh to the murder of African-Americans in a church in Charleston. What can we learn from the past to ensure it doesn't happen again? Recorded at Hunter College. Interviewed by David Barsamian
Sanary-sur-mer – ein kleines Örtchen an der Côte d'Azur, 50 Kilometer östlich von Marseille.1933 hatte Sanary etwa 3000 Einwohner (heute sind es 16.000), ab 1933 wurde Sanary zur Hauptstadt der deutschsprachigen Literatur: Thomas Mann und Familie, Brecht, Lion Feuchtwanger, Joseph Roth, Franz Werfel und seine Frau Alma-Mahler Werfel, Stefan Zweig.All die und einige mehr (Juden, Kommunisten, Gefährdete) waren vor den Nationalsozialisten nach Sanary geflüchtet und lebten dort Tage, Wochen, Monate, Jahre.Was wie Verheißung von Sommer und Leichtigkeit klingt, wurde für sie zum Fluchtort, ihrer literarischen Arbeit und ihrer Sprache beraubt.Seit einigen Jahren erinnert eine Gedenktafel in Sanary mit 68 Namen an jene Exilanten, einen Rundgang zu den ehemaligen Wohnsitzen der exilierten Künstler gibt es auch. Knut Benzner war in Sanary-sur-mer und hat mit Menschen, denen Erinnerungskultur nicht nur ein Wort ist, gesprochen.Videotipp aus der ARD Mediathek: Marseille - Meer und Mistralhttps://www.ardmediathek.de/video/erlebnisreisen/marseille-meer-und-mistral/wdr/Y3JpZDovL3dkci5kZS9CZWl0cmFnLXNvcGhvcmEtZWEyYTFkZGQtNjgyZC00YTU5LThjM2YtMTlkMWNhYjk4NDQz

Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact *** Sonia Purnell - Kingmaker: Pamela Churchill Harriman's astonishing life of seduction, intrigue and power Churchill vertrouwde haar volstrekt. Zijn schoondochter Pamela was de beste spion die hij ooit had. En zij kende al zijn geheimen, angsten en heldenmoed. In zijn laatste levensjaren nog ging zij met hem mee als gezelschap op het jacht van Onassis. Daar ontmoette zij niet alleen Maria Callas, maar ook oude vrienden: JFK en zijn Jackie. Pamela Digby Churchill Harriman kende iédereen. Ze was een overlevingskunstenares, geliefde van een lange reeks van de machtigste en rijkste mannen uit heel de wereld en een politiek dier van de buitenklasse. Zij was het die Bill Clinton ontdekte voor het presidentschap. Hij schonk haar een droombaan: ambassadeur van Amerika in Parijs. Ook daar was zij een spectaculair succes. Ze wond Jacques Chirac om haar vinger en wist vrede te stichten in een gruwelijke oorlog. Wát een leven! Margot Dijgraaf - Germaine de Staël. Schrijver, balling en feminist avant la lettre Germaine verslaat zelfs Pamela als vrouw met een avontuurlijk leven in wilde tijden. Ze was briljant, schreef bestsellers in zowel de romanliteratuur als wetenschappelijke en politieke essays. Goethe vertaalde haar, Klemens von Metternich en tsaar Alexander ontvingen haar, Wilhelm von Humboldt was een vriend, filosofen als Friedrich von Schlegel en Benjamin Constant waren haar metgezellen, koningin Marie Antoinette was een vriendin die haar wijze adviezen helaas niet volgde. Haar leven tussen 1766 en 1817 viel samen met alle grote revoluties van die jaren en zij speelde daar een opmerkelijke rol in, kende alle hoofdfiguren, correspondeerde en discussieerde met hen. Haar kasteeltje in Coppet, even buiten Genève, was haar salon en die samenkomsten werden 'de Staten Generaal van Europa' genoemd. Ze had één vijand. Napoleon. Ze kritiseerde hem en zijn ondemocratische machtsdrift rechtstreeks in zijn gezicht. Hij liet haar verbannen en de eerste druk van haar boek over Duitsland vernietigen. Toch werd ook dit een bestseller. Margit van der Steen – ‘Ware wonderdieren’. De eerste vrouwen in de Nederlandse politiek (1917-1927) Wie waren de vrouwen die als eersten in ons land politieke functies konden veroveren? Wat maakten zij mee? Hoe werden zij bejegend? Dit boek is een tijdsbeeld van Nederland en het verhaal van deze pioniers. Het werd ze allerminst makkelijk gemaakt, want op rechts en net zo goed op links waren veel mannen allerminst ingenomen of overtuigd van de waarde van de vrouw in de politiek. Troelstra zag hen als risico voor de komst van het socialistisme. De gereformeerden vonden dat vrouwen geen plaats hadden in de harde wereld van macht en geld. De katholieken vonden het moederschap en niet het bestuur haar ware bestemming. Maar daar trokken de politieke pioniers zich weinig van aan. Fascinerende mensen, voor de duvel niet bang. Leer ze kennen. Suze Groeneweg, Carry Pothuis-Smit, Aletta Jacobs. Maar ook Wilhelmina van Itallie-Van Embden, een meesterinterviewer die Kamerlid werd. Frida Katz, het wetgevingskanon van de CHU. Eiske ten Bos-Harkema, een 'rooie vrouw' die het cachot in moest toen ze een 'MeToo'-schandaal onthulde. De liberalen, die het meest hun best hadden gedaan om het vrouwenkiesrecht te realiseren, werden er niet voor beloond. Algemeen kiesrecht beloonde vooral de socialisten. En veel vrouwen conservatief te stemmen. Florian Illies - Als de zon ondergaat (verschijnt op 12 mei in de Nederlandse vertaling) In de zomer van 1933 was het heerlijk aan de Côte d'Azur. Maar Thomas Mann was wanhopig. Kon hij ooit terug naar München naar zijn schrijftafel, zijn romans, verhalen, essays? Florian Illies' documentaire roman schetst die eerste maanden in ballingschap en de ontworteling van de grote schrijver, zijn familie en hun vrienden in Sanary sur Mer. Hoe dochter Erika een dappere regisseur van het overleven tegen Hitler werd. Hoe zoon Klaus in Zandvoort levensmoe leek, maar in verzet een levensdoel hervond. Hoe zoon Golo van verlegen student een stille held werd. En Goebbels stiekem meekeek. IJzingwekkend. Dik Verkuil - De ongenaakbare Bolkestein Een monumentale biografie die een tijdsbeeld geeft van Nederland in de twintigste eeuw. Van het chique milieu van de Amsterdamse elite, van dat van de studenten vroeger, van Shell als koloniaal bedrijf, van de VVD die transformeerde van nette heren partij naar volkse machtsfactor. En Frits Bolkestein loopt daar doorheen, eigenwijs, horkerig, provocerend, aarzelend tussen conservatisme en liberalisme. Trots op zijn gave van 'haute vulgarisation' die maatschappelijke thema's hielp agenderen. Maar ook tragisch. Want als bewindsman, als Eurocommissaris en als politiek leider in de paarse periode boekte hij nauwelijks concrete resultaten. Het premierschap ontglipte hem door eigen, aarzelende vaagheid. Zijn opvolging werd een drama. En zijn Magnum Opus, het boek dat hij decennialang aankondigde, werd een flop. Maar toch, wát een leven! Kevin Rudd – On Xi Jinping. How Xi's marxist nationalism is shaping China and the World Hoe denkt de machtigste man op aarde? Sinoloog en oud-premier van Australië, Kevin Rudd, durft het aan in het brein van Xi te kruipen en zijn ideologische kerngedachten te ontcijferen. Zo kruipen we met hem in de geest van een totalitair heerser, een man naar wie iedereen in China moet opkijken en die men heeft te gehoorzamen. Meest fundamenteel is het feit dat Xi een ware gelovige is. Het marxisme-leninisme is de enige wetenschappelijk bewezen analyse van de wereld en wie deze zuiver volgt, kán niet falen. Daarom heeft hij met drie correcties het bewind van zijn voorganger Deng Xiaoping diepgaand veranderd. Bij de centrale macht van de Partij en bij de economische verschillen binnen China wijst hij een koers 'naar links' aan. Terug naar Lenin en de jonge Mao. Nivellering en een nadruk op staatsbedrijven. Zuivering in partij en legertop. Bij de nationale identiteit van China wijst Xi naar het verleden, naar de tijd voor Mao. De ideologie, cultuur en zelfs bepaalde zeden en religie uit de keizertijd zijn weer acceptabel. Want China is en was één en superieur.

Arthur Schopenhauer: The Life and Thought of Philosophy's Greatest Pessimist by David Bather Woods An engaging biography of one of the most influential Western philosophers and a thought-provoking exploration of how to live with Arthur Schopenhauer's pessimism.Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) almost wasn't one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century. Born in the Free City of Danzig to a family of shipping merchants, he was destined for a life of imports and exports until his father died in a suspected suicide. After much deliberation, the young Schopenhauer invested his inheritance in himself and his philosophical vocation. But the long road to recognition was a difficult one, with Schopenhauer spending all but the last decade of his life in total obscurity. Yet his ideas and style went on to influence great thinkers, including Friedrich Nietzsche, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Sigmund Freud, as well as artists such as the composer Richard Wagner and writers Marcel Proust, Thomas Mann, Samuel Beckett, and many more.A singular and remarkably influential thinker, Schopenhauer is usually described as an extreme pessimist. He questioned the purpose of existence in a world where pain and suffering are inescapable and happiness is all too brief. In this engaging philosophical biography, David Bather Woods reevaluates Schopenhauer's pessimism in the context of his life experiences, revealing the philosopher's relentless fascination with the world and making a case for his contemporary relevance. Bather Woods weaves together Schopenhauer's ideas with the story of how he came to be, including such topics as love, loneliness, morality, politics, gender, sexuality, death, suicide, fame, and madness. In doing so, this book answers some of life's most challenging questions about how to deal with pain and loss, and how to live with ourselves and each other.Despite his pessimistic outlook on human existence, Schopenhauer didn't give up on life. Rather, he recognized that the question of how to live becomes even more pressing, and he worked to provide an answer. Bather Woods shows how Schopenhauer's life informed his ideas and how they still resonate today. David Bather Woods is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick. He is coeditor with Timothy Stoll of The Schopenhauerian Mind. He has contributed chapters to The Proustian Mind, Schopenhauer's Moral Philosophy, and The Palgrave Schopenhauer Handbook. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.
