Welche Art von Literatur im sogenannten "Dritten Reich" gelesen, verlegt, verkauft werden durfte und welche nicht – das, so wir denken wir, sei inzwischen hinreichend bekannt. Schließlich hatten sich Autoren, Buchhandlungen und Verlage nicht nur der "Reichsschrifttumskammer", sondern auch den Verordnungen des Propaganda-Ministeriums zu unterwerfen. Nicht zuletzt der Börsenverein des deutschen Buchhandels wachte mit Argusaugen über das, was in den Schaufenstern oder am Ladentisch angeboten werden durfte. Basierend auf jahrelangen gründlichen Recherchen, erzählt die amerikanische Professorin Michele Troy mit detektivischer Detailfreude und literarischer Brillanz von einer heute kaum noch bekannten, anderen Seite der Medaille: wie es drei herausragenden Männern unterschiedlicher Herkunft gelingen konnte, vor aller Augen angelsächsische Weltliteratur vom Krimi bis zu James Joyce' Ulysses an jeder Zensur vorbei in Nazi-Deutschland zu verbreiten. Auf den Schwingen des Albatross – so der Name ihres international operierenden, aber den Markt von Deutschland aus beliefernden "seltsamen" Firmengeflechts – versorgten sie Leserinnen und Leser, auch Soldaten, über den Buchhandel mit Taschenbüchern, die für diese sonst unerreichbar geblieben wären. Eine Abenteuer- und Kulturgeschichte von Rang, die von dramatischen Schicksalen und verschlungenen Bücher-Pfaden vor dem Hintergrund existenzieller Katastrophen erzählt.

“At length did cross an Albatross, / Through the fog it came; / As if it had been a Christian soul, / We hailed it in God’s name.” The introduction of the albatross in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” remains one of the most well-known references to this majestic seabird in Western culture. In Albatross, Graham Barwell goes beyond Coleridge to examine the role the bird plays in the lives of a wide variety of peoples and societies, from the early views of north Atlantic mariners to modern encounters by writers, artists, and filmmakers. Exploring how the bird has been celebrated in proverbs, folk stories, art, and ceremonies, Barwell shows how people marvel at the way the albatross soars through the air, covering awe-inspiring distances with little effort thanks to its impressive wingspan. He surveys the many approaches people have taken to thinking about the albatross over the past two hundred years—from those who devoted their lives to these birds to those who hunted them for food and sport—and discusses its place in the human imagination. Concluding with a reflection on the bird’s changing significance in the modern world, Barwell considers threats to its continued existence and its prospects for the future. With one hundred illustrations from nature, film, and popular culture, Albatross is an absorbing look at these beautiful birds.

The first book about the Albatross Press, a Penguin precursor that entered into an uneasy relationship with the Nazi regime to keep Anglo-American literature alive under fascism The Albatross Press was, from its beginnings in 1932, a “strange bird”: a cultural outsider to the Third Reich but an economic insider. It was funded by British-Jewish interests. Its director was rumored to work for British intelligence. A precursor to Penguin, it distributed both middlebrow fiction and works by edgier modernist authors such as D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, and Ernest Hemingway to eager continental readers. Yet Albatross printed and sold its paperbacks in English from the heart of Hitler’s Reich. In her original and skillfully researched history, Michele K. Troy reveals how the Nazi regime tolerated Albatross—for both economic and propaganda gains—and how Albatross exploited its insider position to keep Anglo-American books alive under fascism. In so doing, Troy exposes the contradictions in Nazi censorship while offering an engaging detective story, a history, a nuanced analysis of men and motives, and a cautionary tale.

Breeding on remote ocean islands and spending much of its life foraging for food across vast stretches of seemingly empty seas, the albatross remains a legend for most people. And yet, humans are threatening the albatross family to such an extent that it is currently the most threatened bird group in the world. In this extensively researched, highly readable book, Robin W. Doughty and Virginia Carmichael tell the story of a potentially catastrophic extinction that has been interrupted by an unlikely alliance of governments, conservation groups, and fishermen. Doughty and Carmichael authoritatively establish that the albatross's fate is linked to the fate of two of the highest-value table fish, Bluefin Tuna and Patagonian Toothfish, which are threatened by unregulated commercial harvesting. The authors tell us that commercial fishing techniques are annually killing tens of thousands of albatrosses. And the authors explain how the breeding biology of albatrosses makes them unable to replenish their numbers at the rate they are being depleted. Doughty and Carmichael set the albatross's fate in the larger context of threats facing the ocean commons, ranging from industrial overfishing to our habit of dumping chemicals, solid waste, and plastic trash into the open seas. They also highlight the efforts of dedicated individuals, environmental groups, fishery management bodies, and governments who are working for seabird and fish conservation and demonstrate that these efforts can lead to sustainable solutions for the iconic seabirds and the entire ocean ecosystem.
