Owing to the diverse research interests of the contributors, this collection of essays offers a varied picture of the current approaches to Anglo-American literature and culture, and points to the need for a deeper understanding of current cultural, economic and social processes in the globalizing and globalized culture of the West. Because “crisis” seems to be the key word of contemporary Western culture, the first part of the book, titled “In the Face of Crises”, explores the implicit or explicit idea of a crisis between the real and the simulated, suggesting that one of the major issues for the contemporary man is how to deal with the virtual or with the “absence of the real”. Our fast-paced, technology-laden and materialist-oriented existence brings about the need to rethink our human identity, putting into perspective our relationship to technology, the impact of capitalist economy and colonial past, as well as consequences of constant warfare. The second part of the book, “New Perspectives on Literary Genres”, analyzes forms, topics and styles in literary texts belonging to specific, sometimes marginalized, genres. Literary analyses in this section also touch upon the idea of crisis: be it the crisis of understanding and redefining a particular genre, or a crisis that is inherent in the controversial topic or form of the text. As a reaction to recent allegations concerning the crisis of humanities as “non-profitable”, this book shows that humanist research is indispensable and crucial for understanding the human condition, making this book a relevant addition to the contemporary discussion of literature and culture.

Am Beispiel der algerischen Revolution im Jahr 1962 wird sichtbar, wie die Geschichte ihren Bezug zur Freiheit verliert, wenn die einst Beherrschten selbst zu Herrschern werden. Der algerische Schriftsteller Boualem Sansal greift diesen reaktionären Umschlag in seinen Romanen auf und schreibt gegen den Stillstand an, der die algerische Gesellschaft seither lähmt. Rebecca Hohnhaus analysiert in der ersten deutschsprachigen Monografie zum Werk des Schriftstellers die narrativen Verfahren, durch die er die Geschichte wieder mobilisiert und in den Dienst des Menschen stellt. Damit knüpft Sansal an eine der Grundideen der historischen Aufklärung an, unterzieht diese aber zugleich einer Relektüre.

Napoleon Hill was born in the 19th century, changed the world in the 20th century, and is now impacting how we live in the 21st century. Through Jim Stovall’s latest novel in his Homecoming Historical Series entitled Top of the Hill, readers young and old will experience the modern-day impact of Napoleon Hill’s timeless lessons. In this inspiring and entertaining story, high school students apply the wisdom of Napoleon Hill to save their school, rescue their town, and change their lives. In their efforts to fight the political corruption threatening their futures, the students, principal, and other members of the community learn the power of the mastermind group, the power of purpose and having faith, the power of going the extra mile, and many more lessons that would change their lives forever. Note from Author, Jim Stovall: In many ways, Top of the Hill is a sort of homecoming for me. After losing my sight during my college years, I determined to be an entrepreneur, and my elderly mentor taught me using Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich. He passed away while I was still in my 20s, but he made my success possible. Years later after I had become a success in business and a multimillionaire, I wrote a book about my journey. Don Green who runs the Napoleon Hill Foundation contacted me and let me know that my mentor, Lee Braxton that I had written about, had been a longtime friend of Napoleon Hill’s, and Mr. Braxton actually gave the eulogy at Napoleon Hill’s funeral. So through the connection of my mentor, I feel somehow also connected to Napoleon Hill.

In Breathing Aesthetics Jean-Thomas Tremblay argues that difficult breathing indexes the uneven distribution of risk in a contemporary era marked by the increasing contamination, weaponization, and monetization of air. Tremblay shows how biopolitical and necropolitical forces tied to the continuation of extractive capitalism, imperialism, and structural racism are embodied and experienced through respiration. They identify responses to the crisis in breathing in aesthetic practices ranging from the film work of Cuban American artist Ana Mendieta to the disability diaries of Bob Flanagan, to the Black queer speculative fiction of Renee Gladman. In readings of these and other minoritarian works of experimental film, endurance performance, ecopoetics, and cinema-vérité, Tremblay contends that articulations of survival now depend on the management and dispersal of respiratory hazards. In so doing, they reveal how an aesthetic attention to breathing generates historically, culturally, and environmentally situated tactics and strategies for living under precarity.

Today, Indian Writing in English or Indo-Anglian Writing has certainly come of age, with the novel having a pride of place and names such as Salman Rushdie, V.S. Naipaul, Vikram Seth, Amitav Ghosh, Kiran Desai and Aravind Adiga prominently figuring in the list. But the credit for placing Indo-Anglian writing on a high pedestal should go to earlier writers like Rabindranath Tagore, Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayan and Raja Rao. Among these, R.K. Narayan is the most celebrated novelist. This edited volume deals with several important Malgudi novels of R.K. Narayan, such as Swami and Friends, The Bachelor of Arts, The English Teacher and The Guide and short stories, and throws light on various aspects of his creative art. It traces the evolution of all the genres of Indian Writing in English as well as R.K. Narayan the novelist. The book dwells upon R.K. Narayan’s art of characterization with reference to central male characters, use of humour, and the cultural milieu of Malgudi. It also discusses in detail R.K. Narayan’s standpoint regarding the actual social status of Indian women. Finally, the book focuses on R.K. Narayan’s use of myths and symbols and shows how these enable him to convey artistically the implication of the experience that forms the base of the novels. The book is meant for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of English Literature. Besides, all those readers who wish to delve deeper into the works of R.K. Narayan will find the book quite useful.

James Howard-Johnston provides a sweeping and highly readable account of probably the most dramatic single episode in world history - the emergence of a new religion (Islam), the destruction of two established great powers (Roman and Iranian), and the creation of a new world empire by the Arabs, all in the space of not much more than a generation (610-52 AD). Warfare looms large, especially where operations can be followed in some detail, as in Iraq 636-40, in Egypt 641-2 and in the long-drawn out battle for the Mediterranean (649-98). As the first history of the formative phase of Islam to be grounded in the important non-Islamic as well as Islamic sources Witnesses to a World Crisis is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand Islam as a religion and political force, the modern Middle East, and the jihadist impulse, which is as evident today as it was in the seventh century.
