In the years leading up to the World Wars, Germany and Austria saw an unprecedented increase in the study and depiction of the criminal. Science, journalism and crime fiction were obsessed with delinquents while ignoring the social causes of crime. As criminologists measured criminals' heads and debated biological predestination, court reporters and crime writers wrote side-splitting or heart-rending stories featuring one of the most popular characters ever created--the hilarious or piteous crook. The author examines the figure of the crook and notions of "Jewish" criminality in a range of antisemitic writing, from Nazi propaganda to court reporting to forgotten classics of crime fiction.

On the island of Minorca some things never change: the sun shines, the breeze ruffles the Mediterranean, and the Grand Dukes are eternally in debt. Grand Duke Ramon XX doesn’t let his permanent state of near-bankruptcy interfere with the simple pleasures of life: a good lunch, a cigar and a glass of cognac. But trouble is on the horizon when the island is visited by a German businessman who will stop at nothing to get his hands on potential sulfur mines. At the same time, a moneylender in Paris threatens to expose a devastating secret, leaving Ramon on the verge of losing not only his beloved island, but his honor and reputation as well. It's not until he crosses paths with Mr Collin, gentleman thief and swindler, that a gleam of hope appears. But who is the mysterious and beautiful woman pretending to be Mr Collin’s wife, and does she hold the key to solving the Grand Duke's financial problems once and for all? Frank Heller was the first internationally famous Swedish crime writer. The son of a clergyman, to avoid arrest after a financial fraud he left Sweden for the continent. In desperate straits after losing the swindled money in a casino in Monte Carlo, he tried his hand at writing novels with immediate success, and produced forty-three novels, short stories and travelogues before his death in 1947. “A first-rate mystery thriller…A novel every one will enjoy” – The Sketch “A story of national bankruptcy, revolution and high adventure in the curious Grand Duchy of Minorca and elsewhere…It is all wildly impossible but none the less amusing on that account.” – Westminster Gazette

"In the Beginning was Napoleon"--"Napoleon and no end" Inspiration Bonaparte explores German responses to Bonaparte in literature, philosophy, painting, science, education, music, and film from his rise to the present. Two hundred years after his death, Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) continues to resonate as a fascinating, ambivalent, and polarizing figure. Differences of opinion as to whether Bonaparte should be viewed as the executor of the principles of the French Revolution or as the figure who was principally responsible for their corruption are as pronounced today as they were at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Contributing to what had been an uneasy German relationship with the French Revolution, the rise of Bonaparte was accompanied by a pattern of Franco-German hostilities that inspired both enthusiastic support and outraged dissent in the German-speaking states. The fourteen essays that comprise Inspiration Bonaparte examine the mythologization of Napoleon in German literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and explore the significant impact of Napoleonic occupation on a broad range of fields including philosophy, painting, politics, the sciences, education, and film. As the contributions from leading scholars emphasize, the contradictory attitudes toward Bonaparte held by so many prominent German thinkers are a reflection of his enduring status as a figure through whom the trauma of shattered late-Enlightenment expectations of sociopolitical progress and evolving concepts of identity politics is mediated.

Both the letters, edited and censored by Runckel, and the plays, commissioned and edited by her husband, reveal a number of intriguing "detours" from the path of conventionality: biographical aberrations in her letters (her chagrined loyalty to her husband, her passionate "friendship" with Runckel) and poetological deviations from her husband's poetics expressed in her dramas."--BOOK JACKET.

Die beiden Großstädte Tel Aviv und Berlin sind die gegenwärtigen Kulturmetropolen ihrer Länder. Die Besonderheit Berlins für Israelis ist ein "Einzelphänomen", die Stadt erscheint als "Portal zur jüdisch-europäischen Vergangenheit" (Fania Oz-Salzberger), denn hier sind die Zeichen der Geschichte, aus Kaiserreich und Weimarer Republik, der nationalsozialistischen Verfolgung, von Ost und West auf der Oberfläche der Straßen und der Gebäude greifbar und nahe wie sonst nirgends, die Geschichte ist überall lebendig und entwickelt sich dennoch rasant weiter. Die gegenseitige Anziehungskraft besteht bereits seit der Gründung Tel Avivs im Jahr 1909 in Palästina, das zu dieser Zeit zum osmanischen Reich zählte. Damals schrieben jüdische Immigrant*innen, allen voran Lea Goldberg, die heute als wichtigste Literatin Israels gilt, von dem Leben in Berlin, ihrem Weg und Ankommen in Israel und den damit verbundenen Fragen. Heute blicken deutsche Gegenwartsautor*innen, wie etwa Katharina Hacker in Eine Art Liebe, fasziniert nach Tel Aviv. Währenddessen suchen israelische Autor*innen und Filmemacher*innen, wie z.B. Eytan Fox mit dem Film ללכת על המים ( Walk on Water), den kritischen Dialog mit Berlin, der einen neuen Blick auf die deutsch-jüdische und deutsch-israelische Geschichte und Gegenwart erlaubt. Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit einer großen Bandbreite literarischer und filmischer Werke aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, deutscher sowie israelischer Autor*innen und Filmemacher*innen, die sowohl die gesellschaftlichen und politischen Beziehungen zwischen den beiden Metropolen als auch sehr persönliche und individuelle Aspekte des Lebens in Berlin und Tel Aviv und deren Zusammenhänge thematisieren. Diese literatur-, film- und sozialgeschichtliche Perspektive auf die beiden Städte ermöglicht ein neues Verständnis der vielschichtigen Beziehungen zwischen Berlin und Tel Aviv vom frühen 20. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart.

The contributors have uniformly retooled their perspective on Weimar to take into account the pressing concerns of class, gender, and sexuality. As a result, readers will continue to appreciate Weimar culture circa 1800 as a splendidly dynamic place, rich with social, political, and artistic energy, and still revolving around Goethe. At the same time, however, they will be made aware of the class and gender inequities that were a condition for Weimar's flourishing high and hybrid culture."--BOOK JACKET.

Stories abound of immigrant Jews on the outside looking in, clambering up the ladder of social mobility, successfully assimilating and integrating into their new worlds. But this book is not about the success stories. It's a paean to the bunglers, the blockheads, and the just plain weird—Jews who were flung from small, impoverished eastern European towns into the urban shtetls of New York and Warsaw, where, as they say in Yiddish, their bread landed butter side down in the dirt. These marginal Jews may have found their way into the history books far less frequently than their more socially upstanding neighbors, but there's one place you can find them in force: in the Yiddish newspapers that had their heyday from the 1880s to the 1930s. Disaster, misery, and misfortune: you will find no better chronicle of the daily ignominies of urban Jewish life than in the pages of the Yiddish press. An underground history of downwardly mobile Jews, Bad Rabbi exposes the seamy underbelly of pre-WWII New York and Warsaw, the two major centers of Yiddish culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. With true stories plucked from the pages of the Yiddish papers, Eddy Portnoy introduces us to the drunks, thieves, murderers, wrestlers, poets, and beauty queens whose misadventures were immortalized in print. There's the Polish rabbi blackmailed by an American widow, mass brawls at weddings and funerals, a psychic who specialized in locating missing husbands, and violent gangs of Jewish mothers on the prowl—in short, not quite the Jews you'd expect. One part Isaac Bashevis Singer, one part Jerry Springer, this irreverent, unvarnished, and frequently hilarious compendium of stories provides a window into an unknown Yiddish world that was.

In this book, Thomas Boston (1676-1732) challenges us to consider God’s hand in the trials (the crook) appointed to us in our lot in life. Watson encourages us to maintain humility, patience, and faith that God will lift us up. The Crook in the Lot is divided into three parts which were originally the contents of several sermons preached by Boston. Each part is an extended exposition of a different verse: 1. Faith in Suffering: “Consider the work of God: who can make straight what he has made crooked?” (Ecclesiastes 7:13) 2. Humility in Suffering: “Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.” (Proverbs 16:19, KJV) 3. The End of Suffering: “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you.” (1 Peter 5:6) This edition includes: Complete and carefully updated text. Modern English sentence structure. Modern English vocabulary. Updated organization and headings. English Standard Version (ESV) scripture references. Hundreds of scripture quotations in footnotes. Active table of contents.
