    James Joyce

    James Joyce

    Engelstalige uitgave, gebonden met stofomslag, in zeer goede staat

    This book is the first completely new biography of James Joyce for a generation. It will prove both controversial and essential. James Joyce left Dublin in 1904, when he was twenty-two, and for the next decade taught and worked in Pola, Trieste and Rome. He visited his native Dublin for the last time in 1912, leaving after an acrimonious dispute with a publisher and spending the rest of his life on the Continent. By the time he was thirty he had already had the vast majority of experiences on which his intensely autobiographical literary output was based. Peter Costello, Joycean scholar and native Dubliner, draws on recently discovered or previously overlooked sources to show how Joyce's early life -- his education, his relationship with his brothers and sisters, his youthful loss of faith, his first sexual experiences, his meeting with Nora Barnacle -- shaped so much he was to write in later years. With the publication of his first writing in 1915 came immediate literary respect and fame in Europe and America. From then on he was always the center of attention. But, as Peter Costello argues with conviction and passion, it was the earlier period of obscurity which provided Joyce with the material for Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses and even the much later Finnegans Wake and was therefore the most significant and interesting period of his life. The theme of James Joyce: the Years of Growth is the theme of all Joyce's work -- the transformation of raw life into art. The network of friendships surrounding Joyce's family, of which he was to make so much use in Ulysses, receives special attention. Ulysses is very much a book about a city and a community, a community which was largely that of Joyce's father. Joyce as a writer owed a tremendous debt to his story-telling father. The majority of the characters in Ulysses were friends of John Joyce, who contributed more than has been realized to the make-up of Leopold Bloom. By taking an historical rather than purely biographical approach, Peter Costello places Joyce firmly in the context of the Dublin of his youth, frequently refutes accepted fact and discovers a new portrait of James Joyce.

    Recht en vrijheid

    Recht en vrijheid

    Paperback met flappen als nieuw. Met illustraties van Ruben L. Oppenheimer.

    Wat hebben dopingtests in de wielersport, de verzamelwoede van Google en de geluidscontouren van Schiphol gemeen? Ze roepen vragen op over het rechtsgehalte en de toepasbaarheid van het recht. Bepalend daarvoor is respect voor de vrijheid van de burger. Die staat niet alleen op het spel bij de grote juridische dossiers zoals euthanasie, terrorismebestrijding of de minderhedenproblematiek, maar ook bij praktische zaken als dopingtests en geluidsnormen. Frank Kuitenbrouwer analyseert aan de hand van actuele thema's waar het recht en de vrijheid elkaar versterken of met elkaar botsen.

    Recht & Vrijheid is een keuze van de beste juridische columns die Frank Kuitenbrouwer over deze thema's schreef voor NRC Handelsblad onder de titel Lex et Libertas. Hij behandelt vooral kwesties die onderbelicht dreigen te blijven. Met name de schending van privacy en andere burgerrechten in onze digitale samenleving zit hem hoog. Recht & Vrijheid is een boek voor juristen en voor niet-juristen. Het zet juristen aan het denken over de grote thema's in hun vak. En het geeft niet-juristen op uiterst toegankelijke wijze inzicht in de mechanismen van het recht.

    Frank Kuitenbrouwer (1940) schreef meer dan dertig jaar voor NRC Handelsblad over juridische zaken. Als commentator schreef hij honderden van de ongesigneerde 'hoofdredactionele commentaren' die verschijnen onder het motto Lux et Libertas. Kuitenbrouwer studeerde rechten in Utrecht en was in 1982 de eerste winnaar van de Persprijs Jacques van Veen voor justitieverslaggeving. In 1990 was hij in Utrecht gasthoogleraar informatica en recht (Belle van Zuijlenleerstoel). Hij publiceerde in 1991 het boek Het recht om met rust gelaten te worden. Over privacy. Op de radio was hij regelmatig te horen in het legendarische programma Welingelichte kringen.

    The Currency of Politics

    The Currency of Politics

    Hardback in zeer goede staat. Vlekje op stofomslag. Verder netjes. Engelstalig.

    Money in the history of political thought, from ancient Greece to the Great Inflation of the 1970s In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, critical attention has shifted from the economy to the most fundamental feature of all market economies-money. Yet despite the centrality of political struggles over money, it remains difficult to articulate its democratic possibilities and limits. The Currency of Politics takes readers from ancient Greece to today to provide an intellectual history of money, drawing on the insights of key political philosophers to show how money is not just a medium of exchange but also a central institution of political rule. Money appears to be beyond the reach of democratic politics, but this appearance-like so much about money-is deceptive. Even when the politics of money is impossible to ignore, its proper democratic role can be difficult to discern. Stefan Eich examines six crucial episodes of monetary crisis, recovering the neglected political theories of money in the thought of such figures as Aristotle, John Locke, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes. He shows how these layers of crisis have come to define the way we look at money, and argues that informed public debate about money requires a better appreciation of the diverse political struggles over its meaning. Recovering foundational ideas at the intersection of monetary rule and democratic politics, The Currency of Politics explains why only through greater awareness of the historical limits of monetary politics can we begin to articulate more democratic conceptions of money.
