Beschreibung

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's "Minna von Barnhelm" stands as a significant contribution to the emergence of German drama in the 18th century, intertwining themes of love, loyalty, and the complexities of human emotions against the backdrop of the Seven Years' War. Lessing employs a blend of comedy and serious reflection, utilizing rich dialogue to explore the interplay between social class and personal integrity. The characters are vividly drawn, embodying the contradictions of their time, particularly the societal expectations faced by women, showcased through the titular character, Minna, who challenges norms with her spirited independence and intelligence. Lessing, often hailed as a pioneer of modern drama, drew from his background in Enlightenment thought, advocating for reason and humanity amidst the chaos of war and societal strife. His engagement with the philosophical currents of his time, including Rationalism and Humanism, fueled his desire to portray authentic human experiences. "Minna von Barnhelm" reflects his deep commitment to questioning moral values and the importance of personal honor, undoubtedly influenced by his own encounters with the tumult of 18th-century German society. This play is highly recommended for readers interested in an exploration of character-driven narratives that resonate with timeless issues of societal constraint and individual agency. Lessing's deft blend of humor and pathos not only entertains but encourages reflection on the nature of relationships and moral choices, making "Minna von Barnhelm" a pivotal work for both literary scholars and general readers alike.

In this stunning collection of essays, poems, and meditations, Estoria tenderly reveals the places in her life where she has been broken open, mended back together in new ways, and shows us how this process of “unfolding” helps us discover and return home to the person we were always meant to be.   
In order to let something in, 
you have to let some things go 
In order to heal, you must hurt, 
In order to grow, you will experience discomfort 
and all of this is to make more room for hope 
less room for perfectionism and more room for simply being. 
This is the Unfolding

The poetry of Brett Alan Dewing – together in one place for the first time. 
Dewing's work examines life under God, lived in "the eucharistic world". With a keen sense of wit and wonder, Dewing stretches the boundaries of language and familiar forms (some of the poet's own design, such as the villanette and the vela). Believing that a poet is by nature at a loss for words and that every poem must be a failed attempt to express our "Substance Insubstantio", he has left no combination of words unturned during his decades-long career. 
Covering a span of over 30 years, this collection includes four previously published collections:Have You Not Heard?Take, Eat, Remember, and BelieveReliquariesthe beginning of the blood: Christmas and Advent poems 
as well as debuting some brand-new work.
