Beschreibung

In "The Essential Works of Goethe," readers are invited into the rich tapestry of thought that defines one of Germany's most pivotal literary figures. This anthology encapsulates Goethe's profound explorations into human emotion, nature, and the intricacies of life through a blend of poetry, drama, and prose. Rich with lyrical elegance and philosophical inquiry, the collection reflects the neoclassicism and romanticism that permeated his era, presenting timeless themes of longing, creativity, and existential reflection. Through classic pieces such as "Faust" and lyrical poems, Goethe invites readers to engage with the depth of the human soul and the natural world, illustrating the profound connection between the two. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, born in 1749, was not only a literary giant but also a polymath whose pursuits ranged from philosophy and science to politics and art. His diverse intellectual landscape profoundly influenced his literary output. Goethe's own tumultuous experiences with love, loss, and self-discovery were instrumental in shaping his worldview, making his works an intimate reflection of the human condition. This compilation is highly recommended for readers interested in the interplay of emotion and intellect that characterizes the modern literary canon. It serves as both an introduction to Goethe's monumental impact on world literature and a profound exploration of the themes that continue to resonate today, making it an essential read for students and admirers of literature.

The Peanut Factory

Deborah Price

A coming-of-age memoir about a young woman and her friends squatting in abandoned houses in London in the late 70s during the emerging counterculture scene.
Set in South London (Crystal Palace), Deborah mingled with some of the biggest names to emerge from the scene. She booked The Damned's first show, served pints to Johnny Rotten, and attended a backyard gig from King Kurt.
Squat life was sex, drugs and punk rock but it wasn't all fun and games. The Peanut Factory shows Deborah navigating a male-dominated scene, moving every few months and living with drug dealers, sex workers, people on the run, and working-class kids like her.
Despite the chaos, the squatters were a family. They were kids creating their own rules. Making art. Living life on the fly. The Peanut Factory is an ode to the youthful rebellion of the 1970s and to London itself.
'A window into a time of raw energy and rough edges, Deb Price paints a vivid picture of life in the squats of South London. By turns amusing and alarming, but always engaging, we accompany a teenager as she navigates her way to womanhood in a sub-culture on the margins.' - Allie Rogers, author of Little Gold and Tale of a Tooth
