Paperback. Zustand: Good. Tolstoy's novella blends fiction and historical fact to portray a legendary Avar chieftain who switched sides in the nineteenth-century Russo-Caucasian war. Inspired by the author's military service, Hadji Murad offers riveting views of warfare and treason, murder and vengeance, and behind-the-scenes political plotting. An uncharacteristically brief story by the creator of War and Peace, it voices Tolstoy's pacifist beliefs. This novella also provides a compelling depiction of the Caucasus, a mountainous territory between the Black Sea and the Caspian, prized for its strategic location and natural resources. Located at the crossroads of three empires -- Turkey, Persia, and Russia -- the region has long struggled with incursions by its neighbors and remains a troubled corner of the world to this day. Tolstoy's realistic pictures of life in a war zone raise enduringly relevant issues of life and death.…

Cloth with dustjacket. Zustand: Gut. XIV, 474 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag mit leichten Randläsuren, Kopfschnitt minimal angegraut, Bleistiftanmerkung auf Vorsatz, sonst sehr gut und sauber / dust jacket with light edgewear, top edge minimally grayed, pencil annotation on endpaper, otherwise very good and clean. - Building on recent transformative theories of influence, John Foster explores the many ways Nietzsche's intellectual and artistic example helped shape an interconnected series of major literary projects from 1900 to the 1940s. He portrays Nietzsche as a stimulating but disturbing force who left a well-defined legacy of concerns that modernists appropriated for their fiction. The author focuses particularly on Gide, D. H. Lawrence, Malraux, and Mann, analyzing their strategies of acceptance, revision, and subversion. Professor Foster provides a connected account of Nietzsche's most influential psychological, cultural, and philosophical concerns and of the literary methods of presentation that heightened their appeal. He then turns to the young Gide and Mann, who dominated early responses to the Nietzschean legacy with The Immoral- ist and Death in Venice. These stories prompted more ambitious experiments during World War I and after, as represented by Lawrence's rivalry with Nietzsche in Women in Love and in the fiction up to The Plumed Serpent; and by Malraux's most striking initiatives in Man's Fate and The Walnut Trees of the Altenburg. After touching on parallels in Yeats and the Russian writer Andrei Bely, the author concludes with a discussion of Mann's Doctor Faustus as the culmination of the Nietzschean current in literary modernism. / Contents Acknowledgments Note on Translation, Annotation, and Abbreviation Introduction I.
