Adolf Busch (1891–1952) galt zu Lebzeiten als der bedeutendste deutsche Geiger, seine Interpretationen der Werke von Bach, Beethoven und Reger sind bis heute legendär. Zwischen den Weltkriegen prägte er als Solist, als Leiter des Busch-Quartetts und im Duo mit dem Pianisten Rudolf Serkin das Zürcher Musikleben. Kein auswärtiger Musiker trat so häufig in der Tonhalle auf wie er. Den Nationalsozialismus bekämpfte Busch aus voller Überzeugung und lehnte es nach 1933 ab, in Hitler-Deutschland aufzutreten. 1935 wurde er Schweizer Bürger, emigrierte 1939 in die USA und kehrte nach 1947 immer wieder in die Schweiz zurück. Adolf Busch war auch als Komponist bekannt. Ein Blick auf jene Werke, die im Zusammenhang mit dem Zürcher Musikleben entstanden, zeigt aber, dass er als Schöpfer eigener Musik weniger Erfolg hatte. Anhand von Korrespondenzen und Zeitungsberichten vermittelt das Buch Eindrücke von Buschs Wirkung auf die unmittelbaren Zeitgenossen, unter ihnen der Schriftsteller Thomas Mann, die Geigerin Stefi Geyer, der Zürcher Dirigent Volkmar Andreae und der Winterthurer Musikmäzen Werner Reinhart.

Adolf Glassbrenner (1810-1876) was a German humorist and satirist. The aim of this study is to show that Glassbrenner's writings were rooted within the abstract idealism of the Young Germans. Special focus lies on the period between 1840 and 1849, Glassbrenner's most active writing period, and representing most closely the elements of Humor and Tendenz. This study is of interest to everyone who wants to know more about the ideas behind the writings of Adolf Glassbrenner, but also to those who want to make a first acquaintance with this famous German writer.

"In this wide-ranging biography, Henry Adams explores how a once central figure can come to be forgotten. With his account of the life of the prolific and influential Adolf Dehn, and a look at the circles of artists and writers in which Dehn moved, Adams helps to fill in what he calls the "secret or subterranean history of art.""--

"In the autumn of 1917 Captain Otto Schwink, a General Staff Officer, by order of the Chief of the General Staff of the Field Army, produced a book entitled The Germans at Ypres 1914. Herr Schwink's text is reproduced accompanied by rare photographs illustrating the Imperial German Army as it was in the prewar era and in the field during the campaign, which culminated in the four year struggle for the Ypres salient. Photographs depict the troops, officers, supporting artillery, High Command and the events of the 1914 Christmas truce. This volume also features a chapter on Adolf Hitler's service during the Great War, which both began and ended in the Ypres salient, and includes a selection of rare photographs illustrating Hitler's experience in the ranks of the Bavarian Army in Flanders"--Publisher description.
