From Grant Morrison, Eisner Award winning writer of All-Star Superman and bestselling author of Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human, this new hardcover collects Morrison's entire groundbreaking run on Animal Man for the first time! Buddy Baker is more than just a second-rate super hero - he's also a devoted family man and animal rights activist. Now, as he tries to jump-start his crimefighting career, he experiences visions of aliens, people transforming into strange, pencil-like drawings, and hints of a terrible crisis lurking around the edges of reality. And as his odyssey of self-discovery gives way to spiritual enlightenment as well as the depths of despair, Buddy meets his maker: a writer named Grant Morrison. Collects Animal Man numbered 1-26 and Secret Origins numbered 39.

A refugee from his broken planet who saves earth (more than once), Superman was sent to America as his father's final act before dying. Does this make him the ultimate immigrant success story? Disillusioned with a crime-filled world, Bruce Wayne seeks guidance from a shaman and transforms himself into the flawlessly moral Batman. Through a series of close readings of DC and Marvel comics, Marco Arnaudo explores the influence of religion and myth on superhero stories as well as their relationship to the classical epic and baroque style. Superheroes embody the most positive and inclusive aspects of American culture. Arnaudo asserts that, amidst the exciting action, tender love stories, and tales of self-sacrifice, superheroes are role models for tolerance and moral decision making. Translated for the first time into English, The Myth of the Superhero looks beyond the cape, the mask, and the superpowers, presenting a serious study of the genre and its place in a broader cultural context.

Präzise, überraschende und respektvoll perfide Porträts großer Autoren – aus weiblicher Sicht. Die Klassiker der Literatur: In der erdrückenden Mehrzahl sind sie männlich. Eine Ödnis für Leserinnen? Keineswegs! Die virtuose Leserin Ulrike Draesner präsentiert uns ihre ganz eigene Ruhmeshalle männlicher Autoren : präzise, überraschende und respektvoll perfi de Porträts von Helden wie Heinrich von Kleist, Thomas Mann, Karl Valentin und vielen anderen. Männer haben es schwer. Denn sie müssen Helden sein. Nicht wenige der »klassisch« gewordenen Autoren haben sich in kriegerischen, heldischen Rollen versucht. Aber hat das Schreiben nicht per se etwas Unheroisches, ja Subversives? Ulrike Draesner spürt den Ursprüngen der Idee vom Helden nach, sie zeigt Schriftsteller in ihren heldischen und hinreißend unheldischen Posen und erzählt mit stupendem Wissen und großer Originalität von ihren Leseabenteuern. Und wie schon bei den Essays zu den »Schönen Frauen«, wo sich Flaubert unter die Autorinnen gemogelt hat, darf sich mit Tania Blixen auch eine Autorin zu den heimlichen Helden gesellen.

Ancient cities served as the actual, worldly landscape populated by “material” sites of memory. Some of these sites were personal and others were directly and intentionally involved in the shaping of a collective social memory, such as palaces, temples, inscriptions, walls, and gates. Many cities were also sites of social memory in a very different way. Like Babylon, Nineveh, or Jerusalem, they served as ciphers that activated and communicated various mnemonic worlds as they integrated multiple images, remembered events, and provided a variety of meanings in diverse ancient communities.Memory and the City in Ancient Israel contributes to the study of social memory in ancient Israel in the late Persian and early Hellenistic periods by exploring “the city,” both urban spaces and urban centers. It opens with a study that compares basic conceptualizing tendencies of cities in Mesopotamia with their counterparts in ancient Israel. Its essays then explore memories of gates, domestic spaces, threshing floors, palaces, city gardens and parks, natural and “domesticated” water in urban settings, cisterns, and wells. Finally, the studies turn to particular cities of memory in ancient Israel: Jerusalem, Samaria, Shechem, Mizpah, Tyre, Nineveh, and Babylon. The volume, which emerged from meetings of the European Association of Biblical Studies, includes the work of Stéphanie Anthonioz, Yairah Amit, Ehud Ben Zvi, KÃ¥re Berge, Diana Edelman, Hadi Ghantous, Anne Katrine Gudme, Philippe Guillaume, Russell Hobson, Steven W. Holloway, Francis Landy, Daniel Pioske, Ulrike Sals, Carla Sulzbach, Karolien Vermeulen, and Carey Walsh.
