The Dreadful History and Judgement of God on Thomas Muntzer - Andrew Drummond
#39;The princes are nothing but tyrants who flay the people; they fritter away our blood and sweat on their pomp and whoring and knavery.’ These were the words of Thomas Müntzer at the head of the massed ranks of a peasant army in the year 1525. Ranged against him were the might of the princes of the German Nation. How did Müntzer, the son of a coin maker from central Germany, rise in just a few short years to become one of the most feared revolutionaries in early modern Europe?In this brilliant work of historical excavation, Andrew Drummond charts the life and times of the man Martin Luther denounced as a ‘Ravening Wolf’ and ‘False Prophet’. Drummond shows us Müntzer as a human being. Far from the bloodthirsty devil of legend, he was a man of considerable learning and principle, deeply sympathetic to the misery of the peasantry and the poor. In his short life – he was beheaded at thirty-five – Müntzer promised to fundamentally upend German society.Seeking to save Müntzer from the condescension of history, Drummond guides us through the religious and political disputes of the Reformation, placing his life and thought in the context of those turbulent years. The result is a portrait of an often contradictory but always radical figure, one who continues to inspire movements of the poor across the globe.

Phantom of the Idol 3 - Hijiki Isoflavone
Yuuya, one half of the boy pop duo ZINGS, may be the laziest performer in the Japanese music industry. His partner is out there giving 110% every night (and, thankfully, he s quite popular), but Yuuya s half-assed, sloppy dancing, and his frankly hostile attitude toward the audience, has the fans hating him and his agent looking for any excuse to cut him loose. After a particularly lifeless concert appearance, Yuuya meets a girl backstage. She s dressed to the nines in a colorful outfit, she s full of vim and vigor, and all she wants from life is to perform. There s just one problem: She s been dead for a year. This is the ghost of Asahi Mogami, the beloved singer whose time on the stage was tragically cut short, unless... If ghosts are real, is spirit possession really that much of a stretch?

Thomas Hardy
This volume in the 21st-Century Oxford Authors series offers students a comprehensive selection of the work of Thomas Hardyâ ”the first for nearly thirty years. The edition presents the poetry in a new way by using the text of Hardy s individual volumes, as they appeared originally, instead of the revised text he later produced for his Collected Poems. This edition reveals the range and variety of his outputâ ”qualities he later tended to disguise. His most famous sequence, Poems of 1912-13, appears in a radically different form. Selections from his epic drama, The Dynasts, are given within the chronological sequence of his poetry, illustrating the power of this neglected work. Notebook and journal entries where Hardy puts forward his understanding of poetry and the role of the poet are also included. Uniquely generous in the number of poems it contains, this edition also provides extensive annotation, locating Hardy s work in its cultural context and reading it in the light of the critical reception. The notes direct attention towards Hardy s regional heritage, and they show his response to the issues and debates of his dayâ ”to discussions surrounding war, patriotism, the treatment of animals, marriage, and religion, among others. The annotation identifies, in addition, how Hardy s work has continued to speak to present-day readers, by addressing present-day concernsâ ”in particular, gender, including the gender(s) of the poetic voice, the global and (or versus) the local, and humanity s place within the natural world. The edition also includes an Introduction to the life and works of Hardy and a Chronology.

The Magician - Colm Tóibín
From one of our greatest living writers comes a sweeping novel of unrequited love and exile, war and family. The Magician tells the story of Thomas Mann, whose life was filled with great acclaim and contradiction. He would find himself on the wrong side of history in the First World War, cheerleading the German army, but have a clear vision of the future in the second, anticipating the horrors of Nazism. He would have six children and keep his homosexuality hidden; he was a man forever connected to his family and yet bore witness to the ravages of suicide. He would write some of the greatest works of European literature, and win the Nobel Prize, but would never return to the country that inspired his creativity. Through one life, Colm Toibin tells the breathtaking story of the twentieth century.

Beginning with several chapters devoted to assessing the aesthetic importance of Kinsella s native Dublin, this volume traces the evolution of the poet s work from the early formalism of the 1950s through the Jungian-inspired explorations of the psyche, his fascination with personal origins and Irish mythology, and the open-ended sequences that characterized his mature poetry.
