    Schöpfer der Albträume

    Dem Albtraum ein Antlitz geben - die faszinierende Künstlerbiografie Johann Heinrich Füsslis Johann Heinrich Füssli (1741-1825) war einer der provokativsten und erfinderischsten Künstler des 18. Jahrhunderts. Am bekanntesten ist er für sein Gemälde 'Der Albtraum', mit dem er eine neue Form erschreckender gotischer Bilder für das romantische Zeitalter schuf. Füssli thematisiert in seinem Werk immer wieder die abgründige Welt der Träume und Visionen. Christopher Baker folgt Füsslis Lebensweg von Zürich nach Paris, Rom und schließlich London, wo er zu anhaltendem Ruhm gelangte. Dabei entsteht das Bild des Künstlers auf seinem Weg vom Priester zum Schriftsteller, als selbst ernanntes Genie und 'verrückte', unberechenbare Kraft in der Kunstwelt.

    A History of Thailand

    Since it was first published in 2005, A History of Thailand has been hailed as an authoritative, lively and readable account of Thailand's political, economic, social and cultural history. From the early settlements in the Chao Phraya basin to today, Baker and Phongpaichit trace how a world of mandarin nobles and unfree peasants was transformed by colonialism, the expansion of the rice frontier and the immigration of traders and labourers from southern China. This book examines how the monarchy managed the foundation of a new nation‐state at the end of the nineteenth century, and how urban nationalists, ambitious generals, communist rebels and business politicians competed to take control through the twentieth century. It tracks Thailand's economic changes, globalisation and the evolution of mass society, and draws on popular culture to dramatize social trends. This edition contains a new chapter on Thailand's turbulent politics since 2006 and incorporates new sources and research throughout.

  12. From the Fifty Jātaka

    From the Fifty Jātaka

    For over two thousand years, j¿taka-tales of the Buddha's previous lives-have been popular as teaching and entertainment. Apart from the classical Indian j¿taka, many others in Southeast Asia were assembled in collections known as the "Fifty J¿taka" (Paññ¿sa J¿taka). They are now acclaimed as the lifeblood of the region's literature. This book offers the first published English translations of twenty-one stories from the Thailand collection, including some of the best-known Thai stories: Sudhana-Manohar¿, the Golden Conch, and Rathasena, among other quests, moral tales, strings of riddles, and story cycles. Here the tales are translated fully and faithfully with notes and accompanying information on the Thailand collection.
