George Harrison: The Third Eye (Deutsche Ausgabe)
The Third Eye zeigt aus der einzigartigen künstlerischen Perspektive des Beatle, Leadgitarristen und Sängers die Welt der Kultband und ihren phänomenalen Einfluss auf die Musik- und PopgeschichteBei den Touren der Beatles um die Welt hatte George Harrison seine Pentax immer dabei. Der Leadgitarrist und Sänger dokumentierte den Weg seiner Band von Liverpool bis Tahiti, in Fernsehstudios ebenso wie in stillen Momenten abseits des Rampenlichts. Kuratiert von seiner Frau Olivia Harrison, vereint das Buch persönliche Fotografien und 8¿mm-Filmstills. Es begleitet Paul, John, Ringo und George und ihr Umfeld während des Aufstiegs der Band und der weltweiten Beatlemania. Die Fotografien zeigen die Beatles auf ihrer ersten Reise in die USA, im australischen Outback und auf Pariser Shoppingtouren. Georges Harrisons spontane, ehrliche Aufnahmen - geprägt von Witz, Intelligenz und Experimentierfreude - eröffnen einen exklusiven und sehr persönlichen Blick auf die Menschen hinter der Legende.

Revolutionary bodies
Revolutionary bodies provides a detailed study of the erotics and politics of the male body in Irish fiction. Some of the authors discussed in the book include: Oscar Wilde, Brendan Behan, John Broderick, Colm Tóibín, Keith Ridgway, Jamie O'Neill, Micheál Ó Conghaile and Barry McCrea. The book critically analyses the emergence of contemporary Irish gay fiction since 1993, especially its most notable genres: the coming out romance and the historical romance. It assesses the role of the novel in the evolution of Irish LGBT politics, mapping a literary and cultural space where the utopian aspirations of sexual liberation have clashed with the reformism and neo-liberal political rationality of identity politics. Revolutionary bodies offers a unique critical intervention into our understanding of queer Irish cultures in the wake of the 2015 referendum and the Varadkar election.

COLM TOIBIN
This monograph is a serious sustained study of one of Ireland's most important emerging literary practitioners : Colm Toibin. Professor Turner focuses on the origins of Toibin's career, his stylistic and thematic shift that became apparent in THE STORY OF NIGHT(1996). Another aspect of this critical evaluation is an examination of Toibin's career as a journalist and non fiction writer. This period in Toibin's life began the process of investigation into Marian veneration and belief one of the key elements and characterics of Irish Catholicism especially in rural and small town Southern Ireland. Turner discusses THE BLACKWATER LIGHTSHIP, Marian veneration in Ireland(SEEING IS BELIEVING), Toibin's Hispanic and Internationalist vocabularies(THE SOUTH and THE STORY OF THE NIGHT), sons and lovers in Toibin's fictive universe (THE HEATHER BLAZING and THE BLACKWATER LIGHTSHIP), religion and journalism as in the nonfiction THE SIGN OF THE CROSS and SEEING IS BELIEVING and finally Toibin's sexual politics and homosexuality and their effect on his work.

A Different Story
Colm Toibin published his first book in 1985 and, in the three decades since, has been a central voice within popular Irish cultural and intellectual discourse. Toibin is one of the most widely read and critically respected of Irish contemporary novelists, both in Europe and in North America, and his fiction has justly earned him an international reputation and an ever-growing popularity. His use of many literary forms - the newspaper essay, the travel book, the historical study, reviews, broadcasts, best-selling novels, and short stories - all attest to his crucial influence on Irish public discourse and Irish identity. Accessible, informative, and written for a wide audience, A Different Story presents the only complete study of Colm Toibin's writing life to date, drawing on the newly-opened Colm Toibin literary archive in the National Library, Dublin.
