Einen großen Teil seiner prosaischen Werke bilden seine Essays ab, hier Teil 13. Dabei stehen Comics und deren Humor im Vordergrund, wobei ein großer Bogen vom Postkartenwitz, gekennzeichnet durch Brüller und Kalauer, welche die Monotonie der staatlich geförderten Lebensart in Form einer anscheinend anständigen Fassade durch den Kakao ziehen, zum etwas tiefsinnigeren Humor von Literaturklassikern geschlagen wird. Gewissermaßen vom Witz des Pöbels zu dem des Bildungsbürgertums, aber nun ja, über Humor lässt sich bekanntlich nicht streiten – oder doch?

Story0
Geboren in der ehemaligen britischen Kolonie Indien verlief das Leben von George Orwell alles andere als geradlinig. Womöglich durch die brutale Fremdherrschaft des Empires über Indien und durch Stalins organisierten Staatsterror und Massenmord angewidert, entwickelte er sich zu einem überzeugten sozialistischen Demokraten, der alle Machtorgane von möglichst vielen Menschen organisiert und Machtumsetzung immer auf möglichst vielen Schultern verteilt sehen wollte. Einen großen Teil seiner prosaischen Werke bilden seine Essays ab, hier Teil 21.

There is no more dramatic scene in literary history than the stormy night by Lake Geneva when Byron, Claire Clairmont, Polidori and the Shelleys met to talk of horror and the unexplained. From that emerged Frankenstein, a monster who has haunted imaginations for 200 years. Miranda Seymour illustrates the rich and unexplored life of Mary Shelley. Everything from her childhood to her tempestuous relationship with Percy Shelley; Seymour brings to life the brilliant mind that created Frankenstein through unexplored and intriguing sources.

Story74
Every memoir is a battle between reality and invention - but in her follow up to Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys., Viv Albertine has reinvented the genre with her unflinching honesty. To Throw Away Unopened is a fearless dissection of one woman's obsession with the truth - the truth about family, power and her identity as a rebel and outsider. It is a gaping wound of a book, both an exercise in bloodletting and psychological archaeology, excavating what lies beneath: the fear, the loneliness, the anger.

Story6
In 1572, Montaigne - nobleman, humanist, and thoroughly Renaissance man - retired to the seclusion of his estate in the Dordogne and started to write. From his pen poured a stream of "essays" - attempts to capture the observations that came to him on an idiosyncratic range of subjects, from ancient customs, cannibals, and books to thumbs, war-horses, and the wearing of clothes. He made the study of himself the starting point for investigations into how to live, and wrote with a startlingly modern candor about love, grief, friendship, sex, and death.

Story21
From acclaimed author Ursula K. Le Guin, and with an introduction by Karen Joy Fowler, a collection of thoughts - always adroit, often acerbic - on aging, belief, the state of literature, and the state of the nation. Ursula K. Le Guin has taken listeners to imaginary worlds for decades. Now she's in the last great frontier of life, old age, and exploring new literary territory: the blog, a forum where her voice - sharp, witty, as compassionate as it is critical - shines. No Time to Spare collects the best of Ursula's blog, presenting perfectly crystallized dispatches on what matters.

In W B Yeats wird die Literatur des ersten irischen Literatur-Nobelpreisträgers unter die Lupe genommen und dabei festgestellt, dass dessen persönlicher Hang zum Mystischen und Okkulten durchaus in seine schriftlichen Ergüsse einflossen, wobei Orwell als Quintessenz resultiert, dass auffallende Parallelen zwischen eingefleischten Religionsanhängern und Faschisten in Bezug auf den Hang zur Erklärung der Welt durch einfache Antworten besteht.

In Raffles und Miss Blandish untersucht Orwell das gerade in der Bücher- und Filmwelt aufkommende Phänomen des sympathischen Gentleman-Verbrechertyps, der Romantisierung von Kriminalität und die Glorifizierung des Prinzips „Die Macht des Stärkeren". Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, wer die Verbrechen verübt, da der Staat genauso korrupt und kriminell agiert wie das organisierte Verbrechen, also im Prinzip der Erfolg alle Mittel rechtfertigt.

In Freiheit des Parks zeigt Orwell anhand eines relativ banalen Vorfalls, nämlich der Verhaftung von Zeitungsjungen wegen Verkauf von Zeitungen, die offensichtlichen Schwachstellen demokratischer Gesellschaften, welche in ihrem Funktionieren nicht nur von ihren exekutiven und judikativen Organen abhängig sind, sondern eben auch von den Menschen, die dahinter stehen.

Geboren in der ehemaligen britischen Kolonie Indien verlief das Leben von George Orwell alles andere als geradlinig. Als junger Mann stand er zwar kommunistischen Ideen offen gegenüber und in seinen frühen Texten finden sich auch antisemitische Vorurteile, doch mit der Zeit und in reiferen Jahren distanzierte sich Orwell öffentlich und in seinen schriftstellerischen Werken ohne Wenn und Aber von seinen jugendlichen Dummheiten.

Darin vergleicht Orwell die Wirtschaftsstruktur von Sozialismus mit der Gewinn maximierenden Eigenart der freien Marktwirtschaft – dem Kapitalismus und die daraus resultierenden Gefahren für die Gesellschaft. Er erklärt, warum extrem reiche Leute eher mit dem Faschismus sympathisieren und warum im Allgemeinen die oberen 10.000 von politisch extremen Regierungen entlastet und gefördert werden. Ein kritischer Punkt für freie Gesellschaften ist laut Orwell dann erreicht, wenn „Langeweile auf Stagnation" trifft.

Libertin, épicurien, esthète et séducteur incorrigible, Giacomo Casanova incarne le 18e siècle. Jouir de chaque instant fut le précepte de toute sa vie. Grâce à ses mémoires où il consigne ses moindres faits et gestes, de 1725 à 1798, nous pénétrons dans l'intime du 18e, des menus, des lieux, des pensées, des goûts de l'époque. Rédigées en français, ses mémoires, dont le manuscrit est accessible sur le site de la B.N.F., expriment son amour, immense, des femmes et de la vie, avec une précision parfois croustillante et une verve toujours savoureuse.
