Als kleiner Junge schnitt er Fotos aus Modezeitschriften aus und träumte vom großen Geld. Mit 15 eröffnete er einen Kleiderladen in einer Garage, und ein Jahr später war er der jüngste Stylist der Welt. Er kam ohne Geld nach Amerika und fing nochmal ganz von vorne an. Er designte für Diesel, Levi`s und Naf Naf und verhalf Von Dutch zum großen Durchbruch. Schließlich gründete er sein eigenes Label Ed Hardy. Damit wurde Audigier in kürzester Zeit zum King of Fashion. ····· 1036183340

Es ist geprägt von strenger Entsagung und zeigt die Einsamkeit eines `abgeschiedenen Träumers`, eines `Enterbten des Lebens`, dessen harter Dienst an der Schriftstellerei ihn an die Spitze des europäischen Geisteslebens führte. Im Zuge des 50. Geburtstages Thomas Manns entwirft A. Eloesser anhand ausgewählter Werke ein überaus kundiges Portrait dieses großen Schriftstellers, dessen Genius bis dato auch weit über die europäischen Grenzen hinaus hohe Verehrung erfährt. ····· 1036174585

····· lezzter Preis 8.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray There is much in this book that will interest the English artist. The story of the painter`s life is plainly told with just enough, scattered here and there, of filial affection and partiality to take it out of the level of ordinary biographies. The journals are rather short, and the correspondence is somewhat scanty, but the matter is generally good, and some of the criticisms will be found both original and suggestive. William Collins, the father of well-known author Wilkie Collins, was born in Great Titchfield Street, London, on the 18th of September 1788. His father was a native of Wicklow his mother was a Scottish lady, born in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. `It was a favourite tradition in the family of the painter,` writes his son, `that they were descended from the same stock as the great poet whose name they bore `a pleasing belief rendered additionally interesting by some anecdotes. ····· 1036146667
····· lezzter Preis 1.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Here William Dean Howells has written down the interesting facts of his life up to the time he went abroad as U. S. consul and not only the facts , but also the early impressions and numerous influences which went to mold the man and the writer. Born in 1837 , at Martin`s Ferry , Ohio , of mingled Welsh, German, English and Irish stock, the young son of a printer and publisher could set type almost from babyhood. Love of reading supplemented irregular schooling. He tells of his first efforts at writing, of the broad religious tolerant spirit in his father`s home , of his first experience of politics and the abolitionist movement. The family moved later to Dayton, and the young printer - for he worked hard to help his father - found a new interest here in the theater. In later chapters he pictures the life at the State Capital, Columbus, over a half century ago , with its political and social interests, and describes his own youthful enthusiasms. Here he aided his father in reporting the sessions of the legislature. When the family moved again to Ashtabula, young Howells varied his printing labors with the study of foreign languages. As a reporter for the Cincinnati Gazette and later for the Ohio State Journal he knew and revered the prominent journalists of the Middle West. This chronicling of his early literary successes and his first entrance into the Atlantic Monthly`s charmed circle show the future author with his feet firmly set on his life`s road. ····· 1036146659

Mr. Howells divides his retrospects into eight parts, and being personal they are in a sense chronological successive records of his autorial career, the steps of his journeys into the domain of authorship, and his impressions of certain of their inhabitants, of their individualities their work, or play, or whatever else seemed to distinguish them at the moment from the profane or vulgar, who did not write for fame, or scribble for bread. The headings of these parts, or chapters, are indications of these journeys, which were eastward, Mr. Howells` course of empire reversing that of Bishop Berkeley, which took its way westward, the first being entitled ``My First Visit to New England,` the second `First Impressions of Literary New York,` the third and fourth `Roundabout to Boston` and `Literary Boston as I Knew It,` and so on through separate personal chapters devoted to Holmes, Longfellow and Lowell, the last being a gathering-in of Mr. Howells` `Cambridge Neighbors.` ····· 1036146636

He was not very reverent in his attitude towards what he considers worn-out survivals of old beliefs and superstitions, and sometimes poked fun without much discrimination.

The Biographia Literaria (1817), a collection of his literary life and opininions, is both autobiographical and critical. Intended as a mere preface to a collected volume of his poems, explaining and justifying his own style and practice in poetry, the work grew under his hands to a literary autobiography, including, together with many facts concerning his education and studies and his early literary adventures, an extended criticism of Wordsworth`s theory of poetry as given in the preface to the `Lyrical Ballads` and a statement of Coleridge`s philosophical views. ····· 1036146108
····· lezzter Preis 2.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The same plan pursued in the admirable study of Emerson by Mr. Cooke is followed in this exhaustive inquiry into George Eliot`s ethical teachings as evinced in her writings. The author also gives quite a full sketch of her life and her literary methods, but these are secondary to the main purpose. In the endeavor to interpret thoroughly George Eliot`s religious and philosophical opinions, the author brings successively before the reader her most important worksanalyzing them keenly and quoting from them largely. He obtrudes his own opinions scarcely at all, allowing the great author to speak for herself through her books.

And in good sooth the light it throws on the latter is scarcely blinding. But it shows what Victor Hugo himself had come to regard as the poet`s mission. The poet, as he tells us, `for a truth, is a priest. There is but one pontiff here below,genius.` Whereupon, if we ask by what signs we are to recognise our spiritual pastors and masters, we are told that they are `the men who represent the total sum of the absolute realisable by man,` that they attain to the `highest summit of the human spirit,` ` the ideal,` where ` they occupy thrones,` and that their thoughts plunge into the abyss of the infinite. ····· 1036146031

····· lezzter Preis 1.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray With the materials that the famous authoress has left behind, the editors have endeavored to form an autobiography (if the term may be permitted) of George Eliot. The life has been allowed to write itself in extracts from her letters and journals. Free from the obtrusion of any mind but her own, this method perfectly shows the development of her intellect and character. By arranging all the letters and journals so as to form one connected whole, keeping the order of their dates, and with the least possible interruption of comment, the result was a narrative of day-to-day life, with the play of light and shade which only letters, written in various moods, can give, and without which no portrait can be a good likeness. This volume contains all three original books and the complete lifespan of George Eliot from her first letter in 1838 to her death in the year 1880. ····· 1036145945
····· lezzter Preis 3.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray A biography worth reading. The author has looked at Miss Austen more through his own eyes, and less through the eyes of her many illustrious eulogists, than any other writer we know of. Even when he is in harmony with the opinions of Miss Austen`s posterity one feels his first-handedness. Not one of his more heretical opinions exists for the sake of saying something new. This critical study of Jane Austen falls into three parts: the novelist the realist the woman. Part 1 is a searching and unsparing analysis of the six novels, with particular reterence to plot. Part 2 is a more brief and general treatment of the characters. Part 3, the biographical section, is a study of Miss Austen`s personality as revealed in her letters and reflected in the novels. ····· 1036145837
····· lezzter Preis 1.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The most interesting political character of the ending 19th century was undoubtedly the young man who filled the throne of the German Empire. Americans are so used to seeing young men filling important positions and administering great trusts that the mere question of age seems less important than it might be to members of other nationalities. But a man in his thirty-third year was unquestionably young to fill one of the highest yet almost irresponsible positions in the world. His opinions and actions were of vital significance to not merely his own subjects, but to the general interests of mankind, especially when it is remembered that he was the commander-in-chief of the most powerful of European armies, in discipline and organisation if not in mere numbers, and that his will and order could have set the world on fire. Hitherto he has, moreover, shown himself to be a man of no mean ability, very different from the non-entities that usually fill thrones, and his vast political power was enhanced by intellectual capacity of no mean order, backed by an imperious will. He seemed, in fact, on one side of his character at least, to be an ideal ruler. The present work is intended to give its readers a rapid view of the young Emperor`s character and public action, with so much of history and political review as may be needed to a full sketch of a personage of such weight and value, and of the conditions in which he himself and his great empire were placed. ····· 1036145831
