Jesus, The True Story. Wells and many more. It is a humorous tale about two very bad little boys who go through a series of pranks and end up badly, very, very badly. The rhyme flows nicely, although the language includes some colloquial German words and was not always clear to me. The newly expanded version of this classic offers replete with even more stories from Forrest J Ackerman and his talented friends and collaborators. She just could not fathom why the boys were doing such naughty, mean, and hurtful pranks. It is a children's story - but Wikimedia Commons.

Uncle is nearly asleep when he feels the bugs walking on his nose. But after having finally read my first Max und Moritz translation into English, namely Andy Gaus' and thus comparatively recent Max and Moritz and Other Bad Boy Tales , I can definitely say that while I have found Gaus' presented introduction about both Wilhelm Busch and his Max und Moritz both interesting and enlightening, the Andy Gaus' actual translation feels quite majorly awkward and because Gaus is too slavishly trying to keep to Wilhelm Busch's original rhyming scheme and rhythm often also annoyingly halting and lacking in that which makes Wilhelm Busch's original text so lively and so rollicking.

Down By The River. Wilhelm Busch, much like his contemporary Heinrich Hoffmann of Der Struwwelpeter fame breaks and actually very clearly and vehemently ruptures with the popular philosophy of the early 19th century that children in their "natural" state are supposedly both innocent and thus perfection which ideal is in stark contrast to the concept of childhood that had been promoted in the latter part of the 18th century, where children, including literary children, are for the most part seen and depicted as miniature adults to be moulded and shaped at will. But Max and Moritz are also individuals in their own right, and as such, they are clearly and obviously depicted as being viciously nasty and sadistic by nature and with their shenanigans basically having reaped what they have deliberately and callously sown.

  • Failure of Instrumentalization
    Trickster as Figure and Force:Ambivalence in Busch’s and Hoffmann’s picture-books Katrien Vloeberghs, Antwerp ISSN 1470 – 9570 Trickster as Figure and Force 57 Trickster as Figure and Force: Ambivalence in Busch’s and Hoffmann’s picture-books Katrien Vloeberghs, Antwerp German nineteenth century children's literature tends to represent an intact and harmonious world in which conflict situations are avoided. The disobedient child embodies a potential disturbance and children's literature affirms proper behaviour and attitude toward authority. This appears not to hold true as far as the picture-books by Heinrich Hoffmann and Wilhelm Busch are concerned. Their complexity may explain their enduring success. Busch's famous stories Max und Moritz, Fipps der Affe and Eispeter and Hoffmann's Struwwelpeter provide a moral agreement. Hoffmann's and Busch's tales can be read as typical examples of 'intimidation-stories': disobedient children experience a cruel but justified punishment. But a closer analysis shows that this pattern functions primarily as a protective layer hiding a different story. Subliminally, Busch's and Hoffmann's tales hide a disorienting and even subversive attitude. Of the many levels on which such an alternative meaning can be detected, two are discussed in this analysis: the first concerns the action and the characterization of the protagonists, the second the reliability of the narrating instance. It is generally acknowledged that German nineteenth century children’s literature represents an intact and harmonious world in which conflict situations, particularly those involving parental authority, are avoided. Within the parental rule of law, the disobedient child embodies a potential disturbance.

Plusieurs thèmes sont abordés dans l’exposition : la vie de l’artiste, ses carica- tures, l’influence de la photographie sur son travail, ses peintures, réservées au cercle de ses intimes et redécouvertes après sa mort… Sans oublier les aventures de Max & Moritz, premiers héros de la bande dessi- née moderne… dont les blagues, à l'image de Pim Pam Poum ou de Quick & Flupke de Hergé, tournent autour d'événements burlesques, parfois sadiques, mais toujours pourvus d'humour.

Influenced by Eastern thought, he maintained that the "truth was recognized by the sages of India";[2] consequently, his solutions to suffering were similar to those of Vedantic and Buddhist thinkers (i.e. asceticism); his faith in "transcendental ideality"[3] led him to accept atheism and learn from Christian philosophy.[4][5][6] At age 25, he published his doctoral dissertation, On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason, which examined the four distinct aspects[7] of experience in the phenomenal world; consequently, he has been influential in the history of phenomenology. He has influenced a long list of thinkers, including Friedrich Nietzsche,[8] Richard Wagner, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Erwin Schrödinger, Albert Einstein,[9] Sigmund Schopenhauer's birthplace — house Freud, Otto Rank, Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Leo Tolstoy, Thomas in, Gdańsk (Danzig), ul.

In this thesis, Busch‘s aesthetic views on art and literature are gleaned from a variety of his writings including his mature prose piece Eduards Traum (1891). This study argues that Busch‘s aesthetics in this piece anticipated a number of developments associated with the German Moderne, such as complex narrative techniques, distorted states of time and space, ambiguity, fragmentation, and surrealistic modes of expression.

  • Arthur Schopenhauer
    Arthur Schopenhauer “Schopenhauer” redirects here. For other uses, see Schopenhauer (disambiguation). Arthur Schopenhauer (German: [ˈaʁtʊʁ ˈʃɔpənˌhaʊ̯ɐ]; 22 February 1788 – 21 September 1860) was a German philosopher. He is best known for his 1818 work The World as Will and Representation, in which he charac- terizes the phenomenal world, and consequently all hu- man action, as the product of a blind, insatiable, and malignant metaphysical will.[2][3] Proceeding from the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant, Schopen- hauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical sys- tem that has been described as an exemplary manifesta- tion of philosophical pessimism,[4][5][6] rejecting the con- temporaneous post-Kantian philosophies of German ide- alism.[7][8] Schopenhauer was among the first thinkers in Western philosophy to share and affirm significant tenets of Eastern philosophy (e.g., asceticism, the world- as-appearance), having initially arrived at similar conclu- sions as the result of his own philosophical work.[9][10] His writing on aesthetics, morality, and psychology would ex- ert important influence on thinkers and artists throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Though his work failed to garner substantial attention during his life, Schopenhauer’s posthumous impact has proven profound across various disciplines, including philosophy, literature, and science. Those who have cited his influence include Friedrich Nietzsche,[11] Richard Wagner, Leo Tolstoy, Ludwig Wittgenstein,[12] Erwin Schrödinger, Sigmund Freud, Joseph Campbell, Albert Einstein,[13] Carl Jung, Thomas Mann, Jorge Luis Borges, [14] and Samuel Beckett, among others.
