  • The Nemedian Chroniclers #22 [WS16]
    REHeapa Winter Solstice 2016 By Lee A. Breakiron A WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON Few fiction authors are as a widely published internationally as Robert E. Howard (e.g., in Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Yugoslavian). As former REHupan Vern Clark states: Robert E. Howard has long been one of America’s stalwarts of Fantasy Fiction overseas, with extensive translations of his fiction & poetry, and an ever mushrooming distribution via foreign graphic story markets dating back to the original REH paperback boom of the late 1960’s. This steadily increasing presence has followed the growing stylistic and market influence of American fantasy abroad dating from the initial translations of H.P. Lovecraft’s Arkham House collections in Spain, France, and Germany. The growth of the HPL cult abroad has boded well for other American exports of the Weird Tales school, and with the exception of the Lovecraft Mythos, the fantasy fiction of REH has proved the most popular, becoming an international literary phenomenon with translations and critical publications in Spain, Germany, France, Greece, Poland, Japan, and elsewhere. [1] All this shows how appealing REH’s exciting fantasy is across cultures, despite inevitable losses in stylistic impact through translations. Even so, there is sometimes enough enthusiasm among readers to generate fandom activities and publications. We have already covered those in France. [2] Now let’s take a look at some other countries. GERMANY, AUSTRIA, AND SWITZERLAND The first Howard stories published in German were in the fanzines Pioneer #25 and Lands of Wonder ‒ Pioneer #26 (Austratopia, Vienna) in 1968 and Pioneer of Wonder #28 (Follow, Passau, Germany) in 1969.

  • Bertelsmann-2009.Pdf
    ag du bist bertelsmann Bertelsmann Der Konzern und die Familie 1. Geschichte einer Unternehmenskultur. Christlicher Verlag 1835 eröffnete der Buchbinder Carl Bertelsmann in Gütersloh einen Verlag mit Buchdruckerei. Seither befindet sich der C. Bertelsmann Verlag unter Kontrolle der Eigentümerfamilie. Neben seiner Verlegertätigkeit übte Carl Bertelsmann das Amt des staatlichen Steuereintreibers aus und verwaltete die Gütersloher Kommunalkasse. Der C. Bertelsmann Verlag vertrieb hauptsächlich Erbauungsliteratur für die pietistische Erweckungsbewegung, der Carl angehörte und über deren Organisationsstrukturen auch der Vertrieb erfolgte. Hinzu kamen Schul- und Jugendbücher, sowie weltliche Liedersammlungen. Seinem pietistischen Glauben entsprechend widmete sich Carl der Armenpflege und engagierte sich für die Gründung des Evangelisch-Stiftschen- Gymnasiums in Gütersloh. Unter seinem Sohn Heinrich Bertelsmann (Verlagsleitung ab 1851) stieg der C. Bertelsmann Verlag zu einem der vier größten theologischen Verlagshaus Deutschlands auf. Als zweites Standbein setzte Heinrich auf ein pädagogisches und literarisches Mischprogramm bereits etablierter Autoren. Neben dem Direktvertrieb erweiterte Heinrich seinen Kundenkreis ab 1864 über den Vertrieb an der Haustür durch so genannte Kolporteure. Auch Heinrich übernahm Ehrenämter in der Kirchengemeinde und betätigte sich als Wohltäter, der für Schulen und Armen- und Krankenpflege großzügig spendete. Um politischen Einfluss zu gewinnen brachte Heinrich Bertelsmann 1859 ein Volksblatt heraus, gründete die Christlich-Konservative Partei und ließ sich zum Stadtverordneten wählen. Dennoch blieb er politisch erfolglos. Zum Ende seiner Zeit als Verlagschef gründete er eine Invaliden- und Pensionskasse für die ArbeiterInnen und Angestellten des Betriebs. Die Fürsorge in Verbindung mit strengen Disziplinierungsmaßnahmen sollte das Pflichtbewusstsein und die Leistungsbereitschaft der Beschäftigten stärken. Mit fristlosen Entlassungen war bedroht, wer sich während der Arbeitszeit wiederholt Speisen und Getränke holen ließ.

Printed in the United States of America oi.uchicago.edu PREFACE HE book contains twelve chapters, but it can be broken up structurally into five parts. First, the place of writing among the various systems of human inter­ communication is discussed. This is followed by four Tchapters devoted to the descriptive and comparative treatment of the various types of writing in the world. The sixth chapter deals with the evolution of writing from the earliest stages of picture writing to a full alphabet. The next four chapters deal with general problems, such as the future of writing and the relationship of writing to speech, art, and religion. Of the two final chapters, one contains the first attempt to establish a full terminology of writing, the other an extensive bibliography. The aim of this study is to lay a foundation for a new science of writing which might be called grammatology. While the general histories of writing treat individual writings mainly from a descriptive-historical point of view, the new science attempts to establish general principles governing the use and evolution of writing on a comparative-typological basis.
