Downton Abbey and Philosophy : Thinking in That Manor (9780812699036)



In Downton Abbey and Philosophy, twenty-two professional thinkers uncover the deeper significance of this hugely popular TV saga. Millions of viewers throughout the world have been enthralled by this enactment of a vanished world of decorum and propriety, because it presents us with emotional and interpersonal problems that remain urgent for people in the twenty-first century. Why do we attach such importance to our memories and to particular places? What do war and epidemics tell us about life in peacetime and in good health? Is it healthy or harmful for people to feel that they know their place? What does Downton Abbey teach us about the changes in women's roles since 1912? Do good manners always agree with good morals? How can everybody know what no one will talk about? What's the justification for a class of people who pride themselves on not having a job? Should we sometimes just accept the reality of social barriers to love, and abandon the pursuit? What happens when community reinforces oppression? All of these and many other issues are discussed through a detailed examination of the actual characters and situations in Downton Abbey.

Der Schneekimono (9783458176824)

»Willst du dein Leben erkennen, musst du es durch die Augen eines anderen sehen.« Auguste Jovert lebt zurückgezogen in seiner Wohnung in Paris. Eines Tages steht ein Fremder vor seiner Tür, der ihm die Geschichte seines Freundes, des Japaners Katsuo Ikeda, erzählt. Ikeda führte ein bewegtes Leben als Schriftsteller, verliebte sich unsterblich in die schöne Mariko. Doch als er ihr wiederholt ihren Wunsch nach einem Kind ausschlägt, verlässt sie ihn.

Colonization: Down to Earth (1400163994)

In 1942, Hitler led the world's most savage military machine. Stalin ruled Russia while America was just beginning to show its strength in World War II. Then, in Harry Turtledove's brilliantly imagined Worldwar saga, an alien assault changed everything. Nuclear destruction engulfed major cities, and the invaders claimed half the planet before an uneasy peace could be achieved. A spectacular tale of tyranny and freedom, destruction and hope, the Colonization series takes us into the tumultuous 1960s, as the reptilian Race ponders its uneasy future. But now a new, even deadlier war threatens. Though the clamoring tribes of Earth play dangerous games of diplomacy, the ultimate power broker will be the Race itself. For the colonists have one option no human can ignore. With a vast, ancient empire already in place, the Race has the power to annihilate every living being on planet Earth. Product details ...
