Snikskytter på østfronten er en voldsom skildring av krigens brutalitet. Vi møter skarpskytteren som må avgjøre om han skal drepe fienden eller få ham til å hyle av smerte. Overalt ligger det døde og sårede soldater. Han beskriver grusomhetene og overgrepene mot sivilbefolkningen og krigsfanger på begge sider. Det gikk særlig hardt ut over skarpskytterne, som var ekstra hatet og fryktet av fiendens soldater. Josef "Sepp" Allerberger var en østerriksk frivillig som kjempet på østfronten fra desember 1942. Etter å ha blitt skadet i Stavrapol øvde han seg opp til å bli skarpskytter, og ble etter hvert en av de mest suksessfulle skarpskytterne i den tyske hæren. I 1945 ble han som en av svært få menige tildelt Jernkorsets Ridderkors.

This book is a rare first-hand account by a ruthlessly efficient German sniper of life and death during the bitter conflict that followed the Nazi invasion of Russia. Josef 'Sepp' Allerberger was an Austrian conscript who qualified as a Wehrmacht machine-gunner and was drafted to the Southern sector of the Front in July 1942.After being wounded at Voroshilovsk, he experimented successfully with a captured Russian sniper-rifle whileconvalescing and returned to his unit as his regiment's only sniper specialist. In the gruelling months that followed, as the German Army was forced to withdraw under almost constant pressure from the Russians, Allerberger became the second most successful German sniper and one of the very few private soldiers to be awarded the coveted Knights Cross.This harrowing and graphic memoir provides a vivid insight to the atrocious conditions and brutal cruelty of this campaign. There was, we learn, no place for chivalry and few prisoners survived long after capture. Allerberger relates the cunning, discipline and fieldcraft that not only saw him survive during the near constant action but made him such a relentless assassin.

The study takes the received view among scholars that women in the Middle Ages were faced with sustained misogyny and that their voices were seldom heard in public and subjects it to a critical analysis. The ten chapters deal with various aspects of the question, and the voices of a variety of authors - both female and male - are heard. The study opens with an enquiry into violence against women, including in texts by male writers (Hartmann von Aue, Gottfried von Strassburg, Wolfram von Eschenbach) which indeed describe instances of violence, but adopt an extremely critical stance towards them. It then proceeds to show how women were able to develop an independent identity in various genres and could present themselves as authorities in the public eye. Mystic texts by Hildegard of Bingen, Marie de France and Margery Kempe, the medieval conduct poem known as Die Winsbeckin, the Devout Books of Sisters composed in convents in South-West Germany, but also quasi-historical documents such as the memoirs of Helene Kottaner or Anna Weckerin's cookery book, demonstrate that far more women were in the public gaze than had hitherto been assumed and that they possessed the self-confidence to establish their positions with their intellectual and their literary achievements.

We have been walking upright for almost six million years and soon learned how to offload our body's weight on the arch of the foot. Salvatore Ferragamo dedicated all his life to the study of the foot's anatomy, also researching into architecture and engineering, as we can understand by looking at his patents. Walking, dancing barefoot or en pointe, advancing along a wire in the manner of a tight-rope walker, climbing mountains, stepping and marching on orders, wandering about to find oneself, roaming around: these are just some of the themes dealt with in Equilibrium, the new project by the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo, curated by Stefania Ricci and Sergio Risaliti. This volume is based on the comparison among magnificent, important and meaningful artworks of various origin. The project has been developed through several media: painting, sculpture, photography, video, cinema and printed editions. The geometric balancing of Wassily Kandinsky is displayed alongside the thread-like structures of Fausto Melotti; Albrecht Durer's Fortuna with Giulio Paolini's funambulist; and portraits of Nijinsky alongside those of Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham and Trisha Brown.

Mannen og kunstneren. Fullstendig oversikt. I kortfattet tekst og med et vell av reproduksjoner gir disse bøkene et tilnærmet komplett bilde av kunstnerens produksjon.

Boken gir en bred og oversiktlig framstilling av kunsthistoriens utvikling gjennom de siste par hundre år. Boken er en omarbeidet og utvidet utgave av Larssons Metoder i konstvetenskapen, som har vært et standardverk innen kunsthistorie og kunstvitenskap siden utgivelsen i 1971. Bakgrunnen for kunstvitenskapen, dens pionerer og connaisseurer, kunsten og samfunnet, innflytelsen fra psykologien - er blant de mange temaene i den historiske oversikten. Larsson har tatt for seg et utvalg av sentrale kunstverk, og lar hvert enkelt verk bli analysert av flere betydelige skoler og metoder - ofte med svært forskjellig resultat. De mange og varierte innfallsvinklene medvirker til å gi en levende og engasjerende framstilling av stoffet. Lars Olof Larsson (f. 1938) er professor i kunsthistorie ved Christian Albrecht Universität i Kiel. Han har tidligere utgitt fem bøker, og publisert en rekke arbeider innenfor kunsthistorie - med vekt på nordisk symbolisme og nederlandsk skulptur i overgangen mellom renessanse og barokk.

The chastity belt is one of those objects people have commonly identified with the ?dark? Middle Ages. This book analyzes the origin of this myth and demonstrates how a convenient misconception, or rather contorted imagination, of an allegedly historical practice has led to profoundly erroneous interpretations of alleged control mechanisms used by jealous husbands in the Middle Ages.

Contrary to modern assumptions, sexual violence and rape were treated as severe crimes in the Middle Ages. This book examines the testimony in medieval and early modern German literature and traces the discourse on both aspects from the twelfth through the sixteenth centuries. Most comments about rape come from male writers, and medieval literature contains numerous examples of rape sceneswhich are mostly viewed highly critically. Previous studies on this topic have focused on English, French, and Italian literature, whereas here the emphasis rests on German examples.

The contributors to the present volume examine, from a wide variety of perspectives, the issues of war and peace in the Middle Ages and early modern time, probing the direction of the relevant discourse regarding the legitimacy of military operations. We can identify many voices in medieval literature, theology, philosophy, and in chronicle literature that questioned the validity and effectiveness of war, while others argued for the traditional knightly ideals or called for crusades against the infidels. As this volume demonstrates, war and peace have fundamentally determined medieval and earl
