"John Tytell's work offers an interpretive study that confronts the emotional truths and psychological drama that formed this complex and controversial American poet. It presents an exploration into the mind and vision of a man who galvanized a generation and challenged an entire literary - and world - establishment. Although he enjoyed little fame in his lifetime, Pound's notoriety and influence were enormous, as he arrogantly slashed away at convention and almost single-handedly brought about the twentieth-century revolution in poetry known as modernism. Ultimately, outrage and scandal turned his art to madness, and Pound's last years saw him fall tragically silent."--BOOK JACKET.

Martin Buber, der am 8. Februar 1878 in Wien zur Welt kam und am 13. Juni 1965 in Jerusalem gestorben ist, gehört zweifelsohne zu den zentralen Gestalten des europäischen Judentums unseres Jahrhunderts. Er wurde zum Botschafter für den Geist des Judentums, vor allem im deutschen Sprachbereich, wirkte aber darüber hinaus auf die christliche Theologie des gesamten Abendlandes.

Bob Dylan: The Essential Interviews features over two dozen of the most significant and revealing conversations with the singer, gathered in one definitive collection that spans his career from street poet to Nobel Laureate. First published in 2006, this acclaimed collection brought together the best interviews and encounters with Bob Dylan to create a multi-faceted, cultural, and journalistic portrait of the artist and his legacy. This edition includes three additional pieces from Rolling Stone that update the volume to the present day. Among the highlights are the seminal Rolling Stone interviews--anthologized here for the first time--by Jann Wenner, Jonathan Cott, Kurt Loder, Mikal Gilmore, Douglas Brinkley, and Jonathan Lethem--as well as Nat Hentoff's legendary 1966 Playboy interview. Surprises include Studs Terkel's radio interview in 1963 on WFMT in Chicago, the interview Dylan gave to screenwriter Jay Cocks when he was a student at Kenyon College in 1964, a 1965 interview with director Nora Ephron, and an interview Sam Shepard turned into a one-act play for Esquire in 1987.
