Lafayette, Hero of Two Worlds : The Art and Pageantry of His Farewell Tour of America, 1824-1825 : Essays
Stanley J. Idzerda, Anne C. Loveland, and Marc H. Miller
Produced to accompany an exhibition commemorating General Gilbert du Motier Lafayette's triumphal visit to America nearly 50 years after the outbreak of the American Revolution--in which his participation proved indispensable--this felicitous mesh of history and art presents such curiosities as a coach that carried Lafayette from Albany to Buffalo and a breast pin con taining locks of Lafayette's and George Washington's hair. Idzerda (co-editor of Lafayette in the Age of the American Revolution ) contributes a biographical essay. Loveland ( Emblem of Liberty: The Image of Lafayette in the American Mind ) captures the reactions of the populace to this hero of two revolutions and defines the manner in which his visit acted as ``a crucial impetus to American nationalism.'' Miller, curator of the Queens (N.Y.) Museum, distinguishes the styles of portraits and busts of the period, examines Lafayette's influence on the restoration of Revolutionary War sites and traces the shapes of monuments to their classical origins.

The Ideal of Heimat in the Works of Hermann Hesse
Andreas Kiryakakis
This analysis of the ideal of Heimat in Hesse's Demian, Siddhartha and Steppenwolf is a significant contribution to Hesse scholarship, as well as a fascinating re-evaluation of the culture-bound concept of Heimat itself. Kiryakakis shows how the three novels form a trilogy, with each successive hero expanding upon and benefitting from the experiences of his precursor, and draws parallels between the novels and Hesse's own tenuous relationship to his Heimat. Using both textual and biographical analysis, he examines the three novels within the framework of a continuum, which reflects various developmental stages in the heros' search for the lost ideal of Heimat. Thus he shows how, ultimately, the trilogy not only depicts the development of an individual, but epitomizes the very nature of twentieth-century existence.

Euripides’ Iphigenia at Aulis
Donald Richardson and Scott Richardson
There have been some excellent efforts by modern translators in rendering the choral parts of Aristophanes’ comedies as discernibly entertaining songs, but so far there has been little serious endeavor toward doing the same with the songs of tragedy. This translation is an attempt to do that. The songs herein are unmistakably songs. The content, tone, and themes of each are strictly Euripides’; their formats and musical idioms are modern.
Because this is not a line-for-line translation and because we have taken liberties with the lyrics, we are calling this an adaptation rather than a translation. In our own minds it is a translation, however, for it is more in keeping with the spirit of Iphigenia at Aulis than any other version we know of.
Music has been composed for all the songs. It has been arranged for keyboard, guitar, bass, and drums and is available through either collaborator upon request. [from the Preface] -

Q: The Sayings of Jesus
Ivan Havener OSB and Polag Athanasius OSB
Includes selections from the Gospels in the Revised Standard version according to the arrangement in Polag, A. Fragmenta Q., 1982.
For over a century, biblical scholars have agreed that parts of the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) are picked up from a previous source—a lost gospel, which is popularly called Q (from the German word Quelle which means source).The Q-hypothesis rests on very solid grounds and most scholars accept it. This book tells us all about it. It also discusses some unresolved questions (such as: Was Q written in Aramaic or Greek?).
The reconstruction of Q, the lost gospel, is a challenging and formidable task. Using various critical literary methods, leading scholars have undertaken the work, and the reconstruction work of the German scholar Athanasius Polag is a major achievement. The author has enhanced and clarified his book by translating Polag’s reconstruction of Q.
