Books about Mein Weg aus dem Dunkel

Describes how to weave life's three major plotlines--love, mastery, and loss--into the most interesting and fulfilling experience possible

Ted Chiangs Talent wurde in der Science-Fiction-Szene schon lange vor der filmischen Umsetzung der Erzählung "Die Geschichte deines Lebens", die unter dem Titel "Arrival" in den Kinos lief, erkannt, doch damit gelang ihm der Durchbruch in der allgemeinen Literatur. Der Sammelband "Die große Stille" enthält neun originelle, provokative und ergreifende Erzählungen. Dabei wirft Ted Chiang einige der ältesten Fragen der Menschheit auf und stellt uns vor neue Dilemmata, wie nur er sie erdenken kann. Die Erzählungen "Die Wahrheit hinter der Tatsache, die Wahrheit hinter dem Gefühl", "Das tiefe Schweigen", "Omphalos" sowie die titelgebende Story erscheinen neben fünf älteren in diesem Band erstmals auf Deutsch. Die beiden Sammlungen "Die große Stille" und "Geteilt durch Null" bilden somit das Gesamtwerk der dreißig Jahre ab, in denen der vielfach preisgekrönte Autor sich bereits dem Schreiben widmet.

What if men built a tower from Earth to Heaven - and broke through to Heaven's other side? What if we discovered that the fundamentals of mathematics were inconsistent? What if there was a science of naming things which calls life into being from inanimate matter? What if exposure to an alien language forever changed our perception of time? What if all the beliefs of fundamentalist Christianity were literally true, and the sight of sinners being swallowed into Hell was a routine event on city streets? These are the kinds of outrageous questions posed by the stories of Ted Chiang. Collected here for the first time are eight of his extraordinary stories - including one specially written for this volume.

Mit der Story "Geschichte deines Lebens" aus diesem Band lieferte der amerikanische Autor Ted Chiang die Vorlage für den oscarnominierten Film "Arrival". Chiang erzählt darin von einer Linguistin, die im Auftrag der Regierung in Kontakt mit außerirdischen Heptapoden tritt und mit weitreichenden Folgen deren Sprache lernt. Acht unvergleichliche Erzählungen, darunter u. a. sein Erstlingswerk "Der Turmbau zu Babel" sowie "Die Hölle ist die Abwesenheit Gottes" und "Geteilt durch Null", entführen basierend auf wissenschaftlich fundiertem Wissen in unterschiedliche Zukünfte und Welten. Sie erzeugen beim Leser ein ebenso nachdenkliches wie inspirierendes Gefühl und ermutigen dazu, immer neue Perspektiven in Bezug auf das vermeintlich Altbekannte einzunehmen. In neuer Zusammenstellung und durch Anmerkungen des Autors zu den einzelnen Erzählungen ergänzt, erscheint dieses Buch als zweiter Band in der Gesamtausgabe von Ted Chiangs Werken von 1990 bis 2020.

And so the time has come for you to tell the story of your life. How will you do it? A straightforward, linear narrative? Perhaps you will adopt an experimental approach. Do you aim to produce something of great artistic merit? Will you tell the story simply, or do you want to convey something complex and beguiling? Will you be scrupulously truthful, or do you intend to embroider the facts and events? Perhaps you want to present a fantasy version of your life rather than the real thing. Perhaps you want others to admire you and respect you, so you will censor all the unsavory and disreputable things you did. You definitely won’t be presenting a “warts and all” account. Or maybe you want people to know exactly who you are, so you will tell it exactly as it is. You will show the world your true self and they can take it or leave it. What kind of audience do you want? Do you seek people of refinement and the highest taste, or are you eager for the masses to crowd in to hear your tale? Are you an elitist or a populist? Do you want to have as

Books about Memoiren

The intriguing story and turbulent history of a paper Charles Dickens praised for its ‘range of information and profundity of knowledge’, and which Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, simply endorsed with the remark: ‘Of course I read The Sporting Life’. It was the Queen Mother’s love of horseracing that made her such an avid reader of the Life and coverage of that sport forms the core of this book, but there is so much more to fascinate the reader including eyewitness accounts of the first fight for the heavyweight championship of the world and Captain Webb’s heroic Channel swim of 1875. Highlights in the history of cricket, football and rugby are also featured, while chapters on coursing and greyhound racing rank alongside surreal reports on ratting contests and songbird singing competitions. And for 30 years Tommy Wisdom made his motoring reports unique by competing against the best at Brooklands, Le Mans and in many Monte Carlo rallies, while Henry Longhurst’s golfing column was simply the best. The paper’s strident campaigns for racing reforms are also chronicled along with its coverage of major news stories, from Fred Archer’s shocking suicide to its own untimely demise. Its travails in the law courts
