Simplicissimus, which has more than once been called the greatest of all German novels, has a terrible relevance in the America of today, writes Eric Bentley in his preface to this edition. "For the Thirty Years' War, which is its subject, was not just any war. It was a war which inflicted death not on individuals only but on cities, on populations, and it was a war in which life went on, between battles, in the seventeenth-century equivalent of deep shelters protected from the neighbors by machine guns: a war which, even more than other wars, brought out the worst in human nature. And around it, as today, in supreme irony: the highest of high ideals.""There is great literature of war, and very much of it speaks poignantly today. The Simplicissimus may well be the most poignant book in all this literature because its war, alas, is our war, our kind of war. . . . At moments, the Simplicissimus may be too painful to read, and its relevance too much to bear thinking of, but it is a classic function of literature to make the unbearable bearable, the painful--and not perversely—pleasurable. There is a transcendence here, and in the case of the Simplicissimus, not just an aesthetic one. We shall not end the horrors of war by refusing to let the mind dwell on them."

'Simplicius Simplicissimus' – the towering achievement of H.J.C. von Grimmelshausen, one of the earliest novelists in the German language – charts the adventures of its hero, Simplicius, through the horrors of battle, murder, fire and famine, offering an invaluable eyewitness account of the Thirty Years War and showing how humanity can, in the end, triumph over brutality. A work of great poetical beauty and satirical strength, and a lasting historical document of timeless value, 'Simplicius Simplicissimus' is presented here in the only edition available in the English language, based on the original text of 1669.

Written against a background of the Thirty Years' War and firstpublished in 1669, this renowned picaresque classic recounts withwonderful biting satire the vagabond adventures of a not-so-simplesimpleton during one of Europe's fiercest, yet ultimately most futilewars. Simplicius is an earthy character; he humiliates the mighty,confounds the gods, ridicules the pretentious. The translationuses the authoritative first edition for its text, and though it hasbeen slightly abbreviated, no essential passages have been sacrificed.This unexpurgated translation reflects the linguistic turmoil andrichness of German in the 17th century; it is ideal as the centrepiecefor courses in German literature in translation and courses in theEuropean Baroque.

The reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II was a transitional period in German history when the traditions of the nineteenth century were coming into conflict with the emerging cultural, social, and political patterns of the twentieth century. The resulting tensions were clearly reflected in the period's leading satirical journals, Kladderadatsch and Simplicissimus.Both journals appealed to a diverse middle-class readership and attracted widespread attention through their flamboyant and sometimes scurrilous attacks on authority. Their satire, expressed through cartoons, anecdotes, verse, and fiction, ranged across nearly every aspect of German life and employed the talents of some of the period's most important writers and artists. That their purpose was essentially serious was shown by the frequent seizures of offending issues and the jail sentences meted out to satirists whose jabs struck too near home.Kladderadatsch, founded in Berlin in 1848, was liberal politically but generally mild in its social satire. It remained for Simplicissimus, founded in Munich in 1896, to launch a more radical critique of bourgeois culture. The primary target of both journals was the absurdities of an essentially weak monarchy personified in a Kaiser who seemed always to be "on stage." Simplicissimus, in addition, delighted in ridiculing a military establishment dominated by class, a repressive educational system, and a hypocritical religious hierarchy. Even the family came in for satirical treatment.Through the history of these two periodicals, Ann Taylor Allen demonstrates the uses of humor in a society that offered few effective outlets for dissent. She also provides important new insights into the role of popular journalism in this critical period.

Karl Amadeus Hartmann's opera, based upon Grimmelshausen's picaresque novel of the thirty years' war, has not been seen on stage or heard in concert in the UK. Yet it's one of the most important German operas of the 20th century; it was composed during the mid-30s, but couldn't be performed under the Nazis because of the unmistakable parallels it draws with the situation in Europe. (It was staged for the first time only in 1949.) Markus Stenz's fine performance - with an oustanding Juliane Banse

Neuware -München zählt zu den frühesten und bedeutendsten Zentren des Jugendstils in Deutschland. Nach Gründung der ersten deutschen Secession (1892) erschienen hier ab 1896 die Zeitschriften Simplicissimus und Jugend. Letztere gab der neuen Kunst auch ihren deutschen Namen. Viele Künstlerinnen und Künstler suchten nach zeitgemäßen Ausdrucksformen und verfolgten ganzheitliche Ansätze. Neben den klassischen Gattungen der Hochkunst reichte das Spektrum ihres Schaffens auch in andere Gebiete; Objekte für unterschiedliche Gesellschaftsschichten und möglichst alle Lebensbereiche wurden gestaltet. Im Gegensatz zum französischen Jugendstil mit seiner floralen Ornament-Fülle ist der Münchner flächiger und klarer. Er führte zur Abstraktion und Sachlichkeit und schuf damit die Grundlagen für die Kunst und das Design der Moderne. Blick ins Buch Die ganze künstlerische Vielfalt des Münchner Jugendstils! Mit Werken von Peter Behrens, Sophie Burger-Hartmann, Otto Eckmann, August Endell, Elisabeth Erber, Hermann Obrist, Bruno Paul, Richard Riemerschmid, Gertraud von Schnellenbühel, uvm. Viele Highlights der international renommierten Jugendstil-Sammlung des Müncher Stadtmuseums zu Gast in der Kunsthalle München Ausstellung: 25. Oktober 2024 - 23.

Courage is one of most indomitable women in European literature and a feminist icon for our times.The Life of Courage (first published in 1670), one episode from whose life Brecht used as the basis for his Mother Courage, is the female counterpart to Simplicissimus. A young girl caught up in the turmoil of the Thirty Years War, she survives, even prospers, by the use of her native cunning and sexual attraction. Completely amoral, she flits from man to man, having a succession of husbands and lovers, and ends her life with a band of gypsies.Courage supposedly tells her story to get her own back on Simplicissimus, who treats her rather dismissively in his memoirs. Her method is to reveal the truth about herself, including the fact that she was recovering from the pox at the time of their affair, so that he will be tarred with the same brush. The result is a lively account of lechery, knavery and trickery told with disarming frankness and a complete lack of remorse.It will appeal to anyone who likes a rollicking good yarn and a bit of knavery in their reading.

Neuware - In der publizierten Biografie des Simplicissimus-Verlegers Albert Langen klaffte bislang eine Lücke: seine Liebe zur Norwegerin Josephine Rensch. Für sie, Angestellte im Pariser Haushalt der Langens, trennte er sich von seiner Ehefrau Dagny Bjørnson und sie begleitete ihn über mehrere Jahre bis zu seinem frühen Tod. Der kürzlich in Norwegen aufgefundene Nachlass von Josephine Rensch enthüllt Aspekte ihres Lebens mit Albert Langen im gemeinsamen Haus in München-Schwabing, erzählt von den Reisen des Paares und dokumentiert dessen gesellschaftlichen Umgang. Mehr als 200 Bilder, Briefe und Dokumente decken nicht nur eine bisher unbekannte Beziehung auf, sondern geben zugleich neue Einblicke in das Leben Albert Langens. In einer nahezu detektivischen Arbeit hat Detlef Seydel den Nachlass von Josephine Rensch aufbereitet, unterstützt von Nachkommen der beiden Protagonisten. Das Ergebnis ist in dieser beeindruckenden Dokumentation einer großen, leidenschaftlichen Liebe niedergelegt.
