Condition: New. Meanwhile valleys, lakes, and mountain ranges were rushing past him, and he took the fullest possible advantage of every stop along the way; but although his mind and his senses were perpetually captivated by new objects and bodies of knowledge, his heart of hearts remained a shrine wherein the holy flame perpetually burned in wor­ship of the wondrously beautiful knitter of his money purse.In this 1777 novella are related the life and the career of the pastor Johannes Mannheim as pieced together by his adult son from memories and documents after the fatherâs death. Through his Sunday sermons and his social influence, Mannheim institutes a number of agrarian and social reforms among his parishioners, ushering in a period of prosperity for his village and his family. Written and published shortly after Lenz was ordered to leave the Weimar court, here is an ambivalent idyll of the Sturm und Drang period, a work that both celebrates and challenges the idea of Enlightenment agency. This new translation of Lenzâs novella is by Douglas Robertson, who has previously translated works by Thomas Bernhard, Ludwig Tieck, E. T. A. Hoffmann, and Hugo von Hofmannsthal.The German-language writer Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz (Jan. 23, 1751â"1792) was one of eight children born to a Lutheran pastor and a pastorâs daughter. Lenz passed his childhood and adolescence in Sesswegen, Livonia before going to Königsberg, Prussia to study theology, where he attended the lectures of Immanuel Kant. His first substantial work, the verse epic Die Landplagen [The Scourges], was published in 1769. In In 1774 several of Lenzâs plays were anonymously published, including Der Hofmeister [The Tutor] and Der neue Menoza [The New Menoza]. In 1776 Lenz went to Weimar, hoping to find employment at court, but was ordered to leave, probably for writing an offensive pasquinade about the Duchess. In 1777 he stayed for several months with Goetheâs brother-in-law Johann Georg Schlosser, during which time he wrote Der Landprediger [The Country Preacher], serialized later the same year. In the winter of 1777â"78 Lenz suffered a mental health crisis, an account of which was recorded by the village pastor Jean-Frédéric Oberlin, and which was later freely adapted by Georg Büchner as a source for the fictional reconstruction of Lenz's experience during his stay. In the years 1779â"81 Lenz traveled several times between Livonia and Saint Petersburg trying to find employment as a school principal or at the Russian court. In 1781 he went to Moscow, where he found employment in a boarding school for children of the nobility. He later translated Sergei Ivanovich Plescheevâs Survey of the Russian Empire into German and produced a range of essays and other literary works, many of them fragmentary. He died in Moscow of unknown causes at the age of forty-one.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Artificial mountains are a worldwide reality. Their presence influenced the history of urbanism, architecture, and landscape architecture. Burial sites use, very frequently, the intimidating shape of the man-made mountain. Incense burners in ancient China evoked the Five Sacred Mountains. Mount Parnassus in Greece became an important element in European garden history and a symbol of the Renaissance. In the Baroque Rome of the 17th century the most important artists worked on the constructions of huge ephemeral mounds in order to express more or less codified messages. The model of the artificial mountain was used as well during the French Revolution: the famous celebration of the Supreme Being took place on a gigantic faux mountain. The history of landscape architecture is characterized by the construction of architectural mounds, often built by using local excavation material. The industrial revolution acted as another source for the rise of an anthropic topography, creating forms, which we do not recognise anymore as totally artificial. Architects have found in the form of mountains a model and a gestalt with which to play in an ironic way. In twentieth-century art, mountains are ubiquitous, culminating in Robert Smithson's masterful exploration of reversed, displaced, and rebuilt mountains. Michael Jakob's study is the first one to address this fascinating worldwide phenomenon stretching from Antiquity to our days.…
