hardcover. Condition: Collectible-Very Good. DETAILS: very good light blue cloth, faded by light along spine and edges of covers. INSCRIBED on front endpaper Best Wishes / SIGNED Thomas C. "Tommy" Mann Dec. 1962 - but oddly with the stray word "From" beneath this. MANN, THOMAS C., 1890-1972 / GREENE, JANET C. Over their dead bodies: Yankee epitaphs & history. Thomas C. Mann and Janet Greene; illustrated by George Daly. Brattleboro, Vermont: Stephen Greene Press, 1962, xii, 103pp., . When you get right down to it: where's the best place to tell your story or state what you stood for? Average old-time New Englanders and a number of modern ones believed that the logical place to say their say was on their gravestones. Their often stunning frankness has produced three centuries of highly personal comments on religion, politics, death, wars, love, marriage and social change, carved on markers in thousands of cemeteries throughout the region. Over their dead bodies is the first collection of its kind to explore this trove chronologically and to present epitaphs within the framework of their times. The result is a fresh approach to Americana whereby these crackling "last words" of everyday people gain in significance without losing their appeal. A general forward sets the mood of the book and cites the changing fashions in inscriptions from hell-fire admonitions ("-they may have lived in fear of their Lord but they did not, in the language of space-age anxiety, run scared") to today's stress on nice-mindedness and reserve ("-the age of monuments"). - CONTENTS: cknowledgments -- Foreword -- Through 1775: Pioneer And Colonial Life: -- Introduction -- Epitaphs 1 to 41 -- 1776 to 1815: War, Reason And Revivalism: -- Introduction -- Epitaphs 42 to 106 -- 1816 to 1870: The Age Of Ferment: -- Introduction -- Epitaphs 107 to 169 -- 1871 to the Present: The Big New World: -- Introduction -- Epitaphs 170 to 215 -- Index.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Autorensignatur; Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Farbtonanderung. Weihnachten nicht nur bei Buddenbrooks * Die Dimensionen des Festes im Werk des grossen Dichters * Die Feier des Festes in der Familie Mann * Lesegenuss zum Weihnachtsfest 'Ich werde die Liebe zu den Zaubern des Weihnachtsfestes nie verlernen. Dieser Tag, dieser heiter geheiligte Abend, der aus Kinderaugen blickt, der die Kruste des Alltags von unserem Herzen lost und ein Lacheln menschlicher Ruhrung und Freude auf allen Gesichtern hervorruft, er ergreift mich heute, wie er mich als Knabe ergriff und begluckte.' (Thomas Mann) Wer kennt nicht die entlarvenden Darstellungen des Weihnachts-Rituals bei Thomas Mann? Trotz aller milieukritischen Durchleuchtung bringt er das Fest dennoch erst zum Leuchten. Der Ironie folgt im literarischen Werk zunehmend eine vertiefte Sicht. Das Weihnachtsfest wird zum Ausdruck universaler Menschheitshoffnung und gewinnt mit seinem humanen Geist ethisch und politisch orientierende Kraft. Die ungebrochene Inszenierung im Haus der Familie Mann lasst sichtbar werden, was das Fest nach wie vor bedeuten kann: Zusammenhalt, Hoffnung, liebevolle Gemeinschaft.
