Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A Soviet-Jewish family from Riga moves ever further west - through Moscow, Vienna, and Italy, all the way to America - and its youngest member, in the end, all the way into space. The tragicomic chronicle of con men, dreamers, and lovable losers, told by an astronaut gazing down from orbit at the Earth and at where he comes from. Riga, mid-1970s. Ten-year-old Misha Myshkin grows up in a chaotic, loving extended family of Soviet atheists who decide to emigrate - set in motion by Misha's father Vadim, an eternal runner-up and incorrigible dreamer who has never gotten over the Moon landing. To obtain an exit visa, the family becomes "Jewish" overnight by way of a double wedding on the beach. After an adventurous interlude in Moscow, the road leads to Vienna, where the family washes up in the run-down Pension Esterhazy - and where the secret of ancient great-grandmother Nina is revealed: the surly, one-eyed old woman who spent her whole life insisting she was not Jewish is the family's only real Jew, a survivor of Rumbula and the camps, silently carrying all of murdered Jewish Riga within her. Nina dies in Vienna; from then on, her ashes travel with the family in an urn. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Eisfeld, Alexander (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Wann immer ich in den letzten fünf Jahren die Gelegenheit hatte darüber zu sprechen, was genau ich da eigentlich studiere und wie genau das dann vor sich geht, bemühte ich meine immaginären 'drei Säulen': Theorie (Vorlesungen und Seminare der Kunstgeschichts- sowie Philosophielehrstühle) Praxis (mit den 19 Werkstätten) Kritik (durch Professorinnen, deren Assistentinnen und Studentinnen in Form von jahrgangsübergreifenden Klassenbesprechungen) Bei der Kritik kam ich jedes Mal ins Stocken. Selbst wenn ich erklären konnte, was die Klassenbesprechung ist, so gelang es mir nie, ihr Wesen zu vermitteln - geschweige denn ihren Geist zu transportieren und somit ihren unschätzbaren Wert für diese doch etwas ungewöhnliche Ausbildung.

Alle im Wintersemester 2011/12 von mir transkribierten Klassenbesprechungen finden sich in diesem Büchlein zusammen, um Ihnen, werte Leserin, so einen Einblick zu gestatten in den wundersamen Akt der Künstlerinnenbildung. 72 pp. Deutsch.…
