Text engl. By investigating the multifarious ways love is treated as a theme by four decades of German writers, this book seeks to reveal not only a literary transposition regarding this theme, but a societal transformation as well. The thematic polarity is perhaps best gleaned by observing what love represents in the two works which mark the beginning and conclusion of this study. For Wolfgang Koeppen in Tauben im Gras. love among the ruins is a life saver, something ephemeral, precious as the only source of hope in an extremely inhospitable environment. In contrast, Martin Walrer‘s protagonist in Brandling experiences love as fiction, even mockery, played out as a literary charade in a society whose ruins are invisible because internal and wheie love is scarce, even as it is constantly being touted and marketed.

Historically there has been a wide gulf between European and Anglo-American thought on the philosophy of language, in part because it is often difficult to find important European works in English translation. Meaning and Textuality represents key elements of the ground-breaking new theory on signs and discourse that has come out of Europe in the past few decades. Meaning and Textuality is an investigation into methods useful to the analysis of language and literature. Rastier seeks ways to better understand signs, with emphasis on their relation to action and culture. He proposes a theoretical framework for the semantic description and typology of texts. Towards this end he establishes a critical debate among various streams of research before arriving at a synthesis of literary semiotics, thematics, and linguistic semantics. The author sees this synthesis as a means by which to reconcile the rigour of linguistic analysis with the complexity of literary interpretation. In the later portion of the book he tests his propositions in a series of detailed investigations of French literary texts by Zola, Maupassant, Mallarme, Apollinaire, and Jodelle. Each study examines a new problem such as narrative ambiguity or referential impression. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst aber ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar.

The field of angiography has developed in fitful, sporadic fashion over a period of four decades. The definition of inaccessibility, as applied to blood vessels, has been sharply modified during this period; indeed, on occasion the study of the vascular system in vivo has been characterized by an excess of access. There are now very few blood vessels which have resisted the assault of a probing needle, and therefore few regional vascular beds which have not received at least casual radiologic attention. The burgeoning field of vascular radiology has been nourished by an intense search for new avenues with which to enter and explore the interior of man. Primarily a mirror of normal and abnormal anatomy, angiography has had far too limited an application to basic physiologic study. The dispersion of information on this subject in widely scattered sources accounts at least partially for its failure to become a useful partner of physiology and pharmacology on a larger scale. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst aber ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. A Benchmark. Often reprinted.
