Richard Greene Bücher

Ihre Wiederauferstehung feiern die Untoten nicht erst seit dem »Biss« von Stephenie Meyer. Schon seit Jahrzehnten faszinieren Vampire und Zombies Leser und Filmfans aller Altersgruppen. Richard Greene und K. Silem Mohammad zeigen jetzt, dass einem bei Seelenlosen nicht nur ein kalter Schauer überkommt, sondern auch mal eine frische Brise ins Schädelinnere wehen kann. Etwa dann, wenn wir von der Ethik der Untoten lernen oder Heidegger als das erkennen, was er war: ein Vampirjäger. Ein genauerer Blick in die Welt der Zombies reicht aus, und schon hat man das Leib-Seele-Dilemma verstanden. Lesen Sie dieses Buch und Sie werden sich nie mehr vor der Philosophie gruseln müssen.

"A vivid, deeply researched account of the tumultuous life of one of the twentieth century's greatest novelists, the author of The End of the Affair. Graham Greene lived a life as strange and compelling as those in his brilliant novels. A journalist and MI6 officer, Greene sought out the inner narratives of war and politics across the world; he witnessed the Second World War, the Vietnam War, the Mau Mau Rebellion, the rise of Fidel Castro, and the guerrilla wars of Central America. His classic novels, including The Heart of the Matter and The Quiet American, are only pieces of a career that reads like a primer on the twentieth century itself. With wit, keen understanding, and compassion informed by recently surfaced letters and new memoirs from Graham Greene's contemporaries, Richard Greene creates a nuanced portrait of a complicated man. An Unquiet Englishman delves into the conflicts that defined Greene-marriage, promiscuity, faith, and mental illness-to bring fresh insights to his work. This sensitive, fascinating biography sheds new light on one of the foremost modern writers"-- Provided by publisher
