Was ist eigentlich ein Buuml;cherwurm? Gibt es ihn wirklich? Und wie sieht er aus? Hektor Haarkouml;tter entdeckt Buuml;cherwuuml;rmer ganz unterschiedlicher Art; tierische und menschliche. Denn auch der Buuml;cherfreund entpuppt sich oft als Buuml;cherwurm; der gierig und gefrauml;szlig;ig alles Gedruckte verschlingt. Und so fuuml;hrt die Suche; die in der Zoologie beginnt; auch bald in die Kulturgeschichte zu den zahllosen Bibliomanen in Kunst und Literatur. Schlieszlig;lich stellt sich die Frage nach der Zukunft; denn im Medienzeitalter residieren die legitimen Erben des guten alten Buuml;cherwurms lauml;ngst in Fernsehern und Computern. Im Vorwort zur erweiterten Neuauflage spuuml;rt Hektor Haarkouml;tter den neusten Spuren der Buuml;cherwuuml;rmer im Tier- und Menschenreich nach und schildert; wie man als Autor und Medienwissenschaftler auf die Idee kommt; das Wesen der Buuml;cherwuuml;rmer zu erforschen. In bibliophiler Ausstattung mit schouml;nen Illustrationen!

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A must for enthusiasts and an excellent starting point for those wishing to deepen their understandingBy Richard BVirginia Coxs "Short History of the Italian Renaissance" is a very pleasurable read. not only for those with little knowledge of the literature. art. culture of the Italian Renaissance but also for seasoned veterans and well-versed enthusiasts. Presenting a "short" history on such a monumental period is no easy task. nonetheless. the author effectively presents the usual cast of characters (Michelangelo. Leonardo. Raffaello. etc.) along with a series of lesser known actors who help us gain a more complete and profound picture of the period. Concerning those figures who are often only glossed over in similar works. the notable contributions and status of the women of the day receive ample treatment. The book is very readable. offering a well-conceived and deeply informed narrative of the events. themes. and individuals that continue to whet our appetite for the Italian Renaissance. Brava. dottoressa Cox!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great informationBy Sarah M.I have to disclose that I received this book for free through Goodreads giveaways and was asked to review it. I am not quite finished with it yet. but I am learning so much. Its a great resource or a fun read for someone that wants to learn more about the Renaissance and factors that contributed to the start of this movement. The maps are very helpful. This book is not written like a textbook at all. which I do like. My one negative about the book is that the authors writing is a little bit elaborate for a nonfiction book. I want to spend my time learning and not deciphering the language. If this book it is truly a short history of the Italian Renaissance I would like to be able to read it quickly. but the authors writing. which may be enjoyable for someone who enjoys literature. slows me down as I have to think about what the author is trying to say.
