3 comments about Hedonist's Guide To Berlin 1st Edition (A Hedonist's Guide to...).

1. You can judge this book by it's cover - elegant, slick and an air of exclusivity about it. That is exactly what you should expect from this brilliant guide. It makes for pithy reading, allowing a very directed approach to pursuing the pleasures of your choice during a short visit. Having experience this guide first hand I doubt I will now visit a city which does not have one.



2. I was expecting a wild hedonist's guidebook to the varied wicked delights of this wonderful city. Instead, I got a punchlist of pricey places that were by and large already covered in the Time Out and Lonley Planet guides to Berlin. Save your money and get those instead, and hit various online guides to Berlin to find the really fun spots instead.



3. Very snazzy good-looking guide book, exceedingly reliable on how to hit the right spots. Essential packing for hip travellers!

3 comments about Wilhelm Marr: The Patriarch of Anti-Semitism (Studies in Jewish History).

1. This book is the biography of the German revolutionary Wilhelm Marr. Marr was a radical revolutionary left wing intellectual who based his philosophy on that of the Left Hegelian Ludwig Feuerbach, advocating atheism and maintaining an anti-Christian and antiSemitic belief system. He became known as a journalist and editor of the paper _Mephistopheles_ during the nineteenth century. He became known for his antiSemitism (and may have originated the term "antiSemitism") despite the fact that he was to have a series of Jewish wives after writing a book entitled _The Jewish Mirror_ (_Der Judenspiegel_). He also involved himself in business deals in America where he may have participated in the slave trade and the ensuing debate over slavery. After having met the Italian liberal nationalist intellectual and founder of the "Young Europe" movement, Giuseppe Mazzini, Marr became enamored of this individual and earned for himself the title of "The German Mazzini". Subsequently, Marr would write another infamous antiSemitic text, _The Victory of Judaism Over Germanism_. During this period, Marr's political alignments began to shift so that he became favored in certain reactionary circles. Marr also became involved with the Anti-Semitic League at this time. Later in his life after having several failed business dealings, Marr would come to criticize antiSemitism. He argued that antiSemites were fostering an environment harmful to the poor worker in the same manner that the Jews themselves were. At this point, Marr renounced his antiSemitism as well as his previous reactionary leanings and returned to his original revolutionary beliefs. Marr died in relative obscurity, penniless. However, he had made a name for himself as the instigator of antiSemitism and perhaps as the man who coined that very term. Marr generally comes across as a rather despicable individual despite the fact that he would later come to at least partially repent of some of his antiSemitic beliefs (though never of his atheism and anti-Christian beliefs). He played some role as a prophet who foretold the coming of the Third Reich and the horrendous evils of the twentieth century, although he would be rejected by the actual intellectuals of the Third Reich, as would the term he coined - antiSemitism. Marr's place is among the antiSemitic left wing revolutionary intellectuals such as the musician Richard Wagner in Germany in the century before the coming of the World Wars. This book provides a good biography of an obscure figure who played some role in predicting the coming events in the German nation in the twentieth century. It is to be recommended despite the fact that its central figure is certainly less than savory.



2. I was researching this guy on the internet and found out the prototypical anti-semite was, in fact, the son of the famous jewish actor Heinrich Marr. Perhaps this explains why he always married jewish women. Will add more after I read this one.
   
   Edit: After further research, it appears I was mistaken about that. Too bad as I enjoy the irony like that - such as when Republican 'family values' politicians get arrested for sexual peccadilloes.



3. This book is an excellent study on Wilhelm Marr. The book is especially valuable because it is based on a variety of primar sources. It is based on the huge collection of manuscripts and literary remains of Marr, stored in the Archives of Hamburg.

2 comments about Of German Ways.

1. I bought this book after a trip to Germany when I wanted to find out more about it. Although outdated, it was written before the 1972 Munich Olympics, it provides a wealth of information on German traditions, customs, and as the title suggests, "German Ways." The chapters are divided into areas such as education, sports, food, drink, etc. The author grew up in a German-American community. The author also spends a good deal of time covering the German influence in the USA. For example, I learned that during the World War sauerkraut suddenly became referred to as "liberty cabbage." The only reason I did not give this book five stars was due to its being outdated. A updated version of this book would be excellent, if the author is out there.
