In seven fragments, Judith Wermuth-Atkinson looks at the stories of old people from different societies and cultures of our time – from England to New England, Germany, India, and post-World War II Bulgaria. This is an appeal for attention to our attitudes toward the elderly. The author stresses that although "old age seems to be an inconvenience for many families, for society, and most certainly for the economics of any state" we should remember that "the old people of our time are also the creators of this time" and that "what the present represents for us was their project, their work - not just ours.

Blue Poppies

A Spiritual Travelogue from the Himalaya

By: Judith Wermuth-Atkinson

In Blue Poppies, the author shares her experience of spiritual life in the Indian Himalaya. For years, Judith Wermuth-Atkinson had the unique opportunity to study, live, and travel with the Hindu monk and Vedic scholar Siddhartha Krishna. She offers vivid descriptions of men, women, and children in the life of rarely accessible spiritual communities, deliberations on religious devotion or on questions of the clash between tradition and change, and observations of social attitudes toward marriage, caste, and the untouchableall providing insights into a complex world both ancient and modern. That world has taught the author to believe in the endless power of the mind, and she sees it as a precious source of mindfulnessa source that ought to be preserved.

The Red Jester

Andrei Bely's Petersburg as a Novel of the European Modern

By: Judith Wermuth

What was Andrei Bely's aim in his ambiguous novel Petersburg? For the first time, this study firmly places Bely's work at the heart of the European Modern (die Moderne). The book argues that the novel - with its concern for the spiritual and its desire to create new aesthetics - helped reshape fundamental views of reality, of the Self, and of consciousness. Theories of Freud and Jung, as well as the aesthetics of the Viennese Secession, are used to elucidate Bely's approach to the narrative. The book also presents Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy as the prism through which Bely reflects modernist ideas. (Series: Slavistik - Vol. 1)

Possessions

By: Judith RICHARDSON

The cultural landscape of the Hudson River Valley is crowded with ghosts--the ghosts of Native Americans and Dutch colonists, of Revolutionary War soldiers and spies, of presidents, slaves, priests, and laborers. Possessions asks why this region just outside New York City became the locus for so many ghostly tales, and shows how these hauntings came to operate as a peculiar type of social memory whereby things lost, forgotten, or marginalized returned to claim possession of imaginations and territories. Reading Washington Irving's stories along with a diverse array of narratives from local folklore and regional writings, Judith Richardson explores the causes and consequences of Hudson Valley hauntings to reveal how ghosts both evolve from specific historical contexts and are conjured to serve the present needs of those they haunt. These tales of haunting, Richardson argues, are no mere echoes of the past but function in an ongoing, contentious politics of place. Through its tight geographical focus, Possessions illuminates problems of belonging and possessing that haunt the nation as a whole. Table of Contents: Introduction 1. "How Comes theHudson to this Unique Heritage?" 2. Irving's Web 3. The Colorful Career of a Ghost from Leeds 4. Local Characters 5. Possessing High Tor Mountain Epilogue: Hauntings without End Notes Index Reviews of this book: The author traces changing versions of several ghostly tales that mutated over time to reflect local conditions and controversies as well as national political issues like abolitionism. Richardson shows that, thanks to the Hudson Valley's long history of settlement, the 'legendizing impetus' created by Washington Irving, and the area's established position as a tourist destination, it inspired at least three sometimes overlapping traditions of hauntings: the 'aboriginal' Dutch and Indian hauntings, the Revolutionary War hauntings, and industrial hauntings, which are traced in Maxwell Anderson's High Tor (1937) and T. Coraghessan Boyle's World's End (1987). --J. J. Benardete, Choice Possessions is a rare and brilliant book that seamlessly combines history and literature--revealing how richly they can support one another. It is a great pleasure to read: both fluent and profound. --Alan Taylor, author of American Colonies and William Cooper's Town This is a lively, well-written, and engaging interdisciplinary study. Richardson pursues two main goals: probing in considerable detail a body of early national folklore and its modern revivals and testing some more general notions about the uses to which such lore is put in the periods when it is recovered, reshaped, and reinvigorated. It is smart without being condescending, locally inflected without exhibiting the least bit of piety - and, I think, quite suggestive for scholars looking at other domains far beyond the Hudson Valley. She gives us a way of understanding how the "local" has figured in the cultural construction of Americanness. --Wayne Franklin, author of Discoverers, Explorers, Settlers and The New World of James Fenimore Cooper

When Someday Is Today

Hologram Of An Immigrant's Journey

By: Judith Wermuth-Atkinson

This is a deeply moving personal testimony of a woman with a mixed ethnic and religious background, who grew up as an outcast dissident thinker under an authoritarian regime and took the risk of a dangerous illegal escape, together with her little son. After confronting rejection by a conservative Israeli society and xenophobia in reunified Germany, the author settled in the U.S. and has been exploring questions of identity in the experience of immigrants and contemplating the continuous struggles of people striving for a better life and the refugee and migrant crises in the world. Dr. Judith Wermuth-Atkinson is an author, a literary scholar, and a translator living in New York, USA.
