Book Description
A full-scale examination of every aspect of life in Belgium, Belgium Stripped Bare is an aesthetico-diagnostic litany of often vitriolic observations whose victory is found in the act of analysis itself, in the intoxication of diagnosis. Baudelaire's plethora of notes and vast collection of related newspaper clippings are summarized within.

Book Description
This book inaugurates a new phase in kitsch studies. Kitsch, an aesthetic slur of the 19th and the 20th century, is increasingly considered a positive term and at the heart of today’s society. Eleven distinguished authors from philosophy, cultural studies and the arts discuss a wide range of topics including beauty, fashion, kitsch in the context of mourning, bio-art, visual arts, architecture and political kitsch. In addition, the editors provide a concise theoretical introduction to the volume and the subject. The role of kitsch in contemporary culture and society is innovatively explored and the volume aims not to condemn but to accept and understand why kitsch has become acceptable today.

Book Description
The first English collection of the late poetry and prose fragments of literary icon Charles Baudelaire "[A] handsome new book . . . all this inchoate material is given context by Sieburth's learned, elegantly written commentary. He is the perfect guide."--Michael Dirda, Washington Post "[These] unfinished works written after 1861 . . . deliver what their titles seem to promise: a soul stripped of guises and illusions."--Ange Mlinko, New York Review of Books While not as well known as his other works, Charles Baudelaire's late poems, drafts of poems, and prose fragments are texts indispensable to the history of modern poetics. This volume brings together Baudelaire's late fragmentary writings, aphoristic in form and radical in thought, into one edited collection for the first time. Substantial introductions to each work by Richard Sieburth combine the literary context with formal analysis and reception history to give readers a comprehensive picture of the genesis of these works and their subsequent fate. Baudelaire's turn toward fragmentary writing involved not only a conscious renunciation of his aesthetics of perfection and unity, but a desertion of the harmonies of the traditional lyric in favor of the disjunctions of prose. These are daring works, often painful to read in their misanthropy and unconventional beauty.

Arnold Toynbee's 'The German Terror in Belgium: An Historical Record' meticulously documents the atrocities committed by German forces during their occupation of Belgium in World War I. Toynbee's writing style is precise and analytical, providing a detailed account of the events that transpired, making this book an invaluable historical resource. His approach to the subject matter is both objective and critical, shedding light on the harsh realities faced by the Belgian population. As a renowned historian and scholar, Arnold Toynbee was deeply committed to uncovering the truth behind historical events. His extensive research and dedication to accuracy are evident in 'The German Terror in Belgium', as he presents a comprehensive examination of the devastation caused by the German occupation. Toynbee's background in history and his passion for seeking justice for the victims of war motivated him to write this important work.
