The Child’s View of the Third Reich in German Literature: The Eye among the Blind
Product Description
This book considers how and why German authors have used the child’s viewpoint to present the Third Reich. Authors as diverse as Günter Grass, Siegfried Lenz, and Christa Wolf have all used this perspective, and this raises the question as to why it is such a popular means of confronting the Third Reich. This study asks whether it is an evasive strategy, a means of gaining new insights into the era, or a means of discovering a new language. This raises issues central to the post-war German aesthetic.

Product Description
As children start to learn the differences between night and day, big and small, and old and new, Art Museum Opposites can teach them how to understand these distinctions visually by using paintings, sculptures, and other objects from the famed collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In 15 full-colour spreads, young readers can have fun comparing a bright summer day as painted by Marc Chagall with a moonlit night as depicted by Joan Miro, or contrasting “inside” and “outside” by spot-ting the differences between scenes of monkeys as represented by Antoine Vollon and Henri Rousseau. Written by museum educators Katy Friedland and Marla K. Shoemaker, the authors of the award-winning A is for Art Museum, the images in Art Museum Opposites prompt children to compare the images on each spread and make up stories about what they see. The works of art featured in this book will stimulate children’s imaginations, inspire interactions between adults and kids, and encourage a trip to the museum to see the works first-hand. Recommended for ages 4-8 Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art
