A comical and poignant memoir of a gay man living life as he pleased in the 1930sIn 1931, gay liberation was not a movement—it was simply unthinkable. But in that year, Quentin Crisp made the courageous decision to "come out" as a homosexual. This exhibitionist with the henna-dyed hair was harassed, ridiculed and beaten. Nevertheless, he claimed his right to be himself—whatever the consequences. The Naked Civil Servant is both a comic masterpiece and a unique testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

George Steiners Essay versucht eine scharfsinnige Diagnose der Misere unseres Zeitalters und dessen sekundärer, parasitärer Kultur, in der die Welt zu Tode geredet zu werden droht und in der sich Beliebigkeit und Relativismus durchsetzen. Ein europäischer Intellektueller von hohem Rang eröffnet Perspektiven einer neuen Kulturtheorie.
