Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A Classic of LGBTQ+ Literature - Now in a New Unabridged English TranslationWhen Anna Elisabet Weirauch published the first volume of Der Skorpion in Berlin in 1919 - nine years before Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness - it found an immediate and passionate readership. Censored in 1926 for fear it would corrupt youth and placed on the Nazi Index of Dangerous Literature, it survived anyway: passed hand to hand, translated, reprinted, abridged, and mutilated by pulp publishers.This edition features: A new unabridged English translation from the original GermanBoth Book One (1919) and Book Two (1921) - the full arc Weirauch intended as a single storyA comprehensive introduction by the editorScholarly analyses of both booksChapter-by-chapter historical notesComprehensive bibliography of Anna Elisabet WeirauchThe StoryMette Rudloff grows up motherless in Berlin, raised by a well-meaning but remote father and an overbearing aunt. As a young woman, she drifts through a stifling social world of needlework circles and dull French reading circles until the day a door opens and Olga Rado walks into her life.What follows is one of the great love stories in early twentieth-century literature. Olga is brilliant, cultured, commanding, elusive - a woman who carries a golden cigarette case engraved with a scorpion.She becomes Mette's teacher, her intellectual awakening, and eventually her great love. But their relationship exists in a society that has no tolerance for it, and Mette's family - led by the implacable Aunt Emilie - mobilizes every weapon at its disposal: private detectives, psychiatrists, forced separation, and the relentless pressure of respectability.The Scorpion is not a tragedy, nor is it a story of triumphant liberation. It is something rarer and more honest: the story of a woman learning to live with the full weight of who she is.Perfect for: Readers of classic, vintage, and historical literary fictionFans of lesbian and sapphic fiction (romance)Readers of forbidden love stories and recovered literary historiesAnyone interested in Weimar Berlin and early twentieth-century European social historyAnyone who loved The Price of Salt, Fingersmith, The Well of Loneliness, Tipping the VelvetReaders of Sarah Waters, Radclyffe Hall, Jeanette Winterson, and Emma DonoghueBook clubs exploring underrepresented voices in literary historyCollectors of annotated and scholarly editions of rare textsPart of Ovid Publishing Group's LGBTQ+ LibraryOvid Publishing Group's LGBTQ+ Library brings forgotten and overlooked works of queer literature back into print through new English translations and carefully annotated editions. Specializing in public domain works from the eighteenth through early twentieth centuries, the collection recovers voices that were censored, prosecuted, published anonymously, or simply lost to time - from the only surviving copy of an 1895 lesbian novel found in the Berlin State Library to the landmark works of Weimar Berlin's queer underground. Each edition pairs faithful new translations with scholarly introductions that place these works in their historical and cultural context, ensuring that the pioneers of LGBTQ+ literature finally reach the modern readers they were written for.

The first edition of True Bugs of the World presented a comprehensive review of heteropteran biology, morphology, and classification down to the subfamily level. In the intervening 24 years our knowledge of the Heteroptera has vastly increased. Almost 5000 new bug species have been described during this period, a 1215% increase. Two new families, Curaliidae and Meschiidae, have been described, and the categorical rank of multiple family-group taxa has been revised. The use of cladistic methods through the application of more-user-friendly computer programs and of DNA-sequence data in phylogenetic analysis are now commonplace with a concomitant increase in our understanding of true-bug relationships. The study of fossil Heteroptera has blossomed in a way not seen since the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Finally, a large body of literature now documents various aspects of the natural history of true bugs, ranging from chemical ecology to microbiomes, and establishing certain Heteroptera as model organisms for phenomena including aposematism, sexual conflict, and paternal care. All of these factors argued for an updated volume summarizing our general knowledge of the true bugs. In preparing this second edition, Randall Schuh and Christian Weirauch (the latter a new author for this edition) have maintained an organization approach similar to that of the first edition. The introductory chapters deal with issues from a historical and functional perspective, the major alteration of format involving the coalescence into a single chapter of all material dealing with heteropteran natural history. Following a key to infraorders, they present for the first time an extensive review of fossil Heteroptera. The systematics chapters, which comprise the remainder and preponderance of the work, focus almost exclusively on living Heteroptera. Taxa are grouped by infraorder, superfamily, family, subfamily, and in some cases tribe. Following from the first edition, the authors present diagnoses and information on the history of classification for suprafamilial taxa, all families, and for many subfamilies and tribes, as well as sections on specialized morphology, natural history, and distribution and faunistics. They continue to present information on numbers of described taxa. True Bugs of the World includes figures for general morphology and for details of structure in all family-group taxa, as well as 32 colour plates of habitus images and 2 of living bugs; 3020 papers are cited, a 230% increase over the first edition. The majority of the newly cited papers have been published since 1993 when the literature search for the first edition stopped. This seminal volume will appeal to anyone interested in Heteroptera, including for use as a general reference, specialized textbook, aid to family-group identification, and a gateway to the ever-expanding literature on the group.
