Was bedeutet es, wenn die grossen liberalen Ideen zwischen Staat und Freiheit, Gesellschaft und Gemeinschaft auf dem harten politischen Alltag aufschlagen? Der freisinnige Baschi Dürr, langjähriger Basler Justiz- und Sicherheitsdirektor, geht dem nach – von der Fasnacht bis zur Wohnpolitik, von Banknoten bis zur Mondladung, von James Bond bis zum Gefängnisbau. Liegt der realpolitische Hund bei den Politikern oder den Beamten begraben? Wie haben Klimawandel und Corona-Pandemie den Diskurs verändert? Welche Minderheiten sind bedroht, was erklärt das Naturgesetz der ungehemmt wachsenden Verwaltung – und scheitert die Freiheit immer nur an den Linken oder doch auch wegen der Bürgerlichen? Baschi Dürr bringt mit kurzen Texten und prägnanten Gedanken, gesammelt über die letzten Jahre, die Praxis der Freiheit auf den Punkt.

Baschi Dürr, Jahrgang 1977, studierte an der Universität Basel Volks- und Betriebswirtschaft (1999 lic. rer. pol.). Er arbeitete im Journalismus und in der Kommunikation, unter anderem bei der Neuen Zürcher Zeitung, Wirz Investor Relations, F. Hoffmann-La Roche und Farner Consulting. Als Mitglied der Liberaldemokraten und später der FDP gehörte er ab 2003 dem Grossen Rat des Kantons Basel-Stadt an und wurde 2012 als jüngstes Mitglied seit fast 100 Jahren in den Basler Regierungsrat gewählt. Dort stand er während acht Jahren dem Justiz- und Sicherheitsdepartement vor. Baschi Dürr arbeitet heute als CEO eines Immobilienunternehmens und nimmt verschiedene Verwaltungsrats- und weitere Mandate wahr. Er hat drei Kinder und lebt im Kleinbasler Wettsteinquartier.

Stuff They Don't Teach You In Church
Format: Paperback
Fawn Brodie did her research and cites primarily sources from LDS sources such as journals from people who knew Joseph Smith and from Joseph Smith himself. I trust that the information is reliable. I learned more about Joseph Smith than I was ever taught in Sunday School or LDS seminary. Fawn Brodie does speculate in some areas, such as Joseph's motives but she supports her assumptions with evidence, again, from primary sources. It was a quick read for me. I did have to get out a dictionary at some places, which is rare for me. Brodie paints a picture of the Joseph Smith that very few people knew. I enjoyed reading this book. I recommend it for LDS church members who want to know the history of one of enigmatic people in history, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The book points out not just the negative aspects of Joseph's life but Brodie balances it with the positive. Unlike Charles Manson, Jim Jones, or David Koresh, Joseph Smith truly cared about his followers and treated people well. I don't like how he seduced women, however and that detracts from his character. I do think he was a con man, however.

A very accessible classic
Format: Paperback
I chose this translation on the recommendation of a good friend who is also a professor of English. I wanted something that was true to the spirit of the work and not necessarily tied to the exact meter and rhyme of the original just for the sake of maintaining both. I was not disappointed. What struck me most was the imagery of the translation. As I read, I could see the scenes and felt that I was there, experiencing the plot. This tale has many of the elements of the current popular "superhero" genre of movies. Properly done, it would make an excellent film. Read it and enjoy!

Luminous Translation
This translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is rich in color, full of action, written with respect for the original poetry (in a Northern dialect of Middle English that partakes heavily of Old English and Old Norse influences). The richness of the story, the surroundings (both natural and courtly), and the vivid descriptions of hunting and fighting, make this very important knightly adventure jump off the page.

Laudable Work, with One Reservation
Format: Paperback
I appreciate Mr. Winny's time and efforts to produce a "bilingual" edition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. No stranger to the pitfalls of poetic translation, I prefer to have the original side-by-side with the modern English language rendering, as you get with this book. That way, I can quiet the academic growl in my head that remains skeptical of the inevitable poetic license the translator--by necessity--must take to adapt ancient words into modern parlance. My only complaint is that since the poem in its original is half the appeal of what this book promises, why modernize the letters? The Gawain poet's Middle English is already much more obscure to the modern reader than Chaucer's. Why not retain the yogh, the thorn, etc.? The target audience is already willing to climb the mountain, so why lop off the peak?

One of my favs
Format: Paperback
Gawain and the Green Knight is one of my favorite Arthurian Legends. This version has Middle English and Modern English translations side-by-side, which is loads of fun to follow. Let's just say this copy is well read.
