| | | | | Seine: Encyclopedia II - Paul Celan - Celan's Poetry In additional to writing poetry (in German and earlier, in Romanian), he was an extremely active translator and polyglot, translating literature from Romanian, French, Portuguese, Russian, and English into German.
The experience of the Shoah and his parents' deaths are defining forces in Celan's poetry and his use of language. In his Bremen Prize speech, Celan said of language after Auschwitz that:
It, the language, remained, not lost, yes, in spite of everything. But it had to pass through its own answerlessness, pass throu ...

| | | | | Seine: Encyclopedia II - France - Economy France's economy combines extensive private enterprise (nearly 2.5 million companies registered) with substantial (though declining) government intervention (see dirigisme). The government retains considerable influence over key segments of infrastructure sectors, with majority ownership of railway, electricity, aircraft, and telecommunication firms. It has been gradually relaxing its control over these sectors since the early 1990s. The government is slowly selling off holdings in France Télécom, Air France, as well as the insurance ...

| | | | | Seine: Encyclopedia II - Falaise pocket - Inside the pocket Under the combined pressure of the Americans and French to the south, the British to the west, and the Canadians and Poles to the north, by August 10 the Germans were aware of the danger, although Hitler was demanding an immediate counter-attack on Avranches rather than a deliberate withdrawal. On August 15, Hitler replaced Field Marshall von Kluge with Model. The following day, with the remaining 150,000 troops of the German Seventh Army and Fifth Panzer Army almost encircled, Hitler finally ordered a general withdrawal of troops towards th ...

Although under air attack by day, the German forces were still able to cause serious damage, as they did on August 10 when the Canadians lost 40 men at "Hill 111" near Estrées-la-Campagne. They also put up fierce resistance against the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division in the woods north of Falaise on August 16. ...

On August 12 it entered Alençon, then moved on to Ecouché and finally Argentan on August 14, 22 km south of Falaise, where they were ordered to halt by Bradley (a decision supported by Eisenhower) for fear of running into the Canadians to the north—the rapid changes in troop locations were causing confusion in the Allied communication lines. The halt in the northward advan ...

| | | | | Seine: Encyclopedia II - Paul Celan - Exodus As Romanian autonomy became increasingly tenuous in the course of that year, Paul fled Romania for Vienna, Austria. It was there that he befriended Ingeborg Bachmann, who had just completed a dissertation on Martin Heidegger. Facing a city divided between occupying powers and with little resemblance to the mythic city it once was, when it had harboured an Austro-Hungarian Jewish community shattered by then, he moved to Paris in 1948, where he found a publisher for his first poetry collection, Der Sand aus den Urnen ("Sand from the Urn ...

| | | | | Seine: Encyclopedia II - Paul Celan - Celan`s Postwar Life Considering emigration to Palestine and wary of Soviet tolerance and encouragement of Antisemitism, Celan left Soviet-occupied territory in 1945 for Bucharest, where he remained until 1947. He was active in the Jewish literary community as both a translator of Russian literature into Romanian, and as a poet, publishing his work under a variety of pseudonyms. The literary scene of the time was richly populated with surrealists, and it was in this period that Celan developed pseudonyms both for himself and his ...

France - Marianne.
Marianne is a symbol of the French Republic. She is an allegorical figure of liberty and the Republic and first appeared at the time of the French Revolution. The earliest representations of Marianne are of a woman wearing a Phrygian cap. The origins of the name Marianne are unknown, but Marie-Anne was a very common first name in the 18th century. Anti-revolutionaries of the time derisively called her La République.
It is believed that revolutionaries from the South of France adopted th ...

| | | | | Seine: Encyclopedia II - Castle - Purpose of Castles Castles were built not only as a defensive measure, and offensive weapon, but also as a home. Castles were made by their owners for specific purposes, or evolved into new purposes over time:
First and foremost castles were places of protection from an invading enemy, a place of retreat. This can be seen by many of the typical features of European castles - e.g. portcullises, battlements and drawbridges.
Secondly castles were offensive weapons, built in otherwise hostile territories from which to control surrounding land ...

France - Origin of the country's name.
The name France comes from Medieval Latin Francia, which literally means "land of the Franks, Frankland". Originally it applied to the whole Frankish Empire, extending from southern France to eastern Germany. At the Treaty of Verdun in 843, the Frankish Empire was divided in three parts, and eventually only two: Francia Occidentalis (i.e. "Western Frankland") and Francia Orientalis (i.e. "Eastern Frankland"). The rulers of Francia Orientalis, who ...

| | | | | | Seine: Encyclopedia II - Paul Celan - Celan's Life During World War II On arrival in July 1941 the German SS Einsatzkommando and their Romanian allies burned down the city's six-hundred-year-old Great Synagogue. In October, the Romanians deported a large number of Jews after forcing them into a ghetto, where Celan translated William Shakespeare's sonnets and continued to write his own poetry, all the while being exposed to traditional Yiddish songs and culture. Before the ghetto was dissolved in the fall of that year, Celan was pressed into labor, first clearing the debris of a demolishe ...

| | | | | Seine: Encyclopedia II - Paul Celan - Early life Celan was born in 1920 into a German-speaking Jewish family in Bukovina, then part of Romania. His father, Leo Antschel, was a Zionist who advocated his son's education in Hebrew at Safah Ivriah, an institution previously convinced of the wisdom of assimilation into Austrian culture, and one which favourably received Chaim Weizmann of the World Zionist Organization in 1927. His mother, Fritzi, was an avid reader of German literature who insisted German be the language of the house. After his Bar Mitzvah in 1933, Celan ab ...
