Hmm, yeah that's a bit trickier. Some ideas:

  1. You can find some TedX talks on youtube with both English and German subtitles. Some are auto-generated, but some are done by an actual translator.

  2. Assimil has a French based advanced German course. If you speak French that's the easiest option, but the audio and German text might do you some good on its own if you don't need much help understanding it.

  3. German language podcasts with transcriptions might be available - I haven't looked personally, but it seems like a thing that might exist.

  4. Other materials for German learners. While I haven't used any of them personally, this list looks like it might have some good options for you: https://www.fluentu.com/blog/german/intermediate-german-podcast/ . There are also German short story books with accompanying audio:

  1. Keeping with your TV idea might be the most entertaining option. If you're at the level where you can understand a fair bit of material meant for native speakers then I'd suggest just using that or the audiobook/kindle thing and highlight any sentences you want, then copy them from your kindle homepage into your SRS (though that might be unwieldy if you want both the English and German versions - still possible with two versions of the e-book, but it sounds like a hassle).

    Not sure if any of these will be helpful - I wish I had something better to suggest! If only the world had more Assimil lol.

    Edit: formatting and comment on last link.
u/Celektus · 3 pointsr/BreadTube

At least for Anarchists or other left-libertarians it should also be important to actually read up on some basic or even fundamental ethical texts given most political views and arguments are fundamentally rooted in morality (unless you're a orthodox Marxist or Monarchist). I'm sadly not familiar enough with applied ethics to link collections of arguments for specific ethical problems, but it's very important to know what broad system you're using to evaluate what's right or wrong to not contradict yourself.

At least a few very old texts will also be available for free somewhere on the internet like The Anarchist Library.

Some good intro books:

  • The Fundamentals of Ethics by Russ Shafer-Landau
  • The Elements of Moral Philosophy by James and Stuart Rachels
  • Ethics: A Very Short Introduction by Simon Blackburn

    Some foundational texts and contemporary authors of every main view within normative ethics:

  • Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotles for Classic Virtue-Ethics. Martha Nussbaum would be a contemporary left-wing Virtue-Ethicist who has used Marx account of alienation to argue for Global Justice.
  • Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals by Immanuel (or Emmanuel) Kant for Classic Deontology. Kantianism is a popular system to argue for anti-statism I believe even though Kant himself was a classical liberal. Christine Korsgaard would be an example of a contemporary Kantian.
  • The Methods of Ethics by Henry Sidgwick for Classic Utilitarianism. People usually recommend Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill, but most contemporary Ethicists believe his arguments for Utilitarianism suck. 2 other important writers have been R. M. Hare and G. E. Moore with very unique deviations from classic Utilitarianism. A contemporary writer would be Peter Singer. Utilitarianism is sometimes seemingly leading people away from Socialism, but this isn't necessarily the case.
  • Between Facts and Norms and other works by the contemporary Critical Theorist Jürgen Habermas may be particularly interesting to Neo-Marxists.
  • A Theory of Justice by John Rawls. I know Rawls is a famous liberal, but his work can still be interpreted to support further left Ideologies. In his later works like Justice as Fairness: A Restatement you can see him tending closer to Democratic Socialism.
  • Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche for... Nietzsche's very odd type of Egoism. His ethical work was especially influential to Anarchists such as Max Stirner, Emma Goldman or Murray Bookchin and also Accelerationists like Jean Baudrillard.
  • In case you think moralism and ethics is just bourgeois propaganda maybe read something on subjectivism like Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong by J. L. Mackie
  • Or if you want to hear a strong defense of objective morality read Moral Realism: A Defense by Russ Shafer-Landau orc
u/maryfamilyresearch · 3 pointsr/Genealogy

Friesian genealogy is its own animal. A part that many non-Friesians struggle with is that from a certain timeframe on the surnames are patronymic.

Some sources that might be useful for you:

  • http://meta.genealogy.net/ and https://www.grabsteine-ostfriesland.de/suche.php - the second is a sort-of "find a grave" specifically for East Frisia, only that instead of recording graves they record removed gravestones. In Germany graves are removed after 30 years, we simply don't have the space in the cemeteries to let the graves sit there for all eternity. The scope of the site is very limited, there are only a handful of volunteers working on it, so don't be dissappointed if your ancestors aren't on there.

    The first link is the main website and database for genealogy purposes in Germany, all volunteer-driven. Consider uploading your tree to gedbas.genealogy.net in the hope of connecting with others who research the same family.

  • The websites and databases of the Oldenburg Society for Genealogy, see https://www.familienkunde-oldenburg.de/ogf-datenbanken/ and particularily
    http://www.auswanderer-oldenburg.de/

    I did a quick search, is this person part of your tree?

    http://www.auswanderer-oldenburg.de/getperson.php?personID=I24087&tree=Auswanderer

    And this is Hermine Carls nee Tapken: http://www.auswanderer-oldenburg.de/getperson.php?personID=I91851&tree=Auswanderer

    Other emigrants from the parish of Bockhorn: http://www.auswanderer-oldenburg.de/showsource.php?sourceID=S746&tree=Auswanderer

  • Above mentioned Oldenburg Society for Genealogy is working on creating a database of one-place studies extracted from the churchbooks. Only members have access. Consider joining and or contacting one of the volunteers working on the area you are interested in.

  • http://www.akvz.de/index.html

    It is a website of volunteers who transcribe information of the few surviving census records in Germany and especially Northern Germany along the coast. As a non-member you have to wait 15 seconds before you can start a search, you can see the countdown in the screen. (Datenbank = database) The transcription is not complete and won't be for many years, but records get added frequently, so check back regularily. They also have a forum where you can post and ask whether records exist for the places you are looking at and whether anybody is working on it. (Again, it is all done by volunteers.)

  • Another thing you could do is contact the town archive of Leer, maybe they have records regarding people who emigrated like old passport applications and stuff.

    https://www.leer.de/Bildung-Kultur/Kultur/Stadtarchiv

    Snail-mail adress

    Stadtarchiv

    Rathausstraße 1

    26789 Leer (Ostfriesland)

    Germany

  • A some-what important event you should know about:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade_Treaty

    The construction of Wilhelmshaven led to lots of upheaval in the general area. Farmers who used to live in the area that became Wilhelmshaven moved away, often using the money they got for buying farms within a 30 mile radius. This was a major push factor for emigration from the general area, those who wanted to sell their farms and hop on a ship overseas or move east suddenly had solvent buyers. At the same time the construction site drew a lot of workers from all over Prussia, many of them male and single. The construction site was a bit like a wild-west gold mining town, really rattling things up in this area where things had a habit of changing very slowly.

  • Finally, have you read the literary classic "Der Schimmelreiter" by Theodor Storm?

    It is "the" book to read if you are interested in Northern Germany, similarily to reading Gone With the Wind, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn as well as Uncle Tom's Hut when you are interested in the Old South of the USA.

    There are two translations of this book available in English. I've been told the Denis Jackson translation from 1996 is better, this translation is titled "The Dykemaster".

    https://www.amazon.com/Dykemaster-Angel-Classics-Theodor-Storm/dp/0946162549/

    But the kindle version of the other translation named "The Rider on the White Horse" is only 2 USD, so if you don't care for a few spelling errors you could get this.

    https://www.amazon.com/Rider-White-Horse-Review-Classics/dp/1590173015/

    However if you love to read for fun I would recommend picking up this collection of stories by Theodor Storm:

Walter Moers

Given the massive success of Adams, Pratchett and others, the rave reviews of everything in Moers' ever-expanding Zamonia series, the fantastic illustrations and the riotous and creative writing I cannot believe so few people have read these books.

These books have some deep social and psychological analysis alongside absurdity, humor, violence, love and adventure.

Reference books, chronologically:

  • The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear

  • Rumo

  • The City of Dreaming Books

  • Alchemaster's [sic] Apprentice

    Editorial reviews:


    >“Cheerfully insane. . . . Remains lively and inventive right through the final heroic battle between good and evil.”

    —The New York Times Book Review


    >“Moers’s creative mind is like J.K. Rowling’s on ecstasy; his book reads like a collision between The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the Brothers Grimm…. What a delightful book.”

    —Detroit News and Free Press

    >“An overstuffed confection… Cross The Lord of the Rings with Yellow Submarine, throw in dashes of Monty Python, Douglas Adams, Shrek, and The Princess Bride…That’s the sort of alchemy in which this sprawling novel trades.”

    —Kirkus
u/what-shoe · 2 pointsr/Art

It's a bit of a younger read, I think the target audience is young adults or teenagers.

There are great little sketches littered throughout it which I've always enjoyed.

A great book with sketches in it is Rumo by Walter Mooers. He's a German cartoonist and wrote several great reads. They're light hearted, but still insightful. Less illustrated than the Edge Chronicles, but a bit better quality I would argue.

If you're interested in checking them out, here's some quick info I pulled up!

The Edge Chronicles

Example: http://theedgechronicles.wikia.com/wiki/Sky_Ships?file=Skyshipmapgalerider.png

Walter Moers

Rumo

Sorry about the excessive response, I just have always loved these books to death, easily some of my favorite reads of all time. That's coming from a huge fantasy fanatic that actually read through the entire Silmarillion like it was a damn history text.

u/bowling_memes · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

SOLVED! You’ve unknowingly helped me make the connection I’ve been trying to make for months. The book is Rumo: and his miraculous adventures, by Walter Moers. Link for the curious:

Rumo: And His Miraculous Adventures https://www.amazon.com/dp/1585679364/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hnooDbARCWXWS

Thank you so much for the help everyone

u/grammarandstyleaso · 1 pointr/booksuggestions

Read the Zamonia novels by Walter Moers.

Rumo is an especially thrilling read. Gory, funny, self-aware and just brilliant.

Moers writes like a micture between J.K. Rowling and Douglas Adams. Read the reviews on amazon. I know some people who actually rediscovered reading for themselves because of these books.

u/Expurgate · 2 pointsr/truebooks

Rumo & His Miraculous Adventures, by Walter Moers. Available in the original German too. Absolutely one of the most startlingly creative and fun stories I've ever read.

Read a few others by him too, The City of Dreaming Books is similarly fantastic, as was The Alchemaster's Apprentice.

u/chicken_slaad · 2 pointsr/German

This book of selected Grimm's Fairy Tales. Yes, I know--I was skeptical, too, when my wife gave it to me for Christmas. But it's now my favorite German-learning book.

  1. The grammar is simple, even compared to Harry Potter.

  2. The vocabulary is pretty simple, too, though it is a little bit dated.

  3. Best of all, it has German on the left page and English on the right, so you save tons of time looking up unfamiliar words. Just a quick glance across!

  4. The stories are metal. When dismembered corpses start falling down the chimney, you know you're not in Disneyland.
u/queenatstormsend · 2 pointsr/CasualConversation

Strong recommendation for David Mitchell's The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet (Dutch clerk in late 18th/early 19th century Dejima, lots of depth, gorgeous prose) and for Walter Moers's Rumo and his Miraculous Adventures (fantastical but oddly profound; I'd pick it up even if it doesn't sound like something you'd enjoy). I finished both of these very recently and they were amazing. They hopped right on my list of favourite books, if I'm honest.

Otherwise, I'd very much recommend my all-time favourites: Le Petit Prince (in French or English), Under Milk Wood, Cloud Atlas, and To Kill a Mockingbird (which is always worth a re-read, too).

I included Amazon links so that you know exactly which books I'm talking about, but please consider buying from local bookshops!

u/Pleased_to_meet_u · 6 pointsr/DnDGreentext

> The Dwarves by Markus Heitz.

Not hard at all. If you search the part I quoted, this Amazon listing is the first result.

Enjoy!

Hmm... maybe I'll put the first one on my Amazon wishlist. Thanks Jimbo!

u/mattwaldram · 2 pointsr/Fantasy

Hello, hello.

I published my first novel - Monsters of Elsewhere - in digital and paperback editions on the 21st December. So far so good, in terms of sales and whatnot.

Here be the blurb:

There is a land – let's call it Elsewhere – that is in no small amount of trouble. Giant wolves are tearing villages apart, a monster king is bringing his army across the sea to capture the legendary Hall of Glass, and the High Lord has completely disappeared.

Henry Whistler was eight when he got lost at a bus station in Hounslow. There his adventure began. For that was when he met the exiled invisible man, the monster swordsman, and the girl with the bright red hair.

Now a grown-up, Henry's childhood adventure is a faded memory... until his fiancée vanishes. Until he is drawn into another world. Until he is pursued by a blind assassin – with only a monster and a dead man for company – across a land that is in no small amount of trouble.

It's available on lots of stores, including Amazon, B&N, Kobo, and iTunes for $4.99.

However I have just put up a post in the main Fantasy forum here on Reddit explaining that I'm giving away free copies of the ebook to Redditors. Click here to see that post

There are no strings attached whatsoever. I'm just trying to increase my audience, and offering some free copies to a selected audience seemed like a sensible way to do that.

Hope people are okay with that... I was, after all, trying to follow Rule #1 of this community :)

u/PlagueD0k · 2 pointsr/NoStupidQuestions

I happen to have two different translations of this very book right next to me.

On this amazon listing for the book, it lists the translator right next to the author near the top of the page "Thomas Common (Translator) "

I found Walter Kauffman on amazon, and you can get his translation of "TSZ" through The Portable Nietzsche right there on Amazon in paperback, kindle or library binding formats.

Enjoy! As I have.

u/Demerara123 · 1 pointr/books

I'm a little late to the party, but I'm a longtime lurker and I just created an account to chime in with a few recommendations:

Maidenhair - Mikhail Shishkin. Shishkin is a contemporary Russian writer whose work is just beginning to find its way into English translation. The narrator of Maidenhead works in the Swiss immigration service, translating hearings for political asylum. Some of these transcripts form part of the text, alternating with the translator's own stories.

A Country Doctor's Notebook - Mikhail Bulgakov. There's more to Bulgakov than the (deservedly) aforementioned The Master and Margarita. This book is part autobiography and part fiction. The title basically says it all: a doctor in the remote Russian countryside recounts his experiences. It's a realistic tale; absent are the elements of the fantastic for which Bulgakov became famous.

Every Man Dies Alone - Hans Fallada. Inspired by a true story, this is the chilling tale of a Berlin couple who advocate civil disobedience against the Nazis. (Fallada, addicted to drugs and alcohol, wrote this novel in twenty-four days after his release from an asylum. He died not long after.) See also Fallada's The Drinker.

Lucky Jim - Kingsley Amis. I don't know if this qualifies as "a book not too many people know about" but it's probably worth mentioning here. It's the story of a hapless lecturer in medieval history at a small British university that skewers, with merciless satire, any number of British institutions. See also Amis' The Old Devils.

No Saints or Angels - Ivan Klima. Klima is a legend among Czech authors, and this is his most accessible novel. It's the story of a divorcee in Prague and the lives she is responsible for: her elderly, widowed mother, her terminally ill ex-husband, and her 15-year-old rebellious daughter. It is, at turns, funny and sad, but always poignant. See also Klima's collection of short stories, Lovers For a Day.

u/daftbrain · 1 pointr/books

I would recommend the Zamonia series by Walter Moers; Rumo & His Miraculous Adventures, The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear and The City of Dreaming Books. It's incredibly imaginative and great story-telling.

I started with the book: German Short Stories for Beginners, by My Daily German. I like it a lot because after each paragraph, they give the definitions of a few words used. They also keep using those words throughout the story so it helps to remember them. I have it on Kindle so translating other words is easy.

u/VeritassAequitass · 3 pointsr/europes

I'm reading The Woman on the Stairs by Bernhard Schlink, originally written in German and I'm reading the French translation.

I was really excited because Schlink wrote The Reader, which is an absolutely brilliant book about reckoning with responsibility during the Holocaust. I have never cried so much as I did with that book. The Woman on the Stairs is fine, but I'm a little disappointed as I feel like I'm trudging through it to get to the end.

u/Raper-Of-Mars · 2 pointsr/askphilosophy

This was the version I borrowed from my local library. I couldn't tell you if it's the most accurate translation, but I was certainly able to understand what was being written.

Check out the book Lord of All Things. It's not fantastic, but it's similar to your prompt. All on earth though.

The Zamonia Books by Walter Moers. Seriously.
Start with either
Rumo,
City of Dreaming Books
or
Captain Bluebear

Don't let the cover illustrations fool you: these are seriously entertaining, thrilling, funny and sometimes brutal reads (check the commentaries on amazon).

The dwarf series by Markus Heitz. Read it in German but it also has been translated. First book https://www.amazon.com/Dwarves-Markus-Heitz/dp/0316049441/ there are actually five. The last one has not been translated yet, but it lost some quality. Read it after surgery in hospital, even while hospitals are boring as shit the fifth book didn't help too much :)
