        Leben & Kunst / Life & Art

        by Janosch

        The first authorized biography of Mr Janosch Everyone knows them: the Tiger and the Bear, the yellowblack striped Tigerduck, and all the other figures created by Janosch. The artist has become a myth himself, because he likes to tell tales about himself as much as he loves to entertain with his stories. And one should never believe everything he says. There it is: the first (auto-)biography of the worldknown author and painter. The book contains several interviews with the artist and an article about the meeting between Astrid Lindgren and Janosch, along with a rich selection of his works. And of course: many pictures of the man himself - working or lying in the hammock.

        Die Männer mit dem rosa Winkel / The Men with the Pink Triangle

        by Heinz Heger

        A precious testimony about the persecution of homosexuals by the Nazis For decades, history ignored the Nazi persecution of gay people. Only with the rise of the Gay Movement in the 1970s did historians finally recognize that gay people, like Jews and others deemed „undesireable“, suffered enormously at the hands of the Nazi regime. Of the few gay men who survived the concentration camps, only one ever came forward to tell his story. The Men with the Pink Triangle is his account of those nightmarish years. Providing an important introduction to a long-forgotten chapter of gay history, the book tells the true story of an Austrian man who chose to remain anonymous, because persecution kept continuing when he first broke his silence in 1971. He confided his experiences to the German writer Heinz Heger.

        Hinkepott

        by Horst Janssen

        The autobiography of the famous painter This first part of Horst Janssen’s „autobiographical hop skips“ outlines moments of his childhood in Oldenburg, impressions from the NAPOLA in Haselünne, episodes from his times at the academy in Hamburg, loves and passions and pranks he did out of sheer high spirits together with friends. Furthermore, there are quiet and angry contemplations about the contemporary situation. These autobiographical letters and essays result in an unity of past and present in which the past is enriched by reflections and moods of today. In Hinkepott there is a variety of contemplative and humorous anecdotes, aggressive poetry, obscenity, clear analysis, despairing sadness and tender entreaty: “And these games of course lack of any chronological order. Naturally. This is close to their ‘object’ because ‘I’ did not live in strict chronology according to the rules.“
