Four Saints in Three Acts by Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson was a major avant-garde phenomenon of the 1930s, an experimental opera that nonetheless achieved remarkable popular success. Photography was a key element of that success, but its complex roles in the construction, representation and dissemination of the opera have hitherto received little critical attention. The photographic recording of the all-African American cast in particular affords a unique insight into the complexities of Four Saints in relation to the Harlem Renaissance and the New York avant-gardes of the time. This book, published in collaboration with The Photographers' Gallery, London, presents a wide selection of photographs of the cast, performances, and other material - many images reproduced for the first time - alongside essays by an international range of scholars exploring different aspects of the opera, including dance, fashion, music, and avant-garde writing, as well as photography.

“Chronicles of one hunger strike” is a diary of Oleh Sentsov, the Kremlin prisoner, who had been keeping it since May 2018, the third day after he announced indefinite hunger strike with the demand to free Ukrainian political prisoners. Day by day, throughout 145 days, despite moral pressure and physical exhaustion, Oleh had been frankly and honestly writing in his notebook in small, illegible letters, extremely accurately recording his everyday life in Russian prison, his observations and thoughts. After his release the author miraculously managed to take his notes out of Russia. “4 and a half steps” is a collection of small prose by Oleh Sentsov, written in a Russian prison. What does a man feel, having gotten to prison for the first time? How do prisoners live in tight and dirty cells, behind thick walls and muddy windows with double grid? What rules and laws one should obey, having gotten there? The author tells as objectively and critically as he can about prisoners’ life and circumstances that led them to captivity—he does not justify, nor criticise, but only witnesses. Striking, sometimes horrifying facts with verified accurate details create a convincing background, where events of numerous lives unfold. The author usually does not make any conclusions—he leaves this right to the reader.

In den Bänden 4 und 5 der Gesammelten Werke in sieben Bänden werden Celans übersetzungen zusammengefaßt. Es handelt sich hierbei um Übertragungen aus dem Französischen, Russischen, Englischen und Amerikanischen, Italienischen, Rumänischen, Portugiesischen und Hebräischen. Originaltext und übersetzungen sind einander synoptisch zugeordnet. Celans Übertragungen stehen gleichberechtigt neben seiner originären Lyrik.Vor allem in ihnen wird der Ausgangspunkt der Celanschen Lyrik sichtbar: öffnung gegenüber dem Anderen und Begegnung. Darüber hinaus ist in beiden Bänden nicht nur eine biographische Spur zu verfolgen; der Leser findet in ihnen nichts weniger als eine kleine Bibliothek der Weltliteratur. »Das Gedicht will zu einem Anderen, es braucht dieses Andere, es braucht ein Gegenüber. Es sucht es auf, es spricht sich ihm zu.«

»Die ›Definition‹ eines ersten Trainings des aufrechten Gangs hatte noch geschwankt zwischen den Formeln ›Stoff zum Schreiben, zum Leben‹. Inzwischen scheint es sich für den Lyriker geklärt zu haben: Leben ist Schreiben. Alle ›Materialien‹ von I bis – vorerst – XIV, Landschaft und Dichtung, Taten wie Untaten, erfüllte Augenblicke und der Wutausbruch im ›Material‹ VI (›Der Frieden‹): alles Stoff zum Leben in der geformten Sprache des Gedichts. Hier wird alles zum Material. Zeilen großer Dichtung und große Gedanken eines unglücklichen Bewußtseins, Schrei und Gelächter, sound and fury«, schrieb Hans Mayer im Nachwort der 1990 unter dem Titel Der Stoff zum Leben 1–3 erschienenen Erstausgabe (BS 1039). Voker Brauns Zyklus wird in dem neuen Band erweitert und abgeschlossen durch einen vierten Teil »Der Stoff zum Leben 4: TUMULUS«, der zuerst separat veröffentlicht wurde (Tumulus, 1999).
