Children's & YAMarch 2018Legend of Nancun
by TANG Sulan
Legend of Nancun is the latest long fairy tale created by Tang Sulan, a famous children literature writer. Stories in the book all happen in a place called “Nancun”. (The place is similar to Never Land in Peter Pan. Different from Never Land, a place inhabited by children only, Nancun is a paradise on the Earth, where humans, animals, spirits and immortals can live together.) Some animals in forests of Nancun are very special. They like dressing themselves in the way humans do. Some of them can even cultivate their vital energy to become immortal. Stories of these animals are intertwined with those of humans in Nancun to form the Legend of Nancun. The book consists of four separate but interconnected beautiful and imaginary stories, including Sheshen Stone, Teenager and Boa, Fox Son-in-Law, and Grandma Ding.

The Violaceous Amethyst
by Lennon-Ritchie, Aoife
Aoife Lennon-Ritchie, literary agent and author, brings out the first title in her humorous Viking-fantasy teen series, A Viking Legend: The Violaceous Amethyst. This winter, siblings Ruairi and Dani Miller visit their grandmother in the legendary Viking island of Yondersaay. In less than twenty-four hours of their arrival, Ruairi is mistaken for the lost Boy King of Denmark, kidnapped by Vikings, and scheduled to be sacrificed at sundown. Granny isn’t very pleased. But when they are the only ones in town who fail to go “Viking,” the three turn to Granny’s extremely epic tales of the legends of Yondersaay, The Gifts of Odin, and King Dudo the Mightily Impressive for clues. But not all stories end happily, and Ruari, Dani, and Granny will have to write their own happy ending if things are to return to normal. The Princess Bride meets Vikings in this enchanted tale of high adventure, buried treasure, villainous treachery, violent ends, and true love.

Children's & YABelieve me, I'm Not an Egret!
by Hossein Ghorbani
This story is a recreation of a fable originally written in “Kalila and Demna”, an ancient book with Indian roots. In the original story, an old egret tricks the fish into thinking that they are being taken to a safe lake, but they are in fact becoming the egret’s food. Until one day, the crab also asks the egret to take him to the lake and sees the remaining fish bones while riding on his back. He then returns and informs the others. “Believe Me, I’m not an Egret!” is a parody of the original fable, encouraging the children to think about and question what they hear.

June 1995Die Legende vom Künstler
Ein geschichtlicher Versuch
by Ernst Kris, Otto Kurz, Ernst H. Gombrich
"Die Fragestellung dieser Schrift betrifft die Haltung der Umwelt zum Künstler. Nicht der Lebenslauf des Künstlers, sondern das Urteil von Mit- und Nachwelt wird uns als Quelle dienen, die Künstlerbiographik im weitesten Sinn; in ihrem Mittelpunkt steht die Legende vom Künstler. Wir meinen aufzeigen zu können, daß in aller Biographik gewisse Grundvorstellungen vom bildenden Künstler nachzuweisen sind, die, ihrem Wesen nach aus einheitlicher Wurzel verständlich, sich bis in die Anfänge der Geschichtsschreibung zurückverfolgen lassen. Bei aller Abwandlung und Umgestaltung scheinen sie bis in die jüngste Vergangenheit ihre Bedeutung nie ganz eingebüßt zu haben."

June 2007Die Legende der Zeiten im Kunstwerk der Erinnerung
13. Publikation der Marcel Proust Gesellschaft
by Patricia Oster, Karlheinz Stierle
Prousts Werk ist nicht nur die Erweckung einer subjektiven Welt, sondern zugleich eine »Legende der Zeiten«, die wie Victor Hugos großes lyrisches Epos La légende des siècles von den kulturellen Uranfängen bis in die Moderne reicht. Die in diesem Band versammelten Aufsätze gehen den großen überpersönlichen Schichtungen in Prousts Zeitkunstwerk nach: von der alttestamentarischen und antiken Welt über Mittelalter und Renaissance, das Zeitalter der französischen Klassik bis zu der noch im Werden begriffenen Moderne mit den jüngsten Errungenschaften der Technik: Auto, Flugzeug und Telephon. Der Band enthält die Beiträge des Konstanzer Symposiums der Marcel Proust Gesellschaft vom 1. bis 4. Juli 2004.

The ArtsFebruary 2022"I am Jugoslovenka!"
Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism
by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon
"I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.
