Literature & Literary StudiesApril 2023Hari Kunzru
by Kristian Shaw, Sara Upstone
This book is the first edited collection to focus on the work of contemporary author Hari Kunzru. It contains major new essays on each of his novels - The Impressionist, Transmission, My Revolutions, Gods Without Men, White Tears and Red Pill - as well as his short fiction and non-fiction writings. The collection situates Kunzru's work within current debates regarding postmodernism, postcolonialism, and post-postmodernism, and examines how Kunzru's work is central to major thematic concerns of contemporary writing including whiteness, national identity, Britishness, cosmopolitanism, music, space, memory, art practice, trauma, Brexit, immigration, covid-19, and populist politics. The book engages with current debates regarding the politics of publishing of ethnic writers, examining how Kunzru has managed to shape a career in resistance of narrow labelling where many other writers have struggled to achieve long-term recognition.

July 2013Prosa
by Bertolt Brecht
»Wenige wissen heute ...« – so beginnt zum Beispiel die Geschichte um Giacomo Ui aus Padua, eine »Satire auf Hitler im Stile der Historiographen der Renaissance«, wie Walter Benjamin im September 1934 bei einem seiner Besuche bei Brecht im dänischen Exil erfährt. Wenige wissen heute, daß der Stückeschreiber und Lyriker erste überregionale Beachtung findet als Erzähler mit seiner »Flibustiergeschichte« Bargan läßt es sein (erschienen im September 1921 in München): »die Leute kennen alle die Novelle im Merkur und reden einiges davon und wollen mir alle noch behilflich sein«, weiß Brecht – auf der Suche nach »Verbindungen« in Berlin – zum Jahresende von dort zu berichten. Die vorliegende Quarto-Ausgabe versammelt die großen Exiltexte und Vorhaben, den Dreigroschenroman und die Romanfragmente über die sog. Tuis oder über Caesar, genauso wie frühe Romanentwürfe etwa zu den Geschäften mit dem Boxen, die Prosasammlungen wie die Geschichten vom Herrn Keuner (einschließlich der erst 2004 entdeckten) oder das Buch der Wendungen sowie alle Einzelgeschichten und Filmgeschichten: Seeräuber und Boxer, höfliche Chinesen, klassische Mythen, Mata Hari, Henry Dunant oder Eulenspiegel sind Beispiele aus dem breiten Spektrum der Texte von 1913 bis 1956.

Identidad perdida – Una novela dramática
by Hadassa Ashdot
Identidad perdida – Una novela dramática por Hadassa Ashdot Identidad perdida es una novela conmovedora que cuenta la historia de tres generaciones de hombres y mujeres. A través de los ojos y los relatos de cada uno, una trama escalofriante se desarrolla por diferentes espacios de tiempos, en Israel y en el extranjero. ?Pero sobre quién es esta historia? ?Es acaso sobre el héroe israelí, el agente secreto bajo tapadera diplomática, cuya vida gira en torno a la encrucijada entre una operación de "capa y puñal" o entre cualquier otra misión, siempre ‘en el nombre de’, siempre por la causa? ?O es acaso sobre una mujer, la que brinda la vida, quien vive bajo la sombra de los hombres de su vida: su padre, marido, hijo, amigos y amantes? En el aniversario del fallecimiento de su hijo Uri, un piloto de combate que perdió su vida en una de la muchas batallas de Israel, Marit, se queda sola después de que los invitados se van, reconsidera su vida y las personas significativas que toman parte en ella: Hanoch, su marido oficial de inteligencia, incapaz de enfrentar la perdida de su hijo, la ha abandonado; y Uri, el hijo fallecido, que fue acostado y atado a un altar de sacrificio, como padres israelíes inspirados por el sentido de la causa y el heroísmo, sacrifican a sus hijos por la patria. A causa de que Marit conoce personalmente la muerte y el luto, en el encuentro colectivo, transmite oscuridad, una realidad israelí heroica de amor y muerte – Eros y Thánatos. Esta es una historia de amor: el apasionado amor entre un hombre y una mujer; el amor a un país que causa muerte; el amor afectuoso de los padres por su hijo, que resulta ser un amor que lo mata y a ellos también. Es también una historia sobre la muerte, y el fracaso de ese amor desesperado. Psicóloga y profesora de universidad Hadassa Ashdot nació en Tel Aviv y creció en Jerusalén. Sus cuentos cortos han aparecido en dos revistas literarias destacadas, Moznayim y Prosa. Hasta la fecha, Ashdot ha publicado dos novelas (en hebreo): Identidad perdida y Marianne de la nieve. La experiencia de la autora como psicóloga del ejercito que enfrenta el luto a causa de las guerras y problemas asociados con traumas a causa de neurosis de guerra, son reflejados claramente en sus trabajos de ficción.

Biography & True StoriesOctober 2017Spies
Mata Hari and other women in secret mission
by Hagen Kunze
Mata Hari is still an example of many women who have chosen to live a life full of danger and mystery. The 100th death anniversary of the probably most famous spy of all times in October 2017 and the opening of the files around her espionage activity, were the occasion for this exciting book project. Author Hagen Kunze not only introduces Margaretha Geertruida cell alias Mata Hari, but also eleven other spies and their gripping life portraits. Twelve women, whose life stories could not be more different, some of whom put themselves into the service of the fatherland out of conviction, others simply for money or love, including Belle Boyd, Josephine Baker, Elisabeth Schragmuller, Benita von Falkenhayn, Hilde Kruger, Helene Barczatis, Ethel Rosenberg or Ursula Kuczynski alias Ruth Werner.This gripping book is entirely dedicated to the female side of espionage and searches for the motives of these women for their play with fire. Some have paid dearly with their lives, others remained undisturbed until old age. In any case, these women are worth having their stories told and not forgotten.

Personal & social issuesNovember 2016Graphic Lives - Hari
by Jo Browning Wroe, Carol Holliday
Graphic Lives is a series of highly engaging graphic novels for young people who may need counselling and psychotherapy. Each book introduces the difficulties faced by a teenage character and follows them as they travel on their therapeutic journey with a skilled and creative therapist. The key aims of these books are: to demystify counselling and psychotherapy so that it is more appealing and accessible to young people; to destigmatise emotional and mental health problems so that young people are better able to accept help; to encourage young people to embark upon their own healing journeys, equipped with the sense that there is a way forward. As fifteen year-old Hari approaches his mock-GCSEs, he begins to experience anxiety attacks aggravated by his fears of failure to meet his own and his family's expectations. When intermittent feigned illness escalates to the point where he runs out of an exam and hides in a cupboard, Hari agrees to see Steph, the school counsellor. Together they explore ways for Hari to manage his own anxiety and be less critical of himself.
