Zwei Bände, die ebenfalls Entdeckungen bergen: Viele dieser Geschichten erscheinen erstmals auf deutsch. In ihrer klugen, unprätentiösen und sinnlichen Mischung aus Tagebuch, impressionistischen Reisebildern, kritischer Reflexion und philosophischer Betrachtung spiegeln sie Eigenart und Meisterschaft des niederländischen Autors.

        My Life with Lifers

        by Elaine Leeder

        My Life With Lifers Lessons For A Teacher: Humanity Has No Bars "I have always been drawn to darkness," Elaine Leeder writes. "I know I always championed the underdog." As a sociology professor at Ithaca College in the 1990s, she began teaching at Elmira Correctional Facility in upstate New York. When she moved to California, that same desire to help led her to the prison education program at San Quentin. Then, inspired by her lessons, a group of Leeder's students approached her about working with a program the prisoners had established to aid in their long and difficult process of redemption and transformation. She accepted. These members of New Leaf on Life-the San Quentin "lifers"-have been sentenced to terms ranging from fifteen years to life in prison. Unlike Death Row inmates, who will either die in prison or be executed, many of the lifers are eligible for parole after having spent twenty to thirty years behind bars. But too often, they never see that opportunity because of the popular view that they are all "hardened criminals," killers incapable of rehabilitation and unfit to be free. What Leeder has learned, however, is that incarceration does not dictate character. Her students, although they are convicts, are committed to making their time in jail a life sentence in the best sense, not a death sentence. They have gone the extra mile to come to terms with their crimes, and have often managed to redeem their lives. My Life With Lifers shares the journey of a woman "on the outside" as she discovered the true nature of life in prison, and the roadblocks-so many of them unneeded-on the inmates' path to freedom. What Leeder's experiences add up to is both a fascinating human story and a reasoned and impassioned case for prison reform.

        Still on the Earth

        by Yu Xiuhua

        Still on the Earth is the first novel of Yu Xiuhua the poet. Taking Yu Xiuhua as the archetypal character, the novel has depicted the story of a disabled woman who suffers, fights and chooses “being-towards-death”. As she is ill with cerebral palsy, Zhou Yu, the heroine, has been ignored and even discarded by nearly everyone and the whole society. However, she yearns for being treated as a healthy and normal person instead of being offered with any pity or disdain. All she wants is just equality. Driven by the lack of love, the misfortune of family as well as various encounters in life, Zhou Yu employs poems to express her feelings. Finally she creates a literary realm with her poems and gets acknowledged. The author calmly narrates the unfortunate life of disabled people and turns the darkness and love deep down in her heart into the nutrients for growth, thereby achieving the spiritual state featured with reality, optimism, braveness and calmness.

        My Life with Viruses

        A researcher’s history of the fascinating world of pathogens

        by Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker in association with Jeanne Rubner

        In times of the coronavirus pandemic many people have certainly condemned them, but Professor Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker has dedicated his life to researching them and is intrigued by viruses – even if sometimes he is keenly aware of their fatal effects. To mark his 80th birthday the biochemist describes the co-evolution and co-existence as well as the eternal ‘battle’ between humans and viruses. Winnacker takes up the cause of these ‘biological elements between animate and inanimate nature’ because they play an important role in fundamental research and genetic technology, and without them human beings would not be what they are.
