      • Babel-Bridge Literary Agency

        Babel-Bridge specialises in translation rights representation world-wide on behalf of publishing houses and agencies.   At Babel-Bridge, every single book is carefully selected for its potential ability to travel, be it for its universal theme, its commercial hook or stunning artwork, or indeed all three.   Babel-Bridge represents mainly books from the Nordics and the UK, but we wish to grow the portfolio to include beautiful books that tick the aforementioned boxes from other corners of the world. To that end, Babel-Bridge will rely on close collaboration with subagents, who are strongly placed to identify the books that are most likely to travel, but where the rights holder lacks the network abroad.

        Dragon Child Bundle (Bände 1-3)

        by Omphalius, Ruth

        ***Alle drei Bände der magischen Drachenfantasy im Bundle*** Entfache das Feuer in dir! Sophie hat mit Übergewicht zu kämpfen, wird in der Schule gemobbt und kann sich nicht einmal gegen ihren kleinen Bruder durchsetzen. Am liebsten zieht sie sich mit einem guten Buch von der Welt zurück und hofft, im besten Fall einfach übersehen zu werden. Doch all das ändert sich schlagartig, als sich ihre unterdrückte Wut eines Tages in einem markerschütternden Schrei entlädt, Feuer und Verwüstung um sich greifen und Sophie in bizarre Träume abgleitet: hoch in der Luft schwebend über dem Haus ihrer Eltern oder auf der Flucht vor schaurigen Vogelwesen. Selbst dem coolsten Mädchen der Klasse, Melissa, fallen die Veränderungen auf und sie beginnt Sophie auszuspionieren. Weder Melissa noch Sophie ahnen jedoch, wie groß und lebensbedrohlich das Geheimnis, dem sie auf der Spur sind, tatsächlich ist. Dieses Bundle enthält alle drei Teile der fantastisch-magischen Dragon Child Serie: - Dragon Child 1: Das Erwachen - Dragon Child 2: Die Rebellion - Dragon Child 3: Die Allianz

        Dido, Queen of Carthage

        by Christopher Marlowe

        by Ruth Lunney

        A city burns, and a queen burns for love: Dido, Queen of Carthage re-imagines one of the great legendary stories. The encounter between a wandering hero and an African queen engenders love and loss, eroticism and absurdity, childish simplicity and compelling eloquence. Written for children to perform in the 1580s, Dido is nonetheless a remarkable play, revolutionary in its approach to character, blank verse, and audiences. This volume is the first single-text scholarly edition in English. It is an indispensable resource for scholars, students, and theatre practitioners. The edition features an accessible text, lightly punctuated for ease of reading and speaking. It incorporates new research into authorship (which indicates that Marlowe wrote the play), a detailed analysis of Dido's sources, and a survey of criticism; it assesses the evidence for early performances and provides extensive information about modern productions.

        Love and authority in the work of Paula Rego

        Narrating the family romance

        by Ruth Rosengarten

        Rosengarten explores the narrative operations of Rego's work by mobilising both psychoanalytic theory and social history. She confronts, as case studies, three complex figure paintings from different moments in Rego's oeuvre: The Policeman's Daughter (1987), The Interrogator's Garden (2000), and The First Mass in Brazil (1993). The content of the three specimen paintings links them to the political context of the Estado Novo, the fascist-inspired regime that dominated Rego's childhood. Plotting links between the spheres of the political and the personal, Rosengarten throws light on the complex intertwining of state power and parental authority in Rego's work, focusing on the "labour of socialisation and resistance" that Rego's work evinces in relation to the Freudian model of the family romance. Rosengarten unveils the political context of Portugal under Salazar, and the workings of colonial fantasy, Catholic ideology and gender construction. In prodding the inalienable link between love and authority, this study offers a reading of Rego's work that interrogates, rather than subverts, the Oedipal model structuring the patriarchal family.

        Der Berg des bösen Rates

        by Amos Oz, Ruth Achlama

        Amos Oz richtet in der 1976 entstandenen Erzählung Der Berg des bösen Rates sein Augenmerk auf die Zeit unmittelbar vor der Gründung des Staates Israel. Im Mai 1946 werden der aus Schlesien 1932 nach Palästina eingewanderte Veterinärmediziner Hans Kipnis und seine aus Warschau stammende Frau Ruth zu einem Ball im Palast des Britischen Hochkommissars für Palästina eingeladen. Beide nehmen die Einladung zu dem Fest auf dem Berg des bösen Rates an, und im Verlaufe des Abends treffen beide eine existentielle Entscheidung - eine Entscheidung, die Ausdruck ihrer Elinstellung zu der sich abzeichnenden Gründung des Staates Israel ist. In dieser vielstimmigen, nach dem klassischen Muster der Novelle komponierten Erzählung ruft Amos Oz die unterschiedlichen Erwartungen der europäischen Einwanderer in Palästina vor der Gründung des Staates Israel in Erinnerung.
