        Nostalgia

        by Mircea Cărtărescu, Gerhardt Csejka

        Nostalgia, das geniale Prosadebüt von Mircea Cartarescu, erzählt von Kindheit und Jugend im Bukarest der sechziger und siebziger Jahre. Im Licht der Erinnerung, die aus den Empfindungen aller Sinne aufersteht, gewinnen die Schauplätze eine überwältigende Präsenz. Da ist das zerklüftete, morastige Gelände hinter dem Wohnblock am Stefan-cel-Mare Boulevard, wo der geheimnisvolle Knabe Mendebilus eine ganze Kinderbande mit somnambuler Akrobatik und tiefsinnigen Geschichten in Bann schlägt. Oder der glitschige unterirdische Tunnel, durch den Gina und Andrei ins Naturhistorische Museum geraten, wo sie ihre erste Liebesnacht erleben. Schließlich der bizarre, melancholische Turm am Stadtrand und seine riesenhaften Bewohner. Zu Recht hat der Spiegel Mircea Cartarescu einen „Proust des Plattenbaus“ genannt. Die unerhörte Intensität, mit der er die Dinge und Geschöpfe der äußeren Welt schildert, gibt ihnen die magische, mystische Aura zurück. Meisterhaft versteht er es, die aus dem Traum, dem Wahnsinn und der poetischen Ekstase geborenen Bilder auf die Bühne unserer vermeintlich festgefügten Wirklichkeit zu schieben.

        Der verliebte Gefangene

        Tropische Erzählungen

        by Cees Nooteboom, Helga Beuningen

        Im Juni 1957 heuert ein magerer Vierundzwanzigjähriger auf der Gran Río an. Von Amsterdam soll die Reise über Lissabon in die Tropen führen, nach Trinidad, Britisch-Guyana und Surinam. Im Reisegepäck des ungewöhnlichen Matrosen: Bücher, Notizhefte und die Neugier eines angehenden Schriftstellers, der gerade mit großem Erfolg Philip und die anderen veröffentlicht hat und entdecken wird, daß es in der Welt nicht immer so träumerisch zugeht wie in seinem Romanerstling.Cees Nootebooms erste große Reise hat ihren Niederschlag gefunden in den Tropischen Erzählungen, die auf niederländisch bereits 1958 veröffentlicht wurden und nun, ergänzt um eine spätere Erzählung, erstmals vollständig auf deutsch vorliegen. Das Gefühl der Fremdheit angesichts der anderen Matrosen, die unbekannten Laute und Düfte, der Reichtum der Natur, die Armut der Menschen – all diese Eindrücke hat Nooteboom einfließen lassen in Geschichten, die von Sonderlingen handeln, von verirrten Existenzen, seltsamen Begegnungen und grausamen Verfehlungen. Ob in den Tropen angesiedelt oder auf dem europäischen Kontinent, den Erzählungen eignet ein unergründlich somnambules, schwüles Moment, eine »tropische« Aura, die fasziniert und in Bann schlägt. Der verliebte Gefangene gibt Einblick in eine verwunschene und verschwundene Welt – und in die Anfänge eines vor beinahe fünfzig Jahren schon kraftvollen und reifen Erzählers. »Du wolltest doch Romantik«, sagte er, »dafür hast du bezahlt. All die Idioten, die von Zeit zu Zeit auf einem unserer dämlichen Frachtschiffe mitfahren, wollen Seemannsromantik. Aber die gibt es nicht.«

        A Dream in Red Mansions

        by Cao Xue Qin

        "The Story of the Stone" (c. 1760), also known as "The Dream of the Red Chamber", is one of the greatest novels of Chinese literature. The fifth part of Cao Xueqin's magnificent saga, "The Dreamer Awakes", was carefully edited and completed by Gao E some decades later. It continues the story of the changing fortunes of the Jia dynasty, focussing on Bao-yu, now married to Bao-chai, after the tragic death of his beloved Dai-yu. Against such worldly elements as death, financial ruin, marriage, decadence and corruption, his karmic journey unfolds. Like a sleepwalker through life, Bao-yu is finally awakened by a vision, which reveals to him that life itself is merely a dream, 'as moonlight mirrored in the water'.

        CALLED TO THE DEEP

        by Desiree Niccoli

        When Killian Quinn, captain of offshore fishing boat Dawn Chaser, receives a distress call from a sailing ship caught in a terrible storm, he and his crew rush to provide aid. But when they arrive, all that’s left of the ship and its crew is splintered wood and a borderline hypothermic woman who can’t remember how she survived. His attraction to her is instant, and maintaining a professional distance proves to be a struggle, especially when she needs a place to stay that’s far from the press and curious townsfolk, and his idyllic cottage by the sea is the perfect sanctuary. What was supposed to be a thrilling once-in-a lifetime opportunity for Lorelei Roth—who’d never been to sea—turns into a seafaring tragedy. As Lorelei struggles to accept that she is The Flying Duchess’s only survivor, she is plagued by strange dreams and sleepwalking episodes that draw her into the ocean. And if the grieving process wasn’t hard enough, Lorelei also grapples with guilt from developing feelings for the captain who rescued her. But worst of all, is a new, unsettling hunger for raw flesh that’s eating her from the inside out. The handsome fishing boat captain begins to look like a tasty snack in more ways than one.

        Classic fiction (pre c 1945)

        Edgar Huntly, Or, Memoirs of a SleepWalker

        by Charles Brockden Brown (author)

        Often described as a "gothic novel," this is a classic American tale of mystery and murder with exciting and dramatic plot twists. Charles Brockden Brown is the most frequently studied and republished practitioner of the "early American novel," or the US novel between 1789 and roughly 1820.This volume contains a critical edition of Charles Brockden Brown’s Edgar Huntly, the third of his novels to be published in 1799 and the first to deal with the American wilderness. The basis of the text is the first edition, printed and published by Hugh Maxwell in Philadelphia late in the year, but the “Fragment” printed independently in Brown’s Monthly Magazine earlier in 1799 supplies some readings in Chapters 17-20. The Historical Essay, which follows the text, covers matters of composition, publication, historical background, and literary evaluation, and the Textual Essay discusses the transmission of the text, choice of copy-text, and editorial policy. A general textual statement for the entire edition appears in Volume I of the series.

        by Jonathan Pinnock

As Regency England sleepwalks toward tentacled oblivion, will she be able to reunite with her old foe Wickham and put a stop to their evil plans? Mrs Darcy Versus the Aliens is probably the most unconventional sequel to a Jane Austen novel ever written and is certainly the funniest.

        Cabaret Biarritz

        by José C. Vales

        NADAL PRIZE 2015 -   In the summer of 1925, the residents of Biarritz were shocked by a tragic event. The body of a young girl appeared dangling with a foot caught in one of the iron rings used for securing boats in the port. In 1938, the young, passionate writer Georges Miet receives what would turn out to be the most important assignment of his career. His editor asks him to write a ‘serious’ novel about what had taken place in Biarritz almost fifteen years earlier. Miet does not hesitate to travel to the vibrant, coastal city to speak to everyone who could have been linked to the event and comes upon people from all rungs of the social ladder; ranging from domestic employees to distinguished, high-society ladies, as well as reporters, two gendarmes, a photographer, artists, performers, a judge and even a nun. Miet interviews each person he believes to be involved, as if preparing a press feature, in order to meticulously transcribe their statements. He sketches an accurate and detailed portrait of sophisticated, outrageous Biarritz, which turns into the model setting for those golden years of the 1920s during which society sought to break with the most long-established and outdated conventions.

        Close Your Eyes, Iris!

        Why do you have to go to sleep, even if you’re not a bit tired? How do you know you’re sleepy? And what’s the sleepy monster?

        by Virpi Kaarina Talvitie et al.

        Iris is cross. She’s in the middle of a game, and her mother, tired out by the baby, is angrily telling her to go to bed. Why are grown-ups allowed to stay up later? Why do you have to go to bed if you’re not tired? And why doesn’t sleep come anyway? Who on earth is the Sandman?   Her dreams take Iris with them into the forest, to a farm, under the water and finally to the mountains. At that point the dream becomes a little frightening when Iris meets a sleepy monster suffering from insomnia! Fortunately, when Iris wakes up in the morning everything is back to normal. Even her mother is more cheerful.   Close your Eyes, Iris! is a book about the fascinating and still largely unknown world of sleep. Many exciting aspects of sleep receive a child-level explanation which will also interest adult readers: how do fish sleep? And what about jellyfish, which don’t have brains or eyes? How can bears sleep all winter? How do sleep and sleeplessness affect the human brain, nervous system and cells? Why is it sometimes really difficult to wake up?

        Passport to Enclavia

        Travels in Search of a European Identity

        by Vitali Vitaliev

        What does it mean to be European? The answer lies in Europe's forgotten enclaves - tiny fragments of one country cut off and completely surrounded by another, stuck between two different cultures, currencies and sometimes even languages. Vitali explores the idiosyncrasies of these enclaves, just as a uniform European identity - the Euro - was being imposed by Brussels. An acclaimed investigative journalist, Vitali was able to uncover the roots of the current EU crisis ten years ago, just when the Euro was being introduced. This makes his book extremely topical and surprisingly up-to-date.

        Violence and Emancipation in Colonial Ideology

        by Rohan B. E. PRICE

        Are there ethics justifying anti-colonial violence? How and why did the violence and visions of nationalist movements become incorporated by colonial and neo-colonial rule? Using the insurrection by the Malayan Communist Party (1948–1960) as an example, this book argues that resorting to violence sped up the decolonisation of British Malaya by forcing its colonial administration to invent Malay nationalism and pursue ameliorative social policy among the Chinese diaspora community in a manner clearly derived from the Party’s platform. Yet this was not the same as giving the country economic emancipation from the expectations of neo-colonial rule. Violence and Emancipation in Colonial Ideology entertains no warm colonial memories of the cold war years. Confirming Price’s reputation as a plain speaking critic of Empire apologia, this book asks how colonial ideology was considered to be beneath Europe yet desperately needed by it. He faces down nostalgic communities defending an outdated view that “might was right” in South East Asia and that communism failed to contribute to the world that came to be. Using an Althusserian assumption, the book begs the question: if a late colonial state was subjective, then how did it claim a sufficiently objective mantle to rule and how did ideological techniques enable this? “… A major contribution to the literature.” – Prof Kerry Brown, Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Lau China Institute at King’s College London “… [an] unparalleled command of both scholarly literature and primary sources…” – Prof Björn Ahl, Professor and Chair of Chinese Legal Culture at the University of Cologne
