        Seelandschaft mit Pocahontas

        Zettel und andere Materialien. Mit Vierfarb-Faksimiles von Zetteln, Materialien und Manuskript

        by Arno Schmidt, Susanne Fischer, Bernd Rauschenbach

        Alice Schmidt wäre im Sommer 1953 lieber an die Riviera gereist, Arno dagegen plädierte zunächst für ein paar dringend benötigte Möbel. Schließlich verbrachten die beiden im Juni des Jahres fünf Tage am Dümmer, einem See bei Diepholz - abgesehen von einer Fahrt nach London ihre einzige Urlaubsreise. In den folgenden Wochen schrieb Schmidt unter dem Eindruck dieser Tage seine wohl zarteste Liebesgeschichte, Seelandschaft mit Pocahontas. Erstmals wird ein kompletter Zettelkasten zu einem Werk Arno Schmidts veröffentlicht; rund 700 Zettel und alle Manuskriptblätter werden im Vierfarb-Faksimile gezeigt, ergänzt um 20 Schwarz-Weiß-Photos und Auszüge aus dem Tagebuch Alice Schmidts. Die bisher erschienenen Faksimile-Ausgaben sind von der Stiftung Buchkunst, Frankfurt am Main, jeweils als »eines der schönsten deutschen Bücher des Jahres« ausgezeichnet worden.

        JOE CAN FIX IT

        JOE CAN FIX IT

        by Aviva Lipstein

        Seemingly an amusing, illustrated story, it is in fact much more - an educational book about a child’s transition from preschool to elementary school, a transition often accompanied by fears and concerns of the parents as well as the child. In his Introduction, Clinical and Developmental Psychologist Carl I. Rubinroit, Ph.D. writes:  The transition from nursery school to elementary school is often a source of worry and anxiety for both children and their parents. In this endearing book, Aviva Lipstein describes the experiences of a little boy about to enter school for the first time. Through her hero, Danny, the author presents us with a collection of “magical tools”, which help him to overcome his fears and cope with the challenges facing him in his new environment. This book is recommended especially for nursery school “graduates”, first-year pupils and their parents, as well as older children who might like to “remember.” The story was translated into English by Ora Cummings, a native of the UK, and is suited to contemporary life in England (and could easily be suited to other countries as well) within the universal setting of the child’s passage from the nurturing environment of the kindergarten to the more demanding atmosphere of the “big” school. The author, Aviva Lipstein, who passed away in 1994, was brought up in France - in Paris and in Nice on the French Riviera. During WWII, she was protected and educated by Dominican nuns, and after the war she came to settle in the new state of Israel. Mrs. Lipstein, graduate of the School of Social Work at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, worked with young children until her retirement. She lived in Tel Aviv, was married and had two sons and a daughter, as well as a grandson - all of whom were raised on her stories. 40 pages, full-color hardcover, beautiful color drawings, 16.5X24 cm

        The Private Adolf Loos

        Portrait of an Eccentric Genius

        by Claire Beck Loos; Translated by Constance C. Pontasch and Nicholas Saunders

        An intimate literary portrait of the infamously eccentric and influential modern architect, told in lively, snapshot-like vignettes. The Private Adolf Loos reveals the personality and philosophy that helped shape Modern architecture in Vienna and the Czech lands. Includes an introduction, supplemental texts, writings by Loos and photographs. The Loos' trip to the French Riviera and his work in France are a significant part of the story.   Recommended to all those interested not only in architecture but also in the dynamic era of twenties and thirties. Not only a recollection of an extraordinary and controversial personality, Claire’s book is also an excellent literary work. She has captured with a brilliant lightness and humor the tedious, but not boring, life beside a somewhat self-centered genius. […] We still feel Loos’ charisma.– “Annoyed on Vacation and Misunderstood on Site: Loos, We Do Not Know Him,” Lidovk.cz   What makes the book most valuable is the fine-grained portrait it provides us of Loos’ last years, of his activities and his preoccupations. […] The English translation of her book, made by Constance C. Pontasch [and Nicholas Saunders], is fluent and accurate, conveying well the tone of Claire Loos’ original (which, in turn, to some extent mimics Loos’ own writing style). Paterson’s introduction and afterword, along with some forty previously unpublished family photographs, add to the story and help flesh it out. It is a richly informative.– Christopher Long, West 86th: A Journal of Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture

        Understanding Irène Némirovsky

        by Margaret Scanlan

        Understanding Irène Némirovsky offers a sympathetic, nuanced reading of Némirovsky’s fiction. Scanlan begins with an overview of the writer’s life—her upper-class Russian childhood, her family’s immigration to France, her troubled relationship with her neglectful mother—and then traces how such experiences informed her novels and stories, including works set in revolutionary Russia, among the nouveau riche on the Riviera, and in struggling French families and failing businesses during the Depression. Scanlan examines the Suite Française and other works that address the rise of fascism and anti-Semitism. Viewing Némirovsky as a major talent with a distinctive style and voice, Scanlan argues for Némirovsky’s keen awareness of the unsettled times in which she lived and examines the ways in which even her novels of manners analyze larger social issues.

        Walks in Venice

        12 historical-artistic itineraries

        by Ernesto Maria Sfriso

        "Walks in Venice" is a detailed guide rich in historical-artistic information able to satisfy the needs of the most demanding traveller, but also the spontaneous curiosity of those who simply want to relax by immersing themselves in the particular iridescent atmospheres of light and water of this unique city.The twelve lagoon itineraries proposed by Ernesto Maria Sfriso - a writer with a long experience as a tourist guide in Venice - aim to accompany the visitor step by step in the discovery of the magnificent palaces, the splendid churches, the numerous civic or private museums and the historical monuments that follow one another along the calli and squares of each sestiere, dwelling punctually on the rich harvest of works of art that the Republic of Venice has been able to produce and welcome during its millenary history of political and commercial power.The routes also lead to the islands surrounding Venice - Murano, Burano, Torcello, the Lido, but also to the smaller convents and cultural centres - to then move inland through Mestre and on to visit the stately homes along the route to Treviso, the beautiful Venetian villas that are reflected in the waters of the Riviera del Brenta, and finally the airy streets of Chioggia.

        by Rosie Whitehouse

        The only in-depth guide to Liguria, a mountainous region of dizzy passes and breath-taking views where mountains plunge down into the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean. Liguria will leave you awestruck by its beauty. The narrow strip of coast includes the gems of the world famous Italian Riviera, the great port city of Genoa, the glitzy resort of Portofino and the charms of the Cinque Terre. Yet in the hinterland there are many beautiful villages and mountain walks that have yet to be discovered by tourists. The walks vary in difficulty so are accessible to all. Many of the walks and cycle routes featured in the book are through beautiful wilderness._x000D_ _x000D_ Unlike other guides to the region, Liguria includes a detailed description of the mountains and their hilltop villages. With a strong regional identity all of its own, Liguria is almost a country within a country. The spectacular scenery, the mediaeval towns, quaint fishing ports and the wonderful food have attracted some of the world's most famous writers among them Byron, Mary and Percy Shelley, Henry James, Dickens, Maupassant, D H Lawrence, Virginia Woolf and Dylan Thomas. Tourists flock to the Cinque Terre and Portofino but many of the other resorts have few foreign visitors so Liguria has the best of both world's to offer the visitor the big names on the Mediterranean destination list and mountain villages and small fishing ports which are almost exclusively Italian. _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_

        Hungry Generations

        A Novel

        by Daniel C. Melnick

        At the center of “Hungry Generations” is the great European piano virtuoso Alexander Petrov, one of the émigré geniuses who lived in the incredible community of gifted Europeans in Los Angeles during the Second World War. Fleeing from Nazi Germany, the legendary classical pianist – like Schoenberg, Stravinsky, the Werfels, and the Manns – settled in L.A. and attempted to raise a family there on the edge of the Pacific. In September of 1972, Jack Weinstein – a young composer and a distant relation of Petrov – is newly arrived in L.A., living near Venice beach and seeking a job in the movie studios. Jack develops a friendship with the émigré virtuoso, who is nearing seventy and struggling to maintain his psychic and physical health in the midst of intense conflicts with his wife and his adult children. The renowned pianist tells the young man stories of his life from the thirties to the present, and soon Jack is absorbed into the family life of the Petrovs. Jack becomes a catalyst for confrontations among the Petrovs, as he intrudes on the family’s delicate balances. He falls in love with the pianist’s daughter, Sarah, who becomes Jack’s troubled muse, and in one climax, the father erupts in jealousy and desperation, assaulting his daughter’s lover. The son Joseph Petrov is a gifted, cynical, intense pianist himself, who also befriends Jack; resentments – new and old – build between son and father, and these too erupt in destruction and self-destructiveness. Also, Joseph is gay, and after a surreal New Year’s Eve party at the Polo Lounge, he makes a pass at drunk, dismayed Jack. Then there is Petrov’s wife, Helen, and her confession to Jack is one of the final assaults on the young composer. The remarkable expatriates living in Los Angeles during World War II figure both in Petrov’s stories and in Jack’s inner struggle to resurrect himself in the face of his experience of the Petrovs, of music, of sex, of the movie studios, of L.A. itself. During the year 1972-73, Jack composes a piano sonata infused with his love of Petrov’s famed recording of Beethoven’s Hammerklavier Sonata as well as the music of Stravinsky and Schoenberg – those composers even begin to enter Jack’s dreams, simultaneously blessing and critiquing him as he works in his Venice apartment. Hungry Generations paints a vivid portrait of the conflicts and struggles which erupt in L.A.’s singular expatriate community. At the center of the novel is finally the confrontation between émigré parents who survived the Holocaust at the peculiar remove of Los Angeles and their grown children. Each “hungry generations” reveals its yearning for meaning, love, and transcendence.

        Gelato! Gelato!

        by Massimo Bertonasco and Larissa Bertonasco

        As a little boy, Massimo Bertonasco not only loved ice cream, because his nonna had a latteria on the Ligurian coast, where she sold ice cream that her son Hugo made. But Massimo also loved to learn all the tricks and secrets from his uncle Hugo in order to make the best ice cream. And he has followed in their footsteps and opened his first ice cream parlour in Amsterdam in the year 2017. From the first weekend on people were queuing up for his delicious ice cream creations. And in the summer of 2020 the star gelato maker opened his third branch in Amsterdam.   Two things are very important to him, firstly the Italian sealed stainless-steel cylinders containing the ice. "Ice cream is very fragile and unstable, just like us humans." The hygienc water-cooled cylinders maintain the quality and ensure a minimum temperature shock when the lid is removed. Secondly fresh ingredients are most important. For instance, the organic milk comes from one especially selected farm only, the chocolate is directly from Venezuela, the lemons and pistachios are from Sicily – and of course he roasts these pistachios and all of the nuts himself.   From the enormous list of ice creams and sorbets, Massimo Bertonasco presents the most popular in Gelato! Gelato! All of which can be easily prepared at home. The recipes are accompanied by warm hearted memories and anecdotes from his family. And his niece, the artist Larissa, captures the colourful range of flavours with her sensual illustrations and makes you long not only for the mouth making ice creams, but also for Italy.
