        Die Umsiedler. Alexander

        Zwei Prosastudien

        by Arno Schmidt

        Die Umsiedler geraten in den Wirren der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit aus Niedersachsen ins rheinhessische Alzey. Auf der beschwerlichen Bahnfahrt nach Süden kommen sich der bücherversessene Erzähler und eine junge Witwe näher. Diese zarte Liebesgeschichte, zwischen Koffern und Kisten mit letzten Habseligkeiten, führt zwei Menschen zusammen, die von Krieg und Vertreibung gezeichnet wurden und die dennoch versuchen, sich gemeinsam ein neues Leben aufzubauen, auch wenn es ihnen die Einheimischen nicht leicht machen. Alexander oder Was ist Wahrheit? erzählt in kaum verhüllender antiker Camouflage von der ideologischen Verblendung, die zu blinder Gefolgschaft führt und von der Korrumpierbarkeit durch politische Macht.

        Secret Shakespeare

        Studies in theatre, religion and resistance

        by Richard Wilson

        Shakespeare's Catholic context was the most important literary discovery of the last century. No biography of the Bard is now complete without chapters on the paranoia and persecution in which he was educated, or the treason which engulfed his family. Whether to suffer outrageous fortune or take up arms in suicidal resistance was, as Hamlet says, 'the question' that fired Shakespeare's stage. In 'Secret Shakespeare' Richard Wilson asks why the dramatist remained so enigmatic about his own beliefs, and so silent on the atrocities he survived. Shakespeare constructed a drama not of discovery, like his rivals, but of darkness, deferral, evasion and disguise, where, for all his hopes of a 'golden time' of future toleration, 'What's to come' is always unsure. Whether or not 'He died a papist', it is because we can never 'pluck out the heart' of his mystery that Shakespeare's plays retain their unique potential to resist. This is a fascinating work, which will be essential reading for all scholars of Shakespeare and Renaissance studies. ;

        Alejandra Ángeles' first novel, "Casta Diva," also published by Fondo Blanco in 2023, is set in Mexico City and tells the story of two young women, Ágata and Catalina, who share the same dream: to become opera singers.

Her questioning also touches Catalina, who senses the answer and plans the journey. Ágata has the voice, but not the character. Catalina, on the other hand, has the voice, the character, and the cunning to navigate the challenging operatic environment. Ágata comes from a small family background, while Catalina... Catalina brings the music, which will become an accomplice and intertwine their lives. Choruses, cantatas, zarzuelas, and operas will stage the situations they must face behind the scenes to secure a place at the Opera of Bellas Artes, and with it, the opportunity for something much greater.

        Autistic Masking

        Understanding Identity Management and the Role of Stigma

        by Amy Pearson and Kieran Rose

        Masking is a form of identity management involving consciously or unconsciously suppressing aspects of identity and action. Often seen in socially marginalised groups, it is found to contribute towards poorer outcomes for autistic people, and is related to higher prevalence of suicidality, exhaustion and burnout, and mental health difficulties. Autistic Masking offers a holistic understanding of the most up-to-date evidence in this field, with the aim of developing solid knowledge and practice in health, education and society.Written to be accessible to everyday readers with an interest in autism as well as academics and professionals, the book deconstructs the predominant misconception that masking is purely a social strategy to ‘blend in’ with neurotypical (non-autistic) people. The authors consider the social context that facilitates impression management, including an individual’s response to stigma or trauma, and take an intersectional approach to exploring how autistic identity may interact with other aspects of selfhood.
