October 2016Endlose Nacht
Träume im Jahrhundert der Gewalt
by Barbara Hahn
Mithilfe von Träumen skizziert Barbara Hahns großer Essay eine Unheilsgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ihre Untersuchung widmet sich Träumen, die eine Welt aus Verfolgung, Not, Zwang und Leiden erschreckend direkt vorwegnehmen, schildern, in Bilder fassen. Sowie Berichten von Überlebenden, die in einer dauerhaft beschädigten Realität weiterexistieren – denen Wirklichkeit nur mehr ein Schatten ist – die nur in den Träumen toter Anderer sich noch ‚am Leben‘ wähnen. Im 20. Jahrhundert haben sich Traumaufzeichnungen als eine eigene literarische Gattung etabliert – durch eine Fülle (oft entlegener) Veröffentlichungen. Nachforschend, aufstöbernd, einkreisend, ebenso sorgsam wie behende führt die Autorin durch diesen bislang wenig erschlossenen Kosmos. Es treten Anna Achmatowa, Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Charlotte Beradt, Jean Cayrol, Hélène Cixous, Franz Fühmann, Graham Greene, Wieland Herzfelde, Otto Dov Kulka, Primo Levi, Paula Ludwig, Elsa Morante, Heiner Müller, Georges Perec, Jorge Semprún, Vercors, Marguerite Yourcenar und viele andere auf.

August 1995Geographie der Lust
Roman
by Jürg Federspiel
Superlative an Lob spendierte die Kritik der »Geographie der Lust«: »geistvolle Erotik«, »himmlisch-schwerelos«, »mal absurd, mal märchenhaft«, »ein erstklassiger, ungetrübter Lesespaß« und: »Federspiel, ein wahrer Magier der Feder ... Federspiel at his best« (»Bündner Tagblatt«). Legenden sind selten erotisch, manchmal erbaulich- aber immer wunderbar: In »Geographie der Lust«, seiner bislang umfangreichsten Prosa, erzählt Jürg Federspiel eine märchenhafte Legende voller fabelhafter Erotik. Er erweist sich als unbändig verspielter Fabulierer, der mit seiner sinnlichen und kraftvoll zupackenden Sprache in absurd-monströse Szenerien entführt, aber zugleich auch den Tonfall des »Es war einmal ...« anschlägt, leise und voller Poesie. Federspiels Geschichte beginnt damit, daß sich Primo Antonio Robusti, ein »mächtiger Mann« aus Mailand, zu seinem siebzigsten Geburtstag nicht nur in den eigenen Reichtum verliebt, sondern kurz darauf auch in ein neunzehnjähriges, kokett-naives Geschöpf namens Laura Granati. Und so nimmt Robustis Schicksal »eine scharfe Wende« ...

FictionThe Countess and the Organ Player
by Cesia Hirshbein
In the historical context of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the height of the Romantic era, the 19th century, Anton Bruckner, the famous Austrian composer and organist, falls in love with the imposing Countess Henriette. She had been appointed lady-in-waiting to Princess Charlotte of Belgium, the wife of Prince Maximilian of Habsburg, to attend to her during the couple's Mexican endeavor. They had been named Emperor and Empress of Mexico and would embark on a journey to America for this mission. Bruckner meets the countess by chance at the funeral of Maximilian, who had been assassinated in Querétaro in 1867, during the so-called Second Mexican Empire. On the recommendation of a musician friend of Henriette's, who sees him at the funeral, she takes piano lessons with Bruckner. When she tells him that she had accompanied the empress to Mexico, the composer becomes enchanted. He admired Maximilian and was passionate about Mexico; he had even wanted to accompany the emperor. Ultimately, the only trips he made were to give organ concerts in London and another at Notre Dame in Paris. Between classes, the countess tells him of the Atlantic crossing, the arrival in Veracruz, and the entrance to Mexico City. Gradually, they grow closer. In one of his concerts, Bruckner meets Franz Liszt, who was a patron of Maximilian's empire in Mexico. Meanwhile, the countess and the organist plan a Requiem, which will be the turning point between them.

She struggles to find help and treatment from doctors, until the combination of finding the right physician, and an iron will to overcome adversity through meditation and non traditional healing, puts her back on the road to full health. As the author says in her own words: "I wrote this book with a single purpose in mind: make it into a song of hope for anybody who is ill and feels defeated by pain, and have lost the will to live." This book is not about illness, is about recovery and new beginnings

Fiction
Andreaa Constantin
by Esteban Torres Lana
A dangerous challenge at sea through a rock arch battered by strong waves. She ends up seriously injured in a leg when her friend Aurelio arrives at the cove. Overcoming her pain, she hides her injuries from Aurelio and tells him the extraordinary story of her mother, which propelled her to undertake such a madness. The story begins 6 years ago in Tenerife, with Nayra's expulsion from Philosophy class for the third time in a week, causing Pablo, her father, to pick her up from school and embark on a long day of disputes, confessions, and finally, complicities between them. Walking around Santa Cruz, canceling classes and professional commitments, Pablo and Nayra spend the day discovering a personal and sentimental reality that surprises them. The problems Nayra mentions with a group of immigrant classmates, along with the aggression Nayra shows towards her mother, Lola, prompt Pablo to tell her the unfinished story with Andreea, a high-class Romanian prostitute. Pablo cannot control the level of intimacy of the tale despite his own amazement, hearing himself say things he thought were unspeakable. Nayra responds, between disputes and affection, interspersing her own confidences, some of them having a strong impact, like the adventure with an immigrant who arrived on the beaches of Fuerteventura during a summer excursion. Neither tells the most intimate details of their stories truthfully, but they are accessible to the reader. Despite frequent arguments due to the teenager's incisive and groundbreaking language, their complicity grows and they end up spending the day together, walking through different places in the city. The story with Andreea takes on dramatic tones that completely captivate the young woman. Two suicides, the chase by Romanian mafia, returning to her hometown, searching for Pablo, Andreea’s struggle to regain her dignity and her artistic capacity through painting, and the apparent disappearance of her father's life, capture Nayra’s attention. Despite the narrative tricks used by Pablo, when night falls and they reach home, Nayra connects the dots and is surprised to discover that her perfectionist and successful mother, a recognized painter from Santa Cruz, with whom she has had a very conflictive season, is Andreea Constantin, the Romanian immigrant her father met as a high-class prostitute. After an initial reaction of rejection due to the ignorance in which she was kept, she understands her mother's situation. All the questions she always had about many details of her life arise with the discovery. A few years after discovering her identity, Andreea disappears from home. A call from Romania alerts them to the discovery of two charred bodies near her birthplace and the presence of her old exploiter nearby, who cursed her for life through a Transylvania ritual when she abandoned prostitution. Knowing she was discovered in Tenerife, Andreea tried to keep her family away from danger and returned to her country, where she was easy prey for the mafia. Pablo and his daughter Nayra fly to Bucharest to identify Andreea’s body, which may have been brutally murdered and burned. When it seems the identification will be negative, a small detail of the clothing makes them doubt. Desolate, they receive medical and psychological support from the Romanian team, but it turns out to be a false lead. Andreea is rescued from a hideout and has survived due to a misunderstanding by her captors. Protected by the Romanian police, she later becomes a key witness whose testimony ends the dangerous band of her pimp. But that bravery comes at a price; 2 years later, she does not return from an art exhibition in Paris. The police believe that her exploiter’s curse was fulfilled by a nephew who visited him in prison shortly before his death and was seen in Paris during the days Andreea had the exhibition. After a year of anguish, Nayra can no longer bear the situation and decides to mourn her mother at the cove where she painted her last picture. It had as its background the rock arch symbolizing the risk of living and facing life’s challenges. Nayra considers her mother lost and throws Andreea’s ashes into the sea, symbolized by those of a magnolia branch she planted many years ago. With this, she internalizes the loss and the fighting values Andreea taught her. The exit from the volcanic cove is a song to the life that continues and to the young woman who represents it. The novel is dedicated to the memory of Andreea Constantin and the thousands of women sexually exploited around the world.

The European or Mediterranean cultivated olive (Olea europaea L., subsp. europaea, var. europaea) is one of the most ancient cultivated fruit tree crops. Today, hundreds of olive varieties are grown to produce high-quality fruit for oil and for table olives consumption. The olive industry has undergone profound innovations in the past 30 years, due to scientific and technical advances, particularly in genomics, breeding, orchard management, mechanization and agro-ecology, although not all these developments are yet available to smaller producers. Olive cultivation has also spread to many countries outside the Mediterranean Basin, where it ihas been traditionally present for over 6,000 years. These new olive-growing countries are experiencing further expansion of the industry, due to increased awareness of the nutritional and health properties of extra virgin olive oil. This book is a much-needed update on olive biology and cultivation, with contributions from leading international experts, and includes: Biology Genetics and breeding Olive propagation and nursery Planting new olive orchards Horticultural management of olive orchards Plant protection Olive by-products (wood, leaves) Multifunctionality of olive groves and ecosystem services The Olive: Botany and Production is invaluable for researchers and students in horticulture and agriculture, as well as producers involved in olive orchard management.
