      by Halyna Vdovychenko (Author), Khrystyna Lukashcuk (Illustrator)

      The Owl Who Wanted To Become a Lark tells the story of two birds and their sleeping habits. Each of them has their own lifestyle, one nocturnal, one diurnal. But what would happen if one day owls were to hunt in the morning, and larks were to sing at night? How would they adapt to each other? And would the different lifestyles become a threat to their friendship? This book demonstrates that we are all different but equally beautiful. A lark is no better than an owl, and vice versa; differences like these are not an obstacle to a true friendship. From 3 to 8 years, 1757 words Rightsholders: booksxxi@gmail.com

      Wildly different

      How five women reclaimed nature in a man’s world

      by Sarah Lonsdale

      The globe-trotting tales of five women who fought for the right to enjoy the wild places of the earth. For millennia the 'wild' was a place heroic men went on epic quests. Women were prevented from joining them, either through physical control or powerful myths about what would happen if they ventured beyond the city wall or village boundary. So how did women claim their place in the remote and lovely parts of our planet? In Wildly different, historian Sarah Lonsdale traces the lives of five women who fought for the right to work in, enjoy and help to save the earth's wild places. We'll meet Mina Hubbard, who outraged the exploration community when she stepped into a canoe in northern Labrador. Evelyn Cheesman, who became the first female keeper of insects at London Zoo. Dorothy Pilley, who shocked polite society by donning men's climbing breeches. Ethel Haythornthwaite, who helped make the Peak District Britain's first National Park. And Wangari Maathai, who started a movement to plant millions of trees across sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on interviews with Sir David Attenborough, Wangari Maathai's daughter and others, Lonsdale recounts the women's adventures across five continents. Evocative and inspiring, this book shows how women can be 'wildly different'.

      Bildnis einer Dame

      Roman

      by Henry James, Hildegard Blomeyer, Helmut M. Braem, Henry James

      Bildnis einer Dame (The Portrait of a Lady) ist die Geschichte der jungen Amerikanerin Isabel Archer, die nach dem Tod ihres Vaters zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben nach Europa kommt und mit ihrem Charme, ihrem Wissensdurst und ihrer selbstbewußten Offenheit die Sympathie ihrer Verwandten dort erringt. Sie wird zur Haupterbin ihres Onkels. Doch obwohl ihr ihre Unabhängigkeit zunächst über alles geht, heiratet sie schließlich und merkt zu spät, daß sie einer Intrige zum Opfer gefallen ist. Dabei wird kein Herz gebrochen, kein Schurke triumphiert. Isabel Archer kommt zur Einsicht, reift an ihrem Irrtum und wird, ständig sich besinnend, schließlich zu jenem Bildnis einer Dame, deren Gesicht Züge des Leidens und der Erfahrung trägt und dessen Schönheit nicht nur an der Oberfläche haftet. Dieses Gesicht ist bedeutend geworden. James gelingt es meisterhaft, des Lesers Anteilnahme am Schicksal der Protagonistin, die Neugier am weiteren Verlauf ihres Lebens zu wecken. Ein Meisterwerk. Die Verfilmung von Jane Campion mit Nicole Kidman in der Titelrolle war 1996 ein großer Erfolg in den Kinos.

      Blue Bird Short Story Collection

      Blue Bird Short Story Collection

      by Li Jingze

      Blue Bird Short Story Collection is a collection of proses and reviews, a verification and analysis of history and also an imaginary fction. Li Jingze explored into the historical texts like an archaeologist, collecting their traces and fragments and composed a picture of China’s complicated past. He looked for people hidden in history who bridged communications between Eastern and Western civilizations. With “Sinking, dragon Saliva and roses”, he draws our eyes to the ancient past; we are likely to be fascinated with “silver trees in Buxie district” or go on a long journey with “Eight Beats of Ganzhou Song” in our mind; most probably, we would pay attention to Matteo Ricci, the Christian missionary. In imagination, the past things vividly present themselves before our eyes and the ancient people fly across like blue birds, their routes and gestures deeply engraved in our minds.
