September 1999Salome
Tragödie in einem Akt
by Oscar Wilde, Marcus Behmer, Hedwig Lachmann
Oscar (Fingal O’Flahertie Wills) Wilde wurde am 16. Oktober 1854 in Dublin als Sohn des Arztes William Wilde und der Dichterin Jane Francesca Elgee geboren. Er studierte klassische Literatur am Trinity College in Dublin und am Magdalen College in Oxford. 1879 ging er nach London, wo er sich bald durch seinen extravaganten Lebensstil und seine rhetorische Gewandtheit einen Namen machte. Nach Reisen in die USA, nach Kanada und Frankreich arbeitete Wilde zunächst für verschiedene Zeitungen als Lektor und Herausgeber. Seit 1884 mit Constance Lloyd verheiratet, schrieb und veröffentlichte er 1888 für seine eigenen Kinder die Märchensammlung The Happy Prince and Other Tales. In den folgenden Jahren entstanden weitere Erzählungen (wie The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1891) und zahlreiche Bühnenstücke (wie The Importance of Being Earnest, 1895), die außerordentliches literarisches und gesellschaftliches Aufsehen erregten. Auf dem Höhepunkt seines Erfolges stürzte ihn dann jedoch der Skandal um das langjährige Verhältnis mit Lord Alfred Douglas in den Ruin. Wilde verlor eine Verleumdungsklage gegen Douglas Vater, der ihn der Sodomie bezichtigt hatte, und wurde selbst in einem Strafprozeß wegen Unzucht zu einer zweijährigen Haftstrafe verurteilt. Nach seiner Entlassung aus dem Gefängnis in Reading floh er vor der gesellschaftlichen Ächtung unter falschem Namen nach Paris. Völlig mittellos starb er hier am 30. November 1900. Hedwig Lachmann, geboren 1865 in Stolp und verstorben 1918 in Krumbach, war eine deutsche Schriftstellerin und Übersetzerin.

Bloodlust
by Mervin Malonzo (author and illustrator)
Tabi Po tells the story of Elias, a neophyte aswang (flesh-eating humanoid creature). Born from a tree during the country’s Spanish era, Elias embarks on a journey with two older aswangs in the quest to understand their true nature. Along the way, Elias meets Salome, a sex slave of the friars, and falls for her. In the middle of a rising revolution, Elias is forced to face his own battles– his love for Salome and her pursuit of vengeance versus his hunger for flesh, the growing rift between himself and his two aswang mentors, the society’s stigma with their kind, and the battle with his own inner demons.

August 2015Scharlachnatter
Gedichte
by Robert Schindel
Nach sieben Jahren, in denen er neben einem Essayband über jüdische Leit- und Leidensmotive seinen zweiten großen Roman, Der Kalte (2013), publizierte, kehrt Robert Schindel mit einem lyrischen Buch zurück in seine »Herzzone«: Liebesgedichte, poetologische und sprachreflexive Gedichte, Existenzialgedichte, Naturgedichte. Scharlachnatter (eine Wortfindung aus Oscar Wildes Salome) versammelt sowohl ausgreifende Poeme von großem Atem wie gnomisch verdichtete Verse. Es sind Zungengeburten, kunstvoll zur Welt gebracht und von zwiegeschlechtlichem Wesen: erotisch-musikalisch und durchsetzt von bitterer Lebenslust, geistesgegenwärtig und doch gedankenvoll, müde und schlaflos, hinhörend und stürmisch, bewölkt und immer auch sonnenklar – um nur einige der Gegensätze zu nennen, zwischen denen der Dichter ruhelos und rühmend seine Bahnen zieht, bis vielleicht nur noch das »Echo eines Trillers« vernehmbar ist. Eines allerdings mag diese Dichtung so ganz und gar nicht: den allgemeinen Wortgebrauch. Lieber und stets sucht sie »das Wort in welchem was sei«.

PhilosophyOctober 2013Friedrich Nietzsche in seinen Werken
by Andreas/Salomé, Lou
‘If it is even the task of the biographer to explain the thinker through the person, then this is applicable to Nietzsche in an unusually large measure, because in no one else do outside mindwork and inner image of life correspond so completely.’(Lou Andreas/Salomé) According to Anna Freud, Sigmund Freud’s daughter, Andreas/Salomé preempts psychoanalysis with this book about Nietzsche. Based on her extensive knowledge of the texts and her intimate personal experiences with Nietzsche, Lou Andreas/Salomé undertakes to decode the thinker and philosopher through his personality. She achieves a completely novel depiction of his character, his metamorphoses and his psyche. Lou Andreas/Salomé is one of the most popular writers, essayists and psychoanalysts. Her personal relations to Friedrich Nietzsche, Rainer Maria Rilke and Sigmund Freud are still objects of animated research and discussion.

Children's & YAMay 2019I just wanted to be free
by Claire Gratias
Why did 16-year-old Manon, who has a reputation for exemplary behavior, run away from her house one June evening? Why did her mother wait so long before reporting her missing? Why hasn't her best friend Salome heard from her? And why doesn't Valentin want to reveal how far he has agreed to go in the name of love for Manon? If everyone shared what they knew, perhaps we would finally unravel the mystery of this strange disappearance and a young girl who just dreamed of being completely free to be herself.

Humanities & Social SciencesMoses, the man
by Freud (Thomas Gindele, Michel Fagard)
Freud was known for destroying the manuscripts of all his published books. For unindentified reasons, he preserved L’Homme Moïse, a novel retracing the birth of judaism, which is the first version of his testamentary work, written in 1934 and published in 1939, under the title Moïse et le monothéisme. In October 1934, in a letter addressed to Max Eitingon, he wrote: “Part of this text inflicts serious offenses on Jewish sentiment, another on Christian sentiment, two things which are better to avoid in our time.” He confided later on to Lou Andreas-Salome, on the same topic : “This problem has haunted me all my life. » By preserving this manuscript, which has never been published, Freud had probably in mind to leave traces of the complex construction of this text, of which he was so fond of and which he published at a time when Nazism was spreading throughout Europe. Thomas Gindele and Michel Fagard, teachers of German at Henri IV High School, found this manuscript at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., transcribed and translated it. Their translation is followed by a commentary by Thomas Gindele on the development of the work.

Literary FictionVrijeme laži/Time of Lies
by Sibila Petlevski
Time of Lies (Vrijeme laži), the first part of the trilogy entitled Taboo, is a novel about Viktor Tausk, one of the most interesting personalities of Croatian Literary Modernism. Through the destiny of that forgotten writer, lawyer and psychoanalyst, who was among other things a friend of Sigmund Freud and a lover of Lou Salomé, the femme fatale of Viennese fin de siècle, Sibila Petlevski will spin an exciting trilogy interlacing the present time and the beginning of the twentieth century, the First World War, spy secrets, sexuality and feminism issues, all the questions raised by Viennese Modernism which remain to be crucial for the understanding of the contemporary man. In an intriguing way, through the character of the authoress and her friend Tvrtko, who are interested in Tausk, Time of Lies introduces us into the trilogy and the dramatic twentieth century. In the first part of Taboo, Sibila Petlevski sets the coordinates, but she also brings to life all the dramatic quality and the unique gallery of both real and invented characters who strongly mark the tragedy of the intellectual Viktor Tausk. The trilogy Taboo is dedicated to the brave, to those who do not accept to live in the time of lies; to the people who are not afraid of freedom.

False Tongues
by Kate Charles
Callie Anson should have learned her lesson by now: revisiting the past is seldom a good idea. But she succumbs to peer pressure and attends a reunion at her theological college in Cambridge, where she is forced to confront painful memories - and the presence of her clueless ex, Adam. Margaret Phillips, the Principal of the college, has a chance for happiness but before she can grasp it she has to deal with her own ghosts - as well as corrosive, intrusive gossip. Both women learn something about themselves, and about forgiveness, from the wise John Kingsley. Meanwhile, in London, police officers Neville Stewart and Mark Lombardi are involved with the latest fatal stabbing of a teenager. Was gifted, popular Sebastian Frost all he seemed to be, or was there something in his life that led inevitably to his death? They're plunged into the queasy world of cyber-bullying, where nothing may be as it seems. While they're apart, Callie and Mark's relationship is on hold, and his Italian family continues to be an issue. Will Marco realise, before it's too late, that while his family will always be important to him, he is entitled to something for himself?

by Malcolm McKay

It is the story of a group of international travellers who walk the Camino de Santiago, the ancient eight hundred kilometre pilgrimage from the Pyrenees to the remains of the apostle Saint James in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostella in Northern Spain.

They include a sexobsessed British ex army captain, a beautiful Danish businesswoman, a manic Austrian architect, A Welsh painter, a driven American priest and a comic duo, mother and daughter from Canada. The thirtyfive day walk is tough and demanding, They relate intellectually, spiritually and sexually, as they search for their own deep and personal truths which are not always what they expect or want to find. The climax is a terrible and shocking death which changes their view of themselves forever as they arrive in the holy city.
