Werke 6: Die Stücke 4. Bearbeitungen für Theater, Film und Rundfunk
by Heiner Müller, Frank Hörnigk, Kristin Schulz, Christian Hippe, Ludwig Haugk, Ingo Way
Heiner Müllers Theaterarbeit hat immer auch die Auseinandersetzung mit vorliegenden Stücken anderer Autoren eingeschlossen, die er als Material betrachtete, um aktuelle Fragen vor großer Folie zu diskutieren. Außerdem enthält dieser Band die wesentlichen Gemeinschaftsarbeiten mit Robert Wilson. Besonders in seinen frühen Jahren als Autor bearbeitete Heiner Müller literarische Stoffe für den Rundfunk, sicher nicht zuletzt aus pekuniären Gründen, aber dennoch werden diese Hörspiele sogar manchen Kenner überraschen. Gleiches gilt für die Szenen, die nach Vorlagen für ein Fernsehspiel oder einen speziellen Anlaß geschrieben wurden und im vorliegenden Band erstmals gedruckt werden.

Sam Hanna's visual legacy
by Heather Nicholson
Sam Hanna (1903-96), a pioneering filmmaker from Burnley, Lancashire, was dubbed the 'Lowry of filmmaking' by BBC broadcaster Brian Redhead in the 1980s. The well-meant label stuck, even though it misses the variety of Hanna's remarkable output. Hanna's intimate glimpses into the lives of strangers enable us to imagine the possible stories that lie behind the images. Away from mid-century exponents of documentary filmmaking and photography, Hanna shows us humanity and a microcosm of a world in change, where his subjects are caught up in issues far beyond their grasp that we, as onlookers years later, encounter and see afresh. Written and curated by historian Heather Norris Nicholson, Round our way combines stills, essays and archive photography to document Hanna's unique visual record on film, particularly in northern England, but also further afield, during decades of profound change.

Historical fiction2022HERON’S WAY
by Do Taij Mogul
The hero’s story is told in an ancient, secret chronicle... A white falcon flew across the Eternal Blue Sky. His flight was long and beautiful, binding together the patchwork of lands; his life was full of victories and defeats. Soaring high, then falling like a stone, the falcon darted from place to place. He threaded his way from the colored Jin Empire to that of the daring Naimans; from the lands of the Karakitai Khanate to the territories of the rebellious Tangut; from the highlands of the warlike Taichuds to the floodplains of the unruly Tatars.... From north to south, from east to west, no man or beast in the world knew what the falcon was really like: how his heart ached; how fears clutched his chest; what nightmares visited his sleep; what treacherous winds lurked at every takeoff of his daily journey—a journey from nothing to everything. But as he flew, paying for his power over the world with his loneliness, the world was falling to pieces. When the falcon ceased flying, the Great Destruction came, and only the memory of the people for him kept the Mongol flame burning across the centuries—all while people went about their daily routines, and did all the unbearable and great things that give man his destiny...
