        Paradise Lost

        by John Milton

        Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. The first version, published in 1667, consisted of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout and a note on the versification. The poem concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men".

        Mein litauischer Führerschein

        Ausflüge zum Ende der Europäischen Union

        by Felix Ackermann

        Was hält Europa heute noch zusammen? Was haben die Litauer in einem Vierteljahrhundert aus ihrer neu gewonnenen Freiheit gemacht? Und wie funktioniert die Europäische Union an ihren östlichen Außengrenzen? Statt diese Fragen theoretisch zu erörtern, verlässt Felix Ackermann 2011 mit seiner Familie Berlin, um Gastwissenschaftler an einer weißrussischen Exiluniversität in der litauischen Hauptstadt Vilnius zu werden. Seine Kinder lernen Litauisch und werden zu kleinen Patrioten erzogen. Seine Frau bringt eine Tochter zur Welt, die sogleich einen litauischen Personencode erhält. Und Felix Ackermann macht endlich seinen Führerschein in einer Kleinstadt namens Utena. In Ton, Witz, Kurzweiligkeit an Steffen Möllers Viva Polonia erinnernd, erzählt der Osteuropahistoriker und Journalist Felix Ackermann vom Leben in einem Land, in dem postsowjetische Verhaltensweisen, nationale Selbstfindung und europäische Träume koexistieren. Und das durch die negative Haltung gegenüber den Flüchtlingen aus dem Nahen Osten einerseits, der Angst vor einem aggressiv erstarkenden Russland andererseits ganz neu herausgefordert wird.

        The Torture Camp on Paradise Street

        by Stanislav Aseyev

        There is a prison operating in present-day Ukraine, where horrific torture techniques are being utilized. This prison is, in reality, a concentration camp, beyond whose fencing no laws reach. Life there is lived in humiliation, fear, and uncertainty. Wounds and burn marks cover bodies that are filled with pain from broken bones and, often too, broken wills. The principal tasks here are surviving after the desire to live has forsaken you and nothing in the world depends on you any longer, preserving your sanity as you teeter on the brink of madness, and remaining a human being in conditions so inhuman that faith, forgiveness, hate, and even a torturer locking eyes with his victim become laden with manifold meanings. The journalist Stanislav Aseyev, imprisoned in this torture camp on trumped-up charges of “espionage,” wrote this frank, emotional, and probing memoir in an attempt to both survive and recover from the hell he was cast into. He offers more questions than answers in this book, as testament to the fact that the lives of those released from the prison at 3 Paradise Street will forever remain divided into “pre-” and “post-.”
