        Ein fauler Gott

        by Stephan Lohse

        Sommer 1972. Benjamin ist vor einigen Wochen elf geworden. Im nächsten Schuljahr wird er ein Herrenrad bekommen, eine Freundin und vielleicht eine tiefe Stimme. Doch dann stirbt sein kleiner Bruder Jonas. Nachts sitzt Bens Mutter auf einer Heizdecke und weint. Ben kommt nun extra pünktlich nach Hause, er spielt ihr auf der C-Flöte vor und unterhält sich mit ihr über den Archäopteryx. An Jonas denkt er immer seltener. Ben hat mit dem Leben zu tun, er muss für das Fußballtor wachsen, sein bester Freund erklärt ihm die Eierstöcke, und sein erster Kuss schmeckt nach Regenwurm. Mit seiner neuen Armbanduhr berechnet er die Zeit. Voller Empathie und mit anrührender Komik erzählt Stephan Lohse in seinem Debütroman vom Aufwachsen Anfang der Siebzigerjahre, von Teenagernöten und dem Trost der Freundschaft. Vor allem aber erzählt er vom Mut und dem Einfallsreichtum eines Kindes, das seine Mutter das Trauern lehrt und ihr zeigt, dass das Glück, am Leben zu sein, auch noch dem größten Schmerz standhält.

        Ideas of poverty in the Age of Enlightenment

        by Niall O’Flaherty, Robin Mills

        This collection of essays examines the ways in which poverty was conceptualised in the social, political, and religious discourses of eighteenth-century Europe. It brings together experts with a wide range of expertise to offer pathbreaking discussions of how eighteenth-century thinkers thought about the poor. Because the theme of poverty played important roles in many critical issues in European history, it was central to some of the key debates in Enlightenment political thought throughout the period, including the controversies about sovereignty and representation, public and private charity, as well as questions relating to crime and punishment. The book examines some of the most important contributions to these debates, while also ranging beyond the canonical Enlightenment thinkers, to investigate how poverty was conceptualised in the wider intellectual culture, as politicians, administrators and pamphlet writers grappled with the issue.
