        Mit der Reife wird man immer jünger

        Betrachtungen und Gedichte über das Alter

        by Hermann Hesse, Volker Michels, Martin Hesse, Volker Michels

        Hesse gehört zu den Autoren, die das Glück hatten, alt zu werden und alle Lebensstufen auf charakteristische Weise erfahren und darstellen zu können. Zu den schönsten dieser Schilderungen gehören seine Betrachtungen über das Alter, über die Lebensjahre, wo Wirklichkeit und Umwelt eine spielerische Surrealität gewinnen, wo die Erinnerung an die Vergangenheit im Verhältnis zur Gegenwart an Realität zunimmt.

        Das vollkommene Alter

        Roman

        by Roberto Cotroneo, Karin Krieger

        Roberto Cotroneos dritter Roman ist mehr als die Schilderung einer verbotenen Liebe zwischen einem Lehrer und seiner Schülerin. Der Protagonist ist ein »Mann ohne Eigenschaften«, der eine Geschichte erlebt, die größer ist als er selbst. »Denn Liebe ist stark wie der Tod und Leidenschaft unwiderstehlich wie das Totenreich.« Sind Bibelworte wie diese wirklich dazu angetan, eine brave Kirchengemeinde keusch an ihren seelischen Bund mit Gott denken zu lassen? Und sind die Pforten der Hölle nicht sehr nah, wenn man außerdem die kräftigen Zeilen entdeckt: »Dein Schoß ist wie ein runder Becher, dem es nimmer an Saft mangelt«? Nach seiner Ankunft in Sizilien gibt ein junger Lehrer ein Zeitungsinserat auf, mit zwei Zeilen aus dem Hohenlied als Erkennungszeichen für Francesca. Doch in seiner Unterrichtsklasse sitzt deren jüngere Schwester, Nunzia, eben sechzehnjährig. Vom spröden Charme des Mädchens betört – sie ist dunkel wie Sulamith -, beginnt er, ihr das Hohelied vorzulesen, und diese Art der Verführung findet ihre Erfüllung schon bald in den Gemächern des Palazzos. Ein Skandal in der sizilianischen Provinzstadt im Jahr 1959, zu deren Alltag die Moralgesetze der Kirche ebenso gehören wie die immer wieder siegreichen fleischlichen Versuchungen unter einer südlichen Sonne. Ausgerechnet die heiligen Worte des Hohenliedes dienen der Verführung einer Minderjährigen und verwandeln Nunzia in eine Frau, bei deren Anblick die ganze Stadt den Atem anhält. Der Franziskanermönch, dem Nunzia ohne Reue gebeichtet hatte, predigt leidenschaftlich über die religiöse Bedeutung des Hohenliedes. Für ihn versinnbildlicht der Satz »Da bin ich geworden in seinen Augen wie eine, die das vollkommene Alter hat« keineswegs den Körper einer jungen Frau in voller Blüte, sondern den Bund Gottes mit der menschlichen Seele. Die Versetzung des jungen Lehrers ist unausweichlich.

        Vom Wert des Alters

        Mit Fotografien des Dichters von Martin Hesse

        by Hermann Hesse, Volker Michels, Martin Hesse, Volker Michels

        Hermann Hesse gehört zu den Autoren, die das Glück hatten, alt zu werden und alle Lebensstufen erfahren und darstellen zu können. Zu den schönsten seiner Schilderungen gehören Hesses Äußerungen über die letzten Jahre des Lebens, in denen »die Wirklichkeit eine spielerische Surrealität gewinnt und die Vergangenheit im Verhältnis zur Gegenwart an Realität zunimmt«. Als Ausgleich zu den körperlichen Gebrechen rühmt er »den Schatz an Bildern, die man nach einem langen Leben im Gedächtnis trägt und denen man sich mit dem Schwinden der Aktivität mit ganz anderer Teilnahme zuwendet als je zuvor. Menschen, die uns bereits verlassen haben, leben in uns weiter, leisten uns Gesellschaft und blicken uns aus lebendigen Augen an.«

        Chang Yu figure painting

        by Chang Yu

        In the modern Chinese painting circle, Chang Yu is a leader, once alternately refreshing the Chinese oil painting auction record. Painter Chang Yu has had ups and downs throughout her life, and insists on going her own way in art. He is recognized in the West as a world-class painter, a Chinese Modigliani, a painter who creates freely for his artistic beliefs and makes remarkable achievements. Chang Yu turned from the most familiar Chinese art to another brand new western art field, and constantly explored and pursued on the basis of Chinese painting, finally achieving Chang Yu's special painting style of simplicity and fluency. Chang Yu is an indelible Oriental pearl. Few books of Chang Yu are published in China. We popularize such art and publicize Chang Yu's achievements in the history of Chinese art in the 20th century.The series consists of 3 books. This book is a collection of Chang Yu's figure painting works, which contains more than 60 of his important and iconic figure works. Chang Yu's female body works are different from the expression Angle of nude paintings, and he uses the whole body outline of a naked woman to express the scenery in his mind. There are not many slim naked women in Chang Yu's works, but mostly plump and fat women. Quite the author "do not talk to people, alone in the dark" self-pity mode.

        Community-based Control of Invasive Species

        by Paul Martin, Theodore R. Alter, Donald W. Hine, Tanya M. Howard

        Invasive species are among the greatest challenges to environmental sustainability and agricultural productivity in the world. One of the most promising approaches to managing invasive species is voluntary citizen stewardship. However, in order for control measures to be effective, private citizens often need to make sustained and sometimes burdensome commitments. Community-Based Control of Invasive Species is based on five years of research by leading scholars in natural resource and human behavioural sciences, which involved government and citizen groups in Australia and the United States. It examines questions including, 'how can citizens be engaged in voluntarily managing invasive species?', 'what communication strategies will ensure good motivation and coordination?' and 'how can governing bodies support citizens in their efforts?'. With chapters on institutional frameworks, changing governance, systems thinking, organisational learning, engagement, communication and behavioural change, this book will be a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners involved in natural resources management.
