        La rosa en el viento

        by Sara Gallardo

        "The rose that is destroyed in the wind lets its petals fly in a burned light," says this hallucinatory novel by Sara Gallardo, her latest publication, an extraordinary culmination for a dazzling, always precise, always unique, always captivating body of work. In La rosa en el viento, all the characters move, embarking on journeys that are sometimes physical and sometimes emotional, but in every case, they take them far from whom they were at the beginning. Olaf, a Swedish immigrant who has escaped a terrible episode in Italy, becomes a sheep breeder in Patagonia alongside Andrei, a Russian journalist who, in turn, seeks to win over an unconquerable woman, whose story reaches us in flashes, much like that of Oo, the Indian woman bought by Andrei, or Lina, who follows Andrei south, and Olga, who two generations earlier followed Alexis the revolutionary to an America that, for these characters, is both a land of promises and forgotten dreams that never truly materialize. Kaleidoscopic, polyphonic, synthetic, and modern, La rosa en el viento brings together all of Sara Gallardo's talent for storytelling and emotional impact, and it demands that we read it again.

        Andrey Sheptytsky. Biography

        by Roman Horak

        Fourteen moments of the Passion of Christ, called stations, were recorded by human memory on the way of our salvation on Calvary. Fourteen moments of our humiliation and humiliation of our faith... How many humiliation he suffered, Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky, who felt like a Kyrenian, who helped us carry our cross, when those who called themselves leaders abandoned us, and when our language was banned. ...And the Lord took pity on us. And as a great manifestation of love for us, He sent Him, who was destined to go with us on His way to Calvary. Let's not forget: he was always a stranger among those for whom he came into this world. His conversion to his ancestors' faith was perceived ambiguously. The book is based on documentary materials, the authenticity of which has been confirmed. It creates the impression of a real epic of time and relationships. In addition to memories of the metropolitan, the testimony of the press, which recorded his every step, denunciations on him, materials of special services, protocols of interrogations, reports of employees and special agents, who have been monitoring Metropolitan Sheptytsky since 1937, were used. For a wide range of readers.

        We Will Wake Up Different

        Conversations With Contemporary Belarusian Writers About the Past, Present and Future of Belarus

        by Iia Kiva

        The collection includes ten interviews with some of today's most famous Belarusian writers: Tatyana Nyadbay, Anna Seviarynets, Alhierd Baharevich, Mariya Martysevich, Dmitry Strotsev, Yulia Tsimafeeva, Uladz Lyankevich, Andrei Khadanovich, Valzhyna Mort, and Uladzimer Arlov. A prominent topic throughout the interviews is the right of Belarusians to live in a free and democratic society: protests against the Lukashenko regime have been going on in Belarus since August 2020. However, the writers not only discuss the critical state of Belarus today but also the country's history, its cultural longevity, unique characteristics, and traditions.

        Neuer Antisemitismus?

        Eine globale Debatte

        by Doron Rabinovici, Ulrich Speck, Natan Sznaider

        Wo liegt die Grenze zwischen legitimer Kritik an Israel und Antisemitismus? Hat sich der Antisemitismus in der Ideenwelt des Islam etabliert? Inwieweit spielen bei linkem Antizionimus antisemitische Topoi eine Rolle? Seit einigen Jahren gibt es eine neue, weltweit geführte Debatte über den Antisemitismus. Nicht mehr Rechtsextremismus und Vergangenheitsbewältigung stehen dabei im Vordergrund, sondern die kontroversen Positionen gegenüber dem Nahostkonflikt. In zahlreichen Originalbeiträgen dokumentiert der Band den internationalen Stand der Debatte erstmals für das deutsche Publikum. Mit Texten von Omer Bartov, Ulrich Beck, Micha Brumlik, Ian Buruma, Judith Butler, Dan Diner, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, Thomas Haury, Jeffrey Herf, Tony Judt, Gerd Koenen, Matthias Küntzel, Antony Lerman, Andrei Markovits, Michael Walzer, Robert Wistrich und Moshe Zimmermann.

        by David Harrison, Richard Sharpley, Hazel Andrews, Julio Aramberri, Gregory Ashworth, Raoul Bianchi, Sue Bleasdale, Kelly Bricker, Jim Butcher, Erik Cohen, David T. Duvall, Martin Farr, John Heeley, Andrew Holden, Stanislav Ivanov, Heather Jeffrey, Gabriele Manella, Chris Ryan, Asterio Savelli, Hongdi Shen, John E Tunbridge, David Weaver, Paul F Wilkinson

        This new book reviews all aspects of the phenomenon of mass tourism. It covers theoretical perspectives (including political economy, ethics, sustainability and environmentalism), the historical context, and the current challenges to domestic, intra-regional and international mass tourism. As tourism and tourist numbers continue to grow around the world, it becomes increasingly important that this subject is studied in depth and best practice applied in real-life situations. This book: - Is the first to address a range of theoretical issues relating to mass tourism; - Uses a wide selection of case studies to translate theory into practice, covering the historical rise and fall of UK seaside resorts, the increase in Chinese tourism, conflict between different mass tourism groups, destination transformation from mass to niche tourism, and specific problems facing cruise ships; - Is written by a range of international, established authors to give a global perspective on the subject. Finishing with a speculative chapter identifying potential future trends and challenges, this book forms an essential resource for all researchers and students within tourism studies. ; Section 1: Introduction1: Introduction: Mass Tourism in a Small WorldSection 2: Theoretical Approaches to Mass Tourism2: Mass Tourism Does Not Need Defending3: The Morality of Mass Tourism4: The Political Economy of Mass Tourism and its Contradictions5: A Theoretical Approach to Mass Tourism in Italy6: Sustainability and Mass Tourism: A Contradiction in Terms?7: Mass Tourism and the Environment: Issues and DilemmasSection 3: Historical Studies of Tourism Development8: The Dynamics of Tourism Development in Britain: The Profit Motive and that ‘Curious’ Alliance of Private Capital and the Local State9: From Holiday Camps to the All-inclusive: the ‘Butlinization’ of Tourism10: Decline Beside the Seaside: British Seaside Resorts and Declinism11: Mass Tourism and the US National Park Service System12: Transport and Tourism: The Perpetual LinkSection 4: Case Studies in Modern Mass Tourism13: Mass Tourism and China14: Mass Tourism in Thailand: The Chinese and Russians15: Mass Tourism in Bulgaria: The Force Awakens16: Mass Tourism in Mallorca: Examples from Calivià17: Tunisia: Mass Tourism in Crisis?18: From Blue to Grey?

        Nostalgia

        by Mircea Cărtărescu, Gerhardt Csejka

        Nostalgia, das geniale Prosadebüt von Mircea Cartarescu, erzählt von Kindheit und Jugend im Bukarest der sechziger und siebziger Jahre. Im Licht der Erinnerung, die aus den Empfindungen aller Sinne aufersteht, gewinnen die Schauplätze eine überwältigende Präsenz. Da ist das zerklüftete, morastige Gelände hinter dem Wohnblock am Stefan-cel-Mare Boulevard, wo der geheimnisvolle Knabe Mendebilus eine ganze Kinderbande mit somnambuler Akrobatik und tiefsinnigen Geschichten in Bann schlägt. Oder der glitschige unterirdische Tunnel, durch den Gina und Andrei ins Naturhistorische Museum geraten, wo sie ihre erste Liebesnacht erleben. Schließlich der bizarre, melancholische Turm am Stadtrand und seine riesenhaften Bewohner. Zu Recht hat der Spiegel Mircea Cartarescu einen „Proust des Plattenbaus“ genannt. Die unerhörte Intensität, mit der er die Dinge und Geschöpfe der äußeren Welt schildert, gibt ihnen die magische, mystische Aura zurück. Meisterhaft versteht er es, die aus dem Traum, dem Wahnsinn und der poetischen Ekstase geborenen Bilder auf die Bühne unserer vermeintlich festgefügten Wirklichkeit zu schieben.

        Vierter Band: Las Casas vor Karl V. Szenen aus der Konquistadorenzeit

        by Reinhold Schneider, Edwin Maria Landau, Edwin Maria Landau

        Reinhold Schneider hat in seinen Arbeitsnotizen vom »Gewissen des Abendlandes« gesprochen, dessen »Sprecher Las Casas« sei. Las Casas (1474-1566), der leidenschaftliche Streiter für die Gleichberechtigung der Indios in den amerikanischen Kolonien gegen die mit seinem Missionsauftrag unvereinbare Ausbeutung und den Völkermord durch die spanischen Eroberer, schifft sich nach Spanien ein, wo er den Kaiser für einen grundsätzlichen Wandel in der Kolonialpolitik gewinnen will. Sein Reisegefährte Bernadino de Lares, der heimkehrende Konquistador, bestärkt Las Casas darin, die Zustände in den Kolonien zu bekämpfen. In der großen, historisch belegten Disputation vor Karl V. tritt Bernardino, seelisch und körperlich gebrochen, als Zeuge für Las Casas auf. In seinem triumphlosen Sieg erreicht Las Casas, daß der Kaiser die »Neuen Gesetze« verkündet, und nimmt die schwere Mission an, sie als Bischof in Mexiko zu verbreiten.
