        Die Geniereligion

        Ein kritischer Versuch über das moderne Persönlichkeitsideal, mit einer historischen Begründung

        by Edgar Zilsel, Johann Dvorak, Paul Zilsel, Johann Dvorak

        In der Auseinandersetzung mit Houston Stewart Chamberlain weist Zilsel darauf hin, daß »Vorurteile mit Glück und Blut der Nebenmenschen bezahlt werden«, und fragt, »ob nicht der Begriff der genialen Persönlichkeit und der Tiefe eine ernste Gefahr für unser Zeitalter« bedeuten. Mit »Die Geniereligion« hat Edgar Zilsel seine systematischen Studien zu den gesellschaftlichen Voraussetzungen und Bedingungen der modernen Wissenschaft begonnen, die er später – im Exil – mit den wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten über die Anfänge der neuzeitlichen Wissenschaft weiterführte. (Diese Arbeiten sind enthalten in: Edgar Zilsel, »Die sozialen Ursprünge der neuzeitlichen Wissenschaft«. Herausgegeben und übersetzt von Wolfgang Krohn. Mit einer biobibliographischen Notiz von Jörn Behrmann, stw 152.)

        Spectaculum 75

        Sechs moderne Theaterstücke

        by Antonin Artaud, Jörg Graser, Kai Hensel, Fritz Kater, Simona Sabato, Peter Turrini

        Jahrelang hat die Annahme gegolten, das moderne Drama habe keine Leser. Spectaculum I und II haben diese Annahme widerlegt; die beiden Bände haben ein Aufsehen erregt, das weit über den Kreis der Fachkundigen hinausging; über hunderttausend Bände fanden ihre Käufer. Die Welt, in der wir leben, im Dialog vorzustellen, Texte zu bringen, in denen der Puls unserer und vielleicht einer kommenden Zeit schlägt, und dem modernen Theater als einer Institution zu dienen, in der menschliche Freiheit sich heute wie nirgends sonst unmittelbar ausdrückt - dies war unsere Absicht. Ihr ist begeistert zugestimmt worden: »Die gegenwärtige Lage des deutschsprachigen Theaters ist nicht allzu ermutigend. Wer für das moderne Theater ist, der wird den Wunsch hegen, daß der Suhrkamp Verlag diese dankenswerte Bemühung für das moderne Drama fortsetzt.« Österreichischer Rundfunk. - »In einer Zeit, in der die epische Literatur unseren Büchermarkt mit Romanen überschwemmt, daß die Tatsache der ›Neuerscheinung‹ oft wichtiger geworden ist als die Bedeutung einer Veröffentlichung, wird die Dramensammlung des Suhrkamp Verlages Ereignis. Sie geht den umgekehrten Weg: aus der Flut der Uraufführungen, die oft genug um der Uraufführung willen vonstatten gehen, Wesentliches zu retten. Wir bedürfen der Sicherung dieses Schaffens durch Publikation um so mehr, als wir Klarheit über die Situation unseres Theaters gewinnen müssen, in dem zuweilen die Regieleistung mehr beachtet wird als die Dichtung. Das Spectaculum möge auch mit diesem zweiten Bande nicht abgeschlossen werden.« Darmstädter Tagblatt. Wenn wir uns jetzt entschließen, das Unternehmen Spectaculum zu einer ständigen Einrichtung - wenigstens für die kommenden fünf Jahre - werden zu lassen, geschieht dies aus der Überlegung, daß modernes Theater nicht möglich ist ohne die Kenntnis des modernen Theaters. Das moderne Drama wendet sich an den Zuschauer und an den Leser, bei vielen modernen Stücken wird die vom Autor angestrebte Wirkung sich erst auf

        Journal of a rescue seafarer in the Mediterranean

        by Antonin Richard

Through his story of four years of rescuing migrants at sea, Antonin Richard reports from the inside the daily life of those who wish to give migrants the right to have a better future, and the consequences of Europe’s migration policies.

        Straight Ahead

        by Emmanuelle Rey

        Mauve, Tito and Diamond have been walking along the highway, under the scorching July sun, for the past three days. It was Mauve who decided everything, on a whim, when she realised that this time, her mom had really messed up. And, at fifteen, it was out of the question to be separated from her eight and two-year-old brothers to live with yet another rotten foster family. So the three siblings leave Montpellier and their chaotic life, closely tailed by the police. They leave to find Thierry and Martine, whose smiles and ratatouille chicken Mauve remembers fondly. They start walking straight ahead to Marseille and La Pointe Rouge, with the hope of a new life. Straight Ahead follows the singular path of Mauve and her two brothers, filled with life-altering adventures and realistic characters. Furthermore, in a series of flashbacks, Mauve tells us all about her mother—an eccentric woman who certainly doesn’t seem able to take care of her children, but who is full of love for them nonetheless. • The complexity of a mother-child relationship, when a mother’s love isn’t enough to make up for her shortcomings • The unique bond between siblings that will help them deal with life on the road • Interesting encounters and experiences — good and bad — that teach valuable life lessons

        Peter the thief

        by Yves Frémion

        In his village, Peter mows down everything that attracts him. As the villagers know him, they will get their property back from him since he does not hide and always gives back.

This time, Peter denies the facts. A rural novel about benevolence, tolerance and solidarity, which is good for morale and restores meaning to the idea of humanism.

        by Joana Monteleone

        A delicious piece of work. Several essays, all of them told with pleasure of a historian who, at this moment, is not making History, but telling stories.

The book, indicated for readers of any age, shows how much eacha meal we make is full of stories to be told and to tell us.
