March 1983Cécile
by Theodor Fontane, Walter Müller-Seidel
Mit dem 1886 erschienenen Roman »Cécile« setzt Fontane die Reihe seiner Zeitromane fort. Wie in »L’Adultera« und später in »Unwiederbringlich« oder »Effi Briest« steht eine scheiternde Ehe im Mittelpunkt; aber mehr noch stehen Frauenfragen im Brennpunkt des erzählten Geschehens: ihre fortwirkende Abhängigkeit in einer von Männern beherrschten Welt, die Geschichte machen, wie sie von ihnen verstanden wird. Zugleich ist die erzählte Geschichte der schönen Cécile von St. Arnaud eine Krankengeschichte, die mit dem Freitod endet. Der Zusammenhang von Frauenwelt, Krankheit und Gesellschaft, den Fontane als Erzähler sichtbar macht, rückt den lange Zeit verkannten Roman sehr nahe an die beginnende Moderne heran.

The ArtsNovember 2017Vivien Leigh
Actress and icon
by Kate Dorney, Maggie B. Gale
This edited volume provides new readings of the life and career of iconic actress Vivien Leigh (1913-67), written by experts from theatre and film studies and curators from the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. The collection uses newly accessible family archives to explore the intensely complex relationship between Vivien Leigh's approach to the craft of acting for stage and screen, and how she shaped, developed and projected her public persona as one of the most talked about and photographed actresses of her era. With key contributors from the UK, France and the US, chapters range from analyses of her work on stage and screen to her collaborations with designers and photographers, an analysis of her fan base, her interior designs and the 'public ownership' of Leigh's celebrity status during her lifetime and beyond.

Mind, Body, SpiritNot What Should Be But What Is
by Swâmi Prajnânpad & Arnaud Desjardins
This book is the first English-language translation of the collected core-teachings of the Indian sage Swami Prajnanpad (1891-1974). It captures the raw confrontive rhetoric of a brilliant philosopher, scholar and psychologist. Prajnanpad, unknown to most of the West, is revealed in these pages as the hidden spiritual genius that he was. Throughout the time of his apprenticeship to Swamji, as he was commonly called, his disciple Arnaud Desjardins kept copious notes of his teacher’s recommendations (Les Formulaes). They included such pithy sentiments as the title suggests, along with many others of enigmatic and quotable worth, such as “Never believe a thought associated with an emotion.” The commentaries on these pith instructions, in the words and expanded explanations of Desjardins, become a handbook of guidance for the aspirant on this path of self-knowledge. Seekers of any tradition will find here a way grounded in reality and applicable to life in the 21st century. Without such in-depth self-understanding, the author and commentator demonstrate, we will continue to remain trapped by the prisons of our own minds never reaching the full potential of our humanity.

April 2021Still Not Better
by Arnaud Le Guilcher
After the success of his first two novels, Not So Good and Not Better, Arnaud Le Guilcher returns to his disenchanted hero, a magnificent loser, in this hilarious and surreal poetic comedy that questions blood ties and our connection to the world. Our (anti-)hero is a Frenchman exiled in the middle of nowhere in the US. Right after his wife leaves him, taking with her their two-year-old daughter but leaving behind their teenage goth hacker son, he gets a call from a notary. His grandfather, who he thought was already dead, has actually just hit the hay and a mysterious inheritance awaits him in the French alps.Accompanied by his best friend and his Satanist son, he makes his way to Saint Colombard des Izands, a picturesque village nestled at the foot of the Savoy mountains. There, he will discover that the contents of his inheritance smell like forgotten goat cheese: he is now the head of “Cabri au Lait,” a cheese production company on the edge of collapse. Nothing has been going well since wolves in the area decimated all the local sheep. The notary also tells him about his grandfather’s past. Completely unbeknownst to our hero, his grandpa was a former Nazi collaborator who took refuge in South America, then founded the cheese company on his return to France. And in his fascist grandpa’s gloomy alpine manor, among all the Inca statues, dictator get-ups, and bottled vintages, he finds an incredible strongroom full of video surveillance screens. Between 2 or 3 sheep sabotages and a few confrontations with enraged wolves, our hero finds himself with an unexpected chance at finding his wife and daughter. Joined by his transvestite half-brother, devastated by the absence of his wife and daughter, mortified by the revelations of his family tree, always followed closely by the strong desire to drink, but full of the best intentions in the world, will our fortuitous adopted Yankee change things for the better? Certainly. Because as Nietzsche could well have said at a dinner party, “When absurdity doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger."

Mysteries & the supernatural (Children's/YA)August 2012All of Them Vampires!
by Jean Shorney
Vampires walk among us! At least, according to Anton Krieger they do. Krieger witnessed his first vampire kill when he was 19 in 1969. For 40 years he's tried warning the world of his existence. No one believes, but the vampires who think it's time he was silenced. The story brings together a conglomeration of sinister creatures, from a 170 year old vampire residing in an abandoned house in Highgate, to an occultist and master of the dark arts. Cassie, Krieger's beautiful daughter is herself seduced by the handsome John-Byron Sarony. While Sarony appears to be 26 years old, he existed since he became a vampire during World War II. There are also rumbles of the Old One, an ancient and powerful evil, spoken of in hushed whispers. Can Anton warn London before chaos reigns and the Old One is summoned?
