Fiction2021Composition Biography: Thoughts and Confusion Carry Me
by Said Bengrad
The book is a story that combines childhood living in the 1960s deserts, before current forms of technology and virtualization. In this narrative text, it was not a matter of resurrecting a moment in a fleeting life in a non-stop chronology, but of shaping it into concepts that reconstruct it in an abstract way. The text does not present an individual story, but rather redraws the boundaries of an entire generation’s experience, a generation that saw the light after Morocco’s independence, with all of its subsequent achievements, failures, victories, and tragedies. The narrator in the text does not present ready-made theories; instead, he captures life in its events and facts and elevates it to an abstract level pending contemplation. The event in the text is an excuse for restoring life in the form of a “human experience,” and that is the outlet for returning academic knowledge to its role as an incubator for people’s concerns as depicted by their narratives, stories, and beliefs. What people experience by instinct; the story turns into another story constructed in the abstract. We do not simply live, we also contemplate our own living, and this is the sublime function of narration.

Health & Personal DevelopmentSeptember 2021Loving, Lying, and Healing
Heal an infidelity and renew your love pacts so as not to suffer
by Tere Díaz Sendra
Is fidelity an agreement with an expiration date?Does infidelity always involve heartbreak and conflict?After we discovered an infidelity, is it possible to repair and restore trust?Living a committed and loving relationship is a deeply human longing. The issue ofinfidelity (a frequent love conflict) must be addressed by integrating thecontradictions and ambivalences of human nature, particularly on the topic oflove. Infidelity is a very complex phenomenon that is characterized by theexistence of a “villain” and a “victim”. Many times it is explained in a moralistic wayand that prevents exploring the motivations that drive it, the beliefs that supportit and the procedures that complicate it. Love requires commitment andcertainties, while erotic desire opens different paths within the same territory oflove. The correct management of these two forces is key to understanding andovercoming infidelity.

Der Reprint der legendären Werkausgabe zum 100. Todestag des Autors | Endlich wieder lieferbar
by Velimir Chlebnikov, Peter Urban, Marie Luise Knott
In seinem Manifest »Eine Ohrfeige dem öffentlichen Geschmack« forderte Velimir Chlebnikov 1912, »die alten Großen« – Puschkin, Dostojewski, Tolstoi usw. – »vom Dampfer der Gegenwart zu stoßen«. Der Begründer des russischen Futurismus, Generationengenosse von Franz Kafka und James Joyce, von Kurt Schwitters und Raoul Hausmann, träumte von einer radikalen poetischen Erneuerung der Sprache. Er war Wegbereiter der konkreten Poesie und des Surrealismus. In seinen Gedichten kombiniert er die »Sternensprache« mit der Alltagssprache, den »Zaum« (eine Sprache der Laute und der Zufallsschöpfungen) mit der »Zahlenrede«. Der Reprint erscheint zum 100. Todestag des Autors und zum 50. Geburtstag der legendären Gesamtausgabe, die Peter Urban 1972 im Rowohlt Verlag als exzeptionelles übersetzerisches Kollektivunternehmen realisiert hat. Mitwirkende waren u.a. H.C. Artmann, Paul Celan, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Ernst Jandl, Friederike Mayröcker, Franz Mon, Oskar Pastior und Gerhard Rühm. Ein anarchisches Experiment, in dessen Bahnen sich die translinguale Poesie heute bewegt.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 1999The Shoemaker's Holiday
by Thomas Dekker
by David Bevington, Robert Smallwood, Stanley Wells, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich
Thomas Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday is one of the most popular of Elizabethan plays, entertaining, racy and vivid in its characterisation. Revealing a vital portrait of Elizabethan London and the interaction of social classes within the city, its social commentary is on the whole optimistic, though darker tones are discernible. The play has the whole optimistic, though darker tones are discernible. The play has had a lively history of performance on both the professional and amateur stage; the roles of Simon and Madgy Eyre in particular have proved worthy vehicles for the talents of such performers as Sir Donald Wolfit and Dame Edith Evans, and a notable production was directed by Orson Wells. The editors offer a study of the text; a historical and critical introduction, which includes a study of the play's relationship with contemporary life and drama and of its place in Dekker's work; a stage history' a detailed commentary and a reprint of source materials. ;

March 1987Die Geschichte von Aucassin und Nicolette
by Fritz Kredel, Paul Hansmann, Wolfgang Lange
Die Geschichte von Aucassin und Nicolette, die altfranzösische Vers- und Prosaerzählung eines unbekannten Dichters aus dem 13. Jahrhundert, die in geist- und phantasievoller Frische die abenteuerliche Geschichte von Trennung und Wiedervereinigung des Grafen von Beaucaire mit seiner geliebten Nicolette, einer sarazenischen Kriegsgefangenen, erzählt, ist sicher bekannter als ihr einfühlsamer und meisterhafter Illustrator aus dem 20. Jahrhundert, Fritz Kredel. Die altmeisterlich wirkenden Holzschnitte bilden Ruhepunkte in dem bewegten Handlungsgeschehen, indem sie auf ihre Weise die Erzählung noch einmal erzählen und deren Helden bildhaft vorstellen.Fritz Kredel wurde am 8. Februar 1900 in Michelstadt im Odenwald geboren; er starb am 11. Juni 1973 in New York. Seine gemüts- und humorvolle, leicht faßbare und klare, lebendige Darstellungsweise rückt ihn in die Nähe von Künstlerpersönlichkeiten wie Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Moritz von Schwind, Ludwig Richter oder Adolf von Menzel. Erstmals erschien Die Geschichte von Aucassin und Nicolette 1956 als Band Nr. 14. Dem Reprint liegt ein nach Vorlagen Fritz Kredels von Martin Schauer kolorierter Band zugrunde.

Poetry2015Metrophobia
by Myroslav Laiuk
Metrophobia is the second book of poetry by Miroslav Layuk. It is the space of language and the world it creates. A world that begins with small autobiographical stories (according to the author), marked with a dash-and-dot line of school trees, abandoned buildings, nursing homes, children's mental hospitals and cemeteries, and it grows into a Sonnetarium – the grand and disparate world of Ezra, in which all connoisseurs of this not very common today poetic genre will live luxuriously. The splendid artistic design by Zhanna Kadyrova further reveals this world, gives it a structure and monumental features, but at the same time seems to build a separate parallel, a separate perspective of movement into the depth of consideration, reading, and interpretation. Metrophobia was recognized as the best poetry collection of 2015 by the annual LitAkcent Literary Prize.

Art forms2022T. Shevchenko. Life in art
by Dmytro Stus, Tetyana Chuiko, Anastasia Morozova, Yulia Shilenko
Of course, the fate of the artist was formed in a certain way because he realized his vocation - to be a poet. On the other hand, he lived his life as a professional artist. After graduating from the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, T. Shevchenko worked as an artist in the Temporary Commission for the consideration of ancient acts (Kyiv Archaeographic Commission), applied for the position of drawing teacher at the University of St. Volodymyr in Kyiv. And when his plans were broken by arrest, then in exile, despite the strict imperial ban on writing and drawing, the artist was able to work in his specialty, although not officially. Shevchenko devoted the last years of his life to the development of etching, having received the title of academician in engraving. The publication consists of two parts. The first is devoted to the works of the artist, made in graphic techniques, as well as sepia and watercolor. Given the fact that there are few oil paintings in the artist's works, we singled them out in the second part, trying to break stereotypes about their perception. Each section of the first part is devoted to a separate genre, which was addressed by T. Shevchenko. The largest of the sections are divided into thematic headings, which allows you to see the works of the artist from a new, perhaps unexpected, angle. In turn, the commentary to each work contains a brief history of creation (places, circumstances, relationships, etc.) and artistic characteristics that reveal the performing skills of the author. In addition, an important addition is the part of the commentary "Interesting" and quotes from the novels, Diary, correspondence of the artist, memoirs of his contemporaries. You can start your acquaintance with the publication from any section or even heading. Traveling through Shevchenko's paintings on separate routes you will have a complete rich journey through the original world of the artist.

Central government policiesDecember 2009Candide en Dannemarc, ou l’optimisme des honnêtes gens
Voltaire
by Mike Thompson, Edouard Langille
Published in Rouen in 1767 and reprinted two years later, Voltaire's Candide en Dannemarc, ou l'optimisme des honnêtes gens wraps up the adventures of Candide. Turning his back on both Voltairean satire and scepticism, the novelist proposes a moralistic fable - the focal point of which is a rehabilitation of Leibniz's Theory of Optimism. The main body of the novel tells the story of Candide and his new wife, the noble Zénoïde, in their sumptuous Copenhagen townhouse. Before achieving this happy state, however, the couple endures various trials and tribulations reminiscent of the newly minted gothic genre. Candide en Dannemarc also features a satirical portrait of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. ;

Rereading Chaucer and Spenser
Dan Geffrey with the New Poete
by Rachel Stenner, Tamsin Badcoe, Gareth Griffith
Rereading Chaucer and Spenser is a much-needed volume that brings together established and early career scholars to provide new critical approaches to the relationship between Geoffrey Chaucer and Edmund Spenser. By reading one of the greatest poets of the Middle Ages alongside one of the greatest poets of the English Renaissance, this collection poses questions about poetic authority, influence, and the nature of intertextual relations in a more wide-ranging manner than ever before. With its dual focus on authors from periods often conceived as radically separate, the collection also responds to current interests in periodisation. This approach will engage academics, researchers and students of Medieval and Early Modern culture.
