September 2022Der Süden / Bene
Spanische Bibliothek
by Adelaida García Morales, Anne Sorg-Schumacher, Imme Bergmaier
Der Vater tot, die Mutter fort, das Haus verwaist. Nach dem Suizid ihres Vaters sucht die Erzählerin von Der Süden das Zwiegespräch mit dem Verstorbenen. Wer war der Mann, der dem Kind so rätselhaft erschien? Ein Zauberer, der mit seiner Wünschelrute Verborgenes aufspürt? Ihr Verbündeter gegen die verbitterte Mutter? Auf der Suche nach seinem Geheimnis begibt sie sich in den Süden – doch was anfangen mit Antworten, die zu spät kommen? Karges Land, verrümpelte Turmzimmer, Eukalyptuswälder – abgründig sind die Schauplätze der Kindheit, die Adelaida García Morales in Bene erzählt. Ein mysteriöses neues Dienstmädchen bringt das eintönige Familienleben ins Wanken. Bene ist verwandt mit Bettlern, vorlaut, frivol – und darf doch bleiben. Ist es die Milde des Vaters oder steckt mehr dahinter? Zwischen Aberglauben, Antiziganismus und Albträumen forscht die Erzählerin nach der Wahrheit. Adelaida García Morales' Novellen sind magische Beschwörungen der Vergangenheit. Lakonisch und eindringlich erzählen sie von Familie, Leid und obsessiver Liebe. Wie, fragen sie unaufhörlich, kann man Trauer in Sinn verwandeln?

MedicineJuly 2018Are We Pushing Animals to Their Biological Limits?
Welfare and Ethical Implications
by Temple Grandin, Martin Whiting
Stimulating and thought-provoking, this important new text looks at the welfare problems and philosophical and ethical issues that are caused by changes made to an animal's telos, behaviour and physiology, both positive and negative, to make them more productive or adapted for human uses. These changes may involve selective breeding for production, appearance traits, or competitive advantage in sport, transgenic animals or the use of pharmaceuticals or hormones to enhance production or performance. Changes may impose duties to care for these animals further and more intensely, or they may make the animal more robust. The book considers a wide range of animals, including farm animals, companion animals and laboratory animals. It reviews the ethics and welfare issues of animals that have been adapted for sport, as companions, in work, as ornaments, food sources, guarding and a whole host of other human functions. This important new book sparks debate and is essential reading for all those involved in animal welfare and ethics, including veterinarians, animal scientists, animal welfare scientists and ethologists.

January 2009Verità che scottano
Domande e risposte su questioni attuali di amore e di vita
by Angela Maria Cosentino
Prefazione di Francesco D'Agostino In nome di un falso progresso e di una falsa libertà, si registra un profondo cambiamento di mentalità e di comportamenti in riferimento alle principali questioni che scottano: persona, amore, famiglia e vita. Tali cambiamenti, sostenuti da interessi economici e ideologici, sono orientati ad oscurare la verità sulla Creazione dell’uomo. Ciò comporta, di conseguenza, un attacco anche ai fondamentali diritti umani, diritti che nessuna maggioranza può attribuire ma solo riconoscere e tutelare. Il volume, che alla luce della ragione e della fede offre spunti di riflessione per avviare il confronto sui valori in gioco nelle attuali questioni bioetiche, è rivolto a tutti, in particolare a chi è impegnato nell’emergenza educativa. Rappresenta un agile manuale che, in forma dialogica, tocca l’abc di alcuni valori non negoziabili per promuovere un coraggioso Sì all’amore e alla vita. Per il bene della persona, della famiglia e della società.

LETTERA A UN'AMICA CHE CI SARÀ PER SEMPRE
by Sergio Bambaren
«Qualche tempo fa una delle persone più meravigliose che io abbia mai conosciuto ha lasciato questo mondo. Si chiamava Silvia. Ci eravamo conosciuti da bambini, quando eravamo vicini di casa, e nonostante le nostre strade si siano divise non ci siamo mai persi di vista. Nel corso degli anni ci siamo incontrati molte volte in giro per il mondo e abbiamo continuato a volerci bene. Era una sognatrice, proprio come me.» In questa lunga lettera rivolta a una carissima amica recentemente scomparsa, Sergio Bambarén mantiene la promessa fattale prima che morisse: scrivere un libro dedicato alla loro amicizia, nata sui banchi di scuola, e al legame indissolubile che li ha tenuti vicini per tanti anni, nonostante le difficoltà, i cambiamenti, le distanze. Silvia, l'amica che se n'è andata, rimane così una figura sempre presente, non solo nella memoria, come di solito succede, ma anche nella piccola, preziosa testimonianza delle parole scritte. Un testo di grande umanità e di portata universale su un sentimento così importante come l'amicizia.
