Mainstream United
I'm representing modern Israeli Russian-speaking writer Jonathan Vidgop. This author's first book was granted fund of Israeli president and received recognition in Israel in 1999. The author writes rarely. There are two very different books offered. One, a result of 20 years of collecting historical material, is a collection of more than 100 very funny short stories of sexuality and attitude to Jews of famous personalities of different countries and times. The other book, very recent, is a a grotesque phantasmagoria, novel "Testimony", whose style, if any, can be compared to Susskind's Perfume. See description of the books below.

June 2000Dante und der Hummer
Gesammelte Prosa
by Samuel Beckett, Erika Tophoven, Elmar Tophoven, Christian Enzensberger, Wolfgang Hildesheimer
"Es beginnt mit einem Scherz. Im November 1930 stellt Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) den Romanisten des Trinity College in Dublin einen Dichter namens Jean du Chas vor, den es nicht gibt. Mit parodierter Bildungshuberei und selbstverliebten Formulierungskünsten, die durch Sarkasmus gesteigert und in Schach gehalten werden, weist dieser Text auf Becketts ersten, postum veröffentlichten Roman »Traum von mehr bis minder schönen Frauen« voraus, der 1932 in Paris entstand, sowie auf den Erzählzyklus »Mehr Prügel als Flügel« aus dem Jahr 1934 (aus dem zwei Erzählungen aufgenommen wurden). Am Schluß der chronologisch nach dem Zeitpunkt des Entstehens geordneten Sammlung steht Immer noch nicht mehr, des Autors letzter Prosatext, geschrieben zwischen 1986 und 1988: fast Szene in der Reduziertheit des Raums und der Bewegungen; fast Gedicht in seinem Kreisen, Variieren, Wiederholen. »Eines Nachts als er den Kopf auf den Händen am Tisch saß sah er sich aufstehen und gehen.« Dante und der Hummer (so heißt die erste Erzählung aus Mehr Prügel als Flügel) macht alles, was in den Werken, in Einzelausgaben und sonst verstreut von Becketts kürzerer erzählender Prosa auf deutsch erschienen ist, zum ersten Mal in einem Band verfügbar -dazu drei kleine deutsche Erstveröffentlichungen: »Das Bild«, »weder noch« und »Wie soll man sagen«."

Zurück in den USA studierte er Philosophie und dachte sich seinen ganz eigenen Kampfstil aus. Außerdem eröffnete er Kampfschulen und produzierte Filme. Er wurde zum Vorbild vieler junger Menschen auf der ganzen Welt. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Schauspielerin, Fußballer oder Bürgerrechtsaktivistin, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht.

Und Eltern werden in schlaflosen Nächten von diesen Büchern dazu ermutigt, das Vorlesen zu einem selbstverständlichen Teil des Lebens zu machen. Kleinkinder werden von den Illustrationen verzaubert sein – sie werden zahlreiche Dinge entdecken. Auch sind die Bücher großartige „Vokabeltrainer“! 3- bis 5-Jährige werden alles, Illustrationen und Texte, geradezu in sich aufsaugen! 6-, 8- und 10-Jährige haben ein ausgeprägteres Verständnis für die Illustrationen und die Bedeutung der Geschichte – es geht nicht nur darum, sich selbst zu akzeptieren und die eigenen Zukunftsträume zu verwirklichen, sondern auch darum, andere so zu akzeptieren, wie sie sind. Später: Die Bücher sind gute Geschenke zu jedem Anlass, denn die Träume der Kindheit können das ganze Leben lang Wirklichkeit werden.

October 2023The Nile of the Living
by Mohamed Abdallah
“In the old days, passing on an inheritance was rarely an issue. Oh, there were always old men to complain about the folly of the new generations and cheeky brats ready to mock their elders, but, on the whole, the world of sons resembled that of fathers, and the lessons of the latter were passed on without much difficulty. Today, each era seems to create its own world, bringing its own new life into it. The challenge is not to lose sight of the aspects of continuity that reign from one era to the next.” Mohamed Abdallah Egypt, its neighbors. Cairo, a city that has created an arena for itself between the jaws of the desert. Its river emerges from elsewhere, the Nile, always there, meandering amiably between Cairo's buildings, sometimes disappearing behind a mosque or cinema, before reappearing for good, an ancient comrade in a procession backwards through the decades. Its nourishing trickles are laden with secrets, the destinies of men and women and the mysteries of millennia. One era? No, several. At the beginning, or rather at the end, two novelists, two cousins who don't know each other but remember the same universe. In their books, they recount its beauty, greatness and pettiness, successes and failings. The root of this painful poetics? A revived horizon, refracted from one era to the next. Revolutions wished for, sung about, mourned. A world, several continents believing themselves to be in the hollow of a valley where faces emerge, voices rise, psalms are declaimed, music dances, scents run through the streets... Oumm Koulthoum, Youcef Cha-hine, Tawfiq al-Hakim, Ahmad Shawqi, Cheikh Imam, Fouad Nagm, Soad Hosny and... take their place at Café Isfet in the El Gamaliyya district. Broken, twisted, surviving, magnificent friendships. Unspoken loves, over-thought, under-experienced. Good-natured, jovial, albeit frazzled, witnesses. And, in the midst of this field of superb ruins, life, its aspirations, the arts and their.
