September 2021Treating the People as His Mirror, a Man of Sincerity—Zhang Lan
by Zhao Zunsheng
Based on the life of Mr. Zhang Lan and supplemented by reasonable literary imagination, this book vividly depicts the magnificent life course of a democratic revolutionary, patriot and educator. He served as a governor of Sichuan Province, hosted the Morning Post and supported the New Culture Movement. As the president of Chengdu University, he adhered to the principle of inclusiveness, insisted on meritocracy and advocated ideological and academic freedom. He participated in the initiation and the organization of the China Democratic Political League, wrote China Needs Real Democracy, exposing the feigned democracy and real dictatorship of the Kuomintang. On the eve of liberation, he was unexpectedly imprisoned in Hongqiao Sanatorium because of his support to the Communist Party of China (CPC) and was nearly drowned by the Kuomintang. He served as vice chairman of the Central People's Government of New China and the first chairman of the Central Committee of the China Democratic League. In his life, Zhang Lan was "a man of sincerity". He loved his nation and country, treated the people as his mirror, and always stood in line with the CPC. The book not only vividly describes Zhang Lan's sincere friendship with Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Huang Yanpei and others, and his head-to-head confrontation with Chiang Kai-shek, Duan Qirui and Yang Sen, but also vividly portrays minor characters such as Qiu Yichun, Song Lanying, little Zhang Lun. The rich plot, the exquisite writing style and closeness to life can give readers a "talk" with Zhang Lan in the present and personally feel Zhang Lan's patriotic and progressive life.

July 1996Das Grab des Webers
by Seumas O'Kelly, Kurt Heinrich Hansen
Seumas O'Kelly, geboren 1881 in Loughrea, gestorben 1918 in Dublin, lebte als Journalist. Die Geschichte, wie Mortimer Hehir, der Weber, unter die Erde kommen soll, ist abenteuerlich genug. Es scheint, als könne sich niemand daran erinnern, wo seine Grabstelle ist. Da wird gleichzeitig eine Geschichte vom Absterben erzählt, eine Geschichte von dem, was sich längst überlebt hat, von einer eingefriedeten Welt weit außerhalb der unseren.

April 1996The Best of H. P. Lovecraft
by H. P. Lovecraft, Rudolf Hermstein, H. C. Artmann
Mit seinem Cthulu-Mythos wollte H. P. Lovecraft eine Atmosphäre kosmischen Grauens schaffen, die Archaisches mit den modernen Erkenntnissen der Wissenschaft verbindet und unserer Zeit angemessen ist. Die Angst hielt er für das älteste und stärkste Gefühl, mit dem er in seinen Erzählungen gerne spielte. Die besten Erzählungen von H. P. Lovecraft sind in diesem Rand zusammengefaßt.

June 1988Die Wut des Verstehens
Zur Kritik der Hermeneutik
by Jochen Hörisch
Als im Jahre 1960 Hans-Georg Gadamers Buch Wahrheit und Methode erschien, war »Hermeneutik« noch ein Begriff für Spezialisten. Die Kompetenz der Hermeneutik hat sich mittlerweile geradezu atemberaubend erweitert; sie gab die Beschränkung auf Bücher auf, wandte sich auch dem Nichtgeschriebenen zu und erklärte schließlich alles: die Welt, das Leben und den Tod, zu ihrem Thema. Stand und Standard der Hermeneutik-Debatte sind folglich von großer Subtilität. Der vorliegende Essay unterbietet diesen Diskussionsstand in eklatanter Weise. Seine Absicht ist es, grundsätzlich darzulegen, das »Verstehen« nicht immer und an allen Orten selbstverständlich war und ist, weil das, was selbstverstädnlich ist, aufhört, es zu sein, wenn es verstanden oder gar interpretiert wird. Nachgezeichnet wird deshalb eben nicht die Geschichte der hermeneutischen Geschäftigkeit, der »Wut des Verstehens«. Ausgebreitet werden vielmehr Etappen der hartnäckigen Vermutung, »Verstehen« sei ein heikel-reizvolles Epiphänomen. Zur Diskussion also steht der Universalitätsanspruch der Hermeneutik. Jochen Hörisch, geb. 1951, ist Privatdozent für Neuere Germanistik an der Universität Düsseldorf. Publikationen: (Hg.) Ich möchte ein solcher nie werden wie... Materialien zur Sprachlosigkeit des Kasper Hauser, 1979; Gott - Geld und Glück. - Zur Logik der Liebe, 1983.
