        Das verheißene Land
        September 1997

        Das verheißene Land

        La terra promessa. Das Merkbuch des Alten. Il taccuino del vecchio. Gedichte. Italienisch und deutsch

        by Giuseppe Ungaretti, Paul Celan

        Erinnerung hat die gleiche Funktion wie das Gedicht: Abwesendes als Abwesendes zu vergegenwärtigen. Das verheißene Land - das Land des Äneas, das Land des Dichters, die Liebe der Dido - ist als das unerreichbare das nur zu erinnernde. Im Merkbuch des Alten hat Ungaretti der Erfahrung des alten Mannes, dem letzten Andrang des Gefühls in der sich wehrenden Einsamkeit, der Wüste des Vergessens, eine Sprache gegeben, die mit der größten Einfachheit die größte Transparenz erreicht.

        Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries

        by Janice Valls-Russell, Agnès Lafont, Charlotte Coffin

        This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

        September 2017

        A Vision of Battlements

        by Anthony Burgess

        by Andrew Biswell, Paul Wake

        A Vision of Battlements is the first novel by the writer and composer Anthony Burgess, who was born in Manchester in 1917. Set in Gibraltar during the Second World War, the book follows the fortunes of Richard Ennis, an army sergeant and incipient composer who dreams of composing great music and building a new cultural world after the end of the war. Following the example of his literary hero, James Joyce, Burgess takes the structure of his book from Virgil's Aeneid. The result is, like Joyce's Ulysses, a comic rewriting of a classical epic, whose critique of the Army and the postwar settlement is sharp and assured. The Irwell Edition is the first publication of Burgess's forgotten masterpiece since 1965. This new edition includes an introduction and notes by Andrew Biswell, author of a prize-winning biography of Anthony Burgess.

Loveoid grapples with the dilemmas of the latest generation of humankind ⎯ that the loving don't survive. In the present-day novel Loveoid, Olivia unravels a virus that only harms the corporate elite. In combat with media, governments and corporations, Olivia finds love, and comes to question her own ideals. The impossibly mixed match encounters life-threatening obstacles, as Khalid elicits her darkest fears, yet lights the way with astrological farming and ancient holistic remedies. Will love allow them to stay human?   "Loveoid is a wildly unique and immensely realized science fiction thriller set in a dystopian present in which overpopulation is decimating the Earth and its natural resources at a rapid rate. Additionally, the world of the story is incredibly deep, filled with dense detail and nuance that give the impression of a very realized universe."   ⎯ScreenCraft   "With a new, scary virus as the backdrop, Olivia and Khalid navigate love, cures, and a different world. A timely novel with an interesting message about love and nature."    ⎯Booklist   "The smart choice to set this eco-thriller in the present brings home the tenebrous climate prognostications we usually reserve for another year." ⎯Brussels Express   "As overpopulation grows, natural resources are depleted, species go extinct, and the polar ice caps continue to melt. People now check into euthanasia hotels to escape a hopeless future.... The story's premise is interesting."⎯Library Journal   "Morin's wit can be delicious"  ⎯Canberra Times, Australia   "I take heart from her ethereal intuition: true love is what eventually will separate man from vegetable."  ⎯Andreas Bergsten, Author, The Rift   "About time some serious writers and artists grappling with the biggest issue of our time--maybe all time.

        L'Avenue, la Kasbah

        by Soil, Daniel

        The Avenue is the main street that crosses Tunis, from the sea to the medina. This is where, from time immemorial, people got angry. The Kasbah is the vast esplanade in the center of the Ministries, which has replaced a popular district considered too old by the authorities: it did not give a quite rewarding image of a country so new, so proud of its independence. It is between these two emblematic places that the upheaval of January 2011 took place, of which Daniel Soil was the witness. He was, before, during and after, amazed by the audacity of the rebels of this first "Arab Spring", mad with sympathy for these Tunisians mixed, young and old, urban and country. The novelist had no difficulty in creating a love in these circumstances, also revolutionary because he is fed by the social movement, his beauty, his inventiveness. Elie, a young Belgian filmmaker who came to Tunisia, meets Alyssa, a teacher. The cultural barriers that constrain their nascent love – which is expressed and developed on Facebook – are shattered by the 2011 Revolution, in which they both engage. Accompanied by the background of the opera "Dido and Aeneas", we follow in parallel the evolution of their love and that of the political situation: demonstrations, mobilization of young and old, free speech, until the fall of the dictator and the advent of a hope for democracy that sign the end of the one and the other. First novel about the Tunisian Revolution of 2011, starting point of the "Arab Spring", written by a foreigner who was the privileged witness of it.

        Two Cats Walking

        by Bettina Selby

        For two cats who trace their ancestry back to ancient Egypt , and who believe that they have a sacred duty to the human race, two house moves proves one too many. Deciding that ‘owners’ who drag them away from their home yet again are no longer worthy of them, they escape from their removal vehicle and find themselves adrift somewhere in Middle England with no clear plan of what to do next. Life is suddenly, frighteningly, all tooth and claw, survival of the fittest. Fortunately for the highly articulate but unworldly young cats, they encounter a varied cast of animals who subtly change their outlook on life and help them to realise that they need and want to be back again with their humans, now hundreds of miles away in the mountains of Wales. And so begins their journey, an action packed Odyssey full of surprising shifts and turns hilariously and lyrically related by the two cats. The result is a timeless classic to be enjoyed at any age.

        How to Think Like Ulysses

        What the Classics Can Teach Us about Life

        by Bianca Sorrentino

        What can the Trojan War tell us about women’s empowerment and immigration? What can the myth of Ulysses tell us about human agency when it is pitted against seemingly unsourmountable circumstances? And what about Orpheus? What can his figure teach us about humanity and its relationship with death? We tend to look at the Classics as dusty, as things from the past, something to study in a college course, but the truth is that they are far more modern than we think, and they can shed a marvellous light on what it means to be humans in the 21st century. Written with a charming levity that cleverly masks years of research, How to Think Like Ulysses is a heartfelt plea to rediscovers the literary wonders of the ancient world and to heed their lesson: life in our contemporary world may be very much different from Athens in the 5th century B.C., but perhaps we didn’t change as much.

        Music History as it Ought to be Taught

        by David W. Barber

        David W. Barber has delighted readers around the world with Accidentals on Purpose, When the Fat Lady Sings and other internationally bestselling books of musical humor. His bestselling Bach, Beethoven and the Boys chronicles the lives of the great (and not-so-great) composers as you've never read them before – exploring their sex lives, exposing their foibles and expanding on our understanding of these all-too-human creatures. Filled with information, interesting facts and trivia, this hilarious history covers music from Gregorian chant to the mess we're in now. From Bach's laundry lists to Beethoven's bowel problems, from Gesualdo's kinky fetishes to Cage's mushroom madness, Barber tells tales out of school that ought to be put back there. (Think how much more fun it would be if they taught this stuff.) As always, Dave Donald had provided witty and clever cartoon illustrations to accompany the text. "My heartiest commendation for an admirable work of scholarship... I will not say again that it is funny, since this will compel you to set your jaw and dare Barber to make you laugh." - Anthony Burgess, on Bach, Beethoven and the Boys
