March 2002Gandhi für Gestreßte
by Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Kämpchen, Martin Kämpchen, Martin Kämpchen
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, genannt »Mahatma« (Große Seele), ist eine der bedeutendsten Persönlichkeiten des modernen Indien. 1869 im heutigen Gujarat geboren, focht Gandhi als Rechtsanwalt für die Rechte der indischen Bevölkerungsgruppe in Südafrika und entwickelte die Methode des »zivilen Ungehorsams«, die bis heute allen Menschenrechtsbewegungen Vorbild ist.Sein Prinzip der Gewaltlosigkeit geht auf alte Erkenntnisse des Hinduismus, Buddhismus und Jinismus zurück. Doch Gandhi formulierte es für unsere Zeit neu und benutzte die Gewaltlosigkeit als wirkungsvolle Waffe im Unabhängigkeitskampf Indiens gegen die Engländer: »Gewaltlosigkeit ist die größte Kraft, die dem Menschen geschenkt ist.«Gandhi starb 1948, kurz nachdem Indien unter seiner Führung die Unabhängigkeit erlangt hatte. Sein Einfluß ist in Indien sowie im religiösen Handeln Europas nicht wegzudenken.Die vorliegende Auswahl versammelt Aussprüche und Erkenntnisse Gandhis, die auch für heutige Leser wegweisend sein können und neue Denkanstöße bieten.

Martin Kämpchen stellt die wichtigsten Gedanken Gandhis zum Miteinander im Alltag, zu Politik und Religion, zu Wahrheit und Gewaltlosigkeit vor.

by Manfred Brocker
Der Band stellt mehr als sechzig der wichtigsten politischen und sozialwissenschaftlichen Texte des 20.

Sie alle werden von führenden Experten interpretiert und historisch wie werkbiographisch eingeordnet. Die ausgewählten Texte spiegeln in ihrer Vielstimmigkeit und globalen Spannbreite die widersprüchliche Geschichte des vergangenen Jahrhunderts wider. Kriege und totalitäre sowie koloniale Unterdrückung prägten es ebenso wie das Eintreten für Menschenrechte und Demokratie, Gerechtigkeit und Nachhaltigkeit und eine wissenschaftlich-rational begründete Politik.

June 2006Was ist Hinduismus?
by Mahatma Gandhi, Ursula Gräfe, Martin Kämpchen
Mahatma Gandhi führte Indien 1947 in die Unabhängigkeit. Die Quellen für seine Vorstellungen von sozialen, politischen und ökonomischen Veränderungen auf der Grundlage von Wahrheit (satya) und Gewaltlosigkeit (ahimsa) liegen im Hinduismus.»Ein Mensch muß nicht an Gott glauben, um Hindu zu sein. Hinduismus ist die unermüdliche Suche nach Wahrheit, und selbst wenn er heute dem Untergang geweiht scheint, so wird er sich doch eines Tages über die ganze Welt verbreiten. Hinduismus ist die toleranteste aller Religionen. Frei von jeglichem Dogma ist sein Credo allumfassend.«Der vorliegende Band stellt erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung die zentralen Gedanken Gandhis zur Lebensform des Hinduismus und ihrer Umsetzung im Alltag vor.

August 2017Cultural Perplexity in Agonized Travel (ultimate revised edition with illustrations)
by Yu Qiuyu
Cultural Perplexity in Agonized Travel is the salable classic cultural prose of Yu Qiuyu, which was first published in 1992. From then, Yu has painstakingly modified and rewritten this book in subsequent republications during the last 25 years. Cultural Perplexity in Agonized Travel (ultimate revised edition with illustrations), published by Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House, has went through lots of supplement and revise on the basis of the old versions. The most vital revise is deleting the fourth part "Life Journey", adding several significant articles in Mountain Home Notes, and increasing 23 illustrations. This version is examined and approved by Yu Qiuyu himself. Several articles in the book have been selected into the Chinese textbooks of middle school.

Chang Yu animal painting
by Chang Yu
In the modern Chinese painting circle, Chang Yu is a leader, once alternately refreshing the Chinese oil painting auction record. Painter Chang Yu has had ups and downs throughout her life, and insists on going her own way in art. He is recognized in the West as a world-class painter, a Chinese Modigliani, a painter who creates freely for his artistic beliefs and makes remarkable achievements. Chang Yu turned from the most familiar Chinese art to another brand new western art field, and constantly explored and pursued on the basis of Chinese painting, finally achieving Chang Yu's special painting style of simplicity and fluency. Chang Yu is an indelible Oriental pearl. Few books of Chang Yu are published in China. We popularize such art and publicize Chang Yu's achievements in the history of Chinese art in the 20th century.The series consists of 3 books. This book is a collection of Chang Yu's animal paintings, which contains more than 60 of her important and iconic animal works. Chang Yu's animal works mostly show the vast land, the ancient roads, or the yellow sand road, and the desolate situation of people. In the painting, there is only a small animal like a drop in the ocean in the boundless empty sky. All the viewers can feel the loneliness and sorrow of this stranger in his old age.

Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre
by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Albert Arrayas, Svenja Becker
Mohandas wuchs in der indischen Stadt Porbandar auf und träumte früh von einer gerechteren Welt. Als frischgebackener Anwalt ging er nach Südafrika. Dort warf man ihn aus dem Zugabteil der 1. Klasse – weil er kein Weißer war. Daraufhin organisierte er den ersten friedlichen Sitzstreik aller Zeiten. Zurück in Indien setzte er sich mit friedlichen Methoden für ein Ende der britischen Kolonialherrschaft ein und bekam den Ehrennamen Mahatma – »große Seele«. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Schauspielerin, Fußballer oder Bürgerrechtsaktivistin, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen. Für welches Alter sind diese Bücher gedacht? Für Babys das perfekte Geschenk zur Begrüßung in eine Welt voller Träume! 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.
