June 1991Hermann Hesse in Augenzeugenberichten
Herausgegeben von Volker Michels
by Volker Michels
Wenige Autoren haben sich für die Wirkungen ihrer Bücher so verantwortlich gefühlt wie dieser Schriftsteller, der im Laufe seines Lebens nicht nur Zehntausende von Leserzuschriften beantwortet, sondern gewiß auch ebenso viele Besucher empfangen und sich ihrer Probleme angenommen hat. Einige von ihnen haben ihre Eindrücke auch schriftlich überliefert, Prominente wie Unbekannte. Sie kommen in diesem Band zu Wort und entwerfen uns Bilder von diesem Schriftsteller, die seinen Werdegang von der Jahrhundertwende bis ins hohe Alter begleiten. Neben Schilderungen von Autorenkollegen wie Romain Rolland, Max Brod, Hans Carossa, Ernst Penzoldt, Hilde Domin, Albrecht Goes, Wilhelm Schäfer, Hugo Ball, Bernhard von Brentano, R.J. Humm, Peter Weiss und vielen anderen, von Malern und Verlegern, stehen Berichte von Literaturwissenschaftlern und Journalisten, aber auch von Freunden, Schulkameraden und Hausangestellten. Sie alle tragen dazu bei, die Erinnerung an diesen Dichter lebendig zu halten für jene Generationen, in denen kein Augenzeuge mehr befragbar sein wird.

March 2019Magie der Farben
Aquarelle aus dem Tessin. Mit Betrachtungen und Gedichten
by Hermann Hesse, Volker Michels
Im Alter von 40 Jahren, mitten im Ersten Weltkrieg, hat Hermann Hesse zu malen begonnen. Es war ihm ein »Ausweg, um auch in bittersten Zeiten das Leben ertragen zu können« und um Distanz von der Literatur zu gewinnen. »Ich habe mein Malstühlchen in der Hand«, schreibt er 1920, »das ist mein Zauberapparat und Faustmantel, mit dessen Hilfe ich schon tausendmal Magie getrieben und den Kampf mit der blöden Wirklichkeit gewonnen habe.«Von manchen seiner Malausflüge im Tessin haben sich zusammenhängende Bilderfolgen und Aquarellalben erhalten. Aus einem dieser Alben von 1922 erscheint hier eine Folge seiner reizvollsten Arbeiten, aber auch Blätter aus späteren Jahren sind vertreten. Zusammen mit Hesses Betrachtungen über seine Malerei und Selbstzeugnissen aus seinen Briefen machen sie nachvollziehbar, dass Romain Rolland 1921 an Hesse schrieb: »Ich bin entzückt über Ihr Album mit Aquarellen. Sie sind saftig wie Früchte und anmutig wie Blumen. Es lacht einem das Herz dabei.«

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2022Exiting war
The British Empire and the 1918–20 moment
by Romain Fathi, Margaret Hutchison, Andrekos Varnava, Michael Walsh, Alan Lester
Exiting war explores a particular 1918-20 'moment' in the British Empire's history, between the First World War's armistices of 1918, and the peace treaties of 1919 and 1920. That moment, we argue, was a challenging and transformative time for the Empire. While British authorities successfully answered some of the post-war tests they faced, such as demobilisation, repatriation, and fighting the widespread effects of the Spanish flu, the racial, social, political and economic hallmarks of their imperialism set the scene for a wide range of expressions of loyalties and disloyalties, and anticolonial movements. The book documents and conceptualises this 1918-20 'moment' and its characteristics as a crucial three-year period of transformation for and within the Empire, examining these years for the significant shifts in the imperial relationship that occurred and as laying the foundation for later change in the imperial system.

John et Yoni
by Mike Carmel
John et Yoni - Deux frères jumeaux - deux religions - deux nations - une seule âme !Mike Carmel A la suite d'une relation illicite passionnée entre une jeune étudiante en psychologie et son professeur marié, en 1979, deux frères jumeaux, John et Yoni, sont involontairement séparés lors du premier mois de leur vie et sont élevés dans deux différentes familles adoptives. John grandit en Angleterre à Liverpool, dans la foi romaine catholique. Yoni est élevé à Raanana, en Israël, dans la confession juive.A l'âge de 21 ans, ils se rencontrent pour la première fois. Ils sont tous deux très croyants, chacun dans ses propres convictions religieuses, et il s'ensuit un processus intéressant de découverte mutuelle, alors que leurs voies culturelles différentes se rencontrent. Ce qui suit est une histoire captivante, stimulante, amusante, qui soulève des questions et occasionnellement des conflits, et souvent débouche sur le bizarre. Alors, l'un d'eux perd tragiquement la vie, victime d'un attentat suicidaire à la bombe, et son frère jumeau reste, pour endurer le difficile processus de remise en question de sa propre identité, se retrouvant de nouveau seul au monde. Mike Carmel est né en 1956 à Liverpool et étudia l'économie à la Liverpool University et à la Brunel University, à Londres. Bien que l'auteur fût élevé dans la foi anglicane, il décida, en 1980, de se convertir au judaïsme. Il conserva désormais un profond respect pour les deux religions.Travaillant dans le secteur de la Hi Tech, Mike vit en Israël depuis 25 ans. Il a servi dans l'armée israélienne comme infirmier et il a aussi rempli diverses fonctions dans l'éducation dans les deux pays. Mike s'est marié avec une israélienne en 1981 et ils ont trois enfants. Sa fille, à laquelle le livre est dédié, a été gravement blessée pendant son service militaire par un terroriste suicidaire en 2003.

Indigenous Knowledge (IK) reviews cutting-edge research and links theory with practice to further our understanding of this important approach's contribution to natural resource management. It addresses IK's potential in solving issues such as coping with change, ensuring global food supply for a growing population, reversing environmental degradation and promoting sustainable practices. It is increasingly recognised that IK, which has featured centrally in resource management for millennia, should play a significant part in today's programmes that seek to increase land productivity and food security while ensuring environmental conservation. By drawing together strands of biocultural diversity research into natural resources management, this book: - Provides an overview of conceptual issues around IK and its contributions to sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation; - Addresses key themes via case studies from bioculturally diverse regions of the world; - Displays a wide range of methodologies and outlines a possible agenda to guide future work. An invaluable resource for researchers and postgraduate students in environmental science and natural resources management, this book is also an informative read for development practitioners and undergraduates in agriculture, forestry, geography, anthropology and environmental studies.
