        Zwerg Nase

        by Wilhelm Hauff, Adriana Coll

        Zwerg Nase ist eines der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Märchen von Wilhelm Hauff. Es erzählt die Geschichte vom hübschen Knaben Jakob, der von einer Hexe sieben Jahre als Diener gefangen gehalten wird und als hässlicher Zwerg zurückkehrt, so dass ihn nicht einmal die eigene Mutter wiedererkennt. Doch die Kochkunst, die er im Haus der Hexe erlernte, und die Freundschaft zu einer verzauberten Gans helfen ihm am Ende der Geschichte, sich und seine Freundin Mimi vom bösen Zauber zu befreien. Die Illustrationen von Adriana Coll bezaubern in der Anlehnung an japanische Holzschnittmeister durch ihre besondere Farbigkeit und Ausstrahlung. »›So, Söhnchen, so‹, sprach die Alte, ›iß nur dieses Süppchen, dann hast du alles, was dir an mir so gefallen! Sollst auch ein geschickter Koch werden, daß du doch etwas bist; aber Kräutlein, nein, das Kräutlein sollst du nimmer finden.‹«

        Searching for community

        ways of critical thinking in global south

        by Fabricio Pereira da Silva

        As a response to the widespread social, economic and ecological malaise that is a consequence of the expansion of modernity, Fabricio Pereira da Silva gives voice to a quest that has long been a banner of the left: the yearning for a fairer, more equitable way of life, free from the modern values of individualism, exploitation and inconsequential and disproportionate economic growth, based on the recovery and re-reading of pre-capitalist ways of life. This book is driven by the urgency of a utopia that recovers the ideas of communality gestated in the global periphery to inspire another kind of future. In Search of Community presents a list of theoretical perspectives created in the so-called Global South, with the aim of overcoming a “monoculture of knowledge”. Fabricio Pereira da Silva analyzes Mariátegui's Indo-American socialism, the concepts of negritude and ubuntu, 20th century African socialisms, the idea of Good Living (sumak kawsay/suma qamaña) and Bhutan's gross internal happiness. By “illustrating the richness of proposals from the periphery”, the author offers us other theoretical resources, capable of dealing with the “crisis of modernity, the crisis of Western Marxism and socialist projects in a modernist key”.

        Over the Hill Together

        by Da Chuzhe

        From the fifth year of their marriage, Sumiko had to receive treatment in hospital for the acute pain caused by multiple rheumatoid arthritis. From that time on the disease had seized her. From 1982, Sumiko had to lie in the bed or rely on a wheelchair for the significant dysfunction of the upper limbs and the paralysis of the lower limbs, so she had to let her husband see to her daily life. And Oochuje took care of her basically all by himself unless he had a business trip and he would hire a care worker. This illustrated book elaborately depicts the story between them, including how they met and fell in love with each other during childhood, their daily conversations, their poems as well as their relentless fighting against disease. At the final part of the book, it mainly records the last thirty-three days from December 1997 to January 1998 during which the couple spent together until Sumiko had passed away. The words of the book is selected and the drawings simple yet profound through which one will be deeply touched for the deep and unchangeable love. “Over the hill” in common sense is an expression for death, but it means a whole new world for Oochuje and Sumiko where they would also walk side by side. Their love and cherish for each other was well beyond life and death for they never ceased to bring happiness for each other. And their love story has also enriched the world with pure beauty and wonder of love.
