Limnology (freshwater)March 2006Freshwater Nematodes
Ecology and Taxonomy
by Edited by Eyualem-Abebe, Istvan Andrassy, Walter Traunspurger
Nematodes are the most numerous metazoans in aquatic sediments. The majority of conducted studies on these aquatic forms focus mainly on those in marine and estuarine habitats. Nematodes from inland water bodies have been relatively forgotten or ignored. Recognizing this serious drawback and its impact on research on nematodes, this book brings together the available information on freshwater nematodes. It addresses the taxonomy of this extremely diverse phylum and provides analysis of its ecology in freshwater habitats from nematologists from 12 countries worldwide. Descriptions of each taxon at genus-level and above are provided with an augmenting pictorial guide to the currently valid genera. Also, a complete, up-to-date and valid species-list is given for every genus with an emphasis on those reported from freshwater bodies.

November 1981Gelebtes Denken
Eine Autobiographie im Dialog
by Georg Lukács, Hans-Henning Paetzke, István Eörsi
Gelebtes Denken und die Tonbandaufzeichnungen - beide sind, zusammen mit einer Einführung von István Eörsi, in dem vorliegenden Band enthalten - beleuchten die verschiedenen Etappen von Lukács' Leben: Der Guerillakampf gegen die Mutter in der Kindheit, literarische Versuche, die ersten Essays, die Hinwendung zu Ästhetik, daran anschließend die Beschäftigung mit ethischen Fragen, die Entwicklung zum Kommunisten, die Rolle beim Ungarnaufstand 1956, der Wiedereintritt in die kommunistische Partei im Jahre 1967. Die dadurch entstandenen »Memoiren« berichten von den Ereignissen jedoch nicht aus einer subjektiven Perspektive; sie zeigen vielmehr, wie aus dem Leben das Lukácssche Denken entstand, und wie dieses Denken seinerseits das Verhalten Lukács' bestimmt hat."

April 2010Das Lagervolk
Roman
by István Örkény, Laszlo Kornitzer
In Terézia Moras Übersetzung sorgten sie vor Jahren für Begeisterung: die Minutennovellen von István Örkény, Kürzesttexte, »scharf, unerbittlich, gnadenlos: poetisch« (Péter Esterházy). Geschrieben in den wenigen freien Stunden, die er der Geschichte abtrotzen konnte. Diese Bedingungen galten noch radikaler für den dokumentarischen Roman Lagervolk. Örkény kam 1942 als jüdischer Arbeitsdienstler an die Ostfront. Das ungarische Armeekorps, in dem er diente, wurde Anfang 1943 am Don vernichtend geschlagen, die Überlebenden gerieten in Kriegsgefangenschaft. Zu Rodungsarbeiten an einer Bahnstation bei Tambow verurteilt, begann Örkény Aufzeichnungen zu machen - »mit etwas Bleistiftähnlichem auf Tabaksbeutel, die mir die Russen gegeben hatten«. Als sich herumsprach, daß er schrieb, strömten seine Leidensgenossen herbei. »Alle beeilten sich, etwas beizutragen: Daten, Erfahrungen, Namen, Tragödien, aber auch Anekdoten. Nicht ich habe dieses Buch geschrieben, sondern dreihunderttausend Ungarn in der Sowjetunion. Ich war nur ihr Chronist.« Zehn Lebensgeschichten, die weit in die Zwischenkriegszeit zurückgreifen, erweitern das Buch zu einer großen Erzählung voller ethnographischer und soziologischer Details. So präzise Hunger, Heimweh und Zwangsarbeit in Das Lagervolk geschildert sind, so unverkennbar atmet das 1947 veröffentlichte Werk den Geist der Hoffnung auf ein neues, freies, humanes Europa.
