        Das Eichhörnchen und der verlorene Schatz

        Ein inspirierendes Bilderbuch für jedes Alter | In hochwertiges Leinen gebunden

        by Coralie Bickford-Smith, Stefanie Jacobs

        Ein zauberhaftes und außergewöhnlich schönes Geschenkbuch von der wunderbaren Künstlerin Coralie Bickford-Smith. Das Eichhörnchen fühlt sich wohl in dem dichten Wald, in dem es lebt. Doch wo soll es seine Eicheln verstecken, wenn überall andere Tiere sind, die sie fressen könnten? Schließlich findet es den perfekten Platz: Auf der Lichtung steht kein einziger Baum und weit und breit ist kein anderes Eichhörnchen zu sehen. Hier müssten die Eicheln sicher sein. Doch als es einige Zeit später an seine Vorräte will, sind die Eicheln verschwunden. Hat sie vielleicht doch jemand stibitzt? Und warum ist die Lichtung nicht mehr so kahl wie beim letzten Mal? Coralie Bickford-Smith hat mit ihrem Eichhörnchen einen wunderbaren kleinen Helden geschaffen, der nicht ahnt, dass er selbst wichtiger Teil eines großen Ganzen ist. Ein zauberhaftes und außergewöhnlich schönes Buch darüber, wie in der Natur immer aufs Neue Leben – und damit Hoffnung – entsteht.

        Ukrainian Artistic Avant-Garde: Manifestos, Essays, Talks, Memoirs, Letters

        by Dmytro Horbachov (editor)

        The publication is an anthology of rear and previously unpublished texts written by thirty-four representatives of the Ukrainian avant-garde: artists who act as critics and scientists; art critics acting as analysts and conceptualists; poets and writers who act as creators and analysts of contemporary artistic forms. The reader receives a thematic, personal, and philosophical variety of views on the creative "systematisation" of the artistic form in Ukrainian visual art of the 1910s-1930s. The reader is put amidst the creative disputes, the struggle of ambitions and the agreements on methodologies, a kaleidoscope of multidirectional search for artistic truth and seclusion in the social inevitability of historical events The genre of the texts vary. From a didactic nature of journalistic essays to the sharpness of manifestos and sometimes angry desperation of discussions — forms a stereoscopic sketch of trends and groups of that time in all the complexity, inconsistency, and therefore poignancy of the proclaimed positions.

        Out of the depths

        The first collection of Holocaust songs

        by Joseph Toltz, Anna Boucher

        Available for the first time in English translation, this collection of songs is a powerful memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. In June 1945, before the full devastation of the Holocaust had emerged, a team of researchers embarked on a remarkable project. While documenting the experiences of Jewish refugees, they began to collect songs composed and sung in the Nazi camps and ghettos. The resulting book, Mima'amakim (Out of the depths), was published in a short run of 500 copies. Today, only a handful survive. Out of the depths: The first collection of Holocaust songs presents the contents of this extraordinary document for a new generation of readers. Based on a copy of Mima'amakim discovered in 2013, it contains not only the songs' melodies and lyrics, the latter in a new translation by Joseph Toltz, but also short biographies of the composers, drawn from painstaking original research. Introductory essays provide historical and musicological background, deepening our knowledge of this terrible event and the creative means by which the Jewish people responded to and endured it. Described by the original editor, Yehuda Eismann, as a 'memorial stone for Polish Jewry', the songbook is a timeless document of a people's despair, hope and strength.

        WHO WE ARE: Indigenous Peoples and National Minorities of Ukraine

        by Bogdan Logvynenko (idea), Daria Titarova (editor)

        Who are we? This is the question that the Ukraїner team has been working on every day for over five years. We tell stories from different parts of Ukraine, and in this way we seek the answer. This book has grown out of a great desire to explore and tell about the people in Ukraine. First of all, it is about the indigenous peoples here, because since July 2021, in addition to Ukrainians, this list has officially included the Crimean Tatars, Krymchaks and Karaites. And also it is about a whole range of national minorities whose representatives appeared on our lands for one reason or another. After all, the history of each people living in the territory of Ukraine is a part of our common history, as ancient and rooted as the formation of the Crimean Tatar people in Crimea and nearby steppe of Prychornomoria, or as fresh as the newly Indian student community in Zakarpattia. With the story of the latter, in 2017 Ukraїner began a series of more than 30 multimedia stories about national minorities of Ukraine, fragments of which became the basis for this book. Most stories are accompanied by QR codes with links, which you can follow to watch the stories. We also set out to tell about the diversity of cultures and thereby answer the question: what are we? The deeper we researched the traditional holidays, cuisine, and symbols of each separate people, the more we found in common.
