        Die Nachahmung der Rose

        by Clarice Lispector, Curt Meyer-Clason, Curt Meyer-Clason

        Clarice Lispector wurde 1925 in der Ukraine als Tochter jüdischer Eltern geboren, die bald nach Brasilien emigrierten. Sie wuchs in Recife, im armen Nordosten des Landes auf, zog aber später nach Rio de Janeiro, wo sie Schule und Jurastudium absolvierte. 1944 veröffentlichte sie -19jährig - ihren ersten Roman Perto do Coração Selvagem (dt. Nahe dem wilden Herzen) und löste eine kleine Sensation aus, da sie sich in ihrem Schreiben von der vorherrschenden literarischen Tendenz des "regionalismo" abwandte, der es sich zum Ziel gemacht hatte, die soziale Realität des Landes so genau als möglich festzuhalten. Clarice Lispector eröffnete, geprägt sowohl vom Existenzialismus als auch von Virginia Woolf, eine in Brasilien vollkommen neue literarische Strömung - von der Kritik hoch gelobt -, die radikal subjektiv auf die Erforschung innerer Wirklichkeit abzielt. Im selben Jahr heiratete sie einen brasilianischen Diplomaten, mit dem sie 1945-49 in Italien und der Schweiz und 1952-59 in den USA lebte. Nach der Scheidung ließ sie sich mit ihren zwei Söhnen in Rio nieder und war als Journalistin und Übersetzerin tätig. In ihren weiteren Romanen, wie A Cidade Sitiada (dt. Von Traum zu Traum) und auch A paixão segundo G.H (dt. Die Passion nach G.H.), erforscht sie mit immer ausgefeilteren erzähltechnischen und stilistischen Mitteln das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Realität und seelischer Erfahrung. Auch ihre Erzählungen, veröffentlicht in insgesamt drei Bänden, kreisen immer wieder um die bestürzende Realität, die hinter der Fassade des Familienalltags lauert. In ihrem letzten zu Lebzeiten veröffentlichten Kurzroman, A Hora de Estrela (dt. Die Sternstunde), setzt sie sich mit dem Verhältnis von Wirklichkeit und Fiktion im schöpferischen Prozeß auseinander und kritisiert schriftstellerische Allmachtsphantasien - ihr poetologisches Vermächtnis. Clarice Lispector starb 1977 in Rio de Janeiro.   Clarice Lispector, "grande dame" der dichterischen Prosa in Brasilien.

        Rot oder weiß?

        Geschichten vom Wein

        by Susanne Gretter, Hans-Ulrich Müller-Schwefe

        Wer nur Wasser trinkt, hat etwas zu verbergen«, schrieb Baudelaire. Dieses Buch aber plaudert aus, welche Wirkungen Schriftstellerinnen und Dichter dem Wein, ob rot oder weiß, allein in den letzten hundert Jahren angedichtet, nachgesagt und zugesungen haben: wieviel an Hochstimmung, Witz und Glück – aber auch an Melancholie und Verzweiflung. Von Weinkultur und Weingenuß, von geselligen Trinkern und Trinkgelagen, von Weinliebhabern und Quartalssäufern erzählen Sherwood Anderson, Marguerite Duras, Patricia Highsmith, Hermann Hesse, James Joyce, Clarice Lispector, Fernando Pessoa, Jean Rhys, Georges Simenon und viele andere.

Her utterly unique style complements Lispector’s like no other.

        Los mejores días

        by Magalí Etchebarne

        Certain events unfold, exquisitely and poetically, until we reach an illuminating passage: the precise moment of learning something important. With rare maturity for someone in her thirties, in the manner of Clarice Lispector, Lorrie Moore, or Grace Paley, these stories are a space for inquiry. Undoubtedly, this first book by Magalí Etchebarne is the best possible beginning to a work. It is also the book we all wish we could write someday. I Acevedo

        by David García Cames, Miguel Ángel Ortiz and Marcel Beltran

        Football breaks down all doors, including those of literature. Contrary to popular belief, there are many writers who at some point were attracted by the mystery of the goal or the fervor of the stands. The ball sneaks into the work and life of authors who have built bridges between these two apparently dissociated worlds. From Marguerite Duras to Eduardo Galeano, passing through Albert Camus, Roberto Bolaño, Svetlana Aleksiévich or Federico García Lorca. This book is 90 games that were played one day. This book is made up of 90 stories, halfway between the chronicle and the tale, with which tribute is paid to 90 extraordinary creators who have influenced our way of understanding football.

        Crónicas de melancolía eufórica

        by Mario de Andrade / Rosario Lázaro Igoa / Martín Verges

        Las crónicas de Mário de Andrade (1893-1945), dan cuenta tanto de un paisaje exterior como de una mirada íntima. No se trata del registro que podría realizar una cámara objetiva dispuesta a explorar la realidad del mundo visible, sino de una experiencia privada que se proyecta sobre todas las cosas como una luz indirecta y reveladora. Así, el cronista se sube a un ómnibus en Sâo Paulo o a una barcaza que lo llevará a remontar el Amazonas, y su viaje siempre es doble, a la vez hacia afuera y hacia lo profundo, y no es posible diferenciar uno del otro. De Andrade es un finísimo observador capaz de perderse en ensoñaciones ensimismadas, ideas febriles, alucinadas, que repentinamente adquieren una brillante lucidez. El obsequio que cada uno de los textos seleccionados y reunidos aquí nos ofrece es participar de la forma en que una sensibilidad poderosa, delirante y lúdica permite que las fuerzas de la vida la atraviesen, eufórica y melancólicamente a un tiempo, sin contradicción alguna.

        Encélado

        by Amaya García Arregui y Alberto Mínguez

        When the space shuttle Sila V takes off for the far reaches of the Solar System, it does so with the wrong crew: twelve children. The boys and girls, selected by WASA (the future NASA) to promote the Lunae 2 mission, come from twelve different countries and have very different social backgrounds. Faced with the impossibility of turning around, and during the two years of the trip, they will have to live in a framework of isolation and multiple difficulties, such as the demands of a hard training, the low gravity or the unknowns regarding their unexpected take-off.
