        March 2021

        Collector's Edition of Can Xue's Works: Huangni Street

        by Can Xue

        "Huang Ni Street" is Can Xue's debut novel. The work describes people on a street and many things on Huangni Street. Huangni Street is always dirty, even the rain is gray. Can Xue made a detailed description of this street, but this description is different from the description of ordinary writers, with a big jump in thinking and no consistent storyline. There are simple characters and simple stories. Can Xue's first novel constructed Can Xue's very significant writing characteristics later, and these rich images give readers a very special reading experience. Can Xue breaks the usual thinking and framework of traditional novels, and has the typical characteristics of Can Xue from the beginning.

        Herminie and Fanny Pereire

        Elite Jewish women in nineteenth-century France

        by Helen M. Davies

        Herminie and Fanny Pereire were sisters-in-law, married to the eminent Jewish bankers and Saint-Simonian socialists Emile and Isaac. They were also mother and daughter. This book, a companion to the author's acclaimed Emile and Isaac Pereire (2015), sheds new light on elite Jewish families in nineteenth-century France. Drawing on the family archives, it traces the Pereires across a century of major social and political change, from the Napoleonic period to the cusp of the First World War, revealing the active role they played as bourgeois women both within and outside the family. It offers insights into Jewish assimilation, embourgeoisement and gender relations, through the lens of one of the most fascinating families of the century.

        Die amerikanische Ausdruckswelt

        by José Lezama Lima, Gerhard Poppenberg, José Prats Sariol, Carlos Fuentes

        José Lezama Lima (1910 - 1976) wurde in La Habana geboren. Er studierte Jura und praktizierte als Rechtsanwalt - lebenserhaltender Nebenberuf dieses umfassend gebildeten und belesenen Dichters. Er wurde später zum Leiter der Literatur- und Publikationsabteilung des Consejo Nacional de Cultura, des kubanischen Kulturrates, und ab 1962 betätigte er sich als Vizepräsident des kubanischen Schriftsteller- und Künstlerverbandes (UNEAC). Außerdem wurde er zum Assessor im Literaturinstitut der Academia de Ciencias, der Wissenschaftsakademie, ernannt. Er verließ Kuba insgesamt nur zweimal, als er 1949 Jamaika und 1950 Mexiko besuchte. Seinem Roman Paradiso (1966), der ihm weltweite Anerkennung einbrachte, waren seit 1937 avantgardistische Lyrik und Essays vorausgegangen. Lezama Lima gab die literarische Zeitschrift Orígenes heraus, die bald zu den wichtigsten hispanoamerikanischen Kulturzeitschriften zählte. Sowohl Paradiso als auch Orígenes waren von außerordentlich hoher Bedeutung für das kubanische Geistesleben und entwickelten sich zu starken Bezugspunkten für das literarische Schaffen in Kuba und Lateinamerika. Lezama Lima gab außerdem die Zeitschriften Verbum (1937), Espuela de Plata (1939- 41) und Nadie parecía (1942- 44) heraus. In seinem ebenfalls berühmten Essay La expresión americana (dt. Die amerikanische Ausdruckswelt) - wie alle Werke von Lezama Lima sehr komplex und außerordentlich gebildet - geht er der lateinamerikanischen kulturellen Identität nach und prägt für sie den Begriff des "Barocken". Julio Cortázar und Mario Vargas Llosa haben, was seine Bedeutung für die Weltliteratur angeht, den Roman Paradiso mit Marcel Prousts Auf der Suche nach den verlorenen Zeit und James Joyces Ulysses verglichen

        Gift of the Dark Mother Earth

        by Can Xue

        Gift of the Dark Mother Earth, the latest novel by Can Xue, is a profound metaphor of her hometown. It follows her usual magical style in the sense that it vividly unfolds the complex and delicate inner world of the characters. The story takes place in the remote Wuliqu School, with such distinctive characters as Teacher Meiyong, Zhang Danzhi, Yutian, Xiao Man, Uncle Yun and Sha Men presented one after another. The personality and human nature exposed through unique dialogues enable the readers to feel a return to simplicity so that they want to explore human soul and nature and start in-depth reading and thinking. The book depicts petty matters in a great age. The author’s ambition is to create a feeling for the pattern of the whole universe through the structure of an ordinary tree leaf, and to unify the arbitrarily split world through the narration of various folk sundries so that different characters can all become the center of this unity and their performance can have a universality. As the only Chinese writer who has won the Best Translated Book Award in the United States, Can Xue was nominated for the foreign novel prize of The Independent of the UK and shortlisted in the Neustadt International Prize for Literature of the US. As the Chinese woman writer, whose works have been translated and published the most abroad, Can Xue has been called the most creative Chinese writer by overseas critics.

        Reise in das unbekannte Land des Vertrauens

        Ein wahres Märchen über die Sehnsucht so angenommen zu werden, wie wir sind

        by André Stern

        Der Bestsellerautor André Stern begibt sich auf der Suche nach dem Wesen des Vertrauens durch eine Welt voller Grenzen, Trennungen und Misstrauen. Feinsinnig, philosophisch und zum Nachdenken anregend konfrontiert die Leser mit den uns selbstverständlich erscheinenden Erwartungen und Bewertungen, die das Vertrauen in uns selbst und in andere beeinflussen, schädigen oder stören können – immer verbunden mit dem tiefen inneren Wunsch jedes Menschen, so angenommen zu werden, wie wir sind. André Stern hält uns in diesem wahren Märchen in bildstarker, poetischer Sprache den Spiegel vor und er beleuchtet Seiten – Winkel, Details aber auch das große Ganze –, die wir so noch nicht gesehen haben. Dieses Buch ist ein Herzöffner.

        The Barefoot Doctor

        The Barefoot Doctor

        by Can Xue

        The novel tells of the story about the growth of a barefoot doctor in a village. By means of the experiences of Sister Yi the barefoot doctor, Mi Yi, Hui Ju and other characters, the author manages to expose the real dependence relationship between man and nature, and between man and man, so as to construct a new kind of relationship in the future world from a brand-new perspective with lots of astounding descriptions. The scenes depicted in the novel belong to the future world, the plots, however, firmly stick to the reality. Thus the real and free conceptions in the novel are both down-to-earth and overwhelmingly shocking, from which every ordinary reader can find resonance and gain strength for life in it. Once again, the outlook of philosophy and nature of Can Xue has delicately and simply stood out in the novel in a literary way.

        Naming security - constructing identity

        ‘Mayan-women’ in Guatemala on the eve of ‘peace’

        by Maria Stern

        How do people seek security in relation to their sense of 'who they are'? How can one make sense of insecurity at the intersection of competing identity claims? Based on the voices of Mayan women, Stern critically re-considers the connections between security, subjectivity and identity. By engaging in a careful reading of how Mayan women 'speak' security in relation to the different contexts that inform their lives, she explores the multiplicity of both identity and security, and questions the main story of security imbedded in the modern 'paradox of sovereignty.' Her provocative analysis thus raises vital questions about what might constitute 'security', and the 'insecurity' that is its inevitable supplement. Her study also offers an innovative methodology that bridges many different disciplines and substantively develops the method of 'reading' politics as a 'textual practice'. It will be essential reading for students of security, identity politics, feminism, and Latin American studies.

Für Kinder ist das freie Spiel ein Bedürfnis. Eine Veranlagung, ein Hang, oft ein Drang. Es ist für das Kind eine tiefe Erfüllung.« André Stern

        Cultural and Ethnic Diversity

        How European Psychologists Can Meet the Challenges

        by Alexander Thomas

        Culture and diversity are both challenge and opportunity. This volume looks at what psychologists are and can be doing to help society meet the challenges and grasp the opportunities in education, at work, and in clinical practice. The increasingly international and globalized nature of modern societies means that psychologists in particular face new challenges and have new opportunities in all areas of practice and research. The contributions from leading European experts cover relevant intercultural issues and topics in areas as diverse as personality, education and training, work and organizational psychology, clinical and counselling psychology, migration and international youth exchanges. As well as looking at the new challenges and opportunities that psychologists face in dealing with people from increasingly varied cultural backgrounds, perhaps more importantly they also explain and discuss how psychologists can deepen and acquire the intercultural competencies that are now needed in our professional lives.   Target Group: psychotherapists / clinical psychologists / mental health professionals
