Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2024Herminie 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.

October 2016Eine Bildbiographie
by Arno Schmidt, Fanny Esterhazy, Bernd Rauschenbach
Kein anderer Schriftsteller war sich der Bedeutung von Bildern für ein Leben so bewusst wie Arno Schmidt: »Mein Leben?!: ein Tablett voll glitzernder snapshots«, schrieb er in seinem Roman »Aus dem Leben eines Fauns«. Was also wäre adäquater, als Arno Schmidts Leben mit einer Bildbiographie nachzuzeichnen, die mosaikartig das Panorama einer eigenwilligen Schriftstellerexistenz zusammensetzt. Einführende Texte von Bernd Rauschenbach geben einen Überblick über die Stationen von Schmidts Leben – die Kindheit in Hamburg, die Jugend in Schlesien, Kriegszeit und Nachkriegselend, die wiederholten Wohnortwechsel, bis Arno Schmidt in Bargfeld in der Lüneburger Heide die »ihm gemäße Landschaft« findet. Für diese erste umfangreiche Bildbiographie über Arno Schmidt hat die Herausgeberin Fanny Esterházy in Archiven nachgeforscht und Unbekanntes und Verblüffendes zutage gefördert: Fotos, Zeichnungen, Dokumente aller Art, Bücher und Manuskripte, Notizen und Briefe, Zeitungsartikel, Alltägliches und Kurioses. Ergänzt und erläutert wird das vielfältige Material durch Textpassagen aus Arno Schmidts Werk, Auszüge aus den Tagebüchern von Arno und Alice Schmidt sowie Kommentare von Kollegen und Freunden.

December 2015Gift 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.
