        Frau Jenny Treibel oder »Wo sich Herz zum Herzen find't«

        Roman

        by Theodor Fontane, Richard Brinkmann

        Die Berliner Kommerzienrätin Jenny Treibel hat einen Hang zum Poetischen und Schwärmerischen – was sie nicht davon abhält, geschickt eine unstandesgemäße Heirat ihres Sohnes zu verhindern. »Frau Jenny Treibel«, erschienen 1892, gilt als der witzigste Roman Fontanes. »Das herrlichste, was wir haben, ist doch die Sprache«, heißt es im Roman, und in der Tat: Mehr andeutend als ausführend, geben die Dialoge ein klares und umfassendes Bild der Sprechenden und der Welt, in der sie leben.

        Fritz, the Gorilla

        Biography of a Fascinating Ape

        by Jenny von Sperber

        When Jenny von Sperber first met Fritz, the gorilla didn’t let her out of his sight. He was already over 50 years old then, but he was still extremely charismatic. One thing matters for the journalist: she wants to find out everything about Fritz’s life. Born in 1963, he was captured in the wild and came from Cameroon to Germany in 1966. At that time, apes were still regarded as a curiosity in zoos. When a ban was declared on the wild gorilla trade, Fritz was already a father of many youngsters. This fascinating gorilla-family saga not only recounts the eventful life of Fritz, but also shows the development in European zoos in handling wild animals. Nowadays, things have certainly improved. But there are still questions, for example, what does it do to us when we marvel at our closest relatives behind glass? And is it even still current to confine apes ... was it ever?

        Kill your Darling!

        13 Trennungsstorys, die Geschichte machten

        by Jennifer Wright, Jenny Merling

        Stell dir vor, du sitzt mit einer Packung Eiscreme in der einen, einer Flasche Gin in der anderen Hand auf dem Sofa, Tränen rinnen deine Wangen hinab und du wiederholst mantrahaft, wie sehr du deinen Ex geliebt hast. Lass dir gesagt sein: Es könnte viel schlimmer sein! Du könntest beispielsweise von deinem Verflossenen enthauptet werden, aus Rache fremde Männer kastrieren oder das Leben mit einer Sexpuppe verbringen. In Kill your Darling! präsentiert die New Yorker Journalistin Jennifer Wright die dreizehn skurrilsten und blutigsten Schlussmachepisoden der Geschichte – vom Massenmörder Nero bis hin zu Oskar Kokoschka –, boshaft-ironisch und doch mit der richtigen Dosis Empathie. Ein Buch für alle, die geliebt haben und verlassen wurden; für alle, die spätnachts zu viele Wut-E-Mails an ihre Verflossenen geschickt haben. Mit diesen Storys wird schnell klar: Was auch immer passiert ist, es hätte noch viel, viel schlimmer kommen können …

        Rebellische Frauen - Women in Battle

        150 Jahre Kampf für Freiheit, Gleichheit, Schwesterlichkeit. Graphic Novel

        by Marta Breen, Jenny Jordahl, Nora Pröfrock

        Marta Breen, in ihrer Heimat Norwegen einer der profiliertesten Feministinnen, und Jenny Jordahl, preisgekrönte Illustratorin, geben mit befreiendem Humor und erfrischenden Illustrationen einen neuen Blick auf Frauen unserer Geschichte, darunter Rosa Luxemburg, Emmeline Pankhurst, Sojourner Truth, Margaret Sanger und Malala Yousafzai. Hier werden engagiert, leichtfüßig und pointiert die Geschichten all der furchtlosen Frauen erzählt, die seit über 150 Jahren und bis heute leidenschaftlich für die Rechte der Frauen auf der ganzen Welt kämpfen: Für das Recht, zu wählen. Für das Recht über den eigenen Körper zu bestimmen. Für das Recht, zu leben wie, und zu lieben, wen man will. Und für wirtschaftliche Unabhängigkeit, für Bildung und Beruf. Eine kraftvolle Hommage an den Mut und den Willen der Frauen, die für ihre Rechte kämpfen und gekämpft haben. Und ein Appell dafür, weiterhin zu kämpfen!

        Really Great, Heros! (2). What on Earth are we Doing Here?

        by Rüdiger Bertram/ Heribert Schulmeyer

        Juli can’t wait for the holidays. His cousin Jenny and he can once more go to her uncle’s Superhero Hotel. Maybe the next superhero adventure will be awaiting them there? Indeed it is: the evil Snakeman has created an army of mutated giant rabbits, whose underground tunnels threaten one city after another with complete collapse. And as the real superheroes are still lazing around at the swimming pool, and Bruce suddenly has to go and defend the world against an alien invasion, it’s once more left to Juli and Jenny to prevent this disaster! Armed with nothing more than a cheap pair of X-ray laser glasses with which they can see through walls, doors and even people’s clothes (villains in underpants – not a pretty sight!). And while Juli is still asking “What on earth are we doing here?” he and Jenny find themselves in the middle of a crazy adventure that takes them all round the world – across the desert, through London, and on to Paris! Can Juli and Jenny stop the evil villain and his giant rabbits in time?

        No masters but God

        Portraits of anarcho-Judaism

        by Hayyim Rothman

        The forgotten legacy of religious Jewish anarchism, and the adventures and ideas of its key figures, finally comes to light in this book. Set in the decades surrounding both world wars, No masters but God identifies a loosely connected group of rabbis and traditionalist thinkers who explicitly appealed to anarchist ideas in articulating the meaning of the Torah, traditional practice, Jewish life and the mission of modern Jewry. Full of archival discoveries and first translations from Yiddish and Hebrew, it explores anarcho-Judaism in its variety through the works of Yaakov Meir Zalkind, Yitshak Nahman Steinberg, Yehudah Leyb Don-Yahiya, Avraham Yehudah Heyn, Natan Hofshi, Shmuel Alexandrov, Yehudah Ashlag and Aaron Shmuel Tamaret. With this ground-breaking account, Hayyim Rothman traces a complicated story about the modern entanglement of religion and anarchism, pacifism and Zionism, prophetic anti-authoritarianism and mystical antinomianism.
