        Michael Winterbottom
        The Arts
        January 2019

        Michael Winterbottom

        by Brian McFarlane, Deane Williams, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard

        This is the first book-length study of the most prolific and most critically acclaimed director working in British cinema today. Michael Winterbottom has also established himself, and his company, Revolution Films, as a dynamic force in world cinema. No other British director can claim such an impressive body of work in such a variety of genres, from road movie to literary adaptation, from musical to sex film, to stories of contemporary political significance. The authors of this book use a range of critical approaches to analyse the filmmaker's eclectic interests in cinema and the world at large. With this in mind, the realist elements of such films as Welcome to Sarajevo are examined in the light of a long history of cinema's dealings with realism, as far back as post-war Italian neo-realist filmmaking; whereas Jude and The claim are approached as both literary adaptations (a continuing strand in British cinema history) and examples of other reworked genres (the road movie, the western). This lively study of his work, written in a wholly accessible style, will engage all those who have followed his career as well as those with a wide-ranging interest in British cinema.

        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.

        by Coralie Bickford-Smith, Stefanie Jacobs

        »Er wusste, dass irgendwo dort oben ein Stern stand, der einst seiner gewesen war.« Der Fuchs lebt in einem tiefen, dunklen Wald.

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

        Barbara Comyns

        A savage innocence

        by Avril Horner

        The extraordinary twentieth-century writer Barbara Comyns led a life as captivating as the narratives she spun. This pioneering biography reveals the journey of a woman who experienced hardship and single-motherhood before the age of thirty but went on to publish a sequence of novels that are unique in the English language. Comyns turned her hand to many jobs in order to survive, from artist's model to restoring pianos. Hundreds of unpublished letters reveal an occasionally desperate but resourceful and witty woman whose complicated life ranged from enduring poverty when young to mixing with spivs, spies and high society. While working as a housekeeper in her mid-thirties, Comyns began transforming the bleak episodes of her life into compelling fictions streaked with surrealism and deadpan humour. The Vet's Daughter (1959), championed by Graham Greene, brought her fame, although her use of the gothic and macabre divided readers and reviewers. This biography not only excavates Comyns's life but also reclaims her fiction, providing a timely reassessment of her literary contribution. It sheds new light on a remarkable author who deftly captured the complexities of human life.

        The silence of Barbara Synge

        by Bill McCormack

        'The silence of Barbara Synge' provides a fascinating companion volume to Bill McCormack's acclaimed 'Fool of the family' (2000), a biography of the playwright J.M. Synge (1871-1909). Taking the alledged death of Mrs John Hatch (née Synge) in 1767 as a focal point, this book explores the varied strands of the Synge family tree in eighteenth and nineteenth century Ireland. Key events in the family's history are carefully documented, including a suicide in 1769 which is echoed in an early Synge play, the effects of the famine which influenced 'The playboy of the western world' in 1907, and the behaviour of Francis Synge at the time of the union. 'The silence of Barbara Synge' is a unique work of cultural enquiry, combining archival research, literary criticism, and religious and medical history to pull the strands together and relate them to the family's literary descendent J.M. Synge. ;

        Spielen, um zu fühlen, zu lernen und zu leben

        by André Stern, Petra Thorbrietz

        André Stern, der mit seinem Buch …und ich war nie in der Schule einen Bestseller landete und seither auf Veranstaltungen Säle füllt, hat ein fesselndes Plädoyer für bedingungsloses Vertrauen in die natürliche Entwicklung unserer Kinder verfasst. Statt Leistungsoptimierung und Konkurrenzdenken setzt er auf die individuelle Entwicklung und das eigene Tempo des Kindes.»Das Spiel ist für das Kind die direkte Art, sich mit dem Alltag, mit sich und mit der Welt zu verbinden. 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

        Novellen

        by László Darvasi, Heinrich Eisterer

        Es gibt Geschichten, die man nie wieder vergißt. Ein Förster findet im Wald einen menschlichen Arm, in die Erde gekrallt, noch warm, er muß mit ungeheurer Kraft ausgerissen worden sein – doch der dazugehörige Körper bleibt unauffindbar. Bevor im buchstäblich letzten Satz der Novelle das Rätsel gelöst wird, hören wir die Leidensgeschichte des Herrn Stern, eines Privatgelehrten, der im vollbesetzten städtischen Konzertsaal philosophische Vorträge hält und dem eines Tages die Wörter verlorengehen; als wäre da jemand, der sie ihm stiehlt. Sein Unglück ist so bizarr und tragisch, obszön und komisch wie gelegentlich das Leben selbst, dessen »Besitzern« in einem Augenblick alle Gewißheit über Wahrheit und Lüge, Schuld und Unschuld abhanden kommen kann.Von dieser Erfahrung erzählt László Darvasi, der begnadete Hermeneut des Unbegreiflichen, in seinen Novellen.

        Schatten und Licht

        by Anne Stern

The young woman is devastated because her neighbour was found dead in the Landwehrkanal; allegedly a tragic accident.

        Roman

        by Michal Witkowski, Olaf Kühl

        Tagsüber ist Hubert Kleinganove und betreibt eine Pfandleihe im Kohlenpott Polens der achtziger Jahre. Nachts vor dem Spiegel und mit Perlen geschmückt nennt er sich Barbara Radziwill – nach der Königin von Polen und Großfürstin von Litauen. Sein Geld verdient er mit »Baguette überbacken«, dem Dönerkebab der Volksrepublik. Und mit gestohlenen Chrysanthemen vom Friedhof. Wenn es eine Schuld einzutreiben gilt, sind seine »Hofdamen« zur Stelle, Sascha und Felus. Die beiden Ukrainer wissen, wie sie ihn um den Finger wickeln können. Michal Witkowski, ein Meister der Vielstimmigkeit, verwebt den Slang der Straße mit der sarmatischen Adelsplauderei zu einer Lebensbeichte, vergleichbar einem Mix aus Dorota Maslowskas Reiherkönigin und Grimmelshausens Simplicissimus.

        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.

        The politics of male friendship in contemporary American fiction

        by Michael Kalisch

        How might our friendships shape our politics? This book examines how contemporary American fiction has rediscovered the concept of civic friendship and revived a long tradition of imagining male friendship as interlinked with the promises and paradoxes of democracy in the United States. Bringing into dialogue the work of a wide range of authors - including Philip Roth, Paul Auster, Michael Chabon, Jonathan Lethem, Dinaw Mengestu, and Teju Cole - this innovative study advances a compelling new account of the political and intellectual fabric of the American novel today.

        The novel narrates the “possible” amour of Lady X, which arouses the discussion of local people. Every character has his own view towards this event which even acquires a more vital status than the event itself. The characteristic narration style of Can Xue has imbued the ordinary event with distinct aesthetic connotation.

        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.

        Blankow oder Das Verlangen nach Heimat

        by Pauline Bok, Waltraud Hüsmert

        Pauline de Bok nimmt sich eine Auszeit vom Großstadtleben und zieht sich zurück aufs Land. Mit ihrem Hund läßt sie sich auf einem Gehöft nördlich von Berlin nieder. In den verfallenen Gebäuden stößt die Journalistin auf Reste des Lebens voriger Bewohner, sie stöbert auf Dachböden, in Kellern und Archiven, befragt Einheimische. Sie folgt den Spuren, die Menschen und Zeiten hinterlassen haben, und setzt die vergessenen Geschichten von Land und Leuten zusammen: »Das Land, das scheinbar stumm und stoisch Wetter und Weltgeschehen über sich ergehen lässt, es beginnt zu sprechen.« Welt am Sonntag
