September 2024In den Wald
Roman | Was macht man mit einer vermissten Frau, die nicht gefunden werden will?
by Maddalena Vaglio Tanet, Annette Kopetzki
»Gleich mit dem ersten Satz hat uns Maddalena Vaglio Tanet gefangen – und dann entführt sie uns mit ihrer olivgrünen Sprache und erzählt mitreißend von der Tiefe der Ängste und der Weite des Herzens. Als seien Elena Ferrantes Heldinnen in das karge Norditalien gekommen, um sich zwischen zarten Sehnsüchten und herben Enttäuschungen am Ende doch selbst zu finden.« Florian Illies Eines Morgens verschwindet die Lehrerin im Wald. Während das Klassenzimmer leer bleibt und ihre Verwandten Straßen und Bäche absuchen, scheint sie immer mehr mit der sie umgebenden Natur zu verschmelzen. Um sie herum streifen Keiler durch das Unterholz, über den Wipfeln der Birken erklingt der Gesang wilder Vögel. Immer tiefer versinkt sie in einer Decke von Moos und Erinnerungen – sie muss um alles in der Welt den tragischen Tod ihrer Lieblingsschülerin vergessen, der sie in den Wald trieb.Hinter den geschlossenen Fensterläden und in den Straßen des piemontesischen Ortes Biella ist man unterdessen ratlos: Was ist mit Silvia geschehen? Und wer ist sie wirklich? Die gutmütige Lehrerin, für die sie alle halten, oder doch eine Außenseiterin, die etwas zu verbergen hat? Als ein Junge aus der Schule bei einem Streifzug durch den Wald auf die Lehrerin stößt, scheint die Suche ein Ende zu nehmen. Aber was macht man mit einer vermissten Frau, die nicht gefunden werden will? In den Wald ist ein schillernder Roman über unausgesprochene Wahrheiten. Mit perfekt kalibrierter Spannung erzählt Maddalena Vaglio Tanet von dem Kampf einer Frau gegen ihre Geister – und von einem Wald, der Phantasmen heraufbeschwört und Wunden heilt.

Insecticide & herbicide technologyAugust 1996Illustrations of Quarantine Pests for Europe
by Edited by I M Smith, Anne S Roy
This book is a companion volume to Quarantine Pests for Europe, published originally in 1992 by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and CAB INTERNATIONAL (CABI) for the European Union. The previous book provides information on identity, hosts, geographical distribution, biology, detection and identification, means of movement and dispersal, pest significance, phytosanitary measures and a bibliography for all the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, but does not contain any illustrations. A second edition of Quarantine Pests for Europe will be published at the end of 1996. The present book contains approximately 400 colour illustrations, most of them new in relation to the very first illustrations of the EPPO Data Sheets which appeared in Bulletin OEPP/EPPO Bulletin in the 1980s. The book covers most of the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, including those which have been added to the quarantine lists since 1992. Thus it will be compatible with the second edition of the volume of text data sheets. The quarantine pests concerned are either not present in the Euro-Mediterranean region, or only present to a limited extent and submitted to official control measures. The sequence of presentation is as for the text volume, i.e. insects, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses, parasitic plants. Within each chapter, the pest illustrations appear in alphabetical order. An index including scientific names and synonyms is included at the end of the book. Accompanying text is presented in both English and French. Although it has not been possible to illustrate every listed quarantine pest, this book provides a unique collection that will help phytosanitary inspectors, plant health officers, and others working in the field of plant quarantine, or plant protection in general, to recognize and identify quarantine pests. The book is published by EPPO in association with CABI, and is available for sale exclusively through CABI.

Children of the World Illustrate the Bible
by Amos Rolnik
Children of the World Illustrate the Bible It all began when we were looking forward to the fiftieth year Jubilee of the State of Israel. We were looking for a way, something unconventional, to bring Israel to the attention of hundreds of millions of people throughout the world. And so we came up with the idea, rather self-evident: The Bible. The Book of Books, which speaks to each and every one in dozens of countries and countless cultures. We asked ourselves: Who will bring this message? And then the idea came up: A worldwide competition among children to draw the stories of the Bible. We did not limit the subjects. Anything would be accepted as long as it was in line with the stories of the Bible. And wonder of wonders: Just like a fire in a field of thorns, the message went from country to country, from city to city, from school to school, from family to family: The children of the world are drawing the Bible. And the project reached 91 countries. Hundreds of thousands of drawings reached us. Only a handful of the thousands are brought in this album, which is the first in the series of titles flowing from the illustrations that were sent to Israel and were chosen by our staff of curators. And indeed from this handful we can already see their uniqueness. We all know the stories of the Bible, but here they materialize before our very eyes. As the children from five continents described them in their imagination, it seems that even the authors of the Bible themselves would not believe how alive and full were their heroes, as depicted with the brushes of these little children. Not only did we find a drawing of a story, but also a wide rainbow of emotions, notions, beliefs and outlooks of the world. And above all: Personal expression and riveting exposition without filters, analysis or criticism. We conducted the project throughout the world for three years, and at the end, when the thousands of drawings began streaming to the country, we were astounded by this enormous and absorbing crop. We could not avoid falling captives to the charm, strength of expression and intensity of experience that flowed from these drawings. It seems that thanks to the remarkable coming to the rescue by the children of the world, the stories of the Bible won an inspiring, artistic revival.
