        Das verwunschene Versteck

        Fantasievolles Bilderbuch für Kinder ab 4 Jahren

        by Susanna Mattiangeli, Felicita Sala, Stefanie Jacobs

        »Beeil dich, wir müssen los!«, ruft eine Stimme nach Hannah. Doch sie hat sich versteckt und gerade gar keine Zeit zum Aufbrechen. Hannah muss Raupen sammeln, Pfeil und Bogen basteln und Holz fürs Lagerfeuer sammeln. Von ihrem geheimen Versteck weiß nur das Seltsame Pelzmonster, ein eigenartiges flauschiges Wesen, mit dem Hannah sich angefreundet hat. Gemeinsam machen es sich die beiden dort gemütlich und schlafen auf einem Bett aus Blättern. Doch dann dringt aus der Ferne eine Stimme zu ihr: »Wo bist du?« … Und Hannah wischt die Radiergummikrümel zur Seite und wirft schnell noch einen Blick auf das Bild, das sie gemalt hat: von sich und dem Seltsamen Pelzmonster in ihrem verwunschenen Versteck. Ein Buch über die unendliche Kraft der Fantasie, uns in neue Welten zu entführen, mit zauberhaften Bildern der international gefeierten Illustratorin Felicita Sala.

        Cinema - Italy

        by Stefania Parigi, Des O'Rawe

        A journey to the Italian cinema that overturns established views and opens up new perspectives and interpretations. Its itinerary is organized in four stages. The first is an analysis of the theories of Cesare Zavattini on neorealism which overturns widely accepted positions both on Zavattini and on neorealism. The second confronts a key film of the post-war Italian cinema, Roberto Rossellini's Paisà, by examining the nature of its realism. The third is dedicated to Luchino Visconti: to questions of the use of language exemplified in his La terra trema, the use of settings, costume and light as agents of meaning in his Il Gattopardo and Vaghe stelle dell'Orsa. The final voyage of the film is to the physical and symbolic construction of heaven and earth in the work of Pasolini. Particular attention is given to the representation of the body in his last four films: the grotesque and mythical bodies in popular tradition in his Trilogia di vita and the tortured bodies destroyed by the mass media in Salò. ;

        Der Oktopus haut ab

        Seine aufregende Reise zurück ins Meer | Kinderbuch ab 3 Jahre

        by Maile Meloy, Felicita Sala, Stefanie Jacobs

        Glücklich wohnt der Oktopus in einer Höhle im Meer. Er schaut den bunten Fischen zu, die vorbeischwimmen, und ab und an fängt er sich einen leckeren Krebs. Doch sein beschauliches Leben hat ein jähes Ende, als ein Forschungsteam ihn gefangen nimmt und in ein Aquarium bringt. Hier soll der Tintenfisch zeigen, wie schlau er ist. Mit seinen Fähigkeiten begeistert er zwar die Menschen, nur ihm selbst ist bei all diesen öden Experimenten schrecklich langweilig. Und noch nicht einmal sein Abendessen darf er sich selbst fangen. Die Menschen merken gar nicht, wie sehr er sich nach der Freiheit und dem Meer zurücksehnt. Kein Wunder also, dass der clevere Oktopus bei der nächsten Gelegenheit ausbüxt – und sich auf den weiten Weg zurück in sein geliebtes Zuhause macht. Mit leuchtend farbenfrohen Illustrationen erzählt dieses Buch von den Abenteuern eines Oktopus, der Sehnsucht nach seinem Zuhause und dem Mut, Grenzen zu überwinden. Eine einzigartige Geschichte über eines der schlauesten und faszinierendsten Lebewesen der Erde. Empfohlen ab 3 Jahren

        by Ammi-Joan Paquette, Felicita Sala, Stefanie Jacobs

        Eines Tages bekommt Emilia von ihrem Großvater ein ganz besonderes Geschenk: eine Walnuss. Nur mit so einer Nuss in der Tasche und einem kleinen Koffer reiste ihr Opa einst übers Meer in ein neues, unbekanntes Land. Inzwischen ist daraus der große Baum in Großvaters Garten geworden, der ihn an seine Heimat erinnert. Gemeinsam staunen sie, wie auch aus Emilias Walnuss nach und nach ein Bäumchen wird. Doch während es in seinem Topf auf der Fensterbank wächst und gedeiht, wird ihr Großvater zusehends schwächer – bis sie sich eines Tages von ihm verabschieden muss. Emilias Bäumchen sieht so traurig aus, wie sie sich fühlt … doch sie weiß, was sie zu tun hat. Einfühlsam erzählt dieses Buch vom Kreislauf des Lebens und davon, dass alle guten Dinge Zeit zum Wachsen brauchen. Es erinnert daran, dass geliebte Menschen stets ein Teil von uns bleiben, selbst wenn sie nicht mehr da sind.

      • I Follow The Voices of Soft, Quiet Goddesses

        by Hugo Roca Joglar

        There is an idea by D.H. Lawrence: 'we are the secret dreams of our grandmothers.' But not the dreams they openly accepted and pursued, rather the secret dreams: those they denied, and merely thinking about them plunged them into fear and guilt. This Hugo Roca's definitive exploration of this concept: It begins with the death of his grandmother and ends with the imminent birth of his daughter, and in between, he narrates his struggle to establish a different flow, where through a process of re-educating himself (which leads to confront the most horrible demons of his lineage), he seeks to stop lying and to have no more secrets: to decipher his hidden dreams so as not to pass on the curse of embodying them to his daughter. A narrative that redefines parenthood and embarks on a profound quest for new forms of beauty.

        The Countess and the Organ Player

        by Cesia Hirshbein

        In the historical context of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the height of the Romantic era, the 19th century, Anton Bruckner, the famous Austrian composer and organist, falls in love with the imposing Countess Henriette. She had been appointed lady-in-waiting to Princess Charlotte of Belgium, the wife of Prince Maximilian of Habsburg, to attend to her during the couple's Mexican endeavor. They had been named Emperor and Empress of Mexico and would embark on a journey to America for this mission. Bruckner meets the countess by chance at the funeral of Maximilian, who had been assassinated in Querétaro in 1867, during the so-called Second Mexican Empire. On the recommendation of a musician friend of Henriette's, who sees him at the funeral, she takes piano lessons with Bruckner. When she tells him that she had accompanied the empress to Mexico, the composer becomes enchanted. He admired Maximilian and was passionate about Mexico; he had even wanted to accompany the emperor. Ultimately, the only trips he made were to give organ concerts in London and another at Notre Dame in Paris. Between classes, the countess tells him of the Atlantic crossing, the arrival in Veracruz, and the entrance to Mexico City. Gradually, they grow closer. In one of his concerts, Bruckner meets Franz Liszt, who was a patron of Maximilian's empire in Mexico. Meanwhile, the countess and the organist plan a Requiem, which will be the turning point between them.

        The Animal Mirror

        by Zakarías Zafra

        Tapachula, Chiapas: a small city on the southern border of Mexico bearing the weight of a continental migratory crisis. Migrants trapped between bureaucracy, misery, and violence. Tens of thousands of bodies halted in front of the invisible wall of the United States. This book seeks to explore migration from the inside out. Its field of exploration encompasses not only the physical border but also the narrator's personal experience as an immigrant in Mexico. It is a hybrid work that weaves through chronicles, personal essays, autobiography, and travel writing, considering the migratory phenomenon not just as a collapse but as a space for profound subjective elaboration. The story of a religious leader expelled from Angola, the adventures of a former Colombian guerrilla threatened by the dissident factions of the FARC, and the nostalgia of an exiled Sandinista from Daniel Ortega's dictatorship blend in a common chorus with the narrator’s voice, son of a father killed by the Venezuelan state and a mother seeking asylum in Mexico. More than a chronicle, "El espejo animal" seeks to be a spoken portrait of migration in Latin America. It is an artifact that enables and amplifies the voices of migrants where they cannot be heard.
