        Die unvergleichliche Miss Kopp und ihre Schwestern

        Roman

        by Amy Stewart, Sabine Hedinger

        »Ich bekam einen Revolver, um uns zu verteidigen«, sagte Constance, »und ich machte bald davon Gebrauch.« New Jersey 1914: Die Schwestern Constance, Norma und Fleurette führen ein zurückgezogenes Leben auf ihrer kleinen Farm unweit von New York – bis ein Unfall ihr Leben auf den Kopf stellt und ein reicher Fabrikant ihnen übel mitspielt. Doch der hat nicht mit Constance gerechnet. Die junge Frau, die fast jeden Mann um Haupteslänge überragt, nimmt unerschrocken den Kampf um ihr Recht auf. Selbst Schlägertrupps, die die Farm der Schwestern heimsuchen, können sie nicht einschüchtern. Mit allen Mitteln verteidigt sie ihr Leben und das ihrer Schwestern und zeigt den Halunken, wo es lang geht. Das hat das kleine Städtchen noch nicht gesehen – und ernennt Constance zum ersten weiblichen Sheriff … Ein turbulenter und höchst unterhaltsamer Roman der New-York-Times-Bestseller-Autorin Amy Stewart über den ersten weiblichen Sheriff – »mit den unvergesslichsten und mitreißendsten Frauenfiguren, die mir seit langem begegnet sind. Ich habe jede Seite geliebt … eine Geschichte, die zu gut ist, um wahr zu sein (aber meistens wahr!)«. Elizabeth Gilbert

        Allen Gewalten zum Trutz sich erhalten

        Gedichte und Bilder

        by Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Hans-Joachim Simm

        In Liedern auf die Liebe und die Freundschaft, in Hymnen auf das Unendliche und in Versen voller Einsicht und Weisheit hat Goethe das Leben bedichtet und besungen. Jede Gelegenheit konnte Anlaß sein für ein Gedicht, in freien Rhythmen oder in strengen Strophen, in Sonetten oder Epigrammen – Dichtung als Spiegel des Lebens und als Fluchtraum zugleich. Goethes Haltung zur Welt zeigen die in diesem Band versammelten Gedichte, ebenso wie seine Zeichnungen und Aquarelle. Im entschiedenen Eintreten für die Wahrheit und in ihrem Appell zur Selbstbestimmung sind sie heute noch genauso aktuell wie 1777, als die Verse für das Singspiel Lila entstanden: »Allen Gewalten / Zum Trutz sich erhalten, / Nimmer sich beugen, / Kräftig sich zeigen, / Rufet die Arme / Der Götter herbei!«

        Querido Diego, Te abraza Quiela by Elena Poniatowska

        by Elena Poniatowska

        by Nathanial Gardner

        One of the threads that runs through Elena Poniatowska's oeuvre is that of foreigners who have fallen in love with Mexico and its people. This is certainly the case of Querido Diego, te abraza Quiela - a brief novel (so short it was originally published in its entirety in Octavio Paz's literary magazine Vuelta). The Russian exile and painter Angelina Beloff writes from the cold and impoverished post-war Paris to Diego Rivera, her spouse of over ten years. Beloff sends these letters to which there is no response during a time when the emancipation of women has broken many of the standard models and the protagonist struggles to fashion her own. Elena Poniatowska has (re)created these letters and within them one finds the unforgettable testimony of an artist and her lover during the valuable crossroads of a new time when Diego Rivera was forging a new life in his native country. In this edition, Nathanial Gardner comments on the truth and fiction Poniatowska has woven together to form this compact, yet rich, modern classic. Using archives in London, Paris and Mexico City (including Angelina's correspondence held in Frida Kahlo's own home) as well as interviews from the final remaining characters who knew the real Angelina, Gardner offers a mediation of the text and its historical groundings as well as critical commentary. This edition will appeal to both students and scholars of Latin American Studies as well as lovers of Mexican Literature and Art in general.

        Joseph Losey

        by Colin Gardner

        The career of Wisconsin-born Joseph Losey spanned over four decades and several countries. A self-proclaimed Marxist and veteran of the 1930s Soviet agit-prop theater, he collaborated with Bertholt Brecht before directing noir B-pictures in Hollywood. A victim of McCarthyism, he later crossed the Atlantic to direct a series of seminal British films such as "Time Without Pity," "Eve," "The Servant," and "The Go-Between," which mark him as one of the cinema's greatest baroque stylists. His British films reflect on exile and the outsider's view of a class-bound society in crisis through a style rooted in the European art house tradition of Resnais and Godard. Gardner employs recent methodologies from cultural studies and poststructural theory, exploring and clarifying the films' uneasy tension between class and gender, and their explorations of fractured temporality.

        8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS

        The Defining Issue of the 21st Century

        by Valorie M. Allen

        The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.

        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.

        Marcel Reich-Ranicki antwortet auf 99 Fragen

        by Marcel Reich-Ranicki, Volker Weidermann, Hans-Joachim Simm

        Die Rubrik der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung "Fragen Sie Reich-Ranicki" ist längst eine Institution geworden. Mit Spannung werden die Fragen und mehr noch die Antworten erwartet, und natürlich betreffen sie die Literatur: "Was halten Sie von der russischen Literatur des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts?" - "Sollen wir von unseren Schriftstellern verlangen, daß sie ihre Ansichten zu aktuellen politischen Fragen öffentlich verkünden?" - "Was hätten Sie Thomas Mann gern gefragt?" Die vorliegende Sammlung der 99 interessantesten Fragen an Marcel Reich-Ranicki und seiner Antworten darf durchaus eine kleine Literaturgeschichte und ein demoskopischer Spiegel des literarischen Lebens genannt werden, und sie zeigt eines gewiß: Die Begeisterung für Literatur ist - allen Bedenken zum Trotz - nicht nur auf der Seite des Antwortenden unvermindert groß.
