August 2014Calendarium 2015
Heimat
by Hermann Hesse
Das handliche Calendarium mit Hermann Hesses farbenfrohen Kleinaquarellen auf den Frontseiten bringt für das Jahr 2015 auf den Rückseiten eine Auswahl von Texten des Autors zum Thema Heimat: Die Liebe zu seiner Herkunft hat der im Schwarzwald geborene Hermann Hesse vor allem in seinen frühen Erzählungen auf eindringliche Weise überliefert. Später ließ er sich in Regionen nieder, die etwas Wahlverwandtes für ihn hatten, von 1904 bis 1912 am Bodensee und danach in der Schweiz, wo er insbesondere dem Zauber der Landschaft des Tessin seinen Dank abgestattet und in farbenfrohen Aquarellen und Schilderungen festgehalten hat. Dabei war ihm bewusst, dass man nur dort Heimat findet, wo man Wertvolles leistet, denn die wirkliche Heimat liegt in uns selbst, nirgendwo sonst fühlt man sich wohl.

January 2013The Madmen of Bethlehem
by Osama Alaysa
Adopting the story-within-a-story structure of Arabian Nights, author Osama Alaysa weaves together a collection of stories portraying centuries of oppression endured by the Palestinian people. This remarkable novel eloquently brings together fictional characters alongside real-life historical figures in a complex portrayal of Bethlehem and the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in the West Bank. The common thread connecting each tale is madness, in all its manifestations. Psychological madness, in the sense of clinical mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, finds expression alongside acts of social and political madness. Together, these accounts of individuals and communities provide a gateway into the histories of the city of Bethlehem and Palestine. They paint a picture of the centuries of political oppression that the Palestinian people have endured, from the days of the Ottoman Empire to the years following the Oslo Accords, and all the way to 2012 (when the novel was written). The novel is divided into three sections, each containing multiple narratives. The first section, “The Book of a Genesis,” describes the physical spaces and origins of Bethlehem and Dheisheh Refugee Camp. These stories span the 19th and 20th centuries, transitioning smoothly from one tale to another to offer an intricate interpretation of the identity of these places. The second section, “The Book of the People Without a Book”, follows parallel narratives of the lives of the patients in a psychiatric hospital in Bethlehem, the mad men and women roaming the streets of the city, and those imprisoned by the Israeli authorities. All suffer abuse, but they also reaffirm their humanity through the relationships, romantic and otherwise, that they form. The third and final section, “An Ephemeral Book,” follows individuals—Palestinian and non-Palestinian—who are afflicted by madness following the Oslo Accords in 1993. These stories give voice to the perspectives of the long-marginalized Palestinian population, narrating the loss of land and the accompanying loss of sanity in the decades of despair and violence that followed the Nakba, the 1948 eviction of some 700,000 Palestinians from their homes. The novel’s mad characters—politicians, presidents, doctors, intellectuals, ordinary people and, yes, Dheisheh and Bethlehem themselves—burst out of their narrative threads, flowing from one story into the next. Alaysa’s crisp, lucid prose and deft storytelling chart a clear path through the chaos with dark humor and wit. The result is an important contribution to fiction on the Palestinian crisis that approaches the Palestinians, madness, and Palestinian spaces with compassion and depth.

The ArtsJanuary 2015Pleasure of Learning
by Zhou Xue
Like a bundle of secret documents, a soft piece of felt is wrapped around the body of this book and tied with a thread of raffia. Then calligraphic daubs of ink darken the creamy natural white of the paper, page by page until you become immersed in a new world. The strong, tough paper contains texts in filigree Chinese type, with some smears of watery ink here and there.The reader works through the book very carefully because it appears so vulnerable with its assortment of papers, the stitch binding with open spine, and the secretive beginning. You therefore handle the artistic pages with extra caution – the book, illustrations and observations blend to form a contemplative whole. This corresponds perfectly to the pedagogical motive of the whole project – in the words of Confucius: the Pleasure of Learning.

Literature & Literary StudiesSeptember 2006The Tamer Tamed; or, The Woman’s Prize
by Celia Daileader, Gary Taylor, David Bevington
This is the first edition for students and general readers of this pro-woman reply to Shakespeare's 'The Taming of the Shrew' by a playwright (John Fletcher) who was more admired than Shakespeare in the seventeenth century. Co-edited by a feminist critic and a distinguished textual scholar, this new textbook makes clear why "The Tamer Tamed" should be restored to the theatrical repertoire and the literary canon. It includes the fullest commentary ever provided for the play, explaining for modern students Fletcher's verbal exuberance and his uninhibited sexual language. The full critical introduction describes the play's Renaissance context, its historical and literary sources (including Aristophanes's "Lysistrata"), and its subversive relationship to Shakespeare's "Shrew" and Ben Jonson's "The Silent Woman". It also surveys the play's subsequent theatrical and critical history. A unique and essential companion to the numerous textbook editions of Shakespeare's play, "The Tamer Tamed" provides exciting new material for current debates about the history of gender, marriage, and drama. ;

Poetry2015Metrophobia
by Myroslav Laiuk
Metrophobia is the second book of poetry by Miroslav Layuk. It is the space of language and the world it creates. A world that begins with small autobiographical stories (according to the author), marked with a dash-and-dot line of school trees, abandoned buildings, nursing homes, children's mental hospitals and cemeteries, and it grows into a Sonnetarium – the grand and disparate world of Ezra, in which all connoisseurs of this not very common today poetic genre will live luxuriously. The splendid artistic design by Zhanna Kadyrova further reveals this world, gives it a structure and monumental features, but at the same time seems to build a separate parallel, a separate perspective of movement into the depth of consideration, reading, and interpretation. Metrophobia was recognized as the best poetry collection of 2015 by the annual LitAkcent Literary Prize.

Eco lies told by the finance sector
by Bernd Villhauer
— By the expert in ethical business — Once you have finished this, you will never fall for green financial lies again — Global Ethic Institute (Weltethos- Institut) network And suddenly every bank is sustainable. This truly necessary "debate book" explains in a wellfounded way what green-washing means in the financial sector, and why banks, insurance companies, asset managers, stockbrokers and other financial players clothe themselves in their allegedly so green-and-friendly cloak. It provides an easy-to-understand explanation of the various forms of greenwashing, how we can recognise the different "varieties" and – above all – how we can avoid them. This is also important because the entire financial and capital system is an important part of a sustainable future – and this can only succeed if it is honest, transparent and impact-orientated.
