        Mein kleines Prachttier

        Roman

        by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld, Helga Beuningen

        Dies ist die Geschichte eines Mannes und eines jungen Mädchens, die Geschichte einer fatalen Liebe von animalischer Wucht und moralischer Zweifelhaftigkeit. Ein langer, heißer Sommer in einem abgelegenen, strenggläubig calvinistischen Dorf. Auf dem Hof eines Milchbauern nähert sich der Tierarzt der vierzehnjährigen Tochter an. Das Mädchen, auf der verzweifelten Suche nach Geborgenheit, verwechselt Begehren mit väterlicher Zuneigung. Der Sommer schreitet voran und die beiden entwickeln eine immer gefährlichere Faszination füreinander … In der Begründung der Jury des Preises der Leipziger Buchmesse, den die Übersetzerin Helga van Beuningen 2022 erhalten hat, heißt es: »Wie mit absolutem Gehör begabt, lässt Helga van Beuningen die sprachlichen Register musikalisch ineinandergreifen, die für die beklemmende Attraktion von Marieke Lucas Rijnevelds Roman Mein kleines Prachttier sorgen. Ein deutsch-niederländisches Virtuos:innenstück.«

        Roman

        by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld, Helga van Beuningen

        Kurz vor Weihnachten bemerkt die zehnjährige Jas, dass der Vater ihr Kaninchen mästet. Sie ist sich sicher, dass es dem Weihnachtsessen zum Opfer fallen wird. Das darf nicht passieren. Also betet Jas zu Gott, er möge ihren älteren Bruder anstelle des Kaninchens nehmen. Am selben Tag bricht ihr Bruder beim Schlittschuhlaufen ins Eis ein und ertrinkt. Die Familie weiß: Das war eine Strafe Gottes, und alle Familienmitglieder glauben, selbst schuld an der Tragödie zu sein. Jas flieht mit ihrem Bruder Obbe und ihrer Schwester Hanna in das Niemandsland zwischen Kindheit und Erwachsensein, in eine Welt voll okkulter Spiele und eigener Gesetze, in der die Geschwister immer mehr den eigenen Sehnsüchten und Vorstellungswelten auf die Spur kommen. Was bedeuten Familie, Glaube, Zusammenhalt? Wie kann man anderen beistehen, wenn man mit den eigenen Dämonen zu kämpfen hat? Marieke Lucas Rijneveld hat einen gewagten, einen kräftigen und lebendigen Roman geschrieben, der unsere innersten Gewissheiten hinterfragt.

        The Little Prince

        by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Irene Testot-Ferry

        Zwischen 1939 und 1959 erschien in dem Londoner Verlag Penguin eine Buchreihe, die den Namen „King Penguin Books“ trug und am Ende 76 Bände umfasste. Die Anregung dazu stammte aus Deutschland, und zwar durch die 1912 gegründete Insel-Bücherei. Der Buchhistoriker Russell Edwards schrieb dazu: „The ambition of King Penguins was to rival the celebrated Insel books which had been so much admired“. Warum also nicht einzelne Bände der Insel-Bücherei auf Englisch erscheinen lassen? Den Anfang macht „Der kleine Prinz“…

        Devouring Himself, Starting with His Feet

        by Abdallah Al-Zioud

        Despite its small size, it managed to take its place among the best modern literature books in recent years. From the title and cover, going through its amazing preface and eloquent language, and to the element of surprise and unexpected ending. Abdallah Al-Zioud was able to make the reading journey of this novel a meaningful journey despite its shortness; a journey introduces readers to new terms that manipulate their imaginations and puts them in the eye of the event through a visual language that conveys the reader from paper to the visual world of the novel. It teaches them some of writing tricks and simplifies what seems complicated at the beginning so that the reader believes in its ordinary before discovering that he has fallen victim to fraud.I can say that the most beautiful thing about this novel is that it was not written in a style and did not follow a context. it rebelled against the ordinary, uniquified in style, and combined simplicity and complexity in a way predicting an amazing ability and counted in its writer favor.

        Die Sandelholzstrafe

        Roman

        by Mo Yan, Karin Betz

        In seinem großen historischen Epos inszeniert Mo Yan eine farbenprächtige Pekingoper aus der deutschen Kolonialgeschichte seines Heimatlands. Vor der Kulisse einer untergehenden Epoche treten fünf Figuren auf die Bühne der Geschichte und kämpfen für das, was sie bewahren wollen, und für die, die sie lieben. Viel Neues geschieht im China des Jahres 1899: Von überall her drängen fremde Menschen in das zuvor verschlossene Reich. Sie bringen etwa die Eisenbahn, die bei der Provinzstadt Gaomi über die Gräber der Ahnen verlaufen soll. Vieles geht aber auch zu Ende in diesen letzten Tagen des Jahrhunderts: Das Kaiserreich liegt in Agonie, ebenso wie Sun Bing, der Opernsänger und Anführer des Aufstands gegen die Trasse und deren Erbauer. Um seinen Ungehorsam zu ahnden, bündelt die Staatsmacht all ihre Kräfte und verordnet ein letztes Mal die Sandelholzstrafe, die grausamste und zugleich kunstvollste der überkommenen Foltermethoden. Leib und Leben nicht allein des Opfers, sondern auch seiner Tochter, ihres Ehemanns, ja selbst des Henkers und des Richters stehen mit diesem Urteilsspruch auf dem Richtplatz der Geschichte. In einem der bedeutendsten chinesischen Romane der jüngsten Zeit spielt Mo Yan virtuos das Spiel der Masken, Perspektiven und Kontraste. Gewalt und Poesie, Empathie und schwarzer Humor, Derbheit und Feinsinn, die Fülle des westlichen Romans und die Eleganz der chinesischen Oper gehen in seiner bilderreichen und suggestiven Sprache Hand in Hand.

        La hermandad de la Casa Grande (The brotherhood of the Big House)

        Una novela negra sobre el juicio del Estado a los brujos de Chiloé (A detective novel about the state's trial of the witches of Chiloé)

        by Eduardo Pérez Arroyo

        It's 1879. To the north, Chile defends foreign investment in the Pacific War. To the south, beyond the already invaded Araucania, from a large, almost unexplored island, rumors of violence, superstition and a state incapable of enforcing its law spread. The elite would be at ease if some “elements” that are not occupied at the border with Peru penetrated Chiloé. They need evidence to condemn those criminals who terrorize the population with old indigenous beliefs. They call themselves witches. They are organized as La Recta Provincia or La Hermandad de la Casa Grande. They lie to scare and change the names of the cities on the island –Achao, Dalcahue or Quicaví–, confusing them with others: Buenos Aires, Villarrica, Salamanca. If they were only myths, it would be enough for the government to forget that secret place. But the one who calls himself the Greatest Liar in the World claims to have escaped the sorcerers and travels the north glimpsing the aliens: he talks to them of malice, monsters and murders; of the bloody clans' struggles to become a decaying reign. For these lies, or to secure an unstable national pride, coronels and tenants decide to put an end to things that a mortal has no power to finish.

        Tourism Transformations in Protected Area Gateway Communities

        by Susan L Slocum, Peter Wiltshier, John Basil Read IV, Dorothee Bohn, Andrea Zita Botelho, Kelly S. Bricker, Robert S. Bristow, Karina H. Casimiro, Rosa Suárez Chaparro, Ana Cristina Costa, Kynda R. Curtis, Margaret J. Daniels, Edieser Dela Santa, C. Michael Hall, Manuel Ramón Gonzalez Herrera, Russell M. Hicks, Julie Judkins, N. Qwynne Lackey, Natalya Lawrence, Gustavo C. X. M. P. Machado, Gianna Moscardo, Jake Powell, Sidnei Raimundo, Mary Anne Ramos-Tumanan, Milena Manhães Rodrigues, Chris Ryan, Renato de Oliveira dos Santos, Jessica A. Schottanes, Ole R. Sleipness, Maria Anunciação Ventura, Therez B. Walker

        Gateway communities that neighbour parks and protected areas are impacted by tourism, while facing unique circumstances related to protected area management. Economic dependency remains a serious challenge for these communities, especially in a climate of neoliberalism, top-down policy environments, and park closures related to environmental degradation or government budgets. The collection of works in this edited book provide bottom-up, informed, and nuanced approaches to tourism management using local experiences from gateway communities and protected areas management emerging from a decade of guidelines, rulemaking, and exclusive decision-making. Global perspectives are presented and contextualized at the local level of gateway communities in an attempt to balance nature, community, and commerce, while supporting the triple bottom line of sustainable tourism. While anticipating a post-COVID 19 global shift, readers are encouraged to think through transformation and resiliency in regard to how the flux of supply vs demand alters gateway community perspectives on tourism. Specific features of this book include: · Focus on transformations, which provides insight into the complex and dynamic nature of gateway communities. · Multidisciplinary, multi-cultural insights into protected area management. · Applied and conceptual chapters from global perspectives.
