View Rights PortalEin Lebensweg vom Orient in den Westen, lebendig und farbig erzählt wie ein Roman – eine Geschichte von glücklicher Kindheitsheimat, Entwurzelung und vitalem Neuanfang. Seine Kindheit im gerade in die Unabhängigkeit entlassenen Irak der 50er Jahre gleicht einer orientalischen Erzählung: Pius wächst behütet und abenteuerlich zugleich mit elf Geschwistern in einer Familie auf, die der ältesten christlichen Gemeinde angehört und ihre eigenen Traditionen bewahrt; seine Muttersprache ist das biblische Aramäisch. Im großen Familienclan werden die Gesetze der Gastfreundschaft und des Respekts für den anderen gelebt. Die friedliche Gemeinschaft verschiedener Völker – Araber, Kurden, Armenier und Turkomanen – im Norden des Iraks wird zu einer entscheidenden Prägung für ihn. Doch es sind die Jahre, in denen sich Saddam Husseins Baath-Partei des Iraks bemächtigt. Die Familie flieht in den Süden, erlebt das Exil im eigenen Land. Widerstandsgeist und Religiosität bringen Pius ins Priesterseminar, die Zustände im Jesuitenkolleg und die Enttäuschung über theologische Engstirnigkeit vertreiben ihn jedoch bald. Er ergreift die Chance, englische Literatur in Bagdad zu studieren. Bei einem Studienaufenthalt in London verliebt er sich in ein katalanisches Mädchen: eine Explosion der Sinne nach der Dürre der Seminarzeit. Doch erst durch die Begegnung mit den Wundern und Schrecken der Wüste, die er während seines Militärdienstes kennenlernt, reift der junge Mann zu seiner wahren Bestimmung heran. Ein Überraschungserfolg in Katalonien, wochenlang Platz 1 der Bestsellerliste. »Dies ist reine erzählerische Energie.« Jaume Cabré
Were it not for authoritarian state censorship, Cecilia Bartolomé's name would figure alongside those of her contemporaries Agnès Varda and Claire Denis as a pioneering feminist filmmaker of the twentieth century. With this bold claim, this book seeks both to write the history of Bartolomé's extant filmography, and speculative about censored and un-filmed work, thereby fashioning a new way of writing a feminist creative life in film. The first volume on this director to be written in English, The Cinema of Cecilia Bartolomé is also the first volume on the director published in any language for over twenty years. By focusing on Spanish-language cinema of the 1960s-1990s, the period when feminism, like democracy, was re-born and seemingly consolidated in Spain, the study brings historical depth and transnational reach to current debates in the wake of #MeToo.
Fasciolosis is a major global infection of livestock causing both huge losses to the agricultural community and affecting human health as a food-borne disease. Fully updated throughout, this new edition continues to cover the life cycle, biology, and development of the parasite; clinical pathology, immunology, diagnosis and vaccine development; and emergence, cause and mechanisms of drug resistance. It reviews the temperate liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, together with molecular, biochemical, control, and epidemiologial aspects of the tropical liver fluke F. gigantica. Many fundamental advances have taken place in the last two decades, but of particular importance has been the mapping of the draft genome of Fasciola. In addition, comprehensive advances in transcriptomics, proteomics and glycomics have been made, and the book therefore pays particular attention to these developments with the addition of brand-new chapters. Also covering the impact these parasites have had on the global human population, their distribution and their ecology, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible resource for scientists, researchers and students of medical and veterinary parasitology.
