        The Last Wish

        by Eugenia Kononenko

        The manuscript has been lost several years ago. Perhaps then it was not the time to read it. But 15 years later, in the age of the developed Internet and social networks, the writer's son receives back a notebook with a puppy on the cover. And it was that very notebook in which the old sick writer wrote his last novel, 'The Last Wish'. Is it necessary and possible to solve all the secrets of the past? At least it is worth striving for. Only conscious knowledge gives that freedom, without which the birth of a conscious person of the future, who would become the master of his or her own destiny under any conditions, is impossible.

        Die Erzählungen. Vier Bände

        Band 1: Die Nacht auf dem Rücken

        by Julio Cortázar, Wolfgang Promies, Rudolf Wittkopf, Mario Vargas Llosa

        Julio Cortázars weltweiter Ruf als »phantastischer« Autor gründet vor allem auf seinen Erzählungen. Geschichten wie Bestiarium, Axolotl, Das besetzte Haus und Die Nacht auf dem Rücken sind selbstverständlicher Bestandteil der Weltliteratur.In diesem ersten Band der vierbändigen Taschenbuchausgabe sind erstmals auch zwölf frühe Erzählungen enthalten, die bislang nicht als Einzelausgabe erschienen sind. Liebhaber des argentinischen Meistererzählers werden diesen Bänden gleich neben Cortázars literarischem Meilenstein, dem Antiroman, Rayuela. Himmel und Hölle, ihren gebührenden Platz einräumen. »Die wahre Rebellion Cortázars findet in seinen Erzählungen statt. In ihnen experimentierte Cortázar nicht: er fand, er entdeckte, er schuf etwas Unvergängliches«, so Mario Vargas Llosa in seinem Vorwort.

        Born Hutsi

        by Fiston Mudacumura

        The author was raised in a family of only survivors from the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsis. Even FARG (A survivors fund) allegedly paid for his school fees for some time.

        The Wigmaker of Königsberg

        A difficult friendship with Immanuel Kant

        by Michael Lichtwarck-Aschoff

        It is said that all the ladies in Königsberg had a crush on Kant. How one coifs one’s intellectual giants, one’s occidental luminaries. Although at the time, Kant employed a Huguenot wigmaker to style his hair. Of whom not much is known. Except that he would have liked to get rid of the wigs and replace them with a short back and sides. And that he tried to comply practically with the idea of enlightenment. But with Kant’s sentences the great philosopher only ever addressed the enlightenment-driven rulers of Europe, and never the people of Africa, whose diff erent skin colour alone proved to Kant that they could not reach a higher level of civilisation on their own. But he and Kant only really fell out seriously over Esther, the pleasing and seductive maid...

        Tumi Letsatsi is a 13-year old melanin kween living in Rondebosch, Cape Town. Her favourite colour is yellow, she's still trying to figure out how not to dent her afro on the bus, and how one goes about (ahem!) “french kissing”. She’s a little awkward and a lot uncertain about her future, friendships and how to put together a cool outfit! But then she stumbles across the magic of coding and creates an app called “Project Prep” that goes viral and rockets her and her friends to fame. Then everything starts to fall apart, as she deals with a catfish who befriends her and steals her code, nasty rumours at school and the newfound attention of a crush. The New Girl Code (by Niki Smit, locally edited by Buhle Ngaba) is about the wonders of working in tech, aimed at girls and young women aged 9-15. The project is an initiative of Inspiring Fifty and based on an idea by Janneke Niessen.
