Am Anfang stellte das Meer für den Menschen eine unüberschreitbare Grenze dar. Eine Überfahrt schien nicht vorstellbar oder war lebensgefährlich. Homers Odysseus kehrte erst nach vielen Jahren und Abenteuern zurück zu Penelope. Moses musste mit seinem Stab die Wogen des Roten Meers teilen, um sein Volk ins gelobte Land führen zu können, Platons sagenhafte Insel Atlantis oder Thomas Morus‘ Utopia wurden zu sprichwörtlichen Mythen des unbekannten und wunderbaren Landes jenseits des großen Wassers. Später ermöglichte die moderne Schifffahrt die Entdeckung unbekannter Länder und die Aussicht auf lukrativen Handel, heute ist das Meer gleichzeitig touristische Verheißung und Hauptweg weltweiter Migration. Die Geschichten und Gedichte in dem vorliegenden Band führen die Leser zu Sindbad dem Seefahrer ebenso wie zu Judith Schalanskys Atlas der abgelegenen Inseln, Defoes Robinson und Freitag oder Lutz Seilers Kruso. Und Quint Buchholz hat dieses maritime Geschenkbuch mit seinen unverwechselbaren Bildern versehen.

Die in dem vorliegenden Band versammelten französischen, italienischen, sowjetischen und tschechischen Studien sollen helfen, den Arbeits- und Wirkungsbereich einer kritischen Semiotik abzustecken, und zwar durch Gegenüberstellung szientistischer und kritischer Ansätze von U. Eco, A. J. Greimas, J. Kristeva, J. Lotman, M. Bachtin, J. Mukařovský u.a. Das den Band und seine Beiträge bestimmende Interesse ist es, Konzepte der Semiotik aufeinander zu beziehen, sie im Sinne der »Kritischen Theorie« zu interpretieren, um Ideologie auf der Ebene der »Textstruktur« erfassen zu können.

This book contains two of the most famous works of V. Domontovych. One of them is an engaging and somewhat extravagant novel The Girl with a Teddy Bear that describes the love of a sagacious teacher and his rebellious student. The novel is also a brilliant example of intellectual prose about the changing cultural orientations and the tragic personal conflict of a person destined to live in the time of change. The second one is Doctor Seraficus. It is the story of a strange and infantile ascetic professor who preaches a peculiar sort of “Don Juanism in reverse”: the desire to love all women and denounce all of them simultaneously.

Toxocara is a parasitic helminth worm which continues to stimulate both public concern and scientific interest. Toxocara canis and T.cati, the most studied species, are gastrointestinal parasites of dogs and cats and their eggs can contaminate the environment, thus exposing humans and other mammals and birds to infection. Many questions remain unanswered about the host-parasite relationship, its epidemiology and public health significance. Veterinarians and clinicians are interested in its importance as a zoonosis. The parasite's capacity to cause ocular disease is of concern to ophthalmologists, while its propensity to stimulate allergic manifestations is of interest to allergologists, dermatologists and respiratory medicine specialists. Furthermore Toxocara provides a unique model system to explore questions in parasite biology.This book provides a comprehensive review of Toxocara and the disease it causes known as toxocariasis.

A secret agent of Soviet intelligence and a bohemian modernist, a Berlin-based professor and theologian, a man in a German officer’s uniform, and a recluse archeologist studying Trypillian culture — should someone write a fictionalised biography of Viktor Petrov, such a book would be no less than a page-turning spy novel. But while the government archives refuse to provide information about this extraordinary person, a new edition of Domontovych’s works opens up his world for readers. The book reflects describes the dramatic contrast of the time he lived in, raging emotions and lurking passions. Vincent van Gogh and Goethe, Rainer Maria Rilke and Vaclav Rzhevsky come to life in this novel. V. Domontovych's literary texts are vivid examples of twentieth-century intellectual prose that fascinate readers today.
