FictionAndreaa Constantin
by Esteban Torres Lana
A dangerous challenge at sea through a rock arch battered by strong waves. She ends up seriously injured in a leg when her friend Aurelio arrives at the cove. Overcoming her pain, she hides her injuries from Aurelio and tells him the extraordinary story of her mother, which propelled her to undertake such a madness. The story begins 6 years ago in Tenerife, with Nayra's expulsion from Philosophy class for the third time in a week, causing Pablo, her father, to pick her up from school and embark on a long day of disputes, confessions, and finally, complicities between them. Walking around Santa Cruz, canceling classes and professional commitments, Pablo and Nayra spend the day discovering a personal and sentimental reality that surprises them. The problems Nayra mentions with a group of immigrant classmates, along with the aggression Nayra shows towards her mother, Lola, prompt Pablo to tell her the unfinished story with Andreea, a high-class Romanian prostitute. Pablo cannot control the level of intimacy of the tale despite his own amazement, hearing himself say things he thought were unspeakable. Nayra responds, between disputes and affection, interspersing her own confidences, some of them having a strong impact, like the adventure with an immigrant who arrived on the beaches of Fuerteventura during a summer excursion. Neither tells the most intimate details of their stories truthfully, but they are accessible to the reader. Despite frequent arguments due to the teenager's incisive and groundbreaking language, their complicity grows and they end up spending the day together, walking through different places in the city. The story with Andreea takes on dramatic tones that completely captivate the young woman. Two suicides, the chase by Romanian mafia, returning to her hometown, searching for Pablo, Andreea’s struggle to regain her dignity and her artistic capacity through painting, and the apparent disappearance of her father's life, capture Nayra’s attention. Despite the narrative tricks used by Pablo, when night falls and they reach home, Nayra connects the dots and is surprised to discover that her perfectionist and successful mother, a recognized painter from Santa Cruz, with whom she has had a very conflictive season, is Andreea Constantin, the Romanian immigrant her father met as a high-class prostitute. After an initial reaction of rejection due to the ignorance in which she was kept, she understands her mother's situation. All the questions she always had about many details of her life arise with the discovery. A few years after discovering her identity, Andreea disappears from home. A call from Romania alerts them to the discovery of two charred bodies near her birthplace and the presence of her old exploiter nearby, who cursed her for life through a Transylvania ritual when she abandoned prostitution. Knowing she was discovered in Tenerife, Andreea tried to keep her family away from danger and returned to her country, where she was easy prey for the mafia. Pablo and his daughter Nayra fly to Bucharest to identify Andreea’s body, which may have been brutally murdered and burned. When it seems the identification will be negative, a small detail of the clothing makes them doubt. Desolate, they receive medical and psychological support from the Romanian team, but it turns out to be a false lead. Andreea is rescued from a hideout and has survived due to a misunderstanding by her captors. Protected by the Romanian police, she later becomes a key witness whose testimony ends the dangerous band of her pimp. But that bravery comes at a price; 2 years later, she does not return from an art exhibition in Paris. The police believe that her exploiter’s curse was fulfilled by a nephew who visited him in prison shortly before his death and was seen in Paris during the days Andreea had the exhibition. After a year of anguish, Nayra can no longer bear the situation and decides to mourn her mother at the cove where she painted her last picture. It had as its background the rock arch symbolizing the risk of living and facing life’s challenges. Nayra considers her mother lost and throws Andreea’s ashes into the sea, symbolized by those of a magnolia branch she planted many years ago. With this, she internalizes the loss and the fighting values Andreea taught her. The exit from the volcanic cove is a song to the life that continues and to the young woman who represents it. The novel is dedicated to the memory of Andreea Constantin and the thousands of women sexually exploited around the world.

September 1996An Francesco Dionigi von Borgo san Sepolcro in Paris. Die Besteigung des Mont Ventoux. Mit farbigen Fotografien von Constantin Beyer
by Francesco Petrarca, Constantin Beyer, Paul Stern, Hans Nachod, Horst Nalewski
Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374) soll als einer der ersten den höchsten und eindrucksvollsten Berg der Provence, den von Winden umwehten Mont Ventoux, bestiegen haben. Der Brief, in dem er seinen Aufstieg schildert, ist ob des neuen Naturgefühls, das sich in ihm ausspricht, berühmt geworden.Rainer Maria Rilke war Petrarcas Brief bei einem Aufenthalt in der Provence zum Ereignis geworden durch die in ihm formulierte, auf Augustinus zurückgehende Erkenntnis, dass ein noch so reiches »Außen« übertroffen werde von der Tiefendimension unseres Inneren. Petrarcas Aufstieg nachvollzogen hat ein Urenkel Rilkes, der Fotograf Constantin Beyer.

Der Tod in den Weltkulturen und Weltreligionen
by Constantin Barloewen
Kaum ein Thema hat die Menschen zu allen Zeiten, in allen Kulturen und Zivilisationsstufen so intensiv beschäftigt wie das Sterben. Das Bewußtsein unserer Sterblichkeit hat die menschliche Einbildungskraft seit der Vor- und Frühgeschichte angeregt und in Mythologie, Kunst, Architektur, Religion, Philosophie und in der Folklore der verschiedenen Kulturen auf sehr unterschiedliche Weise Ausdruck gefunden. Dieses wohl einzigartige Buch behandelt das Thema erstmals auf ebenso umfassende wie tiefgreifende Weise: Die bedeutendsten Gelehrten der verschiedenen Weltkulturen und Religionen haben aus ihrer jeweiligen Perspektive darüber nachgedacht, welche kulturelle, mythische und religiöse Tradition sich hinter der Auffassung und Verarbeitung des Todes verbirgt. Eingeleitet wird der Band durch einen ausführlichen kulturvergleichenden Essay des Herausgebers Constantin von Barloewen.

March 2007Anna Amalia. Herzogin von Weimar
by Annette Seemann, Constantin Beyer
Wer war diese Anna Amalia, die sich von der charmanten jungen Rokokoprinzessin zur Schutzgöttin der Künste wandelte? Dieser reichbebilderte Band illustriert den Lebensweg einer vielschichtigen Persönlichkeit, der es gelang, die eigenen künstlerischen Interessen für die kulturelle Entwicklung des Herzogtums Weimar fruchtbar zu machen. Das klassische Weimar ist ohne Anna Amalia (1739–1807), die Mutter Carl Augusts, undenkbar. Unter ihrer Regentschaft verwandelte sich die kleine Residenz zum geistigen Zentrum der Goethezeit. Es gelang ihr, herausragende Geister der Epoche – darunter Goethe, Wieland, Herder und Schiller – an ihren Hof zu ziehen. Sie begründete den »Weimarer Musenhof« mit seinen berühmten Leseabenden; sie förderte das deutsche Theater und verband das aristokratische Rokoko mit der neuen bürgerlichen Gefühlskultur. Ihre große Italienreise spiegelt die Italienbegeisterung der Zeit und Goethes Einfluß. Annette Seemann schildert den Lebensweg einer der bedeutendsten aufgeklärten Fürstinnen ihrer Zeit. Ein Akzent ihrer Darstellung liegt auf dem vielleicht größten Verdienst der Herzogin: der Gründung der »Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek«. Nach dem verheerenden Brand des Jahres 2004 wird sie in Anna Amalias 200. Todesjahr nach umfangreichen Restaurierungen wieder zur Benutzung freigegeben.

Mit Rilke durch die Provence
by Rainer Maria Rilke, Irina Frowen, Constantin Beyer
»Das Schönste bei weitem war die Provence, das müßten Sie einmal tun«, schrieb Rainer Maria Rilke 1911 über eine Reise von Paris nach Bologna, die ihm auch eine Wiederbegegnung mit der von ihm lebenslang geliebten Landschaft Südfrankreichs beschert hatte. Noch kurz vor seinem Tod hoffte er, hier einmal seinen endgültigen Wohnsitz nehmen zu können.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2013Christian Dualist Heresies in the Byzantine World, c. 650-c. 1450
by Janet Hamilton, Bernard Hamilton
Christian dualism originated in the reign of Constans II (641-68). It was a popular religion, which shared with orthodoxy an acceptance of scriptual authority and apostolic tradition and held a sacramental doctrine of salvation, but understood all these in a radically different way to the Orthodox Church. One of the differences was the strong part demonology played in the belief system. This text traces, through original sources, the origins of dualist Christianity throughout the Byzantine Empire, focusing on the Paulician movement in Armenia and Bogomilism in Bulgaria. It presents not only the theological texts, but puts the movements into their social and political context.
