        Knights of the Famished Renaissance

        by Dmytro Horbachov

        The phenomenon of the Ukrainian avant-garde was first revealed to the Western world in 1973 at the "Tatlin's dream" London exhibition where for the first time, world-class paintings by little known Ukrainian avant-garde artists Vasyl Yermylov and Oleksandr Bohomazov were exhibited. This famous show raised awareness also of other world-famous masters who, by origin, upbringing, self identification, and national traditions were associated with Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, and Odesa. Apart from the above-mentioned artists, the book mentions “the most faithful son of Ukraine” Davyd Burliuk, as well as Kazymyr Malevych, a Pole who considered himself Ukrainian; Volodymyr Tatlin, a professor of Kyiv Art Institute and bandura player; Oleksandra Ekster, a founder of the Ukrainian school of constructivist scenography; artists of the "Culture League"; Oleksandr Arkhypenko, a phenomenal sculptor. Supplemented with extensive cultural studies and personal memories of the author, the book is designed to present the reader with a complete picture of the origins and formation of the Ukrainian artistic avant-garde. Compiled by Oleksiy Sinchenko.

        I Will Mix Your Blood With Coal. Understanding Ukrainian East

        by Oleksandr Mykhed

        In 2014, the Russian army, with support from local militants, had occupied parts of Ukraine’s two easternmost regions, the regions that were the beating industrial heart of the socialist utopia in the Soviet era, and where coal extraction has exhausted both the human population and the natural resources. The regions have suffered from the post-Soviet chaos for decades. In the late 2016, the author set out on a research trip to the East to answer the common questions of those who’ve never been to the region. He takes his readers on a complicated, painful and hopeful trip across the Ukrainian East, guiding them through conversations with the locals, archival research, and conversations with prominent cultural fi gures like writer Serhij Zhadan or released after 700 days of terrorist captivity historian Ihor Kozlovskyi that were born in the region. The readers will meet the miners, the Belgian and British investors who founded the eastern cities, the priceless coal, events of the First and Second World War, the bloody Soviet history, the activists who are now working to improve the country, and sweet memories of the lost paradise.

Maybe it would be better to use the example of one dog that lives in a world of total fear, lies and greed? Lives like a sheep among sheep...

        Es war einmal eine Familie

        by Lizzie Doron, Mirjam Pressler

        Tel Aviv, Anfang der neunziger Jahre: Helena, Elisabeths Mutter, ist gestorben. Während der Schiva, der sieben Trauertage, ist Elisabeth wieder in dem kleinen Viertel, in dem sie in den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren aufgewachsen ist, ein Viertel, in dem Überlebende der Shoah versuchten, sich ein neues Leben aufzubauen. Alle Kinder, mit denen sie groß geworden ist, haben wie Elisabeth schon vor vielen Jahren dieses Viertel verlassen. Sie wollten die Ängste und Alpträume ihrer Eltern hinter sich lassen, ein normaleres Leben führen, ein Großteil von ihnen jedoch gehörte zu jenen, die in den ersten Tagen des Jom-Kippur-Krieges fielen. Nun kommen die Nachbarinnen und Nachbarn von einst zu Besuch, um Helena die letzte Ehre zu erweisen, allen voran die zwei alten Schiva-Expertinnen Sonia und Genia. Durch die Trauergäste und ihre Erinnerungen wird für Elisabeth noch einmal die versunkene Welt ihrer Kindheit gegenwärtig, mit Müttern und Vätern, die in der israelischen Gegenwart nie heimisch wurden. Elisabeth, die keine anderen Verwandten hatte als ihre Mutter, erkennt am Ende der Trauerwoche, daß sie doch nicht ohne Familie aufgewachsen ist: Das Viertel hier, es war einmal eine Familie, das machen ihr die sieben Trauertage klar, die Sonia folgendermaßen zusammenfaßt: »Es war richtig gelungen, nur schade, daß Helena nicht dabei war.«

        Der Schatten aus der Zeit

        Erzählung. Deutsch von Rudolf Hermstein

        by H. P. Lovecraft, Rudolf Hermstein

        Howard Phillips Lovecraft wurde am 20. August 1890 in Providence, Rhode Island geboren und starb am 15. März 1937 ebenda. Im Alter von acht Jahren verlor er seinen Vater. Er wurde fortan hauptsächlich von seiner Mutter, seinem Großvater und zwei Tanten aufgezogen und zeigte bereits früh literarische Begabung. Als Kleinkind lernte er Gedichte auswendig und begann im Alter von sechs Jahren, eigene Gedichte zu schreiben. Sein Großvater unterstützte diese Neigung und erzählte ihm selbsterfundene Horrorgeschichten. 1914 wurde Lovecraft Mitglied einer Vereinigung von amerikanischen Hobbyautoren, deren Ziel es war, durch Kongresse den Austausch unter den Autoren zu fördern. Dieser Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten verlieh Lovecraft neuen Schwung: Die Kurzgeschichten The Tomb und Dagon erstanden in dieser Zeit. 1924 heiratete Lovecraft die sieben Jahre ältere jüdische Ukrainerin Sonia Greene. Einige Jahre später einigten sich die getrennt lebenden Sonia Greene und Lovecraft auf eine einvernehmliche Scheidung, die jedoch nie rechtswirksam vollzogen wurde. Lovecraft kehrte zurück nach Providence und lebte dort wieder mit seinen Tanten. Dieser letzte Abschnitt seines Lebens war der produktivste. Nahezu sämtliche seiner bekannten Erzählungen, wie Der Fall Charles Dexter Ward oder Berge des Wahnsinns stammen aus dieser Zeit. 1936 wurde bei Lovecraft Darmkrebs diagnostiziert. Bis zu seinem Tode ein Jahr später litt er an ständigen Schmerzen und Unterernährung. Rudolf Hermstein, geboren 1940 in Juliusburg in Niederschlesien, ist seit 1971 als freier Übersetzer aus dem Englischen tätig. Er lebt im oberbayerischen Bad Feilnbach.
