        Liebesgedichte

        Zweisprachig

        by Sylvia Plath, Jutta Kaußen, Jutta Kaußen, Jutta Kaußen

        Nachdem sie ihrem Leben ein Ende gesetzt hatte, wurde Sylvia Plath fast ausschließlich als Leidende wahrgenommen, als unglücklich Liebende, als verlassene junge Mutter. Doch schon lange bevor ihre Ehe scheiterte und sie ihren berühmten Gedichtzyklus Ariel schrieb, hat sie in ihrem Werk mit dem Thema Liebe experimentiert: bald humorvoll, bald traurig, übermütig-kapriziös, sprachspielerisch und witzig so gut wie kühl-analytisch. Ihre Vorstellungskraft ließ sie in Rollen schlüpfen, Situationen durchspielen und Geschichten erzählen. Ihre schönsten Liebesgedichte sind in dieser zweisprachigen Ausgabe versammelt und werden zum Großteil erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung präsentiert.

        Spanish cinema 1973–2010

        Auteurism, politics, landscape and memory

        by Maria M. Delgado, Robin Fiddian

        This collection offers a new lens through which to examine Spain's cinema production following the isolation imposed by the Franco regime. The seventeen key films analysed in the volume span a period of 35 years that have been crucial in the development of Spain, Spanish democracy and Spanish cinema. They encompass different genres (horror, thriller, melodrama, social realism, documentary), both popular (Los abrazos rotos/Broken Embraces, Vicky Cristina Barcelona) and more select art house fare (En la ciudad de Sylvia/In the City of Sylvia, El espíritu de la colmena/Spirit of the Beehive) and are made in English (as both first and second language), Basque, Castilian, Catalan and French. Offering an expanded understanding of 'national' cinemas, the volume explores key works by Guillermo del Toro and Lucrecia Martel alongside an examination of the ways in which established auteurs (Almodóvar, José Garci, Carlos Saura) and younger generations of filmmakers (Cesc Gay, Amenábar, Bollaín) have harnessed cinematic language towards a commentary on the nation-state. The result is a bold new study of the ways in which film has created new prisms that have determined how Spain is positioned in the global marketplace.

        Women who Kill

        by Sylvia Arvizu

        The author spent 15 years in prison. She interviewed most of her inmates about the crimes for which they were imprisoned for, selected the best stories, and narrated them as brilliant true crime stories told during their everyday life of imprisonment. At the same time, she shows how commiting a crime was the only way to escape from an oppresing living conditions. Every story dives into the human condition and its social restrains, in magnificent story-telling techniques not exent of a sour sense of humour.

        A Tale Of Light

        by Khrystyna Lukashchuk (Author), Khrystyna Lukashchuk (Illustrator)

        This unique picture book is a creation of Khrystyna Lukashchuk, a well-known Ukrainian author and artist recognized as one of the best illustrators of independent Ukraine. From the emergence of Ukraine through its darkest times to its final victory over evil,  A Tale Of Light allows us to find answers to dramatic questions: how can we explain to children why there is a war in their country? Why can not the enemy leave the Ukrainian land in peace? What will help us to defeat the enemy for good? The profound symbolic images that the author recreated will guide the readers along their journey. Ukrainians have been tapping into them for long times to find a source of harmony and internal strength –  they are a powerful source of Light sustained by Ukrainian history, culture, and language. No enemy, however big or conniving, can destroy this Light.   From 3 to 6 years, 719 words Rightsholders: bondarenkosvetlak@gmail.com
