        MARIANNE OF THE SNOW

        A Psychological Novel on Shellshock Victims

        by Hadassa Ashdot

        Army psychologist Hadassa Ashdot has written a moving novel about the healing power of love and desire, about blind hatred and killing that destroy all good, about the longing for limitless freedom as opposed to cultural and social restrictions and taboos, and about deep loss giving way to light and hope. The story revolves around three Israeli fighters: Nadav, a medic and disillusioned Kibbutz member, and his friends David, enlisted man and one of Israel's “socially disadvantaged”, and Osama, the unit commander who comes from a small Druze village and is a member of this unique minority that serves in the Israeli army. The three are hiding in a cypress forest in Lebanon, where Osama is critically wounded, waiting for an army helicopter to come and rescue them. During their four days of desperate anticipation, the forest where they have taken refuge becomes a fateful and symbolic death trap in which their lives and fates are intertwined. By the time the helicopter arrives, two of the men lay dead, and Nadav, the protagonist, experiences first-hand the trauma of losing friends to war. Shaken by his friends' deaths and the horrific war experience that has turned his world upside down, Nadav leaves Marianne, the girl he loves, and sets out on a trek of self-purification in the Himalayas. But no salvation awaits him there. After being buried in a snow avalanche, from which he was rescued bruised and broken, he sinks into darkness and depression, enduring years of living death in an abyss of despair. Love, ultimately, proves to be the light at the end of the tunnel through which Nadav makes his way back to life - love, the only force capable of healing the deep wound that the war bestowed upon him. Marianne, a Finnish volunteer at the kibbutz, is the woman Nadav loved and left; but she nevertheless accompanies him through the Himalayan snows to which he escapes in an attempt to free himself of the pain and guilt of his friends' deaths. Nadav rediscovers Marianne in the calm affection of middle age, in the snows of Finland, and she is the balm that finally helps soothe the wounds of war.

        Marianne de la Neige

        by Hadassa Ashdot

        Marianne de la Neige   Roman psychologique sur les victimes du traumatisme du combat   par Hadassa Ashdot Psychologue de l'armée, Hadassa Ashdot, nous livre un roman émouvant sur le pouvoir guérisseur de l'amour et du désir, de la haine aveugle et tueuse qui détruit ce qui est bon, sur la forte envie de liberté sans limite, opposée aux restrictions culturelles et sociales et aux tabous, et sur la perte profonde cédant la place à la lumière et l'espoir.   L'histoire tourne autour de trois combattants israéliens – Nadav, un médecin et membre désillusionné du kibboutz, et ses amis David, un soldat de carrière qui fait partie des « socialement désavantagé » d'Israël, et Osama, un commandant d'unité, venant d'un petit village druze et membre de cette unique minorité servant dans l'armée israélienne.   Les trois se cachent dans une forêt de cyprès au Liban, Osama, grièvement blessé, en attente d'un hélicoptère de l'armée venant les chercher pour les sauver. Durant ces quatre jours d'attente désespérée, la forêt dans laquelle ils avaient trouvé refuge devient un piège mortel fatidique et symbolique dans lequel leurs vies et leurs sorts sont entremêlés. Le temps que l'hélicoptère arrive, deux des hommes meurent et Nadav, le protagoniste, vit le traumatisme de la perte de ses amis durant la guerre.   Secoué par la mort de ses amis et l'expérience horrible de la guerre, Nadav quitte Marianne, la fille qu'il aime et part vers un voyage de purification personnelle dans l'Himalaya. Mais aucun salut ne l'attend là-bas. Après avoir été enseveli sous une avalanche, de laquelle il a été secouru, meurtri et cassé, il sombre dans les ténèbres et la dépression, supportant des années de mort vivante et tombant dans le gouffre du désespoir. L'amour, finalement, s'avère être la lumière au bout du tunnel à travers laquelle Nadav fait son chemin de retour à la vie – l'amour, la seule force capable de guérir la blessure profonde causée par la guerre. Marianne, volontaire finlandaise dans le kibboutz, est la femme que Nadav a aimée et quittée; mais néanmoins, elle l'accompagne à travers les neiges de l'Himalaya dans lesquelles il cherche un refuge, dans une tentative de se libérer de la peine et de la culpabilité de la mort de ses amis. Nadav redécouvre Marianne dans l'affection calme d'une personne ayant atteint l'âge adulte, dans les neiges de Finlande, elle est le baume qui l'aide finalement à apaiser les blessures de guerre.

        Winter Tourism

        Trends and Challenges

        by Ulrike Pröbstl-Haider, Harold Richins, Stefan Türk

        Winter tourism has seen increased levels of investment in recent times as new ski destinations develop and traditional skiing destinations merge to reduce economic risks by means of spatial distribution. Increasingly environmental issues in many established ski resorts, including certifications and adaptions of the management regime, and new mobility concepts to reduce CO2 emissions caused by the travel behavior of the winter tourists, are growing areas of consideration. This includes the importance of scenic beauty, nature and sustainable development as well as snow reliability and avalanche safety. Finally skiers themselves and their preferences (destination choice), need to be considered as part of demographic change and changing leisure time habits, in particular considering the Chinese market and its impact in the future. The book will explore these trends and discuss the different approaches and adaption strategies that are employed in the European Alpine region, North America, and Eastern Europe.

        Representing Renaissance art, c.1500–c.1600

        by Catherine E. King

        Representing Renaissance art, c.1500-c.1600 is a study of change and continuity in the iconographies of art and the visual representation of artists during the sixteenth century, especially in Italy and the Netherlands. The issue of how, and how far, artists obtained higher status for their profession during the Renaissance is a key question for the study of the early modern period. This book considers the maintenance of well-established traditions for the visual representation of artists, and also examines the new iconographies that emerged in the sixteenth century. By highlighting art and architecture that artists designed for their personal use, including the decoration of their houses, this study provides insight into the tastes and 'ways of looking' specific to artists. By examining the visual evidence we see the opinions both of artists who expressed their views in literary texts, and additionally those of artists who did not publish their ideas in written form.

        Contes de la forêt et de la savane

        Fables d'ici et d'ailleurs

        by Ntsama Abah, Balafun studio by K. Willy

        "Contes de la forêt et de la savane (Fables d'ici et d'ailleurs)" is a collection of tales that immerses us at the crossroads of different Cameroonian cultures and, in a broader sense, of Central Africa. Here, through a very surprising mixture of French-speaking literature and mother tongue which is based on this particular cultural context, the author allows the power and delicacy of oral transmission to shine through in all simplicity in our regions. Consisting of ten tales of unequal lengths, the book presents the exceptional adventures of different living beings in which man meets much more than his “animal” or “insect” brothers… Indeed, and through these multiple adventures, the reader rubs shoulders with wisdom as well as its history and that of the world in which he lives.

        The Best of H. C. Artmann

        by H. C. Artmann, Klaus Reichert

        Von allen deutschen Autoren, die nach 1945 zu schreiben begannen, ist Artmann ohne jeden Zweifel der vielseitigste, originellste und erfinderischste. So wie Artmann in fast allen Gattungen gearbeitet hat, auch den angeblich antiquierten, und ohne sich um die Tagesparolen der mal reine Dichtung betreibenden, mal engagierten, mal die Literatur totsagenden Kollegen zu kümmern, so hat er seine Quellen, seine Herkunft überall: in der Artusepik, in barocker Schäferpoesie, in den Wörterbüchern und Grammatiken von gut zwei Dutzend Sprachen, in Irland und im England des Sherlock Holmes, bei Villon und dem Wiener Vorstadtdialekt, Lorca, Gomez de la Serna, den Surrealisten und Dadaisten, in den Detektivheftchen der 20er Jahre und den Comic strips von damals bis heute. Unsere Auswahl versucht, nicht nur einen repräsentativen Querschnitt durch das Werk Artmanns zu geben, sondern gleichzeitig Verstreutes, an entlegensten Orten Publiziertes zu sammeln.
