      by Jasmin Schaudinn, Angela Gstalter

      In "Tillys Kinderkram. Tilly wird fast Vegetarianerin" begleitet Jasmin Schaudinn junge Leser auf eine humorvolle Entdeckungsreise durch die Augen der lebhaften Tilly, die sich plötzlich mit dem Konzept des Vegetarismus konfrontiert sieht. Inspiriert von ihrem kindergärtnerischen Vorbild Devin, beginnt Tilly zu hinterfragen, was es bedeutet, Vegetarier zu sein, insbesondere als sie realisiert, dass ihre geliebte Salami tatsächlich aus Fleisch besteht. Dies führt zu einem charmanten inneren Konflikt und dem Versuch, sich an eine fleischlose Ernährung zu gewöhnen – zumindest vorübergehend. Neben diesem großen Vorhaben taucht Tilly zusammen mit ihrer Freundin Azra in eine Welt voller kindlicher Fantasien ein, die von künstlichen Nägeln aus Spielsteinen bis zu selbstgebastelten Handys reicht. Ihr Entschluss, Vegetarierin zu werden, wird auf die Probe gestellt, als die Aussicht auf Chicken Nuggets mit ihrem Vater sie wieder in Versuchung führt. Diese Geschichte fängt auf bezaubernde Weise die Neugierde, die Widersprüche und das Entdecken neuer Ideen im Kindesalter ein, verpackt in eine Erzählung über Freundschaft, Familie und die ersten Schritte hin zu bewussteren Entscheidungen. Kindliche Perspektive auf aktuelle Themen: Erschließt Trendthemen wie gesunde Ernährung und Vegetarismus auf eine Weise, die für Kinder verständlich und ansprechend ist. Ermutigung zu Selbstreflexion und Neugier: Regt junge Leser*innen ab 4 Jahren dazu an, über ihre eigenen Essgewohnheiten nachzudenken und sich auf das Abenteuer neuer Erfahrungen einzulassen. Einblick in kindliche Fantasiewelten: Neben der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Vegetarismus taucht das Buch tief in die kreative und fantasievolle Welt von Kindern ein. Humorvolle und lebensnahe Erzählweise: Mit viel Witz und Charme werden die kleinen und großen Fragen des Alltags aus der Sicht eines Kindes beleuchtet. Begleitender Podcast „Kinderkram“: Bietet zusätzliche Einblicke und vertieft die Themen des Buches auf unterhaltsame Weise.

      The Clock Can Go

      The end of the culture of obedience

      by Karlheinz A. Geißler

      For more than 500 years, the clock has dictated the rhythm of life in the Western World. Clocks were impossible to miss: they were on church towers, at railway stations and factories, they struck the hours and urged people to hurry. But these days, clocks and the punctuality they insisted upon are on the retreat. Nowadays, we are rarely asked “What is the time?” and it is no longer customary to present golden watches or clocks to commemorate important life events. Now we rely on mobile devices and displays to tell us the time, the steady stroke of the rigid clock has been replaced by a more flexible network: we stream TV programmes when we feel like it, we listen to podcasts at any time; chatting, flirting and dating no longer requires prior agreement on time and place. However, what will follow after we have freed ourselves from the chains of the clock god? Emeritus Professor of Economics and time expert Karlheinz A. Geißler shows us that when the influence of the clock disappears, liberating perspectives emerge for experiencing time in social relationships – beyond time pressure and dictates of punctuality.

      The art of The Faerie Queene

      by Richard Danson Brown

      The Art of The Faerie Queene is the first book centrally focused on the forms and poetic techniques employed by Spenser. It offers a sharp new perspective on Spenser by rereading The Faerie Queene as poetry which is at once absorbing, demanding and experimental. Instead of the traditional conservative model of Spenser as poet, this book presents the poem as radical, edgy and unconventional, thus proposing new ways of understanding the Elizabethan poetic Renaissance. The book moves from the individual words of the poem to metre, rhyme and stanza form onto its larger structures of canto and book. It will be of particular relevance to undergraduates studying Elizabethan poetry, graduate students and scholars of Renaissance poetry, for whom the formal aspect of the poetry has been a topic of growing relevance in recent years.

      The Legacy of John Polidori

      The Romantic Vampire and its Progeny

      by Sam George, Bill Hughes

      John Polidori's novella The Vampyre (1819) is perhaps 'the most influential horror story of all time' (Frayling). Polidori's story transformed the shambling, mindless monster of folklore into a sophisticated, seductive aristocrat that stalked London society rather than being confined to the hinterlands of Eastern Europe. Polidori's Lord Ruthven was thus the ancestor of the vampire as we know it. This collection explores the genesis of Polidori's vampire. It then tracks his bloodsucking progeny across the centuries and maps his disquieting legacy. Texts discussed range from the Romantic period, including the fascinating and little-known The Black Vampyre (1819), through the melodramatic vampire theatricals in the 1820s, to contemporary vampire film, paranormal romance, and science fiction. They emphasise the background of colonial revolution and racial oppression in the early nineteenth century and the cultural shifts of postmodernity.
