        L’amour numérique

        Und täglich grüßt die Liebesgier. Ein Episodenroman | Search, Swipe, Date, Repeat: Oliver Polak sucht die große Liebe

        by Oliver Polak

        Was es heißt, jenen einzigen Menschen zu finden, der die große Liebe bedeutet: Nichts Geringeres beschreibt Oliver Polak in seinem neuen Buch L’amour numérique. Oder, um es mit der Band Toto zu sagen: Hold the line. Love isn’t always on time. In verschiedenen Episoden erzählt er von den erhebenden und ernüchternden Herausforderungen der modernen Liebe. Search, Swipe and Date – so beginnen immer wieder die Abenteuer vor der Kulisse des romantischsten aller Orte, dem Pariser Café. Und die so arrangierten Begegnungen enden mal im Fauxpax, dann wieder entwaffnend menschlich. L’amour numérique ist wahrheitsgetreu erfunden und zugleich erfahrungsgesättigt. Ein tiefer Seelenstriptease des inneren Ichs, denn am Ende begegnet der Protagonist nur einer Person: sich selbst. Trifft er die Frauen, um sie zu lieben, oder trifft er sie nur, um sich selbst nicht zu lieben? Ein Buch über Sehnsucht, Verlangen und Zärtlichkeit in einer ungewissen Welt. Leonard Cohen, Batman, Oliver Polak: die großen Liebhaber mit durstigen Herzen.

        Erfahrung als Rechtsquelle

        Abduktion und Falsifikation von Hypothesen im juristischen Entscheidungsprozeß. Eine Fallstudie aus dem Kartellstrafrecht

        by Klaus Lüderssen

        Die Aufhellung der niemandem mehr verborgenen Interdependenzen von »Wirklichkeit« und Recht kann nur fortschreiten, wenn man das Problem auf der Grundlage des modernen Empirismus aller Spielarten neu durchdenkt, dabei einen unmittelbaren Zugang zu den einschlägigen Einzelwissenschaften sucht und sich nicht mit abstrakten Erörterungen begnügt, sondern – pars pro toto – kasuistische Studien durchführt. Die Suche nach einer Basis für die Ermittlung der empirisch faßbaren Teile von Rechtssätzen ist von der Vorstellung geleitet, daß es die Einzelwissenschaften – vor allem die empirische Sozialforschung und die moderne Naturwissenschaft – sind, die es der heutigen Philosophie ermöglichen, ohne Mißachtung der kantischen und hegelschen Erkenntniskritik noch zu inhaltlichen Aussagen zu gelangen. Unter diesem speziellen Gesichtspunkt treten analytische Philosophie und dialektische Philosophie einander gegenüber. Nach einer kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit der dialektischen Philosophie wird der Versuch gemacht, auf der Grundlage der analytischen Philosophie eine für die Jurisprudenz brauchbare empirische Werttheorie zu entwickeln.

        Der Zauberer des Paradoxen

        Short Story with Humor and Irony

        by Manuel Giron

        Pendeln zwischen Welten Manuel Giron ist in vielen Künsten und an verschiedenen Orten zu Hause. Er schreibt, malt, arbeitet mit Fotografie, Videos und Musik. Die Geschichten, die er hier vorlegt, setzen aber auch ein Pendeln zwischen Orten und Weltsichten voraus. Giron ist in der Tat Bürger mehrerer Welten. Leben in fremder Umgebung schärft Sinne. Es lässt Dramen des Alltages wahrnehmen, die niemand sieht, obwohl sie sich unter den Augen aller abspielen, im Zug oder an der Kasse eines Kinos. Die Geschichten von Manuel Giron sind in diesem Sinne eine Augenschule. Sie spielen mit unserem Blick, unsern Seh-, Hör- oder Lesegewohnheiten, führen uns mitunter geschickt an der Nase herum, um uns schlussendlich über unsere eigenen Wahrnehmungen ins Bild zu setzen. Stimmt das ursprüngliche «für wahr Genommene» nicht mit dem überein, was wir am Ende der Geschichte für wahr halten, so merken wir, dass wir selbst, als Lesende die Geschichte miterschaffen haben. Wir können nicht dem Autor in die Schuhe schieben, was wir selber aus seinen Zeilen herauslesen, obwohl wir natürlich stets geneigt sind, andern anzulasten, was wir selber an Unstimmigkeiten hervorbringen. Der Autor führt uns aufs Glatteis imaginärer Welten, gewiss. Aber fast immer brechen wir darauf ein und stoßen auf harte Realitäten. Die Träume, in die uns Manuel Giron mitnimmt, sind erst mit dem Erwachen komplett. Der Wecker ist eingebaut. Das Erwachen, dem die Personen in den Geschichten entgegenträumen, ist freilich ein paradoxer Vorgang. Denn an der Grenzlinie zwischen Nacht und Tag bleibt manches im Zwielicht. Manuel Giron arbeitet mit subtilen Mitteln. Nur ganz leicht tippt er die Glasteile im Kaleidoskop alltäglicher Begebenheiten an, und wir erkennen, dass wir uns möglicherweise gerade am äußersten Rand der Verrücktheit herumgetrieben haben. Es braucht wohl ein Pendel zwischen Welten, um das Doppelbödige der eigenen Wirklichkeit zu entdecken. Die Kurzgeschichten Manuel Girons sind eine Einladung. Betreten wir diesen Boden! Beat Dietschy Kurzgeschichten mit Humor und Ironie zum Genießen! Herzlich willkommen im ParadiesZwischen KinosesselnKleine PerfektionRobotina.

        by Daniele Begato

        John and Jennifer met by chance and – as often happens in unexpected events – fell in love when their lives were taking different paths: John’s imminent departure for South Korea, where he will be busy for six months digging for tarbosaurus fossils, will keep them apart for a long time and risk extinguishing that newborn love. The promise to write to each other with constancy seals the last moment of the two young people, who are separating unaware of the (dis)adventures that await them: upon arrival in Korea, John will be welcomed in a sui generis hotel, run by a couple who hides an incredible mystery, while Jennifer – convinced that spending her life in Detroit will keep her safe from any danger – will soon have to change her mind. As if that weren’t enough, terrible winds of war shake the Earth…A novel that cleverly mixes poetry and irony, delighting the reader with cultured references and pop quotes, given naturally by characters as unlikely as they are difficult to forget.Original and exciting, “J” can give moments of pure fun and moments of intense lyricism.

      • Management: leadership & motivation

        How to Lose Friends and Infuriate People

        Success -- Management -- Leadership

        by Jonar Nader

        We were taught to be patient, yet impatience is also a virtue. We were encouraged to be tolerant, yet intolerance is a characteristic of successful people. We were told to win friends and avoid conflict, yet it is vital to learn how to fight against time-thieves who stop us from achieving success and happiness. This tantalising book is the most explosive text in decades. It is for people who are fed up with inaccuracy and untruths. It is a tool for those who have the vision to shape new futures and the courage to realise their dreams. Come on a journey that will enrich and liberate you as you learn how to tackle the roots of personal achievement, management, and leadership. You will feel liberated and fulfilled when you say what needs to be said, fight for what needs to be won, and do what must be done -- even if you might lose friends and infuriate people. This fourth edition contains 28 chapters. One of them is a 10,000-word chapter about terrorism, called, ‘Infuriating Terrorists: Why tolerant people must not tolerate intolerant people.’ It also includes a new chapter about the cost-cutting frenzy. In criticising corporate executives, Jonar says, ‘Cost-cutting is for wimps. Any fool can cut costs.’ He wants managers to learn how to charge their customers more, and have the customers pay more with pleasure.

        A Bible in Ivory

        Mediterranean art in 11th century Salerno

        by Valentino Pace

        In the late 11th century, one of the greatest historical and artistical times in Campania, in the South of Italy, a significant role was played in this sense by Alfano, the Archbishop of Salerno. He personally committed the episcopal throne inside the Cathedral, with the intention to catch the eye of anyone who entered as a symbol of the ultimate devotion. Of this work, with scenes from the Old and New Testament, only 67 ivory plaques still remain. The throne was realized in ivory, a precious material which can be considered inferior only to gold. Working with ivory required advanced skills from the artists, who had to know how to extract the thin layers from an elephant tusk before being able to delicately carve a scene. Possibly planned and executed for the Cathedral of Amalfi, it is the most extensive series of ivory panels to an artifact that predates the Gothic Era. They prove to be an artistic production that, due to the valuable nature of its material and the quality of its execution – not to mention the inherent interest of its narrative sequence –, is without comparison.
