Ōgai Mori, wie sich Rintarō Mori (1862-1922) als Schriftsteller nannte, eine der im neuzeitlichen Japan nicht seltenen Doppelbegabungen, hatte neunzehnjährig als jüngster Arzt seines Landes die Universität verlassen, in Deutschland Hygieneforschung betrieben, war Chef des japanischen Heeressanitätswesens geworden, als Übersetzer von Goethe, Hauptmann, Hofmannsthal, Ibsen, Strindberg, Maeterlinck u. a. berühmt, als Novellist, Dramatiker und Essayist weithin bekannt, als er 1909 mit Vita sexualis öffentliches Ärgernis erregte.Die Nummer der Zeitschrift Subaru (Die Pleíaden), in der sein »der Moral abträglicher« Text erschienen war, wurde verboten. Nicht weniger scharf äußerten sich Anhänger der die japanische Literatur beherrschenden Naturalismustheorie: was Ōgai Mori als Erzählung ausgebe, sei nicht Schöne Literatur, sondern Wissenschaft.In der Tat hatte der Autor dem gängigen einen »geistigen« Naturalismus entgegensetzen wollen und in der Überzeugung, eine reine Fiktion könne die dem Gegenstand gebührende Wahrhaftigkeit nicht erbringen, seine eigene Entwicklung protokolliert. Die kühle, ironisch-distanzierte, auf Redlichkeit und Detailtreue bedachte, dennoch poetische Chronik gilt nun aufgrund eben dieser Eigenschaften als ein Klassiker der frühen japanischen Moderne.

In einer den Schönheiten des Daseins so zugewandten Reihe wie der Insel-Bücherei hatte von Anbeginn auch das »memento mori« seinen Platz. Nach Hans Holbeins Bildern des Todes (IB Nr. 221; 1917) und dem Heidelberger Totentanz von 1485 (IB Nr. 1092; 1991) erscheinen nun Neue Totentänze – Holzstiche, geschaffen von Karl-Georg Hirsch, einem der bedeutendsten, wenn nicht dem bedeutendsten Holzschneider der Gegenwart. In enger Korrespondenz zu Gedichten von Autoren seiner eigenen und der ihm nachfolgenden Generation zur Vergänglichkeit alles Irdischen hat Hirsch in dieser Holzschnittfolge das tradierte Totentanzmotiv neu gedeutet und mit einer Selbstbefragung zu Tod und Sterben verbunden. In Hirschs dynamischer Handschrift ist kein Platz für sanftes Abschiednehmen; Mensch und Tod sind in ekstatischen Tänzen und bizarren Konstellationen verbunden, sind Figuren eines von jeher und für immer verbundenen Paares.

Invasive alien plants and animals are known for their disruption of ecosystems and threat to biodiversity. This book highlights their major impact on human health. This includes not only direct effects through contact with the species via bites, wounds and disease, but also indirect effects caused by changes induced in ecosystems by invasive species, such as more water hyacinth increasing mosquito levels and thereby the potential for malaria. Covering a wide range of case studies from different taxa (animals and plants), and giving an overview of the diverse impacts of invasive species on health in developed and developing countries, the book is a significant contribution that will help in prioritizing approaches to controlling invasive species and mitigating their health effects. It covers invasive plants, marine species, spiders and other arachnids, ticks and dust mites, insects, mosquitos and other diptera, freshwater species (invertebrates and fishes), amphibians and reptiles, birds and mammals. Key Features Collects together the major health impacts for the first time Covers animal and plant invasive species Examines issues in developed and developing countries The broad spectrum of the analyzed case studies will ensure the appeal of the book to a wide public, including researchers of biological invasions, doctors, policy-makers and managers, and students of invasive species in ecology, animal and plant biology and public health medicine.
An autobiographical graphic novel about life, art, the search of happiness, and surviving a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 38. In Memento mori, Tiitu Takalo, one of the greatest graphic novelists from Finland, describes her sudden and unexpected cerebral hemorrhage and the long process of recovery. It is a dramatic story about a life turned upside down overnight: a ruptured cerebral aneurysm, the days spent in an intensive care unit, and the long road to recovery which leads the artist to reflect on her current and past life. Far more than a story of survival, Memento Mori is a philosophical and psychological journey told with exceptional honesty and compassion. It is a sublime graphic novel from a master of the medium and, ultimately, a celebration of life.
Memento mori—“remember you will die”—is the medieval Christian practice of reflection on mortality as a means of considering the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits. Remembering death daily helps us manage the chaos of this world, work towards an earthly holiness in view of the next life, and grow closer to God. It’s a means of perfecting your character by cultivating detachment and considering the soul’s immortality.
