May 2022In the Shadow of War
Diary notes from Ukraine
by Christoph Brumme
"What can you learn in war? Do you become numb, do you get used to it at some point? Does war make you "hard", uncaring, above pain? No. These are just clichés. Every day brings new horrors. At best, one learns for some time to suppress strong feelings, because to give in to them would weaken one's life instinct." In a very stirring and shocking, but sometimes humorous language, Christoph Brumme tells of the situation in Ukraine, the everyday life of his family and friends, of fears, longings and political assessments. The diary entries of the war and the resistance of the Ukrainians, starting from the first signs of the impending war in mid-January 2022 until the printing of this book, 1st May 2022, impressively bear witness to the brutality of these events.

Biography & True StoriesWays of the Ancestors
From Manchuria to Germany, 1928-68
by Cornelia Feye
The project is based on the diary of the author's grandparents, which chronicles forty years of tumultuous personal and political history. She only found the diary two years ago in her brother’s basement in Berlin. It begins in Manchuria where Cornelia Feye's grandparents met in 1928, followed by their escape after the Mukden Incident in 1931 and the Japanese occupation, their dramatic journey on the Transsibirian railroad from Harbin to Moscow and Berlin, the years of unemployment during the Weimar Republic, the rise of the National Socialists, and WWII, her grandfather’s four years as POW in Siberia and finally the reconstruction and economic prosperity in post-war Germany. The diary movingly tells the great love story between two very different people – her grandfather Kornelius, a Swabian former’s son, and grandmother Frida, a twelve-year-older cultured Swiss milliner, that fate brought together for unknown reasons in Mukden. Beside the trans-generational and historical components of this project, it also touches on deeper philosophical themes such as destiny versus free will, and the role of faith in surviving insurmountable obstacles. It offers opportunities for deep-dive research into the Japanese Occupation of Manchuria, the History of the Trans Siberian Railroad in Stalinist Russia, The Black Madonna of Einsiedeln as Archetype, and Russian POW Camps in Siberia, which should be of general interest (see bibliography). Quotes from the diary are used as points of departure and to preserve the eloquent and poetic language. Select incidents will be set in-scene as historical fiction to communicate the emotional impact of this dramatic and traumatic story.

January 2014Aus dem Berliner Journal
by Max Frisch
Es gilt als einer der großen Schätze in Max Frischs Nachlass, das legendäre Berliner Journal, das er begann, als er 1973 in West-Berlin in der Sarrazinstraße eine Wohnung bezog. Danach hat der Autor es selbst mit einer Sperrfrist von zwanzig Jahren nach seinem Tod versehen, der „privaten Sachen“ wegen, die er dort festhielt. 2014 ist das Journal, in Auszügen, erstmals erschienen, ein Fest für das Feuilleton, eine Fundgrube für die Leser. Jetzt erscheint es als Taschenbuch. „Ich konnte das Buch … nicht mehr weglegen.“ Tobias Rüther, Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung „Ich las diesen Max Frisch jetzt und war total beeindruckt. Nicht nur von dem psychologischen Reichtum, den Max Frisch zu entfalten vermag, sondern auch von der delikaten Stilartistik … das ist wirklich ein toller Autor.“ Ijoma Mangold „Hier ist der ganze Max Frisch in all seiner thematischen Vielfalt, in seinem psychologischen Scharfsinn und seiner gesellschaftlichen Neugier wiederzuentdecken.“ Jörg Magenau, Süddeutsche Zeitung „Wenige konnten die Träume unserer in sich selbst verliebten, vorwärtsdrängenden Epoche besser beschwören als Max Frisch.“ Iris Radisch, Die Zeit

May 2008Die Zettel des Kuriers
Journal 1990 - 1999
by Paul Nizon, Wend Kässens
"Da sitzt einer beim Schreiben vor seiner Maschine und beginnt zu spielen. Das ist die Ausgangslage, das ist der Beginn. Der Beginn ist ohne Plan und ohne bestimmtes Wissen und Vorhaben. Ein Mensch, der anfängt zu sprechen oder zu murmeln und der sich im Grunde bekennen, das heißt seiner Existenz und des Lebens vergewissern möchte. Er fängt irgendwo an und nimmt sich und den Leser auf die Reise mit. Die Reise führt durch die Gegenwart und Erinnerung und vielleicht auch ins Utopische, sie führt durch Unwetter und Ängste ebenso wie durch den Traum, sie staut sich an Reflexionen und ergießt sich in Emotionen, sie sucht nach dem Glück und durchquert die Einsamkeit etc., und dabei entsteht das Seismogramm einer heutigen Existenz und, wenn wir Glück haben, der Reichtum des Lebens, ja, und hoffentlich auch Schönheit und Glanz." "Für mich ist dies Journal die Anatomie einer seltenen Spezies Künstler und die Radiographie der dazugehörigen schöpferischen Prozesse. Dazu die fabelhafteste Unabhängigkeitserklärung und des weiteren ein seltenes, vielleicht exemplarisches Dokument. Basta."

October 2004Das Drehbuch der Liebe
Journal 1973–1979
by Paul Nizon, Wend Kässens, Wend Kässens
Ein Mann in der Mitte des Lebens, Schriftsteller. Auf einer Lesereise, unterwegs durch fremde Länder, zieht er sich in einer dramatischen, ebenso ausweglos wie aussichtslos scheinenden Begegnung mit einer jungen Frau das zu, was er später eine »Liebesvergiftung« nennen wird. Nach dieser Begegnung findet er sich nicht mehr zurecht, er verkommt. Auch das Verhältnis zu seiner jahrelangen Lebensgefährtin, die er erst kürzlich geheiratet hat, wird dadurch zerstört. Er übersiedelt, nein flieht von Zürich nach Paris, wo ihm eine verstorbene Tante eine winzige Wohnung hinterlassen hat. In dieser Zelle wartet er, wider alle Vernunft, daß die junge Geliebte sich für ihn entscheidet und daß das Schreiben wieder von ihm Besitz ergreift. Um die Wartezeit bis dahin zu überbrücken, klammert er sich an seine täglichen Notate, in denen er die Geschichte dieser verrückten Liebe, seine Geschichte bewahrt: Das Drehbuch der Liebe.Paul Nizon erzählt in seinem Journal – diesem Fortsetzungsroman eines einzigartigen Künstlerlebens – von der grausamen Verzauberung durch die Liebe, von den Exerzitien der Einsamkeit in Paris, seiner Sehnsucht nach Neugeburt durch die Zaubermacht der Metropole und nicht zuletzt von den Lektionen, die das Schreiben und die Frauen ihm erteilten.

Requiem for A Holy Island
by Zecharia Plavin
There was a tiny island in the Far East populated by tall, gifted people plagued by malignant ideology and ruled by merciless leaders. However, a noble few were dedicated to peacefully rescuing their people from tyranny and death. Dr. Solomon Jekavpils reads about this unfamiliar place in the diary of the late pianist Adelaide Fourangier. Meanwhile, Solomon's former classmate, Nelly, manipulates him to search for Illirio Mariafels, her lost love.

After several setbacks in her life, Fourangier joins the leading liberal islander and devotes her life to teaching piano to children. Life on the island transforms her into a caring human being, inspired pianist, and master tutor. Illirio, her heroic son, can inspire wonderful kindness with his chanting.

Biography & True StoriesMay 2025Mrs Dalloway
Biography of a novel
by Mark Hussey
A compelling biography of one of the most celebrated novels in the English language. The fourth and best-known of Virginia Woolf's novels, Mrs Dalloway is a modernist masterpiece that has remained popular since its publication in 1925. Its dual narratives follow a day in the life of wealthy housewife Clarissa Dalloway and shell-shocked war veteran Septimus Warren Smith, capturing their inner worlds with a vividness that has rarely been equalled. Mrs Dalloway: Biography of a novel offers new readers a lively introduction to this enduring classic, while providing Woolf lovers with a wealth of information about the novel's writing, publication and reception. It follows Woolf's process from the first stirrings in her diary through her struggles to create what was quickly recognised as a major advance in prose fiction. It then traces the novel's remarkable legacy to the present day. Woolf wrote in her diary that she wanted her novel 'to give life & death, sanity & insanity. to criticise the social system, & to show it at work, at its most intense.' Mrs Dalloway: Biography of a novel reveals how she achieved this ambition, creating a book that will be read by generations to come.
