Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2020Imagining Caribbean womanhood
Race, nation and beauty competitions, 1929–70
by Pamela Sharpe, Rochelle Rowe, Penny Summerfield, Lynn Abrams, Cordelia Beattie
Over fifty years after Jamaican and Trinidadian independence, Imagining Caribbean womanhood examines the links between beauty and politics in the Anglophone Caribbean, providing a first cultural history of Caribbean beauty competitions, spanning from Kingston to London. It traces the origins and transformation of female beauty contests in the British Caribbean from 1929 to 1970, through the development of cultural nationalism, race-conscious politics and decolonisation. The beauty contest, a seemingly marginal phenomenon, is used to illuminate the persistence of racial supremacy, the advance of consumer culture and the negotiation of race and nation through the idealised performance of cultured, modern beauty. Modern Caribbean femininity was intended to be politically functional but also commercially viable and subtly eroticised.

December 2018Tropical Doubts
by David Myles Robinson
Some Honolulu lawyers called Pancho McMartin the best criminal defense attorney in the islands. He'd admit to being pretty damn good. But he was on a losing streak now―three guilty verdicts in a row―and his confidence was sinking fast. When one of his oldest friends, Giselle, was left comatose after surgery and her husband, Manny, pleaded with him to sue the doctors involved, Pancho couldn't find a way to avoid a new specialty: medical malpractice.But it wasn't long before the sudden death of one of the defendants―and a murder charge accusing Manny of being the killer―had Pancho back in the old familiar arena of fighting for his client's life, while at the same time seeking justice for the O.R. errors that had left Giselle in a permanent vegetative state.In Tropical Doubts, the third legal thriller from David Myles Robinson featuring colorful, fast-thinking Pancho McMartin, medical hijinks merge with murder as surprise twists build in this unpredictable courtroom drama.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 1997The new woman
by Sally Ledger
Sexually transgressive, politically astute and determined to claim educational and employment rights equal to those enjoyed by men, the new woman took centre stage in the cultural landscape of late-Victorian Britain. By comparing the fictional representations with the lived experience of the new woman, Ledger's book makes a major contribution to an understanding of the 'woman question' at the fin de siecle. She alights on such disparate figures as Eleanor Marx, Gertrude Dix, Dracula, Oscar Wilde, Olive Schreiner and Radclyffe Hall. Focusing mainly on the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the book's later chapters project forward into the twentieth century, considering the relationship between new woman fiction and early modernism as well as the socio-sexual inheritance of the 'second generation' new woman writers. ;

FictionMay 2019Mozart and the Wolf Gang
By Anthony Burgess
by Alan Shockley
Written in 1991 to commemorate the bicentennial of Mozart's death, Burgess's novella-length piece is a compendium of themes, genres and even art-forms revolving around the one central preoccupation of the entire Burgess oeuvre: the reconcilability of life and art. This is a kaleidoscope of a book, which stretches even the bounds of even Anthony Burgess's fiction in an attempt to understand Mozart through celestial dialogue, an opera libretto, and fragments of a film script. As gracefully witty as it is daringly experimental, Mozart and the Wolf Gang is one of Burgess's late, great works, often overlooked due to its experimental form, which nevertheless remains accessible, entertaining and yet refreshingly original to this day. This new critical edition with analysis from noted musicologist and a first-class literary critic Alan Shockley enables this work's significance within the fields of literary modernism, fictional biography, and fiction about music, to be assessed by a new generation of readers and scholars.

Briefe 1952-2011
by Christa Wolf, Sabine Wolf
»Post, Post, Post«. Dieser Stoßseufzer, notiert im Kalender unter dem Datum vom Sonntag, dem 4. März 1990, kommt nicht von ungefähr: Christa Wolf war eine ungeheuer produktive Korrespondentin. Ihre Briefe an Verwandte und Freunde, Kollegen, Lektoren, Politiker, Journalisten geben faszinierende Einblicke in ihre Gedankenwelt, ihre Schreibwerkstatt, ihr gesellschaftliches Engagement. Ob sie an Günter Grass oder Max Frisch schreibt, von Joachim Gauck Einsicht in ihre Stasi-Akte fordert oder sich mit Freundinnen wie Sarah Kirsch und Maxie Wander austauscht, wir sind Zeuge von Freundschaften und Zerwürfnissen, Auseinandersetzungen und von Bestätigung, von der Selbstfindung einer der wichtigsten Autorinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Nicht zuletzt beeindruckt ihr Umgang mit der Flut von Leserbriefen, die sie mit zunehmendem schriftstellerischen Erfolg erreicht und auf die sie geduldig und kundig – und manchmal auch mit der gebotenen Direktheit – eingeht.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf
One Story a Week
by Chen Jiafei
A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains. The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep"; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance.

January 2023Wolf Walk Thousands of Miles
by Mu Ling
This volume consists of three middle-grade stories, "Wolf Walk Thousands of Miles" "A Short Biography of Rooster 'Fighting Tiger'" and "The Ice Fox". "Wolf Walk Thousands of Miles" tells the story of a small pack of wolves rescued by human beings and released into the mountains. Under the guidance of their parents, the wolves grow up in the "greenhouse", gradually adapting to the crisis-ridden wilderness, and live happily. When the hunting dog escapes its owner and returns to the mountains, it destroys the peace and quiet there. A cub is killed, and the male wolf, desperate to protect his son, is killed by a poacher's forgotten hunting gear. Without their tough leader, the "tame" wolves are in an unprecedented predicament. They meander for thousands of miles, and through grueling trials and tribulations, quickly grow into self-reliant hunters and defenders of the mountains and forests. A short biography of the cockerel. "Fighting Tiger" is about the extraordinary adventures of a chicken. Through the whimsical "training" of two urban and rural schoolchildren, this small rooster, which had once circled a tiger in a zoo, nearly became the "black horse" in the "cockfighting" competition. The Ice Fox used to be a hunting dog. After the hunting ban, the village has become a folkloric tourist area, and the ice fox, which used to be favored by the hunters, has been given a cold shoulder. Unwilling to be lonely, it even attacked the pets brought by the tourists, and broke into trouble again and again. Lonely hound finally recovered its nature in nature, found friends, and recovered the happiness belonging to a family dog.

AdventureApril 2024I love you…
by Julien Tănase
The book "I Love You..." is part of the trilogy..., "I love you, till death..." and "I love you, as long as my heart beats”, autobiographical love novels which include chapters from life in a couple of the writer Julien Tănase and his wife, Magdi, with whom he has been in a relationship for 30 years, all against the background of the events that Romania has gone through in recent decades, after the Revolution of '89. A trilogy about the endurance over time of a young couple in love, who have gone through events that are out of touch with reality in Romania where sleeping with a gun under the pillow, the fear of having their child kidnapped, and even the "wars" waged against the corruption of magistrates, politicians and the information systems of a civil society gripped by the widespread corruption in Romania, including the lawsuit invented by the DNA (National Anticorruption Directorate) to stop his work as a journalist and finally won by the writer, makes the autobiography of writer Julien Tănase a fascinating one that leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth and a big question mark; ... "such things have happened and continue to happen in Romania"?... The writer Julien Tănase: "A friend in the Italian Police told me, and I quote him: "... if you had done in Italy what you did for your country, today a street would bear your name! But you had been dead!"
