View Rights PortalEin Tag im Leben des Soropita: der frühere Viehtreiber reitet heimwärts, zu seinem einsamen Landgut, durch Schluchten, Moore, schwarzen Buschwald und fruchtbare Ebenen, begleitet vom schrillen Klageschrei eines Sperbers und dem langgezogenen, traurigen Gurren der weißbrüstigen Trauertaube. Er denkt zurück an frühere Zeiten, als er nach wochenlangen Ritten in den Freudenhäusern der Stadt Einkehr hielt, im »guten Norden«, und er denkt an Doralda, seine Frau, die man einst die »Weiße Lilie«, aber auch »die Geile«, »die Gefällige« genannt hat. Unterwegs trifft er Dalberto, seinen alten Freund; sie reden von Frauen, von Liebe, vom Heiraten. Bange Vermutungen bedrohen unversehens Soropitas scheinbar festgegründetes Glück.

Little Lotus tells the story of the growth of a little girl named Lotus. She was born in an impoverished and backward family, where her grandfather prefers boys to girls, her mother is always busy and indifferent, and her father is often outside home during Lotus’childhood. Therefore, Lotus has grown into a sensitive and stubborn girl. However, her grandmother is a loving and wise person, who has taught Lotus the importance of kindness, tolerance and diligence. It is her grandmother who lights up Lotus’early life. Little Lotus focuses on the growth of children in China’s countryside by incorporating the author’s personal experiences, and presents different facades of a Chinese-style childhood.

Farbenprächtig und schön anzuschauen, hat jede Blume auch ihre Botschaft. Dies machen sich seit Jahrhunderten schondie Maler zunutze und lassen gerade bei der Darstellung von Frauen die Pracht der Blüten sprechen: Die weiße Lilie wird zum Symbol für weibliche Unschuld, Seerosen unterstreichen die sinnliche Verführungskraft, Lotos und Jasmin erzählen von exotischer Schönheit. Mit großem Wissen und hintergründigem Feinsinn deutet Andreas Honegger die geheimen Blumenbotschaften in Gemälden und nimmt uns mit auf einen Spaziergang durch die Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte vom 15. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart – und erzählt von Anemonen und Chrysanthemen, von Iris und Orchideen und immer wieder von Rosen und Lilien u. v. a. m.
