      • Gerstenberg Verlag GmbH & Co. KG

        The Publishing House and its History Established in St. Petersburg in 1792, today Gerstenberg is one of Germany’s oldest publishing houses. A family business, the publishing house moved to new headquarters in Hildesheim in 1796 and to this day occupies the same address in the old city marketplace as it did then. The most important branch of the publishing business, however, was the Hildesheimer Allgemeine Zeitung, which, incidentally, is the oldest daily newspaper still in existence in Germany. Today, the name of Gerstenberg is synonymous with delightful, innovative books of aesthetic design and high-quality content for children and young adults that compete very successfully also on the international market. An adult range comprising illustrated books, non-fiction and cookery books also forms part of the Gerstenberg portfolio.   Program Gerstenberg publishes board picture books, picture books, children’s and young adult narrative literature and non-fiction. With Eric Carle’s »The Very Hungry Caterpillar« (»Die kleine Raupe Nimmersatt«) and Rotraut Susanne Berner’s ›discovery picture books‹ (›Wimmelbücher‹), Gerstenberg became one of the best-known children’s book publishers. In 1999, the anthology of poetry »Dunkel war’s, der Mond schien helle«, came out as the first in Gerstenberg’s series of household compendiums, a segment that has since developed into a main pillar of the program. The publishing house has brought out some highly respected developments of its own in the children’s knowledge-book series ›Abenteuer! Maja Nielsen erzählt‹.

        Czerwonka

        by Gerald Zschorsch, Artur Becker

        Gerald Zschorsch, Einzelgänger unter den deutschen Lyrikern, stammt aus Elsterberg im Voigtland. Den vor vielen Jahren nach Westen, in die Bundesrepublik Verstoßenen zieht es in Osteuropas menschenarme Weiten. Zschorschs vierteiliges Prosagedicht Czerwonka – Reisenotat und Beschwörung, Resultat seiner Fahrten durch Masuren, das Ermland und weiter, vorbei an der russischen Enklave Kaliningrad, bis zur Kurischen Nehrung – ist das Zeugnis einer überwältigenden Erfahrung. Im Mittelpunkt dieses Text-Reise-Kosmos, mitten im Ermland, befindet sich der Dadajsee, am See das Örtchen Czerwonka, früher Rothfließ, und im See eine Insel: 'Auf der Wyspa Dadaj, in einer Hütte, halb ins Seewasser gebaut, liegen Kompaß, Messer und Karte: Nordwest. Die Insel ist an ihren Rändern bewachsen; riesige Erlen, Ulmen, Weiden, Birken und Lärchen … Klein ist das Eiland: tausend Meter in der Länge und fünfhundert in der Breite, und still ist es; sehr still, bis auf den Wellenschlag. Ein Steg verbindet es mit dem Festland, und im Winter ist es umschlossen vom Eis. Czerwonka/ Wilimy, Woiwodschaft Warmia-Masuren; Regierungsbezirk Olsztyn/Allenstein …' Von dort kommt der polnisch-deutsche Erzähler Artur Becker (Die Zeit der Stinte, 2006), des Dichters Cicerone, der in seinem Nachwort schildert, wie er am Dadajsee aufwuchs – und warum er nach Deutschland ging.

        Grenzbezirke

        by Gerald Murnane, Rainer G. Schmidt

        Ein alter Mann zieht aus der Hauptstadt in eine entlegene Ortschaft im Grenzland, dort will er die letzten Jahre verbringen. Welche geistigen Eindrücke bleiben, fragt er, aus einem Leben, das der Betrachtung gewidmet war und dem Lesen? Die sehnsüchtige Anmutung einer dunkelhaarigen Frau? Der Familiensitz in einer kargen Landschaft? Die gelenkige Schönheit eines gewissen Rennpferdes? Die Farbigkeit durchscheinender Glasfenster? Eine Zeile Proust? Und so beginnt der Mann, im Zwielicht seiner Tage, diesen seinen Schatz zu katalogisieren, kaum ahnend, wohin sein »Bericht« ihn führen wird und welche Geheimnisse dabei ans Licht kommen. Grenzbezirke ist eine Geste des Abschieds. In Bildern gespenstischer Tiefe erzählt Gerald Murnane das Leben eines leidenschaftlichen Lesers, strauchelnden Liebhabers und praktizierenden Gläubigen – ein Glauben nicht an die Gemeinplätze der Religion, sondern an die unwiderlegbare Leuchtkraft des Erinnerns und der Literatur.

        Koran erklärt

        by Willi Steul, Sebastian Engelbrecht, Thorsten Gerald Schneiders

        Seit dem 6. März 2015 sendet der Deutschlandfunk jeden Freitag die Sendereihe »Koran erklärt«. Bis Dezember 2016 erläuterten darin 51 islamische Theologen und Islamwissenschaftler aus acht Ländern 84 kurze Texte aus dem Koran. Diese Texte sind im vorliegenden Band versammelt. Ergänzt werden diese Auslegungen durch ein Vorwort von Willi Steul, dem Intendanten von Deutschlandradio, sowie drei Hintergrundessays: Thorsten Gerald Schneiders gibt einen Überblick über die Geschichte der Koranauslegung, Angelika Neuwirth problematisiert die »Koranexegese zwischen Theologie und Orientalistik«, und Sebastian Engelbrecht rekonstruiert »Die Beteiligung des Islams am Rundfunk in Deutschland«. Das Buch bietet Information und Aufklärung über den Koran. Es ermöglicht einen Zugang zur heiligen Schrift einer Weltreligion und lädt zu einer differenzierten Betrachtung des Korans ein. Das sind Aufgaben des öffentlichrechtlichen Rundfunks – gerade in Zeiten, in denen Ängste und Emotionen zu Vorurteilen und Ausgrenzung führen.

        Landschaft mit Landschaft

        by Gerald Murnane, Rainer G. Schmidt

        Ein Mann soll vor einem komplett weiblich besetzen Komitee die Wahrheit über sein Intimleben aussagen, doch je mehr er sich anstrengt, desto unrettbarer verheddert er sich in seine Fantasien und Träume. Ein anderer Mann sucht im Hügelland rings um die Metropole über zwanzig Jahre lang wie besessen nach einer Landschaft und einer Frau, die kein Künstler zu malen vermöchte. Ein Dritter – oder ist es ein- und derselbe Mann? – sabotiert sich auf Partys selber mit Drinks, bei dem Versuch, Frauen nachhaltig zu beeindrucken, indem er ihnen minutiös seine neueste Theorie des Schreibens auseinandersetzt.Niemals ist pointierter, hellsichtiger, aberwitziger über männliche Befangenheiten geschrieben worden – Landschaft mit Landschaft, das sind weitreichende, bewusstseinserweiternde Erkundungen von Gegenden, inneren wie äußeren Gegenden, in denen wir eigentlich noch nicht gewesen sind. In kräftig erzählten, raffiniert ineinander greifenden Geschichten unternimmt Gerald Murnane, „der große Solitär der Gegenwartsliteratur“ (The New Yorker), eine Reise durch die Vororte Melbournes in den frühen sechziger Jahren. Und umkreist dabei die miteinander kollidierenden Bedürfnisse nach Katholizismus und Geschlechtsverkehr, Autonomie und Intimität, Alkoholexzess und Literatur.

        Gift of the Dark Mother Earth

        by Can Xue

        Gift of the Dark Mother Earth, the latest novel by Can Xue, is a profound metaphor of her hometown. It follows her usual magical style in the sense that it vividly unfolds the complex and delicate inner world of the characters. The story takes place in the remote Wuliqu School, with such distinctive characters as Teacher Meiyong, Zhang Danzhi, Yutian, Xiao Man, Uncle Yun and Sha Men presented one after another. The personality and human nature exposed through unique dialogues enable the readers to feel a return to simplicity so that they want to explore human soul and nature and start in-depth reading and thinking. The book depicts petty matters in a great age. The author’s ambition is to create a feeling for the pattern of the whole universe through the structure of an ordinary tree leaf, and to unify the arbitrarily split world through the narration of various folk sundries so that different characters can all become the center of this unity and their performance can have a universality. As the only Chinese writer who has won the Best Translated Book Award in the United States, Can Xue was nominated for the foreign novel prize of The Independent of the UK and shortlisted in the Neustadt International Prize for Literature of the US. As the Chinese woman writer, whose works have been translated and published the most abroad, Can Xue has been called the most creative Chinese writer by overseas critics.

        Neither use nor ornament

        A cultural biography of clutter and procrastination

        by Tracey Potts

        Neither use nor ornament is a book about personal productivity, told from the perspective of its obstacles: clutter and procrastination. It offers a challenge to the self-help promise of a clutter-free life, lived in a permanent state of efficiency and flow. The book reveals how contemporary projections of the good, productive life rely on images of failure. Riffing on the aphorism 'less is more' - a dominant refrain in present day productivity advice - it tells stories about streamlining, efficiency and tidiness over a time period of around 100 years. By focusing on the shadows of productivity advice, Neither use nor ornament seeks to unravel the moral narratives that hold individuals to account for their inefficiencies and muddles.
