August 2023Tasmanien
Roman | Das langerwartete neue Buch des Autors von »Die Einsamkeit der Primzahlen«
by Paolo Giordano, Barbara Kleiner
Dies ist ein Roman über die Zukunft. Eine Zukunft, die wir fürchten und nach der wir uns sehnen. Tasmanien erzählt die Geschichte eines Mannes, der die Kontrolle über die Welt verloren hat und nun auf der Suche nach seiner, nach unserer Zukunft ist. Paolo ist Anfang vierzig und italienischer Journalist und Romancier. Seine Ehe hat einen kritischen Punkt erreicht, als seine Frau beschließt, die Versuche der künstlichen Befruchtung einzustellen, und die beiden sich vom Lebenstraum eines gemeinsamen Kindes verabschieden müssen. Um seiner eigenen Krise zu entkommen, bricht Paolo zur Klimakonferenz nach Paris auf, tauscht sich mit einem Wolkenforscher über klimatische Phänomene aus, mit einer Kriegsreporterin über internationalen Terrorismus – er reist in zahlreiche Städte und Länder, nur um nicht zu Hause zu sein. Doch wie soll er herausfinden, wie es mit ihm, mit allem weitergehen soll, wenn er sich der Welt immer wieder entzieht? Tasmanien ist ein lebenspraller Roman über unsere Gegenwart. Mit seinem einfühlsamen, präzisen Blick auf die Welt, die uns umgibt – Glaube, Wissenschaft, Klima, Elternschaft, Liebe – erzählt Paolo Giordano davon, wie wir alle nach einem Ort suchen, wo eine Zukunft möglich scheint. Damit gelingt ihm etwas Besonderes: Er gibt uns das Gefühl, weniger allein zu sein.

October 2017Zerbrochene Länder
Wie die arabische Welt aus den Fugen geriet
by Scott Anderson, Paolo Pellegrin, Laura Su Bischoff
»So ist also die Frage beantwortet, ob man das aktuelle Chaos in der arabischen Welt in einem einzigen journalistischen Stück erfassen kann. Man kann. Scott Anderson kann es sogar grandios.« Die Zeit »Die hellsichtigste, kraftvollste und menschlichste Erklärung dessen, was in der Region passiert ist, die Sie jemals lesen werden.« The New York Times Magazine »Manchmal fließt die Geschichte der Menschheit bedächtig vor sich hin, manchmal bewegt sie sich sehr schnell.« Diesen Satz formulierte Muammar al-Gaddafi 2002 gegenüber Scott Anderson. Tatsächlich hat sich die Geschichte im Nahen Osten überschlagen, seit die USA 2003 im Irak einmarschiert sind: 2011 weckte der Arabische Frühling Hoffnungen, doch bald versanken Länder wie Syrien und der Irak im Chaos, von dem wiederum der Islamische Staat profitierte. Millionen Menschen flohen aus Syrien in Nachbarstaaten und nach Europa. Anhand der Erlebnisse von sechs Menschen schildert Anderson die Geschichte einer zerbrechenden Region. Er begleitet den jungen Iraker Wakaz, der sich vorübergehend dem IS anschließt, Laila, die Witwe eines prominenten ägyptischen Menschenrechtsanwalts, deren Sohn innerhalb kurzer Zeit von drei Regimes inhaftiert wird, und Majd, den seine Flucht von Homs über das Mittelmeer bis nach Dresden führt. Illustriert wird Andersons Großreportage mit Aufnahmen des renommierten Fotografen Paolo Pellegrin. Ein einmaliges zeitgeschichtliches Dokument.

Picture booksThe Lilac Girl
by Ibtisam Barakat (author), Sinan Hallak (illustrator)
Inspired by the life story of Palestinian artist, Tamam Al-Akhal, The Lilac Girl is the sixth book for younger readers by award-winning author, Ibtisam Barakat. The Lilac Girl is a beautifully illustrated short story relating the departure of Palestinian artist and educator, Tamam Al-Akhal, from her homeland, Jaffa. It portrays Tamam as a young girl who dreams about returning to her home, which she has been away from for 70 years, since the Palestinian exodus. Tamam discovers that she is talented in drawing, so she uses her imagination to draw her house in her mind. She decides one night to visit it, only to find another girl there, who won’t allow her inside and shuts the door in her face. Engulfed in sadness, Tamam sits outside and starts drawing her house on a piece of paper. As she does so, she notices that the colors of her house have escaped and followed her; the girl attempts to return the colors but in vain. Soon the house becomes pale and dull, like the nondescript hues of bare trees in the winter. Upon Tamam’s departure, she leaves the entire place drenched in the color of lilac. As a children’s story, The Lilac Girl works on multiple levels, educating with its heart-rending narrative but without preaching, accurately expressing the way Palestinians must have felt by not being allowed to return to their homeland. As the story’s central character, Tamam succeeds on certain levels in defeating the occupying forces and intruders through her yearning, which is made manifest through the power of imaginary artistic expression. In her mind she draws and paints a picture of hope, with colors escaping the physical realm of her former family abode, showing that they belong, not to the invaders, but the rightful occupiers of that dwelling. Far from being the only person to have lost their home and endured tremendous suffering, Tamam’s plight is representative of millions of people both then and now, emphasizing the notion that memories of our homeland live with us for eternity, no matter how far we are from them in a physical sense. The yearning to return home never subsides, never lessens with the passing of time but, with artistic expression, it is possible to find freedom and create beauty out of pain.
