"Im Juni 1920 lernt Catherine Pozzi Paul Valéry kennen. Er ist seit zwanzig Jahren verheiratet und hat drei Kinder. Es beginnen acht Jahre einer notgedrungen heimlichen, aber jeden Tag erneuerten und wieder in Frage gestellten Beziehung; acht Jahre der abgenötigten und unhaltbaren Versprechen; Pozzi und Valéry erleiden »den Tod und die Leidenschaft« ihrer Liebe; aber auch acht Jahre der gemeinsamen Arbeit, Lektüre und Forschung; acht Jahre eines intellektuellen und philosophischen Zwiegesprächs unter Gleichen."

24 LEGENDS. 14 STORYTELLERS. 10 COUNTRIES. 1 MASTERPIECE. Dragons, or 'Naga' as they are known in Southeast Asia, continue to exist in our legends long after we have embraced modern ideas and technology.

Twenty-four in all, each story is unique, bringing us to a different part of the world, and meeting wonderful characters along the way. The significance of legends and folklore in imparting important lessons is more evident than ever. The lessons conveyed through these stories often resonate deeply with the present era, offering invaluable insights into our challenges.

By delving into these ancient narratives, we gain a broader perspective on the challenges that have plagued humanity throughout history. In the context of today's world, which grapples with urgent environmental concerns, stories from the past offer unyielding wisdom on sustainable living and the consequences of neglecting our planet. These narratives serve as a bridge between the past and the present, weaving together timeless wisdom and modern challenges into a cohesive narrative that resonates with a wide audience and ensures the continuity and survival of such legends.

October 2011Paul Valéry
Die Biographie
by Denis Bertholet, Bernd Schwibs, Achim Russer
Lange Zeit war er einer der großen Unbekannten der europäischen Literatur: Paul Valéry. Und das Bild vom Schöpfer kristalliner Dichtung und vom brillanten Essayisten, vom zurückgezogen lebenden Dichter im Elfenbeinturm eines Pariser Ministeriums zumindest äußerst einseitig. Denn in Paul Valéry kämpften widersprüchliche Energien: Da waren Lebenskrisen, die ihn zeitweise völlig aus der poetischen Bahn zu werfen drohten; da war die über zehnjährige obsessive Beziehung zu Catherine Pozzi, die seine Ehe gefährdete. Valérys Genie der Ordnung lief stets Gefahr, von Gefühlen überwältigt zu werden. Diese große Valéry-Biographie ist glänzend geschrieben und faktenreich, ohne sich im Detail zu verlieren. Sie erfaßt Leben und Werk des Schöpfers einflußreicher Meisterwerke wie "Monsieur Teste" und den "Cahiers". Daß Valéry aus Anlaß seines 140. Geburtstags in Deutschland mit Neuausgaben seines Werks, Kolloquien und dieser Biographie gewürdigt wird, bedeutet mehr als nur die Beachtung eines äußeren Datums. Es ist der Beleg dafür, daß die Reichweite seines Dichtungskonzepts erst heute ganz erfaßt wird.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 1996Colonial discourse / postcolonial theory
by Francis Barker, Peter Hulme, Margaret Iverson
The issues of colonialism and imperialism have recently come to the forefront of thinking in the humanities. Disciplines such as history, literature and anthropology are taking stock of their extensive and usually unacknowledged legacy of Empire. At the same time, contemporary cultural theory has had to respond to post-colonial pressure, with its different registers and agendas. This volume ranges, geographically, from Brazil to India and South Africa, from the Andes to the Caribbean and the USA. This range is matched by a breadth of historical perspectives. Central to the whole volume is a critique of the very idea of the "postcolonial" itself. Contributors include Annie Coombes, Simon During, Peter Hulme, Neil Lazarus, David Lloyd, Anne McClintock, Zita Nunes, Benita Parry, Graham Pechey, Mary Louise Pratt, Renato Rosaldo and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. ;

Dragon fruit (pitaya) is a perennial climbing cactus, native to the tropical areas of North, Central and South America. It is suited to tropical and subtropical regions and is commercially grown in an increasing number of countries, including Israel, Australia and the USA. Dragon fruit generates considerable consumer interest because of its exotic appearance and potential health benefits. The fruit is rich in nutrients and phytochemical compounds. It can be eaten fresh or used in the preparation of juices, jellies, jams, etc. The natural bioactive compounds in pitaya have the potential to be exploited in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Increasingly cultivated worldwide, the plant is drought-resistant, easily adapts to light intensity and high temperatures, and has a tolerance to a wide range of soil salinities. With ongoing global warming, dragon fruit has great potential as a new crop for many more countries. This book is a compilation of the current state of knowledge on dragon fruit physiology, cultivation, production technology, postharvest management and processing, and is written by leading international authors.

Curtis, Margaret J. Daniels, Edieser Dela Santa, C. Michael Hall, Manuel Ramón Gonzalez Herrera, Russell M. Hicks, Julie Judkins, N. Qwynne Lackey, Natalya Lawrence, Gustavo C. X. M. P.

Sleipness, Maria Anunciação Ventura, Therez B. Walker
Gateway communities that neighbour parks and protected areas are impacted by tourism, while facing unique circumstances related to protected area management. Economic dependency remains a serious challenge for these communities, especially in a climate of neoliberalism, top-down policy environments, and park closures related to environmental degradation or government budgets. The collection of works in this edited book provide bottom-up, informed, and nuanced approaches to tourism management using local experiences from gateway communities and protected areas management emerging from a decade of guidelines, rulemaking, and exclusive decision-making. Global perspectives are presented and contextualized at the local level of gateway communities in an attempt to balance nature, community, and commerce, while supporting the triple bottom line of sustainable tourism. While anticipating a post-COVID 19 global shift, readers are encouraged to think through transformation and resiliency in regard to how the flux of supply vs demand alters gateway community perspectives on tourism. Specific features of this book include: · Focus on transformations, which provides insight into the complex and dynamic nature of gateway communities. · Multidisciplinary, multi-cultural insights into protected area management. · Applied and conceptual chapters from global perspectives.

March 2019Amal and the most important journey of her life
by Carolina Montenegro and Renato Moriconi (translated by Lyn Miller-Lachmann
“How would it be for a child to cross oceans and borders all alone? “ This is what this surprising book called “AMAL – and The Most Important Journey of Her Life” leads young readers to imagine. For some children, it’s an unthinkable possibility. For hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied refugee children, a harsh reality. The book, published in two formats – app-book and printed edition - has support from UNCHR, the UN Refugee Agency. Written by foreign correspondent Carolina Montenegro and with visual narrative by Renato Moriconi, “Amal” is a tribute to refugee children.

January 2018Eugênio Kusnet: Do ator ao professor
by Piacentini, Ney
O livro de Ney Piacentini sobre o ator, diretor e professor Eugênio Kusnet preenche uma imperdoável lacuna sobre a influencia e o significado do trabalho de um dos mais influentes personagens da historia do moderno teatro brasileiro. Kusnet participou da formação dos dois mais importantes grupos que já tivemos, o Arena e o Oficina, ensinando e treinando nossos atores a trabalhar seus papéis, baseado numa peculiar e meticulosa abordagem do método do diretor, ator e teórico russo, Constantin Stanislasvski. Piacentini é ator de um dos mais valiosos grupos teatrais da atualidade a Cia do Latão, e foi presidente da Cooperativa Paulista de Teatro, agremiação fruto do trabalho de gerações, pioneira e fundamental no desenvolvimento do teatro paulista. Ney narra a trajetória do mestre Kusnet por meio de documentos, reportagens e, principalmente, depoimentos de prestigiosos profissionais como Fernanda Montenegro, Renato Borghi, Walmor Chagas, José Renato, Flávio Migliaccio, Miriam Mehler, Maria Della Costa e José Celso Martinez Correa. Um livro escrito com a inspirada devoção de quem entende o teatro como estímulo transformador. Essencial para quem se interessa pela nossa arte. — Paulo Betti
