October 2017Not Our Day to Die
by Michael Sullivan
It was work for Mike Sullivan–a flying job like the ones he'd done most of his life in many parts of the world–ferrying people, medicine, crops, supplies and almost anything else you can think of among the isolated jungle villages of Guatemala. Life in the farming co-ops there was simple, peaceful, and good, based on bedrocks of family, community, and faith.Then the repression began. A failed attempt at a coup had led to continued fighting between rebels and government, though in areas far from the almost-utopian Ixcan region. U.S. military and CIA intervention helped defeat the insurgency, but the social inequalities that had led to the movement remained, and the revolution went underground. The Guatemalan army, searching everywhere for those who opposed it, increased its control over the isolated jungle area. Co-op directors, teachers, catechists, and then anyone suspected of being one of or assisting the guerrillas was selectively "disappeared." The army turned to a scorched-earth policy, killing animals, burning crops, uprooting fruit trees, destroying towns, massacring their people. Throughout the Ixcan, those who survived fled. Some returned to their original mountain villages, others crossed the border into Mexico, and a third group survived for sixteen years hiding in the jungle–men, women, and children. Primeval growth took over the land as the war with the guerrilla movement raged on to encompass the entire nation.When finally peace accords were signed, the people of the Ixcan returned. Homes were rebuilt, land reclaimed, the area thrived again. But sixteen years were lost, along with countless lives. For Mike Sullivan, who had returned there when his help was needed, the story of those years–of how the people of the Ixcan survived, and of the many who didn't–was one that had to be told. In three visits, he conducted the interviews that form this book, talking with the villagers he'd known long before. At first, they spoke hesitantly, then with the flood force of vivid memory, telling of their first arrival at the Ixcan, the lives they'd made, and the years of the repression and worse. Their stories are gripping, fascinating, painful–but most of all, deeply human as we witness their struggle to survive and feel the force of the simple values that ultimately carried them through to a new and better life.

October 1982Reise nach Warschau
Eine Schilderung aus den Jahren 1791–1793
by Joachim Christoph Friedrich Schulz, Karl Dedecius, Daniel Chodowiecki, Wolfram Schäfer, Klaus Zernack
Überwiegend ist das Buch der Schilderung Polens gewidmet, einer Sicht der polnischen Entwicklung in den Jahren 1791 bis 1793. Der Verfasser J. Ch. F. Schulz (1762-1798) berichtet, was er, als Mitglied der kurländischen Abordnung der »Bürgerlichen Union« zum Warschauer Reichstag, erlebt hat: die gesellschaftliche Gliederung des Staates, Sitte und Erziehung, künstlerische Ausdrucksformen, die politische Verfassung nebst der »Topographie« der Hauptstadt. Doch es bleibt nicht bei historisch-sozialen »Merkwürdigkeiten«: Schulz fragt auch nach den Gründen des Niedergangs der »Republik Polen«.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2024Marie Duval
Maverick Victorian Cartoonist
by Simon Grennan, Roger Sabin, Julian Waite
Marie Duval: maverick Victorian cartoonist offers the first critical appraisal of the work of Marie Duval (Isabelle Émilie de Tessier, 1847-1890), one of the most unusual, pioneering and visionary cartoonists of the later nineteenth century. It discusses key themes and practices of Duval's vision and production, relative to the wider historic social, cultural and economic environments in which her work was made, distributed and read, identifing Duval as an exemplary radical practitioner. The book interrogates the relationships between the practices and the forms of print, story-telling, drawing and stage performance. It focuses on the creation of new types of cultural work by women and highlights the style of Duval's drawings relative to both the visual conventions of theatre production and the significance of the visualisation of amateurism and vulgarity. Marie Duval: maverick Victorian cartoonist establishes Duval as a unique but exemplary figure in a transformational period of the nineteenth century.

January 2011Liebesgedichte
by Nicolas Born, Tom Schulz
"Es ist Sonntag/die Mädchen kräuseln sich und Wolken/ziehen durch die Wohnungen –". Nicolas Born (1937-1979) zählt heute zu den bedeutendsten Schriftstellern der deutschen Nachkriegsliteratur. Mit seinen Gedichten erregte er Anfang der siebziger Jahre Aufmerksamkeit. Er hatte sich auf den Weg gemacht über die konkrete Alltäglichkeit hin zu einer Schule der lyrischen Empfindsamkeit, die in seinen Gedichten einen neuen Ausdruck fand. Seine Gedichte wollen berühren, ohne sich aufzudrängen, sie sind eine zärtliche Geste, ein lässiger Wink. Das Thema der Liebe bleibt bei Born nie nur ein Gegenstand des Privaten, sondern es sucht die Idee der Gemeinschaft, die Vision einer solidarischen Gesellschaft. Es sucht nach dem Verhältnis von Mensch, Tier und Natur – zueinander und miteinander. In einem Nachwort zu Gedichten ihres Vaters schrieb Katharina Born: "Alle Gedichte meines Vaters sind Liebesgedichte." Die schönsten und trefflichsten hat der Lyriker Tom Schulz für diesen Band ausgewählt.
