Children's & YADecember 2019The Middle
by Richa Jha and Eva Sanchez Gomez
The Middle is a story of a journey within a journey. A voracious reader, Azma, whose mind is full of questions as she reads, finds that the more books she consumes, the more the whys and hows in them consume her. One night, a torn scrap of paper floats into her room, carrying an incomplete line within its crinkles. She desperately searches for any missing words to complete the lonely phrase but failing at each attempt, she finally turns to writing her own beginning and end. The pages of The Middle are filled with surreal creatures - formidable, terrifying, looming – and these represent the fears and doubts of a mind struggling to make sense of the worlds captured within those books that only partially satisfy her as a reader. Azma embarks on an incomplete journey, ready to create its origin and end, finally realising the answers to all her impossible questions can only come to her when she writes her own version of the story. It is only then that the haunting creatures begin to soften and harmlessly melt away into themselves. Richa Jha’s lyrical prose and Eva Sanchez Gomez’s breathtaking visual poetry come together to narrate a tale that is both stunning and thought-provoking. For all the restless creative souls out there, The Middle presents an all-familiar trajectory of creating something new.

March 2009Gaudï in Manhattan
Eine phantastische Erzählung
by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
»Jahre später, als ich zuschaute, wie sich das Trauergefolge meines Meisters durch den Paseo de Gracia bewegte, erinnerte ich mich an den Tag, an dem ich Gaudí kennengelernt hatte und sich mein Schicksal für immer änderte.« Ein junger Architekturstudent begleitet den berühmten Architekten nach Amerika, wo Antonio Gaudí den Auftrag, einen Wolkenkratzer zu bauen, erhalten soll. Doch als sie in Manhattan ankommen, nehmen die Dinge einen ganz anderen Verlauf. Das Phantastische ist, wie Carlos Ruiz Zafón, der Autor des Welterfolgs Der Schatten des Windes, sagt, »der Grund- und Schlußstein im großen Palast der Literatur«. Das bestätigt auch diese kleine phantastische Erzählung, die Karl-Georg Hirsch mit unheimlichen Zeichnungen illustriert hat.

The Wall, Etc.
by Hamutal Bar-Yosef
The Wall, Etc. by Hamutal Bar-Yosef is a collection of eighteen powerfully written stories, some of which are based on true stories. Israel’s celebrated writer Amos Oz called the collection "especially strong and heartbreaking." Hamutal Bar-Yosef creates in The Wall, Etc., a tragicomic, sometimes grotesque slice-of-life narrative that portrays the human condition as the yawning abyss between desires and reality. She expresses great empathy and respect for the characters she depicts, and she enters their inner worlds with a breathtaking sensitivity. Hamutal Bar-Yosef is a well-known Israeli writer, poet, translator, and scholar. She was born in a kibbutz to parents who lost their family in the Holocaust. Her only brother was killed in Israel’s 1948 War of Independence. At age twenty, the author married the playwright Yosef Bar-Yosef and had four children; one committed suicide at sixteen. She provided for her family first as a high school teacher, and then by writing guides for teachers. The author didn’t write her PhD dissertation until after turning forty, and she became a professor of Hebrew literature at Ben-Gurion University. She has published eight scholarly books and fifteen books of poetry, and she has won numerous distinguished prizes for her poetry. Her collection of stories, The Wall, Etc., (originally titled Music) won the ASI (Association of Israeli Writers) prize. Professor Bar-Yosef has translated poetry and prose fiction from English, French, and Russian.

April 2013Der verlorene Freund
Roman
by Carlos María Domínguez, Susanne Lange
»Der verlorene Freund« erzählt von einer gedankenlosen Geste mit verhängnisvollen Folgen und der notwendigen Illusion menschlicher Nähe. Zwei Männer kommen ins Gespräch, lernen sich kennen, freunden sich an. Eines Tages stürzt der eine, ein passionierter Kunstsammler, sich aus dem Fenster, der andere bleibt ratlos zurück. Er nimmt, um die Beweggründe des Verstorbenen zu verstehen, Kontakt zu dessen Familie und Bekannten auf. Eine seltsame Geschichte zeichnet sich ab, die Spur führt ihn in eine gottverlassene Bergarbeitersiedlung voller sonderbarer Figuren und zurück zu einem dunklen Familiengeheimnis. Und während er sich dort in den Unwägbarkeiten eines anderen Lebens zu verlieren droht, macht er schließlich eine Entdeckung von niederschmetternder Einfachheit. Carlos María Domínguez, der große Solitär der südamerikanischen Literatur, hat einen großen kleinen Roman von eindringlicher Schönheit geschrieben, über Verlust und Verlorenheit und darüber, dass wir auch die nicht kennen, die uns vertraut sind.

The ArtsMay 2023Modern European cinema and love
by Richard Rushton
Modern European cinema and love examines nine European directors whose films contain stories about romantic love and marriage. The directors are Jean Renoir, Ingmar Bergman, Alain Resnais, Michelangelo Antonioni, Agnès Varda, François Truffaut, Federico Fellini, Jean-Luc Godard and Éric Rohmer. The book approaches questions of love and marriage from a philosophical perspective, applying the ideas of authors such as Stanley Cavell, Leo Bersani, Luce Irigaray and Alain Badiou, while also tracing key concepts from Freudian psychoanalysis. Each of the filmmakers engages deeply with notions of modern love and marriage, often in positive ways, but also in ways that question the institutions of love, marriage and the 'couple'.

He has won the 15th and 16th Five-One Project Awards,respectively, and The Northeast China has been selected on the list of 2021 Chinese Good Books.
"Never invest beyond theShanhai Pass", as the saying goes.The particular cultural environment and openness make the brain drain in Northeast China extremely serious. However, Miao Qing, a seemingly delicate doctoral student from a famous school, resolutely went northward because she had a personal plan thatwas related to both her father and herself, namely, to design a world-leading large aircraft. Her father once said that just as a poet without imagination must be a lousy poet, a country without advanced aircraft could never escape the fate of a backward country. For this reason, Miao Qing started her career atKunpeng Group, later went to Feiying Company to produce a leading small low-altitude aerial drone, and then sheplayed the leading role in the national G-31 project that designed a stealth supersonic aircraft and made a successful trial flight.
