        Porträt eines jungen Kochs

        Roman

        by Maylis Kerangal, Andrea Spingler

        Mit frischem Universitätsabschluss in der Tasche, beschließt der junge Franzose Mauro, seinem bisherigen Leben den Rücken zu kehren. Er will sich nun voll und ganz seiner wirklichen Leidenschaft verschreiben: dem Kochen. Mit seinem Fahrrad rast Mauro von Brasserien über Bistros zu Sternerestaurants, er kocht in Berlin und in Burma, springt vom Blanchieren zum Sautieren, von Bouillons zu Sorbets, von Marktgängen zu Nachtschichten – und eröffnet schließlich seinen eigenen kleinen Laden. Fünfzehn Lehrjahre, gezeichnet von geschundenen Händen, Schlafmangel und einer schleichend zerrinnenden Freizeit. Aber auch ein sinnliches Abenteuer der absoluten Hingabe und der Kunst des perfekten Menüs. Maylis de Kerangal erzählt vom unvergesslichen Geschmack, der in einer Ochsenherztomate oder einem Strauch Wildkräuter steckt – und davon, wie sehr es einen Koch beglücken kann, die eigene kulinarische Philosophie zu finden.

        Dieses 1937 im Insel Verlag erschienene Buch wird nun – nachdem es viele Jahre vergriffen war – erstmals wieder neu aufgelegt, und dies als Band der Insel-Bücherei. Format und vorzügliche Ausstattung dieses in zwei Farben gedruckten Buches legen die Veränderung nahe: Die Lieder sind zweistimmig von Helmut Walcha gesetzt. Für Notenschrift und Satzgestaltung zeichnet Paul Koch. Von Willi Harwerth stammen Titelzeichnungen und Vignetten. 1963 betrug die Gesamtauflage 213 Tausend Exemplare.Fünfundzwanzig Lieder zum Advent und zur Weihnacht, Kirchen- und geistliche Volkslieder. Sie zählen zu jenen, die uns unverzichtbar sind, wenn wir uns dem Ende des Jahres mit seinen besinnungsreichen, fröhlichen, frommen Festen nähern. Ein kleines Buch, dessen wir uns selbst vergewissern möchten und das, wenn es ein Geschenk ist, zur schönen Botschaft wird.

        Cultural Perplexity in Agonized Travel (ultimate revised edition with illustrations)

        by Yu Qiuyu

        Cultural Perplexity in Agonized Travel is the salable classic cultural prose of Yu Qiuyu, which was first published in 1992. From then, Yu has painstakingly modified and rewritten this book in subsequent republications during the last 25 years. Cultural Perplexity in Agonized Travel (ultimate revised edition with illustrations), published by Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House, has went through lots of supplement and revise on the basis of the old versions. The most vital revise is deleting the fourth part "Life Journey", adding several significant articles in Mountain Home Notes, and increasing 23 illustrations. This version is examined and approved by Yu Qiuyu himself. Several articles in the book have been selected into the Chinese textbooks of middle school.

        Die Wiederkehr der Illusion

        Der Film und die Kunst der Gegenwart

        by Gertrud Koch

        Die Ästhetik der Illusion wird zwar gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts verabschiedet, aber zur selben Zeit lässt der Film sie über die Hintertür wieder hinein. Von dort werden die ästhetischen Verfahren der Illusion in die anderen Künste reimportiert: auf Opern- und Theaterbühnen, in Galerien und Museen wird mit neuen Formen der Einbindung von Film und Video experimentiert. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser zeitgenössischen ästhetischen Praxis der Entgrenzung legt Gertrud Kochs filmtheoretische Studie die grundlegende Rolle des Films in der Illusionsästhetik frei und analysiert deren Verfahren anhand konkreter Beispiele unter anderem aus dem Bereich des zeitgenössischen (Musik-)Theaters (u.a. Heiner Goebbels und René Pollesch) und der Bildenden Kunst.

        Beyond text?

        Critical practices and sensory anthropology

        by Rupert Cox, Andrew Irving, Christopher Wright

        This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons () open access license. Beyond text? Critical practices and sensory anthropology is about the relationship between anthropological understandings of the world, sensory perception and aesthetic practices. It suggests that if different sensory experiences embody and facilitate different kinds of knowledge, then we need to develop new methods and more creative forms of representation that are not based solely around text or on correspondence theories of truth. The volume brings together leading figures in anthropology, visual and sound studies to explore how knowledge, sensation and embodied experiences can be researched and represented by combining different visual, aural and textual forms which it demonstrates through an accompanying DVD. The book and DVD make an argument for a necessary, critical development in anthropological ways of knowing that take place not merely at the level of theory and representation but also through innovative fieldwork methods and media practices.

        The School Day Gifts

        China Story Picture Books

        by Xu Lu

        China Story Picture Books is the first set of children's picture books launched by the Bingxin Award Committee. This set of books covers the works of seven Bingxin Award-winning writers of different ages including children's literature masters and promising young writers. The illustrations are full of traditional Chinese cultural elements such as dragon lantern dance, paper cutting, oil paper umbrella, and bamboo. Powerful painters at home and abroad are invited to do illustrations, which brings interesting fusion and collision of Chinese and foreign cultures to the books. In addition to the original illustrations, the stories are more touching. Every child can harvest the courage and wisdom for growing up from these stories.   The series consists of 7 picture books: The Dragon Lantern, The Path of Golden Flowers, The Child in Three-Story Attic, The School Day Gifts, The Secret of Crossing, The Slope of Sisters.   The School Day Gifts tells the story of the growth of a young umbrella maker. After graduating from high school, the protagonist became an umbrella maker, but he had no courage to go back to the school celebration day. Daddy saw what was on his mind and secretly helped him prepare gifts for my teachers and classmates, which were dozens of old-fashioned oilpaper umbrellas made of golden bamboo bones and oilpaper. Eventually he proudly participated in the school day and recited the poet Ai Qing's The Umbrella.

        The Renaissance text

        Theory, editing, textuality

        by Andrew Murphy

        This collection of essays focuses attention on the broad issue of Renaissance textuality. It explores such topics as the position of the reader relative to the text; the impact of editorial strategies and modes of presentation on our understanding of the text; the complexities of extended textual histories; and the relevance of gender to the process of textual retrieval and preservation. The essays, whilst informed by contemporary theory, are not dominated by a single programmatic viewpoint. Reflecting the multiplicitous nature of Renaissance textuality, the collection provides space for a variety of different positions and lines of analysis and enquiry. The Renaissance text will be of interest to those with specialist concerns in editing, textuality and bibliography, and will also be of interest to those more generally concerned with Renaissance literature or with textual or literary history. ;

        Robert Koch's Ape

        The great mistake of the famous physician

        by Michael Lichtwarck-Aschoff

        During the corona crisis, Robert Koch‘s name has been on everyone‘s lips: Robert Koch is regarded as one of the shining lights in German medical history. However, the expedition that he undertakes in 1906 to the “protected area” of German East Africa even the institute named after him describes as the darkest chapter in Koch‘s history. Lichtwarck-Aschoff‘s oppressive book tells how the Nobel laureate conducted medical tests on people suffering from the sleeping sickness transmitted by the tsetse fly, and recommended the internment of sick people in camps. The aim was to preserve the labour power of the healthy colonised – even if that were at the cost of the infected suffering damage to their body and soul or even dying.
