        Triest

        Stadt der Winde

        by Veit Heinichen, Ami Scabar

        Die »rosa dei venti«, die Windrose am Hafen, erzählt uns: Triest ist die Stadt der Winde. Sie haben Düfte und Geschmacksnoten aus allen Himmelsrichtungen in die Hafenstadt gebracht: Aus dem Nordosten kamen Gulasch und Palatschinken, aus dem Westen der Stockfisch und aus dem Süden Zitrusfrüchte und Safran. Veit Heinichen hat seine Heimat in der Fremde gefunden. Zusammen mit der Spitzenköchin Ami Scabar lädt er zu einer Entdeckung des faszinierenden Mythos Triest ein: Ob bei den Weinbauern auf dem Karst über der Stadt, in den Fischerdörfchen an der Adria oder bei Spaziergängen auf den Spuren von Rilke und Joyce – dieser Reisebegleiter ist ein Genuss für alle Sinne. - Mit farbigen Fotografien und Rezepten

        Die Geschichte meiner italienischen Großmutter

        by Thomas de Padova

        Jeden Sommer verbrachte Thomas de Padova in einem Dorf am Meer in Apulien, Geburtsort seines Vaters, Großvaters und Urgroßvaters – drei Männer, die irgendwann aus Italien aufbrachen in die Welt. Seine Großmutter blieb. Jahr für Jahr erwartet sie ihn, still auf einem Stuhl sitzend, im Dunkel ihres Zimmers: eine alte, schwarz gekleidete Frau, die ohne Kühlschrank lebt. Warum hat der Großvater seine Frau immer behandelt, als existierte sie nicht? Was hat die beiden vor mehr als einem halben Jahrhundert aneinandergebunden? Diese Geschichte ist eine Schatzkammer: Erfüllt vom hellen Licht der Adria und durchzogen von uralten Geheimnissen, bewahrt sie in knappen, leuchtend klaren Szenen eine ganze Welt in sich auf. Thomas de Padova erzählt von der Welt seiner Großmutter in Italien, stimmungsvoll und leuchtend klar.

        Ein Atlas des verschwindenden Europas

        by Katharina Raabe, Monika Sznajderman

        Europa verändert sein Gesicht. Orte und Landschaften werden verlassen, sie verfallen oder verschwinden ganz. Zwischen Atlantik und Kaspischem Meer, zwischen Adria und Barentssee stößt man auf Ruinen der modernen Zivilisation: auf Industriebrachen, einstürzende Bahnhöfe, Kasernen und Sanatorien, auf tote Schienenstränge oder unentzifferbare Grabinschriften. Vor allem in Mittel- und Osteuropa sind die Narben einer von Krieg, Vertreibung und megalomanischer Naturbeherrschung gekennzeichneten Epoche noch sichtbar. Autorinnen und Autoren aus fünfzehn europäischen Ländern haben ihre sie besonders inspirierenden Orte besucht und erkundet - fragile Stadtviertel, zerfallene Dörfer, abbröckelnde Küstenstriche, deren Aura gefangennimmt, die ein Geheimnis bergen, das ergründet werden will. Liegt ihr Zauber darin, daß sie die letzten ihrer Art sind? Unterirdische Beziehungen, überraschende kulturelle Verwandtschaften zwischen weit voneinander entfernten Regionen werden sichtbar - Zeugen einer gemeinsamen Geschichte, deren undeutlich werdende Spuren kurz vor dem Verschwinden nachgezeichnet werden. Ergänzt um photographische Arbeiten von Künstlern, die sich unabhängig von den Autoren auf den Weg gemacht haben, um einen letzten Blick auf Vergessenes und Verlorenes zwischen Belgrad und Istanbul, Lissabon und Königsberg zu werfen, vermittelt dieser Band eine Ahnung von dem so fragilen wie bezaubernden Reichtum unseres Kontinents.

        Alpe-Adria Trail

        From the Alps to the Adriatic: Hiking through Austria, Slovenia & Italy

        by Bradt Guides

        This is the first English-language guide to the epic new 750-km hiking route through the mountains of Austria, Slovenia and Italy, from the foot of the Grossglockner (at 3,798m, the highest peak in Austria and the Eastern Alps) to Muggia near Trieste on the Adriatic coast. Detailed maps and route descriptions for all 43 stages of the route are included, with a clear breakdown of time, distance and ascent for each stage. Published in a small, handy-sized format which is easy to pack and carry, it is written by an expert who has authored over half a dozen hiking guides and who specialises in Eastern and Central Europe. He has been a regular visitor to the borderlands of Slovenia, Austria and Italy for over 15 years, as well as living for two years in neighbouring Croatia. The Alpe-Adria route is well marked, relatively easy to walk and is suitable for hikers of all abilities as well as families – a point which is emphasised in the guide. The route takes in spectacular, unspoilt mountain scenery, alpine lakes, rolling coastal hills, beautiful villages and several national parks and nature reserves. An introduction covering the history, wildlife, flora and geography of the area is included, along with accommodation details for each stage and information on local public transport, culture, food and language.

        The Man Who Came Out of the 3-D Printer (Der Mann, der aus dem 3D-Drucker kam)

        by Max Claro

        On his seventieth birthday, Walter Fabricius, a once-celebrated actor now widowed and forgotten, is determined to end his life surrounded by his children. While preparing to shuffle off this mortal coil, he learns of an almost unbelievable opportunity: in Zurich he can have himself scanned and then, by means of a special 3D bioprinter, reproduced—thirty-five years younger to boot—in Bangkok. With his present-day knowledge and life experience, yet with countless flaws rectified, equipped with a revivified sex drive, and more resistant to illness and resilient than in his old body, Walter doesn’t hesitate long. Yet during the printing process, a fateful error occurs, upending everything and leading his youthful alter ego on a breathless trip through a future Thailand—and to Walter himself.

        Danube Swabians

        German Settlers in Southeast Europe

        by Gerhard Seewann, Michael Portmann

        In the 18th century, ships regularly sailed downstream from German Danube ports. People who promised themselves a better future in Southeastern Europe allowed themselves to be embarked. Most of them came from the southwestern countries of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. Their destination was the Kingdom of Hungary, where after liberation from Turkish occupation manpower was needed. The immigrants were called “Swabians” regardless of their origin. They were economically successful and left their mark on large areas of the country. After 1918 these groups, now called “Danube Swabians”, belonged to three different states: Romania, Hungary and Yugoslavia. Starting in 1944, hundreds of thousands lost their homes and thousands their lives through flight, expulsion, persecution and deportation. The majority of the uprooted found refuge in southern Germany. Only the Swabians in Romania and a part of the Hungarian Germans were allowed to stay. Many of them came to Germany as late repatriates, the remaining ones today form active German minorities in their home countries.

        or: News from the Middle of Nowhere

        by Eva Rottmann

        About young love and old hate   Mathilda’s first meeting with Milad is rather shocking: She has to tear him off the rails at the last moment before a train arrives! But it turns out, that he did not want to kill himself, he just wanted to get a kick and feel he is alive.   Mats, as Mathilda calls herself, and Milad like each other almost from the first moment they’ve met. She, the outsider in her school, he who works in the garage of his dad, who originally is from Lebanon. They could be a pair. Could – if it weren't for the beautiful Alex, who didn't miss the fact that Milad looks pretty good on the one hand. And – on the other hand – for David, who has fallen in love with Mats, but also hangs out with the Nazi gang of the town.   This gang really becomes active when it turns out that the asylum seekers' home in the neighbouringcity is asbestos contaminated and the refugees have to be relocated to the sport hall of their village. More and more the citizens become concerned because of the “hordes of foreigners” who might come to town. And when the sport hall goes up in flames, everything gets out of control ...
