November 1985Hermann Hesse
Sein Leben und sein Werk
by Hugo Ball
Hugo Balls faszinierende Biographie erschien 1927 zu Hermann Hesses 50. Geburtstag, und sie ist bis heute weder überholt noch übertroffen. Denn Hugo Ball war zu sehr selber Künstler, als daß ihm die Problematik Hesses aus seinem eigenen Leben nicht vertraut gewesen wäre. Seit 1920 war er mit Hesse bekannt und hat mehrere Jahre zunächst als kritischer Augenzeuge, später als Freund und vertrautester Gesprächspartner in Hesses unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft gelebt.

October 2007Engel und Dämonen der Peripherie
Essays
by Juri Andruchowytsch, Sabine Stöhr
„Ein bißchen Sisyphos, ein bißchen Sacher-Masoch“ lautet die Selbstbeschreibung des bekanntesten ukrainischen Schriftstellers im Jahr 2007. Die „orange Revolution“ liegt weit zurück, fast alle Hoffnungen sind begraben, „fangen wir wieder von vorn an“… Bei den frühen, prägenden Lektüren, Hesse, Benn und Lina Kostenko, bei den Happenings von Bu-Ba-Bu. In Essays und Notaten aus den letzten Jahren setzt Andruchowytsch die literarischen und geopoetischen Erkundungen des Letzten Territoriums (es 2446) fort, etwa mit dem Nachruf auf den Zug 76, der einst die Ostsee mit dem Schwarzen Meer verband. Provokant und seiner Gegenwart stets ein Stück voraus konfrontiert er uns mit der Frage, wo die Ukraine eigentlich liegt: im Schatten Rußlands oder in einer „Grauzone guter Nachbarschaft“, die Europa ihr gewährt.

November 2021Die Hydra des Dschihadismus
Entstehung, Ausbreitung und Abwehr einer globalen Gefahr
by Asiem El Difraoui
Nachdem der »IS« in Trümmern lag und »Kalif« al-Baghdadi im Oktober 2019 von US-Truppen getötet wurde, schien der »Krieg gegen den Terror« einmal mehr beendet. Aber der Dschihadismus ist längst eine globale Bewegung geworden, der Dutzende von Organisationen angehören – und mit Gewalt allein ist ihr nicht beizukommen.Seit drei Jahrzehnten verfolgt Asiem El Difraoui als Filmemacher, Journalist und Wissenschaftler diese Entwicklung. Er traf Kampfgefährten bin Ladens in Khartum und PR-Strategen, die in Berlin-Charlottenburg Propagandavideos produzierten. In Kriegsgebieten wie Bosnien, dem Irak oder in Afghanistan hat er selbst den Terror gegen die Bevölkerung miterlebt. Und immer wieder kam der Terror auch zu ihm, wie in Gestalt der Anschläge 1995 und 2015 in Paris, die sich in seiner unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft ereigneten. Kenntnisreich und anschaulich schildert Difraoui, wie der Dschihadismus entstanden ist, wie seine Denkmuster und PR-Strategien sich gewandelt haben und woraus die Hydra ihre Kraft bezieht. Was macht die todbringende Ideologie gerade auch für junge Menschen in Europa attraktiv? Welchen Anteil hat der Westen, haben die Medien an ihrem Erfolg? Und wie kann es gelingen, ihre Macht zu brechen? Ein aufrüttelnder Appell, sich einer der größten Gefahren der Gegenwart zu stellen.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2019Ich habe Licht gebracht!
Louise Otto-Peters, eine deutsche Revolutionärin
by Zimmer, Anja
"I have brought light", cries five-year-old Louise Otto when she is allowed to light one of the new sulphur woods for the first time."Bringing light" - This resolution runs like a red thread through Louise's life. At a time when bourgeois girls are not even allowed to leave the house alone, Louise travels Germany all by herself. And although it is strictly forbidden to even mention grievances, Louise's political poems, articles and novels repeatedly highlight the appalling living conditions of the industrial proletariat, focusing on the rightsless female workers. And she realises that there can be no social justice without equality between men and women. She demands - almost painfully topical - equal pay and the right to work for all women. Great hope for change is finally brought by the revolution that begins in March 1848. Louise and her like-minded friends already believe they have achieved their goals when a National Assembly is set up in Frankfurt's Paulskirche. In order to create a network of solidarity for women in this atmosphere of new beginnings, Louise founds Germany's first women's newspaper. She finds a supporter in the young revolutionary August Peters, with whom she soon has more than one friendship. But the counter-revolution is not long in coming: when the Dresden May Uprising is bloodily crushed, Louise is subjected to spying and interrogation. Her world is completely darkened when she learns that August Peter is a prisoner of the Prussian army ... Anja Zimmer describes the life of the writer and co-founder of the German women's movement Louise Otto-Peters (1819-1895) in an exciting novel and shows that many of Louise's demands have lost none of their topicality.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2018Danube 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.

Solothurn tanzt mit dem Teufel
Solothurn dances with the devil
by Christof Gasser
On "Dirty Thursday", the start of the Solothurn carnival, the corpse of a young woman is found at the Krummtower. A tattoo with the number 666 on the corpse leads Captain Dominik Dornach to a series of past murders in the Red Light District, where victims had the same tattoo. While Dornach investigates these first clues, his daughter, who works in Iraq for the UN, is targeted by terrorists. Everything that is important to Dornach seems to be threatened. Christof Gasser belongs to a new generation of Swiss crime authors who have a completely new self-image and literary self-confidence. He advanced especially with his Solothurn crime novel series within a few years to become one of the most popular writers in Switzerland. The investigating team around cantonal policeman Dominik Dornach and Public Prosecutor Angela Casagrande is the centrepiece of his success. "Solothurn tanzt mit dem Teufel“ ("Solothurn Dances with the Devil") is the fourth part of this bestseller series and completes the series of four books around the illustrious duo Dornach/Casagrande. The story takes place in the not always peaceful cantonal capital of Solothurn, and also in Vienna, Paris and even in the Iraqi provincial city of Samarra and Amman in Jordan. Gasser shows in an original way how fatal a global network of international politics, organised crime and terrorism can be for the life of his protagonists. In his usual fast-paced and dense style, he tells an extremely impressive and current story, which shows how complex and relevant crime literature can be.

True war & combat storiesAppartement 102 - Omarska
Ein Zeitzeugnis
by Jadranka Cigelj
Vergewaltigung als Waffe im Krieg! Jadranka Cigelj, bosnische Kroatin, Rechtsanwältin, Politikerin und Menschenrechtsaktivistin, wurde am 14. Juni 1992 zwei Monate im Konzentrationslager Omarska eingekerkert, dem berüchtigten von Serben errichteten Lager im bosnischen Krieg. Der Raum im KZ Omarska, in dem sie mit siebzehn weiteren Frauen gefangen gehalten und gefoltert wurde, war „Appartement 102“. Schonungslos offen schildert sie das tägliche Überleben in einer entmenschlichten Wirklichkeit, in der Folter, Vergewaltigung und das Töten mit Messern und Fäusten zum Alltag gehörten, ausgeführt von Menschen, die sie bis dahin als Nachbarn, Kollegen und Freunde kannte. Ungefähr 3000 Männer, meist bosnische Muslime, wurden in Omarska ermordet, dessen Kommandant, Željko Mejakić, wegen Kriegsverbrechen vor dem Tribunal in Den Haag angeklagt ist. Frau Cigelj war eine von 37 gefangenen Frauen in Omarska, fünf von ihnen wurden getötet. Sie lebt heute in Zagreb und ist Zeugin der Anklage in diesem Prozess. Zeitzeuginnen

Technology, Engineering & AgricultureSeptember 2019Landschaftswandel. Das Mitteldeutsche Seenland – Die Erde hat Gedächtnis
by Eißmann, Lothar/Junge, Frank W.
The uniquely documented transformation of the mining region in Central Germany tells a story of global dimensions. An insight into the natural mutability of the earth and its living creations, incomparable in space and time, becomes visible. The layers exposed in the open-cast lignite mines become a journey through time for those in the know, through the millions of years of our earth up to the present day. Stages and witnesses of the transformation in a region: from the natural tropical moorland, sea and ice age land, to the settlement and cultural land of early man, to the mining and industrial land and the new beginning, the transformation of a large region into a lake landscape.Today's man-made lake district is taking shape and becoming a global model and testing ground for the large-scale transformation of a post-mining landscape. The experiences of the Central German region become a global model case of wound healing of man-made, hostile landscape interventions and an opportunity to design in reverence and adaptation to "Mother Earth".
