C’est l’histoire d’un garçon fluet qui au début n’aimait pas manger et il était très maigre, mais ensuite, quand il a finalement commencé à manger – il n’arrêtait plus. C’était terrible: quand il était maigre, son pantalon tombait, et lorsqu’il a gagné du poids, alors les coutures craquaient. Que peut-on faire? Demandez à sa mère qui a une solution pour chaque problème. Ce livre, qui s’est vendu extrêmement bien en Israël pendant les dix dernières années, est devenu récemment encore plus populaire lorsque parents et enfants sont devenus plus conscients du problème de l’obésité chez les enfants. Bien que cette histoire ait une morale, son grand succès (12 éditions ont été publiées à ce jour!) découle principalement de l’amusement que les jeunes lecteurs éprouvent à lire cette histoire. L’auteur, Israël Wiesler (surnommé “Poochoo”), est né à Tel-Aviv et a publié son premier livre, “Quelle bande,” à l’âge de 26 ans. “Quelle bande” a gagné un prix littéraire important, est devenu un best-seller et a été adapté en film qui a eu du succès. Depuis, Wiesler a écrit plus de trente livres et des douzaines de scripts pour des séries de télévisions dirigées pour les enfants et les jeunes adultes. Les ouvrages de Wiesler, écrits avec un sens de l’humour chaleureux et particulier, a gagné six prix littéraires en Israël. Dans le fameux “Lexique Ofek” de la littérature enfantine en hébreu, Wiesler est décrit comme “le meilleur écrivain humoristique pour enfants et jeunes adultes en Israël.” Poochoo est l’un des trois seuls écrivains israéliens à avoir été honorés l’an dernier par l’impression d’un timbre-poste représentant la couverture de l’un de ses livres.

Nimbus, die dunkle Wolke, ist eine Erscheinung aus Schwung, Pracht, Weite, und doch gehört sie dem Formlosen, Ungreifbaren. Sie entfaltet Wirkung, sie bestimmt die Atmosphäre, zugleich entzieht sie sich, bleibt unbeherrschbar. Mit festem Griff und Subtilität, Witz und Zärtlichkeit unternimmt Marion Poschmann in ihren neuen Gedichten den Versuch, Nähe und Ferne zusammenzudenken und die maßlosen Kräfte der äußeren Gegenwart in einen Raum der Innigkeit zu verwandeln. Aber wo ist innen? Die Erforschung Sibiriens vor Beginn der Industrialisierung, flüchtige Begegnungen mit Tieren, die Nuanciertheit eines Farbtons oder die Verletzlichkeit von Eismassen spiegeln ebenso wie die kleinen magischen Praktiken des Alltags die Einzigartigkeit der globalen Veränderung. Nimbus ist eine Feier des Sublimen und des Schönen, mitreißend und formbewusst, unverwechselbar im Ton, lustvoll und philosophisch.

A statement on otherness, a song of love and sincerity, Poème pour une petite fille à l’autre bout du monde is an invitation into the intimate sphere of the poet. It is the figuration of the paternal real brought to its highest point. A father and a little girl meet somewhere, at the other end of a street or a railway station, to talk about friendship, life and their regrets, to take stock of all their failed acts and to give each other reasons to love each other, despite the distance, the disarray and the madness that can arise from absence.

Using music as a thread that connects the past to the present, this novel explores what happens when traditional and cultural heritage clash with modernity. The characters face the impact of modernization on heritage and arts versus the need to protect and preserve their traditional culture and must choose between the pursuit of materialism versus spiritual balance. Al Qarmalawi writes about a wide range of music from Sufism to the present era of electronic musical arts, and Summer Rains addresses the current Arab youth crisis, in which young people find themselves torn between fundamentalism and modernity. (An extended English-language report on this book will be available soon.)

Rainfed agriculture is generally overlooked by development investors, researchers and policy makers due to limited confidence in its ability to increase agricultural production and development. However, research undertaken by a team of leading scientists from global organizations demonstrates its potential in achieving food security, improving livelihoods and most importantly addressing issues of equity and poverty reduction in dryland areas - the hot spots of poverty. On the basis of case studies from varied agricultural and ecological regions in Asia and Africa, chapters discuss the need for adopting new paradigms between rainfed and irrigated agriculture, catchment/micro-watershed management approaches, upgrades in science-based development and more investments in rainfed areas. Yield gaps for major rainfed crops are analysed globally and possible ways and means including technological, social, and institutional options to bridge the yield gaps are discussed in detail. Covering areas such as rainwater harvesting and its efficient use, the rehabilitation of degraded land and assessment methods for social, environmental and economic impacts, this book will be necessary for both academics and policy makers working in water management, agriculture and sustainable development.
