Fiction2019Tell Nobody
by Sasha Kaminska
Every girl or woman has plenty of secrets. But at times these special secrets, sometimes ancient and sometimes terrible, are hidden so deeply in the memory or subconsciousness that even the closest people don’t suspect of their existence. ‘Tell Nobody’ is not only the book’s title, but also the rule many girls and women live with. It’s related to physicality, shame, stress and abuse. Unable to share their emotions, discuss the problem and find the way out of the situation, the girls and women end up in the vicious circle of their feelings and emotions. The fourteen-year-old protagonist of ‘Tell Nobody’ rebels against her parents, does silly things, finds herself in dangerous situations and tries to understand and accept herself. 16+

September 1992Tell gegen Hitler
Historische Studien
by Rolf Hochhuth, Karl Pestalozzi
Dieses Buch, 1992 zum erstenmal erschienen, enthält in vier Prosatexten und acht Gedichten das politische und künstlerische Credo Rolf Hochhuths. In seiner 1967 an der Universität Essen gehaltenen Antrittsvorlesung »Die Entstehung der Tragödie aus der Politik« reklamiert er als Pflicht jedes Demokraten, Probleme der Politik öffentlich zu behandeln. In seinem Aufsatz über Goethes Vers »Was Völker sterbend hinterlassen« sieht er Geschichte als Nebeneinander wechselnder Kulturkreise, ebenso in seiner Studie über Oswald Spenglers Geschichtsphilosophie. In »Tell gegen Hitler«, der Trauerrede auf den Schweizer Maurice Bavaud, der 1938 Hitler töten wollte und 1941 hingerichtet wurde, erhebt er den Tyrannenmord zur moralischen Pflicht.

Near collapse, they ski into a mysterious valley with an ancient hacienda, a busy Spanish family, and a village with no electricity, no plumbing, no cars, no phones, and definitely no Walmart.A vacation that began a few days earlier helping his Granddad clean and decorate for a huge family celebration had now become a mind-boggling mystery. And young Mogi's anguish trying to come to terms with his grandmother's death from cancer the previous Christmas turns to fear and danger when he is accused of stealing a religious icon the town prizes above all others–and which holds the key to solving an ancient legend of missing Spanish gold.It's the latest book of the exciting Mogi Franklin Mysteries–shadowy figures, secret societies, a town like no other. Is this all reality or illusion? Mogi must find the answers, even as he struggles with the memory of his grandmother's death and the mysteries of faith it brought him which he now must answer as well.

Ukiyo-e
by Li Pan
Ukiyo-e is a print art popular during the Edo period (1601-1867) in Japan. It is known as the "encyclopedia of Japanese folklore". It features oiran beauty, Kabuki actors, erotic charms, scenery, flowers, birds, and social customs, representing the lifestyles and fashions of all classes of society at that time. Pan Li, an authority on Ukiyo-e research, clearly described the 300-year history of the rise and fall of Ukiyo-e. The ins and outs of 7 major genres including Torii School and Utagawa School, the life stories and artistic achievements of 31 masters including Kitagawa Utamaro, Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Hiroshige, etc., more than 200 classic works such as "One Hundred Views of Edo" "Three Beauties of the Present Day" "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" are perfectly displayed and fully analyzed in the book. Every Ukiyo-e picture carries a wealth of Japanese folk culture codes. Only by unlocking this information in detail can we say that we truly understand Ukiyo-e and have a more accurate understanding of Japanese culture. ——Pan Li 浮世绘是流行于日本江户时代（1601-1867）、出自民间画工的版画艺术，被誉为“日本民俗的百科全书”，它以花魁美人、歌舞伎演员、春宫魅惑、民俗风景、花鸟虫鱼等社会风俗为主要题材，表现当时社会各阶层的生活百态和流行时尚。 中国浮世绘研究权威潘力清晰地讲述了浮世绘300年的兴衰史。鸟居派、歌川派等7大流派的来龙去脉，喜多川歌麿、葛饰北斋、歌川广重等31位大师的生平故事与艺术成就，《歌撰恋之部》《富岳三十六景》《名所江户百景》等200多幅经典作品的风格解析，都在书中得到了完美展现。 每一幅浮世绘都承载着丰富的日本民俗文化密码，只有巨细无遗地解锁这些信息，才能说是真正看懂浮世绘，也才能对日本文化有更准确的认识。——潘力
