        All Fools

        By George Chapman

        by Charles Edelman, David Bevington

        Of all the poets Francis Meres names in his famous Palladis Tamia, Wits Treasury (1598), just two rate a mention as being both 'our best for tragedy' and 'the best poets for comedy': William Shakespeare and George Chapman. All Fools, written in 1599, is the only Elizabethan comedy based directly on the plays of Terence. By taking episodes and characters from two brilliant works, The Self-Tormenter and The Brothers, Chapman creates something that is distinctly Elizabethan while remaining faithful to the spirit of the great Roman master. In this edition, an extensive introduction and commentary show how Chapman combines the literary and theatrical traditions of ancient Rome with everyday life in his own time to fashion a sparkling and innovative comedy that will delight audiences today as much as it did those of 1599.

        Plant Breeding and Whole-System Crop Physiology

        Improving Adaptation, Maturity and Yield

        by Don H Wallace, Weikai Yan

        Improvements in adaptation and maturity leading to greater yield are the most important criteria for the acceptance of a new crop cultivar, since it is the yield which dictates the economic value of the crop. Therefore, yield improvement is one goal of virtually every crop breeding program. Many such programs have tended to concentrate on identifying the genetic traits responsible for higher yield and selecting each of them in the later stages of the breeding cycle. However, selection for yield per se is still the most effective method, since it is a combination of traits, operating within the limits of the system, which finally determines yield. This book presents a whole-system, or holistic viewpoint for the improvement of adaptation, maturity and yield. Central to its thesis is recognition that system-established changes in levels of the components of the plant system, within a constant capacity, i.e. within the limitations of the system, determines yield and other cultivar characteristics. It goes on to describe how this can improve our understanding of plant systems and enable breeders to maximise performance under prevailing field conditions. Based principally on 25 years research by the authors, the ideas presented in this book are essential reading for crop physiologists and plant breeders.

        The Best of H. P. Lovecraft

        by H. P. Lovecraft, Rudolf Hermstein, H. C. Artmann

        Mit seinem Cthulu-Mythos wollte H. P. Lovecraft eine Atmosphäre kosmischen Grauens schaffen, die Archaisches mit den modernen Erkenntnissen der Wissenschaft verbindet und unserer Zeit angemessen ist. Die Angst hielt er für das älteste und stärkste Gefühl, mit dem er in seinen Erzählungen gerne spielte. Die besten Erzählungen von H. P. Lovecraft sind in diesem Rand zusammengefaßt.

        All die schönen Winter

        Geschichten aus wunderweißen Tagen

        by Clara Paul

        Wo sind sie geblieben: All die schönen Winter? Die Tage mit kälteklirrender Sonnenluft und flaumleichten Flockentanz, wenn der glitzernde Schnee unter den Schuhen knirscht und eine weißverzauberte Welt sich vor einem auftut? Diese Tage des Glücks gibt es noch und wird es immer geben, denn die Erinnerung an sie ist aufbewahrt in den hier versammelten Geschichten über Winterfreuden und Schneevergnügen, über kristallklare Frosttage und tannenduftende Nächte ‒ und über all das, was am Winter schön war und schön ist. Hiervon erzählen Peter Bichsel, Lily Brett, Doris Dörrie, Max Frisch, Hermann Hesse, Elke Heidenreich, Patricia Highsmith, Mascha Kaléko, Marie Luise Kaschnitz, Erich Kästner, Katherine May, Andrzej Stasiuk, Robert Walser u. v. a.

        All die unbewohnten Zimmer

        by Friedrich Ani

        Eine Bibliothekarin wird in einem Park in München erschossen, ein Polizist verletzt. Ein Streifenpolizist wird erschlagen am Rande einer rechtsradikalen Demonstration. Zur Aufklärung bietet Friedrich Ani gleich vier Ermittler auf, man kennt sie aus seinen anderen Büchern: Polonius Fischer, Jakob Franck, Tabor Süden sowie Fariza Nasri. Ohne sie wären die Fälle nicht aufzuklären, denn die Vier sehen sich mit einem Kaleidoskop von menschlichem Leid, Rache- und Machtgelüsten, privaten Vorlieben, politischen Umtrieben und gesellschaftlichen Spaltungen konfrontiert, kurz mit einem Kosmos, der die gesamte Situation nicht nur Deutschlands in nuce widerspiegelt. All die unbewohnten Zimmer schlägt eine Schneise durch das Gestrüpp der politischen und individuellen Verfasstheit unserer Zeit. Friedrich Ani legt einen ebenso überraschungsreichen Krimi wie abgrundtief bösen Gesellschaftsroman vor. Er lässt uns das Böse und (das nie zu erreichende) Gute neu begreifen.

        by Shui Yunxian is a national first-class writer, a member of the 7th All-Committee of the China Writers Association, and also the honorary president of the Hunan Writers Association. He has been granted a special government allowance.

        Red Flowers tells the story of how, in the late 1960s, a group of college students, including the protagonist, came to the Dehua Electric Motor Manufacturing Factory, learned and practiced in the manufacturing workshop, and achieved personal development. For the protagonist, his master, who was nicknamed "Beard Mo," was both a master and a rival. Conflicts arose almost everywhere between the two. However, the conflicts also reflected their awe of ordinary work, pursuit of perfection, persistence in dreams, and flawless interpretation of the craftsmanship spirit.

        Ode to Youth

        by Shi Zhongshan is a writer, scriptwriter, and television producer. He has written novels such as The New Generation in the Military Compound and Hailing from All Corners of the Country and novelettes such as Years of Passion Burning, Resonance of Military Songs,and Happiness as Flowers, of which over thirty have been adapted for over one thousand episodes of TV plays.

        Dong Hongmei's father died of disability after the war, and her mother mysteriously “disappeared” when she was three years old. The tragic life experience indicates that her growth will be bumpy. However, her life turned a corner as she became the so-called "child of high-ranking officials," and she managed to drag herself out of the morass of despair. By virtue of the identity of "the child of high-ranking officials," all kinds of good things, such as awards, promotion, and the opportunity of going to Beijing, followed close on one another, while all these actually resulted from a huge misunderstanding... Dong Hongmei's life is full of affecting friendship, thereby making Ode to Youth a rare masterpiece full of romantic feelings in contemporary literary circles.

        Ein fauler Gott

        by Stephan Lohse

        Sommer 1972. Benjamin ist vor einigen Wochen elf geworden. Im nächsten Schuljahr wird er ein Herrenrad bekommen, eine Freundin und vielleicht eine tiefe Stimme. Doch dann stirbt sein kleiner Bruder Jonas. Nachts sitzt Bens Mutter auf einer Heizdecke und weint. Ben kommt nun extra pünktlich nach Hause, er spielt ihr auf der C-Flöte vor und unterhält sich mit ihr über den Archäopteryx. An Jonas denkt er immer seltener. Ben hat mit dem Leben zu tun, er muss für das Fußballtor wachsen, sein bester Freund erklärt ihm die Eierstöcke, und sein erster Kuss schmeckt nach Regenwurm. Mit seiner neuen Armbanduhr berechnet er die Zeit. Voller Empathie und mit anrührender Komik erzählt Stephan Lohse in seinem Debütroman vom Aufwachsen Anfang der Siebzigerjahre, von Teenagernöten und dem Trost der Freundschaft. Vor allem aber erzählt er vom Mut und dem Einfallsreichtum eines Kindes, das seine Mutter das Trauern lehrt und ihr zeigt, dass das Glück, am Leben zu sein, auch noch dem größten Schmerz standhält.
