Gift of the Dark Mother Earth

by Can Xue

Gift of the Dark Mother Earth, the latest novel by Can Xue, is a profound metaphor of her hometown. It follows her usual magical style in the sense that it vividly unfolds the complex and delicate inner world of the characters. The story takes place in the remote Wuliqu School, with such distinctive characters as Teacher Meiyong, Zhang Danzhi, Yutian, Xiao Man, Uncle Yun and Sha Men presented one after another. The personality and human nature exposed through unique dialogues enable the readers to feel a return to simplicity so that they want to explore human soul and nature and start in-depth reading and thinking. The book depicts petty matters in a great age. The author’s ambition is to create a feeling for the pattern of the whole universe through the structure of an ordinary tree leaf, and to unify the arbitrarily split world through the narration of various folk sundries so that different characters can all become the center of this unity and their performance can have a universality. As the only Chinese writer who has won the Best Translated Book Award in the United States, Can Xue was nominated for the foreign novel prize of The Independent of the UK and shortlisted in the Neustadt International Prize for Literature of the US. As the Chinese woman writer, whose works have been translated and published the most abroad, Can Xue has been called the most creative Chinese writer by overseas critics.

Reise in das unbekannte Land des Vertrauens

Ein wahres Märchen über die Sehnsucht so angenommen zu werden, wie wir sind

by André Stern

Der Bestsellerautor André Stern begibt sich auf der Suche nach dem Wesen des Vertrauens durch eine Welt voller Grenzen, Trennungen und Misstrauen. Feinsinnig, philosophisch und zum Nachdenken anregend konfrontiert die Leser mit den uns selbstverständlich erscheinenden Erwartungen und Bewertungen, die das Vertrauen in uns selbst und in andere beeinflussen, schädigen oder stören können – immer verbunden mit dem tiefen inneren Wunsch jedes Menschen, so angenommen zu werden, wie wir sind. André Stern hält uns in diesem wahren Märchen in bildstarker, poetischer Sprache den Spiegel vor und er beleuchtet Seiten – Winkel, Details aber auch das große Ganze –, die wir so noch nicht gesehen haben. Dieses Buch ist ein Herzöffner.

The Metropolitan Age

The decisive force in the Anthropocene

by German Environmental Foundation (Ed.)

Three quarters of the world’s population live in cities. One in eight people lives in a metropolitan area. Megacities swallow up land, energy and resources – and at the same time are particularly hard hit by the current climate crisis that they fuel. However, in the metropolises of the overcrowded world plenty of committed people have heard the warning signals and establish networks to use the potential of cities to reorganize the participative and social-ecological activity that is urgently needed. The contributions to this Yearbook for Ecology focus on the present and future of cities from wide-ranging viewpoints and highlight perspectives for their creative transformation towards liveable sustainability.

National Farm Survey 1941-43

State Surveillance and the Countryside in England and Wales in the Second World War

by Brian Short, William Foot, Phil Kinsman. Edited by Charles Watkins.

During the Second World War, there was concern as to whether Britain, unable to import food from abroad, would be able to feed the population. Therefore, the National Farm Survey was conducted during 1941-43, and described every farm in England and Wales in great detail. Because of its sensitivity, this material only became publicly available in 1992 after a fifty-year closure period. Information on farming types, cropping and stocking, machinery, employment, farm size and structure, land ownership and farm buildings was provided for all farms which were larger than 5 acres at that time.This book gives an overview of the Survey, and provides the most complete ‘Doomsday’ of British agriculture available, including maps and illustrations of the areas surveyed at that time. It is a unique source for measuring post-war changes in agriculture, environment and society.

Collector's Edition of Can Xue's Works: Huangni Street

by Can Xue

"Huang Ni Street" is Can Xue's debut novel. The work describes people on a street and many things on Huangni Street. Huangni Street is always dirty, even the rain is gray. Can Xue made a detailed description of this street, but this description is different from the description of ordinary writers, with a big jump in thinking and no consistent storyline. There are simple characters and simple stories. Can Xue's first novel constructed Can Xue's very significant writing characteristics later, and these rich images give readers a very special reading experience. Can Xue breaks the usual thinking and framework of traditional novels, and has the typical characteristics of Can Xue from the beginning.

Pragmatik als Basis von Semantik und Syntax

by Hans Julius Schneider

Schneider geht von der Einsicht aus, daß das Sprechen und die Sprache nicht als ein bloßer Ausdruck eines losgelösten Bewußtseinsprozesses, sondern als ein Handeln verstanden werden müssen (Peirce, Mead, Wittgenstein, Searle). Seine Untersuchung will die Frage beantworten, welche Konsequenzen diese Einsicht für die gegenwärtig diskutierten linguistischen Theorien hat. Genauer: In welchem Licht erscheint, wenn man diese Einsicht ernst nimmt, das Verhältnis der Komponenten Syntax, Semantik und Pragmatik zueinander? Schneider fragt dabei von der Semantik aus. Wie kann eine linguistische Semantik aussehen und welche Rolle hat sie innerhalb der linguistischen Theorie zu spielen? Er behandelt die verschiedenen Konzeptionen der interpretativen Semantik und zeigt, wie Probleme linguistischer Theoriebildung mit sprachphilosophischen Fragen verkettet sind. Seine Hauptthesen lauten: Die semantische Komponente einer Sprachtheorie muß nicht nur die Basis für die Syntax abgeben, sondern Semantik und Syntax müssen pragmatisch begründet werden. Das auf formalistischem Weg entwickelte Maß an logischer Exaktheit darf dabei nicht ohne Not aufgegeben werden. Es geht vielmehr gerade darum, einen Zusammenhang zwischen sprachlichem Handeln (pragmatischen Funktionen) und formalen Beschreibungsmitteln (syntaktischen Funktionen) herzustellen.

There is a Land Beyond Perekop

by Anastasia Levkova

Crimea. It was here that the main character of the novel spent her childhood, youth and met first love. It was here that she realized that she is Ukrainian. Neither grandfather, lieutenant colonel of the KGB, nor Russian blood in his veins stood in the way of her self-identification. The novel intertwines Crimean Tatar culture, Ukrainian history and family skeletons in closets like an ornament. Together with the main character and her friends, Aliye who is a Crimean Tatar, and Alyona who is a Ukrainian, the reader travels a long way from their childhood to the present — the occupation of the peninsula by Russia. «There is a land beyond Perekop» is an ode to Crimea. Not to its natural beauty and uniqueness, but to people. This is an attempt to open the mainland for Crimea, and Crimea for the mainland. After all, there is land both there and there. It should be known and stitched.
