September 2014Auswilderung
Roman
by Bettina Suleiman
Freizeit? Schlaf? Kein Kommentar. Dafür lebt Marina mit Anfang Dreißig den Traum einer ganzen Forschergeneration. Für ein Millionenprojekt der UN experimentieren sie und ihr Mentor Griffin mit Gorillas, die zwar wie Menschen aufwachsen. Aber sollten Gorillas auch Rechte haben? Was wären die Konsequenzen? Marina driftet immer tiefer ab in die Welt ihres Mentors, die von Fördergeldern bewegt wird. Im letzten Moment beschließt sie zu handeln – und manipuliert die Forschungsergebnisse. Auf einer Insel im Roten Meer läuft die Auswilderung der Tiere an. Das Problem: Die Gorillas wollen ihre Freiheit nicht mehr; einige werden depressiv; bald schon der erste Todesfall. Die UN macht Druck. Ihre Karriere, Griffin, alles steht vor dem Aus. Und Marina erkennt, dass sie viel weniger für die Freiheit der Gorillas kämpft als für ihre eigene. »Auswilderung« ist ein kühnes literarisches Debüt, wie es lange keines gab: Coming of Age in Zeiten des konditionierten Egoismus. Ein spannendes Porträt unserer Gegenwart, abgründig, unterhaltsam, bewusstseinserweiternd.

The Motherland Saga Volume III
VOLUME THREE, COMING OF AGE: 1939 – 1983
by Hugo N. Gerstl
Nowhere in modern literature has any story exceeded COMING OF AGE in the drama that symbolizes, no matter how large or small a role one plays, how important each human being is in the web of history. The never-ending fight to bring freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and freedom to simply live a life where one can attain peace, without fear of tomorrow, lies at the very core of this monumental tour de force, a gargantuan buffet for those who gorge on historical fiction. Here, the reader endures the agony of shattering defeats, the depths of tragically lost love, and the lowest level to which human depravity can descend, yet ultimately celebrates the triumph of the human spirit as the three protagonists of this epic fight to bring about tikkun olam, the repair of a world in chaos. Above all, this is a COMING OF AGE story: the coming of age of Modern Turkey. If humankind does not learn from the lessons of the past, we are doomed to repeat them over and over, into eternity. This tale is as ancient as our history, yet as immediate as tomorrow. Like Fiddler on the Roof, its universality crosses every border and is common to every culture. And as you come to the end of this mammoth tale, you find yourself reading slower and slower, hoping it does not come to an end, hoping there will be more to this story. Published By Pangæa Publishing Group,2019. Volume Three - 284 pages – 23 cm x 15 cm

Seit ihrer Geburt lebt Pearl im Auto, sie vorne, ihre Ausreißer-Mutter auf der Rückbank. Vierzehn Jahre stehen die beiden jetzt schon am Rande eines Trailerparks irgendwo in Florida.

Bis ein schöner Mann und seine Pistolen alles verändern … Gun Love handelt vom Zauber zwischen Mutter und Tochter inmitten des Irrsinns. In strahlenden Bildern erzählt Jennifer Clement eine Geschichte, in der Liebe und Hass, Fantasie und Wirklichkeit haltlos ineinanderfallen. Das literarische Stimmungsbild einer ganzen Nation.

Ein Mädcheninternat im Appenzell der sechziger Jahre. Gehorsam und Disziplin prägen die Ordnung des Hauses.

Empfänglich für den morbiden Reiz der Disziplin verfällt sie Frédérique mehr und mehr. Und erst ein ganzes Leben später kann die Erzählerin ihre abgründige Liebe in Worte fassen.

Orphaned by a terrible accident, he dreams of leaving his uneventful life with his grandparents on the family’s griffin farm. However, when a catastrophic attack wipes out every homestead in The Zoological Zone, his world is turned upside down. He finds himself thrust into a story larger than he ever dreamed, embarking on a rough journey with a mysteriously appearing warrior to the fabled ‘Temple of Elohim’. Accompanied by his best friend, the griffin Gozell, Jothan sets off across a land ravaged by poverty and wild creatures. Battling his way across the dangerous landscape, his eyes are opened to an empire in the grip of war and unrest... with the ever increasing weight of his role in events to come. Will they make it to the Temple? Will they be welcomed when they arrive? Can Jothan unravel the secrets that seem to control the lives of everyone he meets, including his mysterious saviour?

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2024Ideas of poverty in the Age of Enlightenment
by Niall O’Flaherty, Robin Mills
This collection of essays examines the ways in which poverty was conceptualised in the social, political, and religious discourses of eighteenth-century Europe. It brings together experts with a wide range of expertise to offer pathbreaking discussions of how eighteenth-century thinkers thought about the poor. Because the theme of poverty played important roles in many critical issues in European history, it was central to some of the key debates in Enlightenment political thought throughout the period, including the controversies about sovereignty and representation, public and private charity, as well as questions relating to crime and punishment. The book examines some of the most important contributions to these debates, while also ranging beyond the canonical Enlightenment thinkers, to investigate how poverty was conceptualised in the wider intellectual culture, as politicians, administrators and pamphlet writers grappled with the issue.

May 2023Divisible by Itself and One / Teilbar durch sich selbst und eins
by Kae Tempest, Rike Scheffler
Der neue Gedichtband von Kae Tempest ist eine Öffnung: Nach der Einsamkeit und dem Stillstand der Corona-Jahre, nach dem Coming-out als nicht-binär/trans erzählt Tempest ehrlich und präzise von Verletzlichkeit und Selbstentblößung, von Zweifel und Hoffnung. Von unerfüllbaren Rollenerwartungen und der Ablehnung des eigenen Körpers, von der Flucht in den Rausch und dem Glück, wenn sich zwei Hände am Rand einer Bühne überraschend begegnen. Vom seltsamen Anblick der*des kranken Geliebten, nackt über eine Schüssel gebeugt, kurz vor der Trennung. Von der Kraft der Veränderung und dem lange entbehrten Gefühl von Zugehörigkeit und Gemeinschaft. Denn wo, wenn nicht dort, wäre Halt zu finden. Schon durch das Wissen: Man ist nicht allein. – »I’m right beside you.«
