        Barbara Comyns

        A savage innocence

        by Avril Horner

        The extraordinary twentieth-century writer Barbara Comyns led a life as captivating as the narratives she spun. This pioneering biography reveals the journey of a woman who experienced hardship and single-motherhood before the age of thirty but went on to publish a sequence of novels that are unique in the English language. Comyns turned her hand to many jobs in order to survive, from artist's model to restoring pianos. Hundreds of unpublished letters reveal an occasionally desperate but resourceful and witty woman whose complicated life ranged from enduring poverty when young to mixing with spivs, spies and high society. While working as a housekeeper in her mid-thirties, Comyns began transforming the bleak episodes of her life into compelling fictions streaked with surrealism and deadpan humour. The Vet's Daughter (1959), championed by Graham Greene, brought her fame, although her use of the gothic and macabre divided readers and reviewers. This biography not only excavates Comyns's life but also reclaims her fiction, providing a timely reassessment of her literary contribution. It sheds new light on a remarkable author who deftly captured the complexities of human life.

        Medication Management in the Hospital

        A workbook for ward pharmacists

        by Dr. Insa Gross, MSc Andreas Fischer and Dr. Holger Knoth

        The ward pharmacist in the hospital is like the airbag in a car. As part of a fail-safe system, they monitor and optimise the patient’s drug therapy. Ward pharmacists work hand in hand with medical and nursing staff. That situation is also reflected in this workbook. All the cases presented were patients who had been cared for, evaluated and documented by a physician-pharmacist duo or similar team with combined medical and pharmaceutical expertise. The editorial team considered it important to illustrate all critical indications typically encountered in a hospital. In assessing and selecting the examples, they were able to draw upon the many years’ experience of their pioneering work as hospital and ward pharmacists. Practical tips, checklists, comments and advice for working in the ward environment round off the individual chapters. By learning from actual cases, this book offers the unique chance to develop an instinct for the pitfalls of drug safety. That applies to those who have successfully completed further training in the field of “Medication Management in the Hospital” and for all who wish to ensure the optimum treatment for their patients through competent work in clinical pharmacy.

        Barbara und andere Novellen

        Eine Auswahl aus dem erzählerischen Werk

        by Hermann Broch, Paul Michael Lützeler, Paul Michael Lützeler, Paul Michael Lützeler

        »Aldous Huxley«: Broch … ist völlig zu Haus auf der Spiegeloberfläche und agiert manchmal dort mit unfehlbarer Virtuosität. Es liegt an der doppelten Fähigkeit dieses Autors, seinem Vermögen, gleichzeitig zwei unvereinbare Welten zu zeichnen. Dieser Band legt eine Sammlung von 13 Novellen vor, die besten aus Brochs Gesamtwerk. Die früheste »Eine methodologische Novelle«, wurde 1917 geschrieben, die späteste, »Die Erzählung der Magd Zerline«, 1949. Die Besonderheit dieser Sammlung besteht in der erstmaligen Präsentation aller vorhandenen Tierkreisnovellen in ihrer Ursprungsfassung. Bisher unveröffentlicht ist die Novelle »Esperance«. Das Nachwort ist eine Einführung in das novellistische Werk Hermann Brochs. Der Kommentar referiert die textkritische Situation sämtlicher Novellen, die an einen Philosophen erinnern, »der gleichzeitig ein Künstler von außergewöhnlicher Bildung und Reinheit ist«.

        Queen Barbara

        Roman

        by Michal Witkowski, Olaf Kühl

        Tagsüber ist Hubert Kleinganove und betreibt eine Pfandleihe im Kohlenpott Polens der achtziger Jahre. Nachts vor dem Spiegel und mit Perlen geschmückt nennt er sich Barbara Radziwill – nach der Königin von Polen und Großfürstin von Litauen. Sein Geld verdient er mit »Baguette überbacken«, dem Dönerkebab der Volksrepublik. Und mit gestohlenen Chrysanthemen vom Friedhof. Wenn es eine Schuld einzutreiben gilt, sind seine »Hofdamen« zur Stelle, Sascha und Felus. Die beiden Ukrainer wissen, wie sie ihn um den Finger wickeln können. Michal Witkowski, ein Meister der Vielstimmigkeit, verwebt den Slang der Straße mit der sarmatischen Adelsplauderei zu einer Lebensbeichte, vergleichbar einem Mix aus Dorota Maslowskas Reiherkönigin und Grimmelshausens Simplicissimus.

        Das Frühwerk

        by Paul Celan, Barbara Wiedemann, Barbara Wiedemann

        Paul Celan wurde am 23. November 1920 als Paul Antschel als einziger Sohn deutschsprachiger, jüdischer Eltern im damals rumänischen Czernowitz geboren. Nach dem Abitur 1938 begann er ein Medizinstudium in Tours/Frankreich, kehrte jedoch ein Jahr später nach Rumänien, zurück, um dort Romanistik zu studieren. 1942 wurden Celans Eltern deportiert. Im Herbst desselben Jahres starb sein Vater in einem Lager an Typhus, seine Mutter wurde erschossen. Von 1942 bis 1944 musste Celan in verschiedenen rumänischen Arbeitslagern Zwangsarbeit leisten. Von 1945 bis 1947 arbeitete er als Lektor und Übersetzer in Bukarest, erste Gedichte wurden publiziert. Im Juli 1948 zog er nach Paris, wo er bis zum seinem Tod lebte. Im selben Jahr begegnete Celan Ingeborg Bachmann. Dass Ingeborg Bachmann und Paul Celan Ende der vierziger Jahre und Anfang der fünfziger Jahre ein Liebesverhältnis verband, das im Oktober 1957 bis Mai 1958 wieder aufgenommen wurde, wird durch den posthum veröffentlichten Briefwechsel Herzzeit zwischen den beiden bestätigt. Im November 1951 lernte Celan in Paris die Künstlerin Gisèle de Lestrange kennen, die er ein Jahr später heiratete. 1955 kam ihr gemeinsamer Sohn Eric zur Welt. Im Frühjahr 1970 nahm sich Celan in der Seine das Leben.

        The silence of Barbara Synge

        by Bill McCormack

        'The silence of Barbara Synge' provides a fascinating companion volume to Bill McCormack's acclaimed 'Fool of the family' (2000), a biography of the playwright J.M. Synge (1871-1909). Taking the alledged death of Mrs John Hatch (née Synge) in 1767 as a focal point, this book explores the varied strands of the Synge family tree in eighteenth and nineteenth century Ireland. Key events in the family's history are carefully documented, including a suicide in 1769 which is echoed in an early Synge play, the effects of the famine which influenced 'The playboy of the western world' in 1907, and the behaviour of Francis Synge at the time of the union. 'The silence of Barbara Synge' is a unique work of cultural enquiry, combining archival research, literary criticism, and religious and medical history to pull the strands together and relate them to the family's literary descendent J.M. Synge. ;
