Polen denkt Europa
Politische Texte aus zwei Jahrhunderten
by Anne Altmayer, Jan Conrad, Jutta Conrad, Friedrich Griese, Ewa Heyde, Peter Oliver Loew, Peter Oliver Loew
Polens Traum: Europa. Polens Zweifel: Europa. Polens Realität: Europa. über die Jahrhunderte hinweg bewegte Europa die Polen, bewegte Polen Europa. Diskussionen entbrannten, Heere marschierten, Bücher erschienen, Grenzen verschwanden und entstanden, immer wieder: die Suche nach Heimat, Vaterland, Europa. Jahrhundertelang stellten sich die Menschen zwischen Warthe, Weichsel, Bug und Dniepr die Frage nach dem Kontext der Nation: War es Europa, sein Westen, sein Osten, der Orient? Oder lag Polen im Mittelpunkt einer echt ostmitteleuropäischen Tradition – als Kernland der Sarmaten, der ewig Leidenden, als 'Zwischeneuropa' irgendwo zwischen Rom, Moskau und Byzanz? Beendet die Aufnahme Polens in die Europäische Union im Mai 2004 die Suche Polens nach dem Ort der Nation in Europa? Peter Oliver Loew zeichnet in einer Auswahl von Berichten, Essays und Gedichten aus zwei Jahrhunderten die Entwicklung des polnischen Europadenkens nach. Der Band enthält Texte von Stanislaw Leopold Brzozowski, Jan Parandowski, Józef ChalasiDski, Pawel Hertz, Jaroslaw Marek Rymkiewicz, Marcin Król, Johannes Paul II., Tadeusz Mazowiecki, Czeslaw Milosz und vielen anderen.

The Morbids
by Ewa Ramsey
Heart-wrenching, heartwarming and ultimately uplifting – a story about the power of a little kindness A story of friendship, love and what it means to truly live when, sometimes, it may seem easier not to. Caitlin is convinced she's going to die. Two years ago she was a normal twenty-something with a blossoming career and a plan to go travelling with her best friend, until a car accident left her with a deep, unshakable understanding that she's only alive by mistake. Caitlin deals with these thoughts by throwing herself into work, self-medicating with alcohol, and attending a support group for people with death-related anxiety, informally known as the Morbids. But when her best friend announces she's getting married in Bali, and she meets a handsome doctor named Tom, Caitlin must overcome her fear of death and learn to start living again. Beautiful, funny, and universally relatable this story of hidden loneliness and the power of compassion and companionship reminds us that life is an adventure truly worth living.

Comics of the New Europe
Reflections and Intersections
by Martha Kuhlman, José Alaniz (eds)
A new generation of European cartoonists Bringing together the work of an array of North American and European scholars, this collection highlights a previously unexamined area within global comics studies. It analyses comics from countries formerly behind the Iron Curtain like East Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, and Ukraine, given their shared history of WWII and communism. In addition to situating these graphic narratives in their national and subnational contexts, Comics of the New Europe pays particular attention to transnational connections along the common themes of nostalgia, memoir, and life under communism. The essays offer insights into a new generation of European cartoonists that looks forward, inspired and informed by traditions from Franco-Belgian and American comics, and back, as they use the medium of comics to reexamine and reevaluate not only their national pasts and respective comics traditions but also their own post-1989 identities and experiences. Contributors: Max Bledstein (University of Winnipeg), Dragana Obradović (University of Toronto), Aleksandra Sekulić (University of Arts in Belgrade), Pavel Kořínek (Institute of Czech Literature, Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague), Martin Foret (Palacký University), Michael Scholz (Uppsala University), Sean Eedy (Carleton University), Elizabeth Nijdam (University of British Columbia), Ewa Stańczyk (University of Amsterdam), Eszter Szép (Eötvös Loránd University) This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).

The focus of the project is the work of artists and people involved in the art industry of Ukraine and Poland and the ambiguous relationship of the artist and the art market. The second important emphasis is a change in the traditional notion of work in society, the main challenge for which is the rapid reduction of jobs due to the comprehensive automation and development of artificial intelligence.

Spark of Light
Short Stories by Women Writers of Odisha
by Edited by Valerie Henitiuk and Supriya Kar
Spark of Light is a diverse collection of short stories by women writers from the Indian province of Odisha. Originally written in Odia and dating from the late nineteenth century to the present, these stories offer a multiplicity of voices—some sentimental and melodramatic, others rebellious and bold—and capture the predicament of characters who often live on the margins of society. From a spectrum of viewpoints, writing styles, and motifs, the stories included here provide examples of the great richness of Odishan literary culture. In the often shadowy and grim world depicted in this collection, themes of class, poverty, violence, and family are developed. Together they form a critique of social mores and illuminate the difficult lives of the subaltern in Odisha society. The work of these authors contributes to an ongoing dialogue concerning the challenges, hardships, joys, and successes experienced by women around the world. In these provocative explorations of the short-story form, we discover the voices of these rarely heard women. To learn more about this publisher, click here: http://bit.ly/1ZT7e56
