April 1989Im Schatten des Siegers: Japan
by Ulrich Menzel
Im August 1945 lag das japanische Kaiserreich am Boden zerstört und hatte keine andere Wahl, als sich in die (fast) bedingungslose Kapitulation zu fügen. 50 Jahre später, am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts, stand Japan im Zenit seines wirtschaftlichen Erfolges, und die USA, ebenso wie Europa, sah sich erneut der »japanischen Herausforderung« ausgesetzt. Wie war dieser welthistorisch so bemerkenswerte Aufstieg im Schatten des Siegers möglich? Was sind seine kulturellen, politischen und sozialen Grundlagen?

BANGSA MELAYU (Satu Kajian Ilmiah Lengkap Mengenai Umat Islam Sebelah Timur) Mengandungi Peta dan Gambar Rajah Karya Salih Jawdat
by Translators: Haji Mohammad Seman Siti Sara Haji Ahmad
Buku ‘Ummat al-Malayu ini adalah hasil karya Salih Jawdat, iaitu seorang pegawai kanan di Jabatan Pendidikan Mesir ketika itu. Menurut penulis, maklumat dan data tentang bangsa Melayu beliau perolehi secara langsung hasil perbualan lisan dengan Y.A.M Tunku Mansor Ibni Abdul Hamid, iaitu putera kepada baginda Al-Sultan negeri Kedah semasa baginda sedang melanjutkan pelajaran di negara tersebut. Karya ini juga adalah buah tangan yang dihasilkan atas rasa kasih kepada putera raja itu dan juga bangsa Melayu yang juga merupakan saudara seagama dengan penulis. Buku ini secara umumnya memuatkan tentang perihal sejarah, sosial dan geografi serta hasil mahsul dan kekayaan bumi alam Melayu seluruh nusantara termasuk kepulauan Borneo dan Filipina. Beliau banyak menyentuh tentang adat resam orang Melayu termasuk suku-suku yang berada di daerah pendalaman kepulauan nusantara. Pemerian tentang nama tempat, suku, negeri dan pergunungan yang dinyatakan adalah agak purba yang mungkin sudah banyak berubah. Semoga buku dan terjemahan ini dapat menjadi salah satu sumber yang berguna untuk rujukan tentang sejarah kedudukan dan kepentingan bangsa Melayu sebagai suatu keluarga besar di alam nusantara.

August 2020My Errors, Confusions
by Gisela Heller
The journalist, writer and fontane expert Gisela Heller invites readers with her memories on a journey through her long and eventful life. The author describes her not always easy path from her escape from her Silesian homeland and her professional beginnings in the early GDR, through her journalistic work for radio and television, to her closer involvement with a famous colleague who was to become her main work content and pillar of her life, Theodor Fontane. No writer is as close to me as Theodor Fontane, confesses the author and discovers, the more and the more intensively she deals with him, many parallels in her two life arcs. I did not choose him; he has grown into me over time.The book also offers exciting insights from the world of media and culture in the GDR, from the time of the reunification and the post-reunification period to the present, and presents a series of portraits of politicians, journalists and artist colleagues. At the same time, the extensive text does not omit family joys and difficulties and shows how the author repeatedly succeeded and continues to succeed in overcoming sometimes serious illnesses, crises and conflicts and in regaining a positive attitude to life.The touching autobiography concludes with the words: "The time of great, unfulfillable wishes is over; only one remained: May a pensive smile transfigure the face of those who think of me Cest çaThe almost 700-page memoirs of journalist, writer and font expert Gisela Heller were published to mark the 91st birthday of the author

Food & DrinkOctober 2022The Heart of Cocoa
500 Years of Chocolate History
by Napoleone Neri
The temptation par excellence, that craving that suddenly arises and we cannot fight it unless we satisfy it: the desire for chocolate. Perhaps it is because of this power that it is called the most loved food on the planet. Or perhaps it is because its cultivation, production and consumption - which has been growing strongly in the last 10 years - are spread across all continents. Napoleon Neri tells its story, starting with the plant and its fruit, from the pioneers of chocolate, to the birth of confectionery factories in the 19th century and then the great modern industries. He describes in detail the processing and transformation of cocoa beans, their beneficial properties, the sensory characteristics of the finished product, and spices everything up with a thousand anecdotes and curiosities that only those who have lived and worked in this world for so long can know.
