        Lazarus

        by Svitlana Taratorina

        The events of this novel take place in 913 in Kyiv. Humans and evil spirits coexist together - ghouls, devils, werewolves, spirits of the forest, spirit of the fields, and spirits of the water. Relative peace between them has been maintained for centuries. Humans rule the Global Empire, while the evil spirits are waiting for the return of their legendary king - the Serpent. And suddenly everything changes. In the reeds near Trukhaniv Island the body of the human has been found with the signs of violence afflicted by the beast. No one knows who committed the terrible crime. In order to find the culprit and prevent a new war between humans and evil spirits, an experienced investigator Oleksandr Petrovych Tyurin is brought in. But will he be able to overcome his own demons and see what he refused to believe for many years? The novel "Lazarus" is a winner in the nomination "Fiction for adults" in the literary competition organised by the Ukrainian publishing house "KM-Books".

        Die Apokryphen des Lazarus

        Zwölf Feuilletons

        by Attila Bartis, Laszlo Kornitzer

        In seinem neuen Buch erfindet sich Attila Bartis ein Alter ego, einen auferstandenen Lazarus, der ein Jahr lang monatlich einen Zeitungsartikel abliefern muß – »zwölf wahre Geschichen von Gott«. Unverhohlen autobiographisch, spielen einige im Rumänien der Ceau?escu-Diktatur, andere handeln von einer Reise in den Nahen Osten, an den »tiefsten Punkt der Welt«, wo ihn die Frage nach dem Ort Gottes umtreibt – ob seine Stelle am Ende leer sei. »Vielleicht war sie auch nicht leer, nur ließ er sich nicht richtig blicken. Oder er ließ sich blicken, doch der Mensch hatte sich ihn ganz anders vorgestellt.«

        The Lazarus Shares

        A Wertheim's Return To Berlin

        by T.M. Löwenthal

        With the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Germans offer to return unclaimed properties to the survivors and heirs able to provide proof of original ownership. This is the story of those who inherited the challenge of such an offer, those who would build a case to reclaim the assets and risk revisiting the past. Part exposé and part family saga, The Lazarus Shares is a tale within a tale, the story of emigrant wealthy Wertheims, Jewish Berliners whose present-day heirs face the ironic task of amassing proof of their family’s Berlin credentials. But it is in-between these timelines that the real story is revealed, a brother and sister trying to keep up with their mother, the wild Lili whose mastery of assimilation is exceeded only by her mastery of a vagabond life. Stretching from Kassel to Jerusalem, Budapest to London, Hollywood to Bogota, the story unravels one man’s stand against the past, Gus Maparae’s legacy to his daughter, Emma, the last of the Wertheims, the last pawn left standing. The author lives with her family in a small house on the Southern Carmel Mountains in Israel enjoying a view to Phoenician ruins, a magical milieu to her other pursuits as a teacher of Philosophy (Ethics) and local tour guide. An English-language eBook edition has been scheduled for publication in fall 2017 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA. 360 pages 15 x 22.5 cm.

        Colonial discourse / postcolonial theory

        by Francis Barker, Peter Hulme, Margaret Iverson

        The issues of colonialism and imperialism have recently come to the forefront of thinking in the humanities. Disciplines such as history, literature and anthropology are taking stock of their extensive and usually unacknowledged legacy of Empire. At the same time, contemporary cultural theory has had to respond to post-colonial pressure, with its different registers and agendas. This volume ranges, geographically, from Brazil to India and South Africa, from the Andes to the Caribbean and the USA. This range is matched by a breadth of historical perspectives. Central to the whole volume is a critique of the very idea of the "postcolonial" itself. Contributors include Annie Coombes, Simon During, Peter Hulme, Neil Lazarus, David Lloyd, Anne McClintock, Zita Nunes, Benita Parry, Graham Pechey, Mary Louise Pratt, Renato Rosaldo and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. ;

        Monsieur Teste

        by Paul Valéry, Bernd Schwibs, Max Rychner, Achim Russer, Bernhard Böschenstein

        Monsieur Teste, das ist die berühmteste Figur, die Paul Valéry erfunden hat, eine der wenigen Schlüsselfiguren der Moderne überhaupt. Rilke sah in dem schmalen Büchlein die »stärkste Romanessenz, die je destilliert worden ist«. Durch Jahrzehnte hat sich Valéry nicht von seiner Erfindung trennen können und die ersten Seiten (aus dem Jahre 1896) durch stets neue Einfälle ergänzt und abgerundet. Monsieur Teste – das ist Paul Valéry (1871–1945) selbst mit seinem Drang nach Klarheit und Unabhängigkeit des Denkens. »Der fremde Blick auf die Dinge, der Blick eines Menschen, der nicht versteht, der außerhalb dieser Welt steht, Auge an der Grenze zwischen Sein und Nichtsein – ist der des Denkers. Und auch der des Sterbenden, des Menschen, der den Verstand verliert. Worin der Denker ein Sterbender ist, oder ein Lazarus, beliebig. Nicht ganz beliebig.«
