        Yalo

        Roman

        by Elias Khoury, Leila Chammaa

        So wie für Lawrence Durrell das alte Alexandria die Hauptstadt der Erinnerung war, ist für Elias Khoury das wiederaufgebaute Beirut die Hauptstadt der Amnesie. Yalo, der aus einer christlich-syrianischen Familie stammt, wächst in Beirut auf. Jung gerät er in eine der Milizen des Krieges. Nach dessen Ende wird er Wächter eines Waffenhändlers. In den Hügeln außerhalb Beiruts überfällt er nächtens Liebespaare, raubt und vergewaltigt – und verliebt sich in eines seiner Opfer, Shirin. Sie zeigt ihn an. Er wird festgenommen und gefoltert. Man zwingt ihn, sein Leben aufzuschreiben, immer neu, denn nie sind die Folterer zufrieden – selbst wenn er zugibt und ausmalt, was er gar nicht getan hat. So gerät Yalo außer sich. Im Schmerz trennt er sich von seinem Körper und erfindet sich im Geist. Mit jeder neuen Fassung verändert sich die Beschreibung, sie reichert sich an, sie franst aus, verschmutzt, färbt sich, oszilliert, sie nimmt ein Sprach- und Eigenleben an: Yalo – ein libanesisches Leben in Zeiten des Kriegs und Nachkriegs. Elias Khourys sprachmächtiger Roman erzeugt – mitreißend und erkenntnisstiftend zugleich – einen Taumel.

        Als schliefe sie

        by Elias Khoury, Leila Chammaa

        Elias Khoury ist einer der tonangebenden Schriftsteller und Intellektuellen der arabischen Welt. Welche Geschichten, fragen seine Bücher, sind ans Licht zu holen, wenn es um die Entstehung des palästinensisch-israelischen Konflikts geht? Mit welchem Gebirge aus Leid, Schmerz und Gewalt muß es eine „Friedensordnung“ für den Nahen Osten aufnehmen? Khourys neuer Roman führt zurück in die 1940er Jahre, die Zeit vor der palästinensischen Niederlage und der Gründung des Staates Israel. Er erzählt von der Liebe zwischen dem Palästinenser Mansur und der „traumbegabten“ Libanesin Milia. Nach der Heirat ziehen die beiden nach Nazareth. Als Mansurs Bruder Amin, der gegen die jüdische Einwanderung gekämpft hat, getötet wird, muß Mansur seine Rolle übernehmen. Milia hat Angst, Angst um ihn, Angst um ihr Kind. Sie ist schwanger. Bei der Geburt am 24. Dezember 1947 stirbt sie, indem sie aus ihrem letzten Traum nicht mehr erwacht – ein Traum, der sie noch sehen läßt, wie Mansur mit dem Säugling aus dem brennenden Jaffa auf ein griechisches Schiff flieht.

        Dragon fruit (pitaya) is a perennial climbing cactus, native to the tropical areas of North, Central and South America. It is suited to tropical and subtropical regions and is commercially grown in an increasing number of countries, including Israel, Australia and the USA. Dragon fruit generates considerable consumer interest because of its exotic appearance and potential health benefits. The fruit is rich in nutrients and phytochemical compounds. It can be eaten fresh or used in the preparation of juices, jellies, jams, etc. The natural bioactive compounds in pitaya have the potential to be exploited in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Increasingly cultivated worldwide, the plant is drought-resistant, easily adapts to light intensity and high temperatures, and has a tolerance to a wide range of soil salinities. With ongoing global warming, dragon fruit has great potential as a new crop for many more countries. This book is a compilation of the current state of knowledge on dragon fruit physiology, cultivation, production technology, postharvest management and processing, and is written by leading international authors.

        Escritas Diversas do Eu "Páginas comoventes, pungentes, ternas, jocosas, divertidas, alegres, sofridas, plenas dos mais variados afetos: o que se lerá nesse volume são os frutos doces ou amargos de uma experiência literária a que se dedicaram jovens entusiastas, estudantes de Letras, desejosos de se deixarem habitar pela linguagem, de se inclinarem ao acontecimento poético e, por isso mesmo, de oferecerem ao leitor - e a ele se des-cobrirem - vidas subjetivas que só têm razão de ser porque se locam em contato com o Outro. Fica, então, aqui, o convite ao encontro!" (Leila de Aguiar Costa)

        A House Full of People

        by Mariana Sández

        "Possibly one of the best fictions published in recent months. Mariana Sández's prose is a beautiful and intelligent surprise, within the framework of the new narrative produced by Argentinean authors". Hinde Pomeraniec, Infobae Before she dies, Leila, a frustrated writer and book lover, leaves her daughter her personal diaries, along with curious and detailed instructions on what to do with them. By reading them, Charo will reveal a side of her mother that she did not know, trying to understand that period when Leila seemed to be swept away by a gale, more absent and more vital than ever, that time when a series of disturbing events took place in the building where they lived, and which unleashed her mother's infinite guilt.

        A Smell of Flowers in The Night

        by Leïla Slimani

        Leïla Slimani, winner of the 2016 prix Goncourt, doesn’t like leaving home and prefers solitude to entertainment. So why agree to spend a sleepless night in the Punta della Dogona Museum in Venice? Reflecting upon the “impossibility” of a book whilst subtly digressing in the Venetian night, Leila Slimani talks about herself, about imprisonment, intimacy, identity, being caught in the middle, between East and West. A discreet, sensitive confession in which the author mentions her father who was once imprisoned. But this book – with its intensity and inner fire – is also about beauty disappearing and how urgently we must make the most of it. It is about the glory of the ephemeral. At dawn, although awake and alert, the author emerges from the building as if from a dream, and all that is left of her night is the smell of flowers.

        Leila Means Night

        by Aleksandra Lipczak

        For eight centuries, southern Spain has been home to a multicultural political entity founded by the Arabs and co-created by Muslims, Jews and Christians. Medieval Cordoba, Seville and Toledo are bustling metropolises to which merchants, scientists and artists are drawn from all over the world. Here the first tracheotomy procedure is performed and astronomy is developed, here magnificent libraries are created, Greek philosophers are translated, multilingual poetry is written, and foreign policy at the Muslim court is directed by a Jewish diplomat.In a book stretched between history and modernity and between essay and reportage, the author deconstructs popular symbols of Spain (flamenco, mosaics, palm trees), revealing their Muslim-Arab roots. She shows how Andalusia today handles its heritage. Coexistence, the meeting of the so-called West with so-called Islam, the fluidity of borders, but also fundamentalisms, expulsions, exorcising others.... Al-Andalus is a palimpsest that is useful in thinking about the world today. Prizes: Nike Literary Prize 2021 - shortlist Witold Gombrowicz Prize 2021 - winner
