        The Middle

        by Richa Jha and Eva Sanchez Gomez

        The Middle is a story of a journey within a journey. A voracious reader, Azma, whose mind is full of questions as she reads, finds that the more books she consumes, the more the whys and hows in them consume her. One night, a torn scrap of paper floats into her room, carrying an incomplete line within its crinkles. She desperately searches for any missing words to complete the lonely phrase but failing at each attempt, she finally turns to writing her own beginning and end.  The pages of The Middle are filled with surreal creatures - formidable, terrifying, looming – and these represent the fears and doubts of a mind struggling to make sense of the worlds captured within those books that only partially satisfy her as a reader. Azma embarks on an incomplete journey, ready to create its origin and end, finally realising the answers to all her impossible questions can only come to her when she writes her own version of the story. It is only then that the haunting creatures begin to soften and harmlessly melt away into themselves. Richa Jha’s lyrical prose and Eva Sanchez Gomez’s breathtaking visual poetry come together to narrate a tale that is both stunning and thought-provoking. For all the restless creative souls out there, The Middle presents an all-familiar trajectory of creating something new.

        Gaudï in Manhattan

        Eine phantastische Erzählung

        by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

        »Jahre später, als ich zuschaute, wie sich das Trauergefolge meines Meisters durch den Paseo de Gracia bewegte, erinnerte ich mich an den Tag, an dem ich Gaudí kennengelernt hatte und sich mein Schicksal für immer änderte.« Ein junger Architekturstudent begleitet den berühmten Architekten nach Amerika, wo Antonio Gaudí den Auftrag, einen Wolkenkratzer zu bauen, erhalten soll. Doch als sie in Manhattan ankommen, nehmen die Dinge einen ganz anderen Verlauf. Das Phantastische ist, wie Carlos Ruiz Zafón, der Autor des Welterfolgs Der Schatten des Windes, sagt, »der Grund- und Schlußstein im großen Palast der Literatur«. Das bestätigt auch diese kleine phantastische Erzählung, die Karl-Georg Hirsch mit unheimlichen Zeichnungen illustriert hat.

        The Legacy of John Polidori

        The Romantic Vampire and its Progeny

        by Sam George, Bill Hughes

        John Polidori's novella The Vampyre (1819) is perhaps 'the most influential horror story of all time' (Frayling). Polidori's story transformed the shambling, mindless monster of folklore into a sophisticated, seductive aristocrat that stalked London society rather than being confined to the hinterlands of Eastern Europe. Polidori's Lord Ruthven was thus the ancestor of the vampire as we know it. This collection explores the genesis of Polidori's vampire. It then tracks his bloodsucking progeny across the centuries and maps his disquieting legacy. Texts discussed range from the Romantic period, including the fascinating and little-known The Black Vampyre (1819), through the melodramatic vampire theatricals in the 1820s, to contemporary vampire film, paranormal romance, and science fiction. They emphasise the background of colonial revolution and racial oppression in the early nineteenth century and the cultural shifts of postmodernity.

        Traumzeit

        Über die Grenze zwischen Wildnis und Zivilisation

        by Hans Peter Duerr

        Ein mittlerweile berühmt gewordenes Kultbuch. (Weltwoche) Hans Peter Duerr hat mit diesem Buch Maßstäbe gesetzt für ein Denken, das sich in Gegensatz zur abendländischen Tradition stellt. (Aurel Schmidt, Basler Magazin) Ein Buch, das westdeutsche Wissenschaftsgeschichte machte. (Die Presse) Duerrs Irrationalismus führt uns allerdings auch nur in die Sackgasse. (Rüdiger Schott in Grundfragen der Ethnologie) Könnte man von Duerr nicht lernen, eine Diskussion witzig, gebildet und menschenfreundlich, das heißt: wie unter Erwachsenen zu führen? (Hans Platschek, Die Zeit) Der Leser, der ein Sensorium für die augenzwinkernde Schalkhaftigkeit der Selbstironie besitzt, wird sich immer wieder erheitert finden. (Urs Bitterli) Duerr ist unpathetisch, geisterweit entfernt von aller Sektiererei, gar nicht rechthaberisch und will niemanden erlösen. (Stern) Ein Buch, das sehr kokett, manchmal eitel, zweifellos arrogant und daher sehr unterhaltsam ist. (Eckhard Nordhofen, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) Ein in gutem Deutsch spannend geschriebener Essay, nicht ohne Witz und allerlei Hinter sinn. (Adolf Holl, Profil) Provokante Frechheit. (Rhein- Neckar-Zeitung) Ein unordentliches, unorganisiertes, schludrig geschriebenes, mit brillanten Aphorismen gespicktes und oft sehr lustig in schnoddriger Subkultursprache verfaßtes, enorm eitles und doch wieder dank seiner Offenheit sehr versöhnliches Buch. (Ernest Borneman) Akademisch sattelfest, aphoristisch, bibliophil,zauntranszendent, jenseits vom Jargon. (Gerhard Marcel Martin)
