        Mit Fotografien von Roger Melis

        by Peter Huchel, Lutz Seiler, Roger Melis

        Peter Huchel hat die Naturlandschaft Brandenburgs wie nur wenige andere zu einem Ort der Weltliteratur gemacht. Seine Gedichte verarbeiten sowohl konkrete historische als auch ganz existentielle Erfahrungen und weiten sie zu Fragestellungen von universeller Gültigkeit. Ihre Sprache ist jedoch alles andere als abstrakt. Huchels Bildwelt verdankt sich vielmehr der minutiösen Beobachtung von Natur und Mensch in seiner brandenburgischen Heimat, der er auch nach seiner Exilierung ein Leben lang verbunden blieb. Die markanten Schwarz-weiß-Aufnahmen von Roger Melis zeigen wichtige Facetten dieser Landschaft, in der auch der Fotograf seit seiner Kindheit zu Hause war. Als Dokumente lassen sie erahnen, aus welcher Naturerfahrung heraus Huchel seine weiträumigen Metaphern entwickelte. Zugleich bezeugen sie ein eigenes bildnerisches Erleben, das durch das Temperament und die Weltsicht des Bildkünstlers geprägt wurde. 50 Gedichte und 22 Fotografien vereinen sich zu einem Pas de deux zweier Temperamente und Kunstformen.

        Banged-Up Heart

        by Shirley Melis

        Banged-Up Heart by Shirley Melis is an intimate and clear-eyed account of finding love late and losing it early–and of the strength it takes to fall madly in love a second time, be forced to relinquish that love too soon, and yet choose to love again. When her husband of thirty years dies suddenly, Shirley Melis is convinced she will never find another man like Joe. Then she meets John, a younger man who tells her during their first conversation that he has lived for many years with a rare but manageable cancer. She is swept off her feet in a whirlwind courtship, and within months, made brave by the early death of a friend's husband, she asks him to marry her! What follows is a year-long odyssey of travel and a growing erotic and creative partnership–until a mysterious bump on John's forehead proves to be one of several tumors in his brain and spine. The nine months that follow are filled with a life-threatening infection, three brain surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy. Two years and one week after their wedding, John dies at the age of fifty-nine. More than just a love story or a memoir of mourning, Banged-Up Heart comes down solidly on the side of life. It takes you deep inside an ordinary woman, her deeply felt grief butting up against her desire for more than companionship: passion, sexual fulfillment, and self-realization. It bears eloquent witness to the wild trust it takes to fall madly in love and risk profound loss–a second time. Ultimately, it shows that it is possible to dance with a banged-up heart.

      • THE MEMORY I DIDN'T HAVE

        by Test by Alberto Melis

        «... what was grandpa Gabriel doing there? In a Roma camp? “ «... Porrajmos? ... what does it mean? What’s this?» Alberto Melis returns with a novel of strong civil commitment to talk about racism, intolerance, prejudice, and what he has to tell us and teach us about the past. The protagonists are two twelve-year-old boys, Mattia and Angela, who live in Rome and who face a mystery that has its roots in the distant past, at the time of the Second World War and of the tragic mass exterminations by the Nazi regime. Mattia’s grandfather, Gabriel, an elderly gentleman of Polish origin who has lived in Italy for over sixty years, is seriously injured during the assault by a group of racists against a Roma camp. But what was Grandpa Gabriel doing in a Roma camp? Mattia tries to find out who that taciturn grandfather is, which is the missing page of his past. He will learn of a tragedy that rarely appears in the history books: the Porrajmos, the extermination by the Nazi hand of over half a million European Romani. This story, forgotten by history, deserves the justice of a memory.

        Cuentos Bi

        by María de Alva, Raúl Ortega Alfonso, Silvia Goldman, Beatriz Berrocal, Jorge León Gustà, Meli Navas

        Bi? Bi what? BI Stories groups six stories that explore the idea of ​​duplicity and repetition from different perspectives, expanding the "bi" beyond two so as not to have figures and to become innumerable. Some of the inhabitants of this more than binary universe are: a young woman with feline features who unfolds in her uniqueness; a bilingual publicist trained to teach a new language; a mother between two lands who is lost and finds herself in his fantasies; a reader who reads and is read at the same time; a commercial for an insurance company very sure of himself; and a lady who does not listen, and a music-loving tree as a tandem protagonist of the same story. The characters and voices in these stories delve into the unraveling of the being and the human, to reiterate that everything dual can be multiplied in a process of (dis)assimilation.

        by SLAVKO PREGL AND LEON POGELŠEK

        THE SECRET IS CALLED ERICH ŠLOMOVIČ (Skrivnost se imenuje Erich Šlomovič) Bata, a Belgrade antique dealer who does not speak any foreign languages, chooses young Leon from Ljubljana as his assistant for deals around Europe. Bata seems to be someone who will introduce the ambitious art student into the society of elite gallerists and high earnings. This promise becomes even more tangible when in an old villa in Zagreb, whilst buying a magnificent Vienna book case, they come across a dusty catalogue of Šlomovič’s exhibition, in which there is a list of French Impressionist paintings, and others from Modigliani to Renoir, from Kandinsky to Picasso, etc. The paintings disappeared one night in 1939 when two trains collided on their way to an exhibition in Belgrade and since then their fate has been shrouded in mystery. Occasionally they appear on the art market or in articles at home and abroad, even a film has been made about them … In Pregl’s novel, however, the story about the “secret of the Šlomovič” collection, full of lies, twists, deceptions, humour, hedonism and eroticism, is for the first time told by a player who created it from within.
