        Melinda und Dragoman

        Roman

        by György Konrád, Hans-Henning Paetzke

        "Melinda und Dragoman erzählen abwechselnd von sich, der Familie, den Freunden; wobei zu bedenken ist, daß Melinda zwar verheiratet ist, Dragoman aber zum Liebhaber hat. Dragoman, übrigens, war mit Laura verheiratet. Sie war auf den Rollstuhl angewiesen, sie beging Selbstmord. Dragoman nahm Lauras Asche auf seinen Reisen mit. Später kehrte er heim. Ja, eine Art Heimkehr, die für alle gilt - nicht nur für Dragoman, für Melinda, Jeremias Kadrons einzige Tochter, auch für Kobra und Regina, für Magda, die aus lauter Feingefühl starb; für Sarah und Franziska, selbst für die Kleinsten, für István und Döme; für Antal, János und David, den Mann, den Geliebten, den Freund. Parallele Lebensläufe, mit Budapest verwoben. Gegenseitig beleben sie einander. Eine Art wunderbare Rückkehr geschieht, eine Art Befreiung aus dem Gelaß oder aus dem Garten oder aus dem Haus der Erinnerungen; eine Befreiung aus dem »heillosen Durcheinander« eines Gedächtnisses hinein in die beschwichtigende Ordnung eines vital bevölkerten Romanes, wo Leben und Lieben samt den gegensätzlichen Lebensprinzipien ausgetragen werden."

        Over the Hill Together

        by Da Chuzhe

        From the fifth year of their marriage, Sumiko had to receive treatment in hospital for the acute pain caused by multiple rheumatoid arthritis. From that time on the disease had seized her. From 1982, Sumiko had to lie in the bed or rely on a wheelchair for the significant dysfunction of the upper limbs and the paralysis of the lower limbs, so she had to let her husband see to her daily life. And Oochuje took care of her basically all by himself unless he had a business trip and he would hire a care worker. This illustrated book elaborately depicts the story between them, including how they met and fell in love with each other during childhood, their daily conversations, their poems as well as their relentless fighting against disease. At the final part of the book, it mainly records the last thirty-three days from December 1997 to January 1998 during which the couple spent together until Sumiko had passed away. The words of the book is selected and the drawings simple yet profound through which one will be deeply touched for the deep and unchangeable love. “Over the hill” in common sense is an expression for death, but it means a whole new world for Oochuje and Sumiko where they would also walk side by side. Their love and cherish for each other was well beyond life and death for they never ceased to bring happiness for each other. And their love story has also enriched the world with pure beauty and wonder of love.

        Welsh missionaries and British imperialism

        The Empire of Clouds in north-east India

        by Andrew May

        In 1841, the Welsh sent their first missionary, Thomas Jones, to evangelise the tribal peoples of the Khasi Hills of north-east India. This book follows Jones from rural Wales to Cherrapunji, the wettest place on earth and now one of the most Christianised parts of India. As colonised colonisers, the Welsh were to have a profound impact on the culture and beliefs of the Khasis. The book also foregrounds broader political, scientific, racial and military ideologies that mobilised the Khasi Hills into an interconnected network of imperial control. Its themes are universal: crises of authority, the loneliness of geographical isolation, sexual scandal, greed and exploitation, personal and institutional dogma, individual and group morality. Written by a direct descendant of Thomas Jones, it makes a significant contribution in orienting the scholarship of imperialism to a much-neglected corner of India, and will appeal to students of the British imperial experience more broadly.
