        Die schönsten Sagen der Antike

        by Burkhard Neie, Matthias Reiner

        Wer hat nicht von ihnen gehört? Von Ikarus, der bei seinem Vogelflug der Sonne zu nah kam, von Arachne, die besser weben konnte als die Göttin Pallas Athene? Vom überheblichen Sisyphos, von Oidipus und der Sphinx, der geraubten Europa, den Argonauten auf der Suche nach dem Goldenen Vlies? Von Prometheus‘ Qualen und der Büchse der Pandora, von Herakles, Perseus und Eurydike? Hier sind sie versammelt, die schönsten Mythen und Sagen der griechischen Welt, erzählt nach den antiken Quellen. Und Burkhard Neie hat mit seiner singulären Buchgestaltung und seinen Illustrationen daraus einen opulenten Geschenkband gemacht. Ein buchkünstlerisches Ereignis! »Am Anfang war das Nichts. Nur endlose Ödnis, der Weltenraum leer, ohne Ordnung oder Ziel. Dann erschien Gaia, die Göttin der Erde und Mutter allen nachfolgenden Lebens. Und mit ihr das Liebesbegehren, die mächtigste der archaischen Kräfte: Eros.«

        The Actual

        by Inua Ellams

        The Actual is a symphony of personal and political fury—sometimes probing delicately, sometimes burning with raw energy. In 55 poems that swerve and crackle with a rare music, Inua Ellams unleashes a full-throated assault on empire and its legacies of racism, injustice and toxic masculinity. Written on the author's phone, in transit, between meetings, before falling asleep and just after waking, this is poetry as polemic, as an act of resistance, but also as dream-vision. At its heart, this book confronts the absolutism and 'foolish machismo' of hero culture—from Perseus to Trump, from Batman to Boko Haram. Through the thick gauze of history, these breathtaking poems look the world square in the face and ask, "What the actual—?" "This is what poetry looks like when you have nothing to lose, when you speak from the heart, when you have spent years honing your craft so that you can be free. This is what poetry looks like when you are a word-sorcerer, a linguistic swordsman, a metaphor-dazzler, a passionate creator of poetry as fire, as lament, as beauty, as reflection, as argument, as home. I was blown away by this book." - Bernardine Evaristo

        Catch the Rabbit

        by Lana Bastašić

        Uhvati zeca (Catch the Rabbit), by Lana Bastašić – Literary fiction European Union Prize for Literature 2020   Original language/Publisher: Kontrast Publishers (Serbia) Foreign rights sold: Ed. Nutrimenti (Italian), Picador (UK & Commonwealth) Restless Books (USA & Canada), Actes Sud (France), Fischer (Germany), Meulenhoff (The Netherlands), Navona (Spanish), Edicions del Periscopi (Catalan), Metropolis Media (Hungary), Perseus (Bulgaria), Eksmo (Russia), Ilksatir (Turkey), Sanje (Slovenia). Full English translation available     Catch the Rabbit is a story about two Bosnian young women and their complicated friendship. Twelve years after they last saw each other, Sara (who has been living in Dublin all these years) receives a phone call from Lejla (her closest friend from childhood) in which Lejla asks Sara to fly to Mostar and help her go on a road trip from Mostar to Vienna in order to find Armin, Lejla's long lost brother. Sara is reluctant to go as she has managed to build a new life in Ireland, away from the ghosts and horrors of the past. But something within her knows she will end up taking a plane…    The journey would prove to be much more than an innocuous reconnecting of old school friends: it is a road to a deeply balkanized "heart of darkness," where Lejla's life was reshaped by strict identity politics and her sense of self was lost together with a single letter from her name. Growing up in a Serbian family, Sara has had all the privileges denied to her best friend and has managed to repress her guilt together with her mother tongue. Now, years later, she has to go down the "rabbit hole" of her language and bear the Colridgean burden of telling the story over and over again. But being the one who tells the story is yet another privilege and Lejla will fight for it until the very last sentence, which will only take them back to the beginning.     Teresa Pütz, acquiring editor at Fischer Verlag (Germany) says about the novel: "I really enjoyed reading this thoughtful and quietly devastating novel about the friendship between two women. The book is rich with memorable scenes and the plot-line of their road trip from Mostar to Vienna propels the narrative along in a tangible way. I think Lana is a talent with a promising writing career on the horizon."     Paloma Sánchez (senior publisher) and Sterre Houweling (editor) from Meulenhoff (Netherlands) say about the novel: “An excellent novel that is as captivating as it is impressive in style and has occupied our minds and conversations at the publishing house now for days. We literally can’t stop talking about how much we loved Uhvati Zeca/Catch the Rabbit. We especially love the very thoughtful portrayal of a confused relationship amongst friends and the protagonist’s own past as well as a very plot driven story. You want to read on and on. It is this combination that captures for us the essence of storytelling.”     Ansa Khan, acquiring editor at Picador (UK), says about the novel: “I loved this brilliant, funny, moving novel. There is something immediately recognizable and affecting about the relationship between these two women; Lana Bastašić is so good on formative female friendship, and excellent on how we put our friends on pedestals and then are surprised when they fall off. The ending is a heart-breaking picture of how indelibly we’re marked by the loss of someone we love. I also found it a striking insight into how the traumas of war – in this case in the former Yugoslavia – echo down the years.”

        Across the Great Rift

        by Scott Washburn

        The new empires, which have arisen from the rubble of a devastating war, are looking with greedy eyes across the Great Rift to the untouched stars which lie there. Great riches and power will come to those who can control them. But a rival power is determined to hijack the attempt and has secreted an agent in the expedition to disrupt it with sabotage and murder. With the political and military personnel dead, the task of carrying on falls to the engineers and technicians. Their operation is further complicated by the fact that the far side of the Rift is not as uninhabited as it was supposed to be. Refugees from the earlier, destroyed civilization have already made a home here and they look upon the newcomers with decidedly mixed emotions. The crew must try to win the trust of the natives if they are to have any hope against the coming enemy attack.
