Reineke Fuchs
by Reinhard Michl, Matthias Reiner
Pünktlich zu Pfingsten lässt König Nobel alle Tiere wie jedes Jahr zum Hoftag rufen. Nur einer erscheint nicht: Reineke Fuchs. Denn er wird zahlloser Verbrechen beschuldigt: »Wenn Reineke tot wäre, könnten wir alle in Frieden leben.« Schließlich stellt er sich dem Gerichtsverfahren, doch am Ende siegt nicht die Gerechtigkeit, sondern der trickreichste und skrupelloseste Protagonist, der begabteste Lügner .... Reineke Fuchs wird Kanzler, sein Wort »fortan Gesetz«. Das parabelhafte Epos, erstmals 1498 in deutscher Sprache erschienen, wurde Volksbuch, Klassiker und Kinderbuch, ist seither in unzähligen Auflagen und Ausgaben erschienen. Für die Ausgabe der Insel-Bücherei wird der Urtext nacherzählt, Reinhard Michl hat ihn mit seinen unverwechselbaren Bildern illustriert. »Reinecke Fuchs. Vor Jahrhunderten hätte ein Dichter dies gesungen? Wie ist das möglich? Der Stoff ist ja von gestern und heut!« Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Reineke Fuchs
by Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein, Hermann Mildenberger
Goethe kannte das niederdeutsche Volksbuch von Reinke de vos; ihm folgt sein satirisches Versepos Reineke Fuchs von 1793. Die Parodie auf die spätmittelalterliche Feudalordnung verwandelte Goethe in eine Parodie auf seine eigene, von revolutionären Umbrüchen gekennzeichnete Gegenwart. Die Fabel vom Fuchs, der durch Klugheit und List, durch elegante Rhetorik und überredungskunst die anderen Tiere besiegt, hat viele Schriftsteller zu Nachahmungen und Neudichtungen veranlaßt. Die Wirkungsgeschichte dauert bis heute an. Der Maler Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein (1751 – 1829) hat eine brillante, farbenfrohe Illustrationsfolge zum Werk seines Freundes gestaltet. Doch nicht nur bildkünstlerisch, sondern auch literarisch hat er sich mit dem Reineke Fuchs auseinandergesetzt. Er entwarf einen »Anti-Reineke-Fuchs«, eine verblüffend gegenläufig konzipierte Fabel, in der er die Füchse mit ihrer übergroßen Schläue in die eigene Schlinge gehen und das intrigante Spiel verlieren läßt.

Blankow oder Das Verlangen nach Heimat
by Pauline Bok, Waltraud Hüsmert
Pauline de Bok nimmt sich eine Auszeit vom Großstadtleben und zieht sich zurück aufs Land. Mit ihrem Hund läßt sie sich auf einem Gehöft nördlich von Berlin nieder. In den verfallenen Gebäuden stößt die Journalistin auf Reste des Lebens voriger Bewohner, sie stöbert auf Dachböden, in Kellern und Archiven, befragt Einheimische. Sie folgt den Spuren, die Menschen und Zeiten hinterlassen haben, und setzt die vergessenen Geschichten von Land und Leuten zusammen: »Das Land, das scheinbar stumm und stoisch Wetter und Weltgeschehen über sich ergehen lässt, es beginnt zu sprechen.« Welt am Sonntag

Tiergeschichten
Gedichte für Kinder
by Ekkehard Schall, Volker Pfüller
Man kennt Ekkehard Schall als Schauspieler, als Theaterlehrer und als Lyriker; mit seinem letzten Buch ist er nun als Kinderbuchautor zu entdecken. Die farbigen Illustrationen des Buchkünstlers Volker Pfüller zeigen nicht die sattsam bekannten, als Polizisten etc. verkleideten Tiere, sondern schnüren mit ihrer unkonventionellen Gestaltung die kindliche Phantasie nicht ein. Schall spricht Kinder an, indem er sie als Leser oder Zuhörer ernst nimmt und sie mit Kindischem verschont. In lustigen, ungewöhnlich gereimten Versen greift er das Muster der Tierfabel auf und bezieht es auf unsere Zeit. Petz der Bär und Reineke Fuchs fehlen ebensowenig wie Grimbart der Dachs und Meister Lampe, aber auch Bob der Frosch, Else Elster, Hein der Krebs und selbst Willi Mensch halten Einzug in Ekkehard Schalls Fabelwelt. Und in einem großen, an die Vogelhochzeit angelehnten Schlußgesang kommen alle Tiere zu Wort und lesen, jedes auf seine Weise, dem Vogel, der von Baum zu Baum fliegt, um Waffen zu erbetteln, die Leviten: ein Vermächtnis. Die Tiergeschichten von Ekkehard Schall mit den frechen Bildern von Volker Pfüller sind als Vorlesetexte für die Kleineren ebenso geeignet wie als Immerwiederlesetexte für Erwachsene. Und auch der (Vor-) Leser hat seine Freude daran, wenn Schall mit der Form der klassischen Fabel spielt.

Krautwelten
by Angelika Overath
Kraut und Kohl, früher als Notgemüse der Armen verschrien, haben die Keller und Kohlmieten hinter sich gelassen und sind bis in die Hipster-Lofts von London und die Feinschmeckerlokale Berlins aufgestiegen: Federkraut und Pak Choi, Weißkraut, Wirsing und Brokkoli werden heute als »Superfood« gefeiert.Vom Millionen Jahre alten Kerguelenkohl, dem eleganten Filderkraut bis zu den Flower Sprouts der jüngsten Züchtungen führt Angelika Overath durch eine kleine Kulturgeschichte dieser Gemüse-Wohltäter. Sie vergegenwärtigt die legendäre Heilwirkung der Pflanze, die seit der Antike überliefert wird, und erinnert an James Cooks Südsee-Expeditionen, deren Erfolg sich dem Sauerkraut verdankte. Sie verrät erprobte Rezepte gegen Arthrose und zur Gewichtsreduktion, erzählt von persönlichen Krauterlebnissen und widmet sich in liebevollen Porträts der Schönheit und dem besonderen Wesen von Kohlpflanzen.

WHY I CAN'T WRITE
How to survive in a world where you can’t pay rent, can’t afford to focus, be healthy or to remain principled. Dijana Matković tells a powerful story of searching for a room of her own in the late stages of capitalism.
by DIJANA MATKOVIĆ
It is a coming-of-age story for Generation Z. How to grow up or even live in a world where no steady jobs are available, you can’t pay your rent and can’t afford medical or living expenses. Moreover, it touches on how to be a socially engaged artist in such a world, and more so, a woman in a post-me too world? Dijana, a daughter of working-class immigrants, tells the story of her difficult childhood and adolescence, how should became a journalist and later a writer in a society full of prejudices, glass ceilings and obstacles. How she gradually became a stereotypical ‘success story’, even though she still struggles with writing, because she can’t afford a ‘room of her own’. Dijana is a daughter of working-class immigrants, who came to Slovenia in the eighties in search of a better future. The family is building a house but is made redundant from the local factory when Yugoslavia is in the midst of an economic crisis. When her parents get divorced, Dijana, her older sister and mother struggle with basic needs. She is ashamed of their poverty, her classmates bully her because of her immigrant status, but mostly because of her being ‘white trash’. In the local school she meets teachers with prejudices against immigrants, but is helped by a librarian who spots her talent. When Dijana goes to secondary school, she moves in with her older sister who lives in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Her sister is into rave culture and Dijana starts to explore experimenting with drugs, music and dance. At the secondary school, she is again considered ‘the weird kid’, as she isn’t enough of a foreigner for other immigrant kids because she is from the country, yet she isn’t Slovenian enough for other native kids. She falls even deeper into drug addiction, fails the first year of school and has to move back to live with her mother. She takes on odd jobs to make ends meet. Whilst working as a waitress she encounters sexism and sexual violence from customers and abuse from the boss. She finishes night school and graduates. She meets many ‘lost’ people of her generation along the way, who tell her their stories about precarious, minimum wage jobs, lack of opportunities, expensive rent, etc. Dijana writes for numerous newspapers but loses or quits her job, because she isn’t allowed to write the stories she wants or because of the bad working conditions or the blatant sexual harassment. Due to the high rent in the capital, Dijana has to move to the countryside to live with her mother. She feels lonely there, struggles with anxiety and cannot write a second book, because she is constantly under pressure to make a living. She realises that she must persevere regardless of the obstacles, she must follow her inner truth and by writing about it, try to create a community of like-minded people, a community of people who support each other – all literature/art is social.

Asian Vegetables
by Caroline Ho-Yi Wang, Patricia Ho-Yi Wang, Stéphanie Ho-Yi Wang, photos by Virginie Gosselin
If bok choy has been able to acquire a prominent place on Western shelves, many other Asian vegetables still remain unknown. But these tasty, nutritious vegetables can be easily grown in temperate, and even northern, climates! Caroline, Stephanie andPatricia Ho-Yi Wang, three sisters of Cantonese origin, have made it their mission to introduce these vegetables, which everyone will love, in a unique book that is both a guide to gardening and a cookbook, as well as the story of a family. Presenting 15 Asian vegetables according to each season, the book offers advice to Sunday gardeners as well as future market gardeners on how to organically grow and harvest these vegetables, as well as provides preservation techniques, nutritional information and cookingmethods. Around forty recipes, some of which were created by famous chefs, are presented as well. The Wang sisters also explore the world of Asian vegetables from a cultural point of view, tracing the place that these hold in their own lives and in those of their family members, many of whom left China to emigrate to Madagascar before finally settling in Quebec. A true homage to the earth, good food and one’s roots!

The Bird Within Me Flies Wherever it Wants
by Sara Lundberg
What do you do when it feels impossible to live up to everything that is expected of you? What do you do when the only person who understands you disappear? When you are young and carry a longing for something that you can hardly put words on? Berta was born in 1910 on a farm in a small village in northern Sweden. During her childhood, she lost both her sister and her beloved mother in tuberculosis, the severe lung disease that affected so many people in the early 1900s. She knew early on that she wanted to be an artist and took a stand against the many conventions that existed when it came to work, family and dreams. The Bird Within Me Flies Wherever It Wants is based on the life of artist Berta Hansson but it is also a universal story of grief, longing, intransigence and the power of imagination to change.
