March 1985Die Eroberung Amerikas
Das Problem des Anderen
by Tzvetan Todorov, Wilfried Böhringer
"»Wenngleich jedes Datum, das zwei Epochen gegeneinander abgrenzen soll, immer willkürlich bleibt, so ist doch keines besser geeignet, den Beginn des modernen Zeitalters zu markieren, als das Jahr 1492, das Jahr, in dem Colón den Atlantischen Ozean überquert. Wir alle sind indirekte Nachkommen Colóns, mit ihm beginnt unsere Genealogie - sofern das Wort Beginn überhaupt einen Sinn hat. Seit 1492 sind wir, wie es Las Casas ausgedrückt hat, ›in dieser so neuen und keiner anderen vergleichbaren Zeit‹ (Historia de las Indias, I, 88*). Seit diesem Datum ist die Welt geschlossen (obwohl das Universum unendlich wird), ›die Welt ist klein‹, wie Colón selbst ganz erschieden feststellt (›Carta rarísima‹, 7. 7. 1503); die Menschen haben nun die Ganzheit entdeckt, deren Bestandteil sie sind, während sie bis dahin ein Teil ohne Ganzes waren. Dieses Buch soll ein Versuch sein, durch die Lektüre einiger Texte, deren Autoren meine Personen sein werden, zu verstehen, was an diesem Tag und im Verlauf des darauffolgenden Jahrhunderts geschehen ist.« (T. Todorov)"

August 2006Buenos Aires
Ein Reisebegleiter
by Sieglinde Oehrlein
In Buenos Aires blühte seit jeher das kulturelle Leben. Hier lebten nicht nur Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, der Tangokönig Carlos Gardel und Diego Maradona, hier logierten Ana Pavlova und Manuel de Falla im ersten Hotel der Stadt, die Großen der Opernwelt – Caruso, Karajan, Toscanini, Callas – gastierten am Teatro Colón, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry entwarf seinen Vol de nuit in einem der ersten Hochhäuser der Stadt und Federico García Lorca war monatelang die Attraktion der Theaterwelt. Sieglinde Oehrlein führt den Leser auf den Spuren dieser und anderer Persönlichkeiten durch die Stadt und an so manche versteckte Orte, an die es normalerweise keinen Touristen verschlägt.

February 2014Beach Glass
by Suzan Colón
Finding love means taking risks, letting go, and believing in second chances . . . A devastating break-up— Yes, I’m ready to be your wife after five years together. I’m ready to marry you, to do laundry together, to have kids with you and wake up in the middle of the night when they cry, and try to find time for sex, and laugh about it when we can’t. I’m ready for all of it, Daniel. Katy McNamara is ready, but Daniel, her devoted but commitment-wary boyfriend, isn’t. When her thirtieth birthday comes and goes without a marriage proposal, she leaves the dull safety of an east coast freelance job for an assignment in Costa Rica, hoping the distraction of writing about yoga and surfing in a tropical paradise will help her heal. Enter Carson Richardson—tanned, tall, and handsome, a world-class surfer who also happens to be smart, wealthy, and a very nice guy. A breathtaking new love— Carson the surf god teaches me how to ride the waves. Carson sits with me on a surfboard, and we kiss as the sun sets behind us. Carson looks on with approval as I send a postcard home with one sentence that reads: I’m not coming back. Loving Carson opens a world of adventure for Katy, though the dangers of his sport always lurk at the edges of their happiness. If the unthinkable happens, will the fantasy be enough? Falling in love means trusting, hoping, sharing—and learning to live for today. Falling in love means realizing that life is as fragile and as beautiful as beach glass. Suzan Colón is the author of young adult novels based on the TV series Smallville. Suzan has contributed to O, the Oprah Magazine, Good Housekeeping, and many other publications. She has been practicing yoga for nearly twenty-five years, is a twice-certified yoga instructor, and has taught at the world-renowned Integral Yoga Institute in New York City. She lives in New Jersey with her husband, Nathan. Visit the author at SuzanColon.net.

FictionTHE LOONY BIN ON THE HILL
by SUZANA TRATNIK
NOMINATED FOR THE KRESNIK AWARD IN 2019 (FOR THE BEST NOVEL IN SLOVENIA). THE LOONY HOUSE ON THE HILL (Norhaus na hribu) “Oh, believe me, this woman, who is still so young, did all this. She killed someone, disposed of the body and concealed it all.” This sentence in the introduction to the novel surprises us, but still does not prepare us for what follows. The main character, Ariana, whose mother disappeared when Ariana was still very little, lives in a tense, conflictive relationship with her aunt, in the remote village of Privežice. The place which, as noted by the merciless observer and commentator Ariana, appeared around the madhouse on the hill at the end of the paved road, where one of the inmates was her grandmother. What happens is not a typical love story or a typical story about getting to know oneself, although it talks precisely about this. What distinguishes this novel above all else is the lively, flowing dialogue, and the uncompromising, direct aesthetics (sometimes involving ugliness or at least uncouthness or lack of political correctness), which grabs us and takes us on a crazy adventure.

Art Styles Not Defined by DateNovember 2013De wereld vanuit een luchtballon
by Robert Verhoogt
The invention of the hot air balloon in 1783 caused a sensation which would last for more than a century. The great aeronaut Jean-Pierre Blanchard and his fellow pioneers were followed by many others, whose lift-off attracted masses of people again and again. The subsequent “balloon mania” created a new element in cultural history: the third dimension, reflected in the literary and visual arts as well as in high culture and popular imagination. Scenes from a Balloon skilfully endeavours to reconstruct the sensation the balloon caused in cultural history of the late eighteenth and nineteenth century in Europe and the United States. After Thomas Baldwin produced the first image from a balloon in 1785, reproduction of remarkable prints, paintings, and photographs gained widespread popularity. Balloons inspired well-known photographers and artists, including Nadar, Spelterini, Goya, Manet, Daumier, and Redon, but they also led to a wealth of arts & crafts and popular souvenirs. The adventures of Blanchard, Nadar and other balloonists were a source of inspiration for popular writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and Mark Twain.
