        Sleep and its spaces in Middle English literature

        Emotions, ethics, dreams

        by Megan Leitch

        Middle English literature is intimately concerned with sleep and the spaces in which it takes place. In the medieval English imagination, sleep is an embodied and culturally determined act. It is both performed and interpreted by characters and contemporaries, subject to a particular habitus and understood through particular hermeneutic lenses. While illuminating the intersecting medical and moral discourses by which it is shaped, sleep also sheds light on subjects in favour of which it has hitherto been overlooked: what sleep can enable (dreams and dream poetry) or what it can stand in for or supersede (desire and sex). This book argues that sleep mediates thematic concerns and questions in ways that have ethical, affective and oneiric implications. At the same time, it offers important contributions to understanding different Middle English genres: romance, dream vision, drama and fabliau.

        Die Stille zwischen den Sekunden

        by Witte, Tania

        Nur knapp ist Mara einem Bombenattentat in der U-Bahn entgangen. Ihre Mitschüler nennen sie seither „Das Mädchen, das überlebt hat“ und erwarten Betroffenheit von ihr. Aber Mara hat ganz andere Sorgen. Ihre Freundin Sirîn meldet sich immer seltener und scheint plötzlich komplett unerreichbar. Je mehr Mara ihr zu helfen versucht, desto mehr Unverständnis und Ablehnung erntet sie. Was verheimlichen alle vor ihr? Erst als sich ihr Schwarm Chriso in die Suche einschaltet, kommt die erschütternde Wahrheit ans Licht. "Ein Buch, das unter die Haut geht." Corinna Schmitz, Blog „buecherweltcorniholmes“ "Ein Buch, das aktueller nicht sein könnte!" Timo Muth, Blog „rainbookworld“ "Ein Roman, der mich unsagbar berührt und völlig verloren und erschüttert zurückgelassen hat." Susanne Matiaschek, „Magische Momente Alys Bücherblog“ "Wer gerne feinfühlige, spannende, emotionale und lebensnahe Jugendbücher liest, sollte unbedingt zu „Die Stille zwischen den Sekunden“ von Tania Witte greifen. Mich hat die Geschichte komplett von den Füßen gerissen und ich bin in jeglicher Hinsicht begeistert." Blog "Buchstabenträumerei"
