        Rice

        by Su Tong

        Rice is a collection of fictional works by Su Tong, which includes Rice, Three Lamps and Fish of the People. Rice, a tale of desire, agony, existence and destruction, is a novel Su Tong wrote in the early 1990s. It depicts the samsara-like life of a man who migrated to the city by train to run away from famine and who eventually returns to his hometown also by train. The wandering life in a strange place is the basic generalization of his life and his death on the way home marks the climax of the whole story. Rice is the most noteworthy one among the few novels Su Tong has written so far.

        by Chen Jiafei

        A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains. The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep"; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance.

        Erzählungen

        by Christa Wolf, Gerhard Wolf

        Mottenburg nennen die Patienten ihre Lungenheilstätte, in der alle an derselben Krankheit leiden, alle die »Motten« haben. Einer von ihnen ist der achtjährige August, der seine Mutter auf der Flucht aus Ostpreußen verloren hat und selbst verloren wäre, gäbe es da nicht Lilo. Lilo ist siebzehn, sie ist schön, sie wagt es, sich mit der Oberschwester anzulegen, und wenn Lilo seinen Namen ausspricht, klingt er anders als sonst. Mehr als sechzig Jahre danach sind die Erinnerungen an diese Zeit immer noch präsent, kann August darin wie in einem Bilderbuch blättern. In »August«, Christa Wolfs letzter, begeister aufgenommener Erzählung, ebenso wie in den Erzählungen »Blickwechsel« und »Zu einem Datum« lesen wir von schwierigen Zeiten im Zeichen von Krieg und Krankheit, aber auch von Menschen, die etwas erfahren haben, das man wohl Glück nennen könnte.

        Wolf Walk Thousands of Miles

        by Mu Ling

        This volume consists of three middle-grade stories, "Wolf Walk Thousands of Miles" "A Short Biography of Rooster 'Fighting Tiger'" and "The Ice Fox". "Wolf Walk Thousands of Miles" tells the story of a small pack of wolves rescued by human beings and released into the mountains. Under the guidance of their parents, the wolves grow up in the "greenhouse", gradually adapting to the crisis-ridden wilderness, and live happily. When the hunting dog escapes its owner and returns to the mountains, it destroys the peace and quiet there. A cub is killed, and the male wolf, desperate to protect his son, is killed by a poacher's forgotten hunting gear. Without their tough leader, the "tame" wolves are in an unprecedented predicament. They meander for thousands of miles, and through grueling trials and tribulations, quickly grow into self-reliant hunters and defenders of the mountains and forests. A short biography of the cockerel. "Fighting Tiger" is about the extraordinary adventures of a chicken. Through the whimsical "training" of two urban and rural schoolchildren, this small rooster, which had once circled a tiger in a zoo, nearly became the "black horse" in the "cockfighting" competition. The Ice Fox used to be a hunting dog. After the hunting ban, the village has become a folkloric tourist area, and the ice fox, which used to be favored by the hunters, has been given a cold shoulder. Unwilling to be lonely, it even attacked the pets brought by the tourists, and broke into trouble again and again. Lonely hound finally recovered its nature in nature, found friends, and recovered the happiness belonging to a family dog.

        Umbrüche und Wendezeiten

        by Christa Wolf, Thomas Grimm, Thomas Grimm, Gerhard Wolf, Gerhard Wolf

        »Wir staunen, was wir offenbar schon lange gedacht haben und was wir uns jetzt laut zurufen: Demokratie jetzt oder nie!« Als Christa Wolf am 4. November 1989 diese Worte den versammelten Menschen am Alexanderplatz zuruft, steht die weltberühmte Schriftstellerin im Zentrum politischer Umbrüche. Sogar das Staatspräsidentenamt wird ihr angeboten. Wie hat die engagierte Autorin die DDR, den Mauerfall und die Wiedervereinigung erlebt? Im Jahr 2008 führte Thomas Grimm ein Interview mit Christa Wolf und ihrem Mann Gerhard Wolf. Christa Wolf erinnert sich in dem Gespräch an den Alltag in der DDR, die Überwachung durch die Stasi und die friedliche Revolution von 1989, zu deren wichtigsten Stimmen sie gehörte. Sie spricht über ihre vergebliche Hoffnung auf einen wirklich demokratischen Sozialismus in der DDR, über die Wiedervereinigung und ihre Eindrücke des sich verändernden Kunst- und Kulturbetriebs. Ihre gesellschaftlichen Diagnosen sind ihrer Zeit weit voraus, ob es den Wegzug junger Leute aus Ostdeutschland, die Ausbreitung rechter Gesinnungen oder die drohenden Folgen des Klimawandels betrifft. Christa Wolf zeigt sich als scharfsinnige Analytikerin der Wendezeit und couragierte Zeitgenossin und gibt ganz persönliche Einblicke in ihr Leben.
