October 1982Reise nach Warschau
Eine Schilderung aus den Jahren 1791–1793
by Joachim Christoph Friedrich Schulz, Karl Dedecius, Daniel Chodowiecki, Wolfram Schäfer, Klaus Zernack
Überwiegend ist das Buch der Schilderung Polens gewidmet, einer Sicht der polnischen Entwicklung in den Jahren 1791 bis 1793. Der Verfasser J. Ch. F. Schulz (1762-1798) berichtet, was er, als Mitglied der kurländischen Abordnung der »Bürgerlichen Union« zum Warschauer Reichstag, erlebt hat: die gesellschaftliche Gliederung des Staates, Sitte und Erziehung, künstlerische Ausdrucksformen, die politische Verfassung nebst der »Topographie« der Hauptstadt. Doch es bleibt nicht bei historisch-sozialen »Merkwürdigkeiten«: Schulz fragt auch nach den Gründen des Niedergangs der »Republik Polen«.

March 2007Die Verärgerten
Roman
by Bruno Bayen, Peter Handke
Die Frauen, die Welt und zwei Freunde, denen das Leben ein Rätsel und zugleich dessen Lösung ist: Jean und Osmer, von denen Bruno Bayens charmant irrlichternder Roman erzählt, sind Freunde – was natürlich nicht heißt, daß nicht der eine (welcher?)ein Auge auf die Frau des andern (des andern?) wirft. Und das wiederum heißt auch nur, daß ihr Leben jederzeit und ständig von vorn beginnen kann. Trotz der vielen Erinnerungen. Trotz allem. Bruno Bayen (geboren 1950 in Paris, wo er noch heute lebt, Schriftsteller, Übersetzer, Regisseur und Leiter einer freien Theatergruppe) schreibt geistesgegenwärtig, witzig, gewitzt. Die Verärgerten wirken wie ein Text von Robert Walser, verfilmt von Godard.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013The Papal Reform of the Eleventh Century
Lives of Pope Leo IX and Pope Gregory VII
by I. Robinson
The eleventh-century papal reform transformed western European Church and society and permanently altered the relations of Church and State in the west. The reform was inaugurated by Pope Leo IX (1048-54) and given a controversial change of direction by Pope Gregory VII (1073-85). This book contains the earliest biographies of both popes, presented here for the first time in English translation with detailed commentaries. The biographers of Leo IX were inspired by his universally acknowledged sanctity, whereas the biographers of Gregory VII wrote to defend his reputation against the hostility generated by his reforming methods and his conflict with King Henry IV. Also included is a translation of Book to a Friend, written by Bishop Bonizo of Sutri soon after the death of Gregory VII, as well as an extract from the violently anti-Gregorian polemic of Bishop Benzo of Alba (1085) and the short biography of Leo IX composed in the papal curia in the 1090s by Bishop Bruno of Segni. These fascinating narrative sources bear witness to the startling impact of the papal reform and of the 'Investiture Contest', the conflict of empire and papacy that was one of its consequences. An essential collection of translated texts for students of medieval history.

La ruta de la rata (The rat route)
by Jean-Claude Bauer, Frédéric Brremaud
The result of the combined work of Frédéric BRÉMAUD and Jean-Claude BAUER – the latter having covered the 1987 trial for Antenne 2 – KLAUS BARBIE, THE RAT'S ROUTE retraces the life of one of the greatest war criminals of the 20th century. Drawing on historical sources and the participation of Jean-Olivier VIOUT, the Deputy General Prosecutor during this historic trial, as well as Serge KLARSFELD, a staunch advocate for the cause of Jewish deportees – who pens the foreword to this work – they deliver a necessary narrative, bearing witness to one of the most resonant trials in history.

September 2010Weihnachten mit Rainer Maria Rilke
by Hella Sieber-Rilke
„Was schlug mir das Herz, vom Geburtstag an, über den St. Nikolaus-Tag auf Weihnachten zu“, schreibt Rilke seiner Mutter mit 48 Jahren, „und wie steigerte sich diese seine Erregtheit immer noch mehr, am 21ten, am 22ten, am 23ten, bis am seltsam ausgesparten Nachmittag des 24ten […] dann die Glocken, die Glockenspiele eindrangen, die dem Aufspringen der Türen zuvorflogen durch die Dämmerung des unvergleichlichen Wintertags.“ Die hier von Hella Sieber-Rilke zu einem Weihnachtslesebuch zusammengestellten Briefe, Gedichte und die Erzählung „Das Christkind“ sprechen von diesem beseligenden Gefühl der Vorfreude, das für Rilke zeitlebens mit dem Weihnachtsfest und vor allem dem Heiligen Abend verbunden blieb.

September 2012Sankt Nikolaus in Not
by Felix Timmermans, Aljoscha Blau, Anna Valeton-Hoos
»Es war ein Abend, wie geschaffen für Wunder und Mirakel.« Als alle Süßigkeiten verteilt sind, muss Sankt Nikolaus feststellen, dass »das bravste Kind der Welt« noch nicht beschenkt wurde – dabei wünscht sich Cäcilie nichts sehnlicher als das große Schokoladenschiff aus Trinchen Mutsers Laden. Sankt Nikolaus muss sich einiges einfallen lassen, um den Wunsch zu erfüllen – denn er hat kein Geld! Die vergnügliche Nikolausgeschichte zwischen Eierwaffel- und Süßrahmbutterstraße, die Aljoscha Blau fantasievoll und mit viel Witz und Wärme illustriert hat, entführt seit Generationen Leser in die magische Atmosphäre der Nikolausnacht. - Mit Illustrationen von Aljoscha Blau

January 2011Liebesgedichte
by Nicolas Born, Tom Schulz
"Es ist Sonntag/die Mädchen kräuseln sich und Wolken/ziehen durch die Wohnungen –". Nicolas Born (1937-1979) zählt heute zu den bedeutendsten Schriftstellern der deutschen Nachkriegsliteratur. Mit seinen Gedichten erregte er Anfang der siebziger Jahre Aufmerksamkeit. Er hatte sich auf den Weg gemacht über die konkrete Alltäglichkeit hin zu einer Schule der lyrischen Empfindsamkeit, die in seinen Gedichten einen neuen Ausdruck fand. Seine Gedichte wollen berühren, ohne sich aufzudrängen, sie sind eine zärtliche Geste, ein lässiger Wink. Das Thema der Liebe bleibt bei Born nie nur ein Gegenstand des Privaten, sondern es sucht die Idee der Gemeinschaft, die Vision einer solidarischen Gesellschaft. Es sucht nach dem Verhältnis von Mensch, Tier und Natur – zueinander und miteinander. In einem Nachwort zu Gedichten ihres Vaters schrieb Katharina Born: "Alle Gedichte meines Vaters sind Liebesgedichte." Die schönsten und trefflichsten hat der Lyriker Tom Schulz für diesen Band ausgewählt.

March 1986Sade. Fourier. Loyola
by Roland Barthes, Maren Sell, Jürgen Hoch
»Nicht aus Lust am Provozieren sind Sade, Fourier und Loyola in ein und demselben Buch zusammengestellt worden, sondern weil alle drei Klassifikatoren, Sprachbegründer waren: der verfemte Schriftsteller begründete eine Sprache des erotischen Vergnügens, der utopische Philosoph eine Sprache des sozialen Glücks und der heilige Jesuit eine Sprache der Anrufung Gottes. Zeichen erfinden und nicht, wie wir es alle tun, nur konsumieren heißt paradoxerweise in den Bereich jenes Nachhinein des Sinns einzutreten, der das signifiant darstellt, kurz, eine Schreibweise praktizieren. Daher beschäftigt sich dieses Buch auch nicht mit dem Inhalt der Schriften dieser drei Autoren (…), sondern es behandelt Sade, Fourier und Loyola als Formulierer, Erfinder von Schreibweisen, Textoperateure.« Roland Barthes

April 2021RNAi for Plant Improvement and Protection
by Bruno Mezzetti, Jeremy Sweet, Lorenzo Burgos
RNA interference (RNAi) has the potential to make major contributions towards sustainable crop production and protection with minimal environmental impacts compared to other technologies. RNAi is being developed and exploited both within plants (i.e. host-induced gene silencing, HIGS) and/or as topical applications (e.g. spray-induced gene silencing, SIGS) for targeting pest and pathogen genes and for manipulating endogenous gene expression in plants. Chapters by international experts review current knowledge on RNAi, methods for developing RNAi systems in GM plants and applications for crop improvement, crop production and crop protection. Chapters examine both endogenous systems in GM plants and exogenous systems where interfering RNAs are applied to target plants, pests and pathogens. The biosafety of these different systems is examined and methods for risk assessment for food, feed and environmental safety are discussed. Finally, aspects of the regulation of technologies exploiting RNAi and the socio-economic impacts of RNAi technologies are discussed. Chapter 1: Introduction to RNAi in Plant Production and Protection. Bruno Mezzetti, Jeremy Sweet and Lorenzo Burgos Chapter 2: Gene silencing to induce pathogen-derived resistance in plants. Zhen Liao, Elena Zuriaga, Ángela Polo and Maria L. Badenes Chapter 3: Exogenous application of small RNAs as a tool for gene function discovering.

The ArtsJanuary 2019Jean-Jacques Beineix
by Philip Powrie
This volume is the first to examine, in either French or English, the films of Jean-Jacques Beineix, often seen as the best example of the 1980s cinéma du look, with cult films, such as Diva and Betty Blue (37º 2 le matin) .. After an introduction which places Beineix in the context of the 1980s and the arguments centering on a postmodern cinema, the volume devotes a chapter to each of Beineix's feature films, including the film which marked his return to feature film making after a break of a decade, Mortel Transfert (2001). Prefaced by an excellent foreword by the director himself, which includes a broad condemnation of French critics. Includes many illustrations direct from the director's own collection, complementing the interviews Powrie made with him and his collaborators.

2019At Night, Everyone is an Enemy
True stories
by Bruno Schrep
One wrong word, one perceived insult – a small matter may begin a chain of events resulting in tragedy. This was the case with Anothai S., who died in a brawl in Hamburg in September 2014. A quote from the circumstances of this death, reconstructed by Bruno Schrep for the SPIEGEL magazine, has given this book its title. “At Night, Everyone is an Enemy” compiles true stories of people who have been torn from their normal lives and plunged into despair from one moment to the next. In one case, it is a rumour that destroys all plans – the accusation of having abused children. Likewise, the information that your father and mother, who raised you, are not your biological parents, can turn your life upside down. And many an accident destroys not only the life of the victim, but also that of the person who caused the accident. As an accurate observer, Bruno Schrep describes human tragedies with empathy, but also with a keen eye for structural problems.
