April 2007Die Apokryphen des Lazarus
Zwölf Feuilletons
by Attila Bartis, Laszlo Kornitzer
In seinem neuen Buch erfindet sich Attila Bartis ein Alter ego, einen auferstandenen Lazarus, der ein Jahr lang monatlich einen Zeitungsartikel abliefern muß – »zwölf wahre Geschichen von Gott«. Unverhohlen autobiographisch, spielen einige im Rumänien der Ceau?escu-Diktatur, andere handeln von einer Reise in den Nahen Osten, an den »tiefsten Punkt der Welt«, wo ihn die Frage nach dem Ort Gottes umtreibt – ob seine Stelle am Ende leer sei. »Vielleicht war sie auch nicht leer, nur ließ er sich nicht richtig blicken. Oder er ließ sich blicken, doch der Mensch hatte sich ihn ganz anders vorgestellt.«

October 2002Der Babylonische Talmud
by Lazarus Goldschmidt
Das grundlegende Werk der jüdischen Tradition in deutscher Übersetzung – 12 Bände in einer einmaligen, limitierten Sonderausgabe zum Vorzugspreis.Die vorliegende Übersetzung von Lazarus Goldschmidt, ein Nachdruck der in den Jahren 1930 bis 1936 im Jüdischen Verlag erschienenen Ausgabe, ist bis heute die einzige vollständige Übertragung des kanonischen Textes des Babylonischen Talmud, der Mischna und Gemara, ins Deutsche. In vielhundertjähriger mündlicher Überlieferung entstanden, wurde der Babylonische Talmud im 6. Jahrhundert kodifiziert. Talmud bedeutet »Belehrung«, »Studium«. Er gliedert sich in sechs große Ordnungen, die wiederum unterteilt sind in zahlreiche Traktate, die Fragen aus allen Bereichen jüdischen Lebens aufnehmen und diskutieren. Der Kern des Talmud ist die Mischna, die Zusammenstellung der religionsgesetzlichen Lehrsätze durch die Schriftgelehrten in den ersten Jahrhunderten unserer Zeitrechnung. Zum Text der Mischna tritt die Gemara: die Diskussionen der späteren Rabbinen über die Diskussionen der früheren Rabbinen. In der talmudischen Überlieferung – mit ihrer Fülle an Argumenten und Gegenargumenten, an Geschichten und Gegengeschichten – findet die jüdisch-rabbinische Tradition ihren eigentlichen Ausdruck. Ausgehend von dem geoffenbarten Wort Gottes, entwickelt sich ein unendlicher, generationenübergreifender Prozeß des Lernens und Verstehens – Auslegung der Heiligen Schrift, Kommentar und Kommentar zum Kommentar.

The Lazarus Shares
A Wertheim's Return To Berlin
by T.M. Löwenthal
With the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Germans offer to return unclaimed properties to the survivors and heirs able to provide proof of original ownership. This is the story of those who inherited the challenge of such an offer, those who would build a case to reclaim the assets and risk revisiting the past. Part exposé and part family saga, The Lazarus Shares is a tale within a tale, the story of emigrant wealthy Wertheims, Jewish Berliners whose present-day heirs face the ironic task of amassing proof of their family’s Berlin credentials. But it is in-between these timelines that the real story is revealed, a brother and sister trying to keep up with their mother, the wild Lili whose mastery of assimilation is exceeded only by her mastery of a vagabond life. Stretching from Kassel to Jerusalem, Budapest to London, Hollywood to Bogota, the story unravels one man’s stand against the past, Gus Maparae’s legacy to his daughter, Emma, the last of the Wertheims, the last pawn left standing. The author lives with her family in a small house on the Southern Carmel Mountains in Israel enjoying a view to Phoenician ruins, a magical milieu to her other pursuits as a teacher of Philosophy (Ethics) and local tour guide. An English-language eBook edition has been scheduled for publication in fall 2017 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA. 360 pages 15 x 22.5 cm.

MedicineHumanity in the Crisis Zone
Field Report of a Nurse on H umanitarian Aid with Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in South Sudan
by Andreas F. Lutz
A hospital somewhere in remote South Sudan. A place where peoples’ lives are marked by extreme poverty, war, violence, the climate crisis and the daily struggle for survival. How does it feel to be human under these conditions? What moves someone to voluntarily go where nobody would want to? Andreas Lutz takes you on a journey to a project run by the humanitarian aid organization Médecins Sans Frontières in the northeast of South Sudan. Impressed by encounters with people who live under the precarious conditions of this crisis zone, he writes about his experiences as a caregiver and, among other things, about how healthcare provision works with very limited resources.
