        by Da Chuzhe

        From the fifth year of their marriage, Sumiko had to receive treatment in hospital for the acute pain caused by multiple rheumatoid arthritis. From that time on the disease had seized her. From 1982, Sumiko had to lie in the bed or rely on a wheelchair for the significant dysfunction of the upper limbs and the paralysis of the lower limbs, so she had to let her husband see to her daily life. And Oochuje took care of her basically all by himself unless he had a business trip and he would hire a care worker. This illustrated book elaborately depicts the story between them, including how they met and fell in love with each other during childhood, their daily conversations, their poems as well as their relentless fighting against disease. At the final part of the book, it mainly records the last thirty-three days from December 1997 to January 1998 during which the couple spent together until Sumiko had passed away. The words of the book is selected and the drawings simple yet profound through which one will be deeply touched for the deep and unchangeable love. “Over the hill” in common sense is an expression for death, but it means a whole new world for Oochuje and Sumiko where they would also walk side by side. Their love and cherish for each other was well beyond life and death for they never ceased to bring happiness for each other. And their love story has also enriched the world with pure beauty and wonder of love.

        Der Kreis

        Roman

        by Andreas Maier

        Das Kind steht in der Bibliothek seiner Mutter und versucht zu begreifen, was es vor sich hat: Bücher. Der Dreizehnjährige geht auf sein erstes Heavy-Metal-Konzert und erkennt ausgerechnet dort, dass man es auch Ernst meinen kann mit Kunst und Existenz. Eine Theatertruppe bringt ihm schließlich die Rolle seines Lebens bei, und am Ende begreift er den wahren und einzigen Mythos der Kunst: Tu es. Andreas Maiers Der Kreis ist eine Reflexion darüber, wie aus Vorläufigem Unbedingtes entstehen kann, wie man sich die Motive seines Lebens durch Anverwandlung des Gegebenen erschafft, und schließlich darüber, wie man überall, auch als Kind, ständig auf der Suche nach dem ist, was die Welt und das eigene Ich im Innersten zusammenhält.
