        Lost Island

        by Natalia Gumenyuk

        The Lost Island is a collection of reportage pieces from the Russian- occupied Crimea by a well-known journalist Nataliya Gumenyuk, who visited the peninsula in 2014– 2019. Her book tells the true stories and tragedies of people whose lives took a drastic turn after 2014. Some of these Crimean residents live under occupation, others in a different country. What is the unvarnished truth of their stories? Businessmen and retirees, Crimean Tatars, students and activists, human rights advocates and soldiers, people of varied political and ideological affiliations tell their stories: some want to share their quiet, long suppressed pain while others are tired of silently succumbing to fear.

        Paradise Lost

        by John Milton

        Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. The first version, published in 1667, consisted of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout and a note on the versification. The poem concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men".

        Courteous exchanges

        Spenser's and Shakespeare's gentle dialogues with readers and audiences

        by Patricia Wareh

        Courteous Exchanges explores the significant overlap between Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene and Shakespeare's plays, showing how both facilitate the critique of Renaissance aristocratic identity. Moving from a consideration of Castiglione's Book of the Courtier as a text that encouraged reader engagement, the book offers new readings of Shakespeare's plays in conjunction with Spenser. It pairs Love's Labour's Lost, Much Ado About Nothing, The Merchant of Venice, and The Winter's Tale with The Faerie Queene in order to explore how topics such as education, gender, religion, race, and aristocratic identity are offered up to reader and audience interpretation.

        Environment, labour and capitalism at sea

        'Working the ground' in Scotland

        by Penny McCall Howard. Series edited by Alexander Smith

        This book explores how fishers make the sea productive through their labour, using technologies ranging from wooden boats to digital GPS plotters to create familiar places in a seemingly hostile environment. It shows how their lives are affected by capitalist forces in the markets they sell to, forces that shape even the relations between fishers on the same boat. Fishers frequently have to make impossible choices between safe seamanship and staying afloat economically, and the book describes the human impact of the high rate of deaths in the fishing industry. The book makes a unique contribution to understanding human-environment relations, examining the places fishers create and name at sea, as well as technologies and navigation practices. It combines phenomenology and political economy to offer new approaches for analyses of human-environment relations and technologies. It contributes to the social studies of fisheries through an analysis of how deeply fishing practices and social relations are shaped by political economy. It will be read in universities by social scientists and anthropologists and also by those with an interest in maritime Scotland.

        Das Labyrinth der zärtlichen Kraft

        166 Liebesgeschichten. Mit einer DVD

        by Alexander Kluge, Thomas Combrink, Thomas Combrink

        Es gibt keine menschliche Eigenschaft, die älter und fürs Überleben notwendiger ist als die Liebe. Wer liebt, sagt man, ist verkauft mit Haut und Haar. Zugleich ist Liebe, so heißt es in Bizets Carmen, „frei wie ein Vogel“. Wie verschieden ist sie von anderen guten Dingen, von ruhiger Freundlichkeit, unerschütterlicher Ruhe, Vertragstreue und von ausgeglichenen Bilanzen! Sie ist ein ‚Attraktor’, unbezwinglich wie die Gravitation, nach der die Sterne tanzen. Zugleich aber der dunklen Energie ähnlich, die uns in eine unbekannte Zukunft vorwärtstreibt. In diesem Labyrinth der Gegensätze kann man sich verirren. In Zeiten der Not und der Finanzkrise versammelt sich die zärtliche Kraft an deren Gegenpol im Erzählten. Denn sie besitzt ihre ganz eigene Ökonomie. Die meisten der hier versammelten 166 Liebesgeschichten sind längst geschrieben. Sie verbargen sich bisher in den 2000 Texten von Alexander Kluge. „Basisgeschichten“ war einer ihrer Namen. Nun ordnen sie sich thematisch neu und in Gesellschaft neuer Geschichten und Reflexionen zu einem Flug über die Landkarten der Liebe. Auf einem Hochplateau endet dieser Flug, im Herzen des schönsten Liebesromans der nichtsentimentalen Tradition und einem Kardinaltext der Moderne über Beziehungsökonomie: der Princesse de Clèves der Madame de La Fayette. Mit einer DVD - Nachrichten vom Tausendfüßler. 21 unveröffentlichte Filme Länge: 158 Minuten Liebe baut ihre Gärten und Nester in den Formen der poetischen Kraft: Mit Hilfe von Büchern, von Filmen und Musikstücken. Zwei dieser Parameter fehlen in einem gedruckten Text. Deshalb ergänzt die folgende DVD die Geschichten durch bewegte Bilder, Filme und durch Schriften, die sich zu Musik bewegen. 1. Reimlexikon von 1826. Stichwort Liebe. (2’ 24’’) Die besten Reime von „Liebe“ bis „Getriebe“. Musik: If All of the Dead are Coming Ahead. Von Gustav & Band (Eva Jantschitsch). 2.

        The Candy Guild (2). The Lost Recipe

        by Tanja Voosen/ Viktoria Gavrilenko

        Magical sweets and real miracles? Elina has experienced them both in Belony, and now she can hardly wait to dip deeper into the world of the candy crafters. But it’s not long before a new problem arises, because just before Robin’s first candy crafting examination, his magic tool goes bust. Old Mr Snotty knows where they can get help, and he takes Elina and her friends to Bittersweet Avenue. It quickly becomes clear, though, that not all candy crafters are well disposed towards “ungifted” people. There are also rumours about the return of the mysterious Otherwise Society, which has tried once before to bring down the mighty Candy Guild. When Mr Snotty suddenly disappears without a trace, it’s up to Elina, Charlie and Robin to follow the clues he has left behind for them. They soon realize that there is a reason for his disappearance, because the Otherwise Society is looking for something in particular – and Elina, Charlie and Robin have the key to this something in their hands…
