February 2020Nimbus
Gedichte
by Marion Poschmann
Nimbus, die dunkle Wolke, ist eine Erscheinung aus Schwung, Pracht, Weite, und doch gehört sie dem Formlosen, Ungreifbaren. Sie entfaltet Wirkung, sie bestimmt die Atmosphäre, zugleich entzieht sie sich, bleibt unbeherrschbar. Mit festem Griff und Subtilität, Witz und Zärtlichkeit unternimmt Marion Poschmann in ihren neuen Gedichten den Versuch, Nähe und Ferne zusammenzudenken und die maßlosen Kräfte der äußeren Gegenwart in einen Raum der Innigkeit zu verwandeln. Aber wo ist innen? Die Erforschung Sibiriens vor Beginn der Industrialisierung, flüchtige Begegnungen mit Tieren, die Nuanciertheit eines Farbtons oder die Verletzlichkeit von Eismassen spiegeln ebenso wie die kleinen magischen Praktiken des Alltags die Einzigartigkeit der globalen Veränderung. Nimbus ist eine Feier des Sublimen und des Schönen, mitreißend und formbewusst, unverwechselbar im Ton, lustvoll und philosophisch.

Children's & YAHeart of Mist
by Katrin Lange
A girl torn between two brothers. Regardless of which one she falls in love with it will be disastrous for the other. Christopher and Adrian have sworn that no girl will ever come between them again, because there is a sleeping monster inside Adrian, just waiting to hurt his brother. But then Jessa comes to High Moor Grange… Jessa would do anything to find her sister Alice, who has been registered as missing for five years. High Moor Grange is the first clue she has been given after all this time – but apart from a ruin shrouded in mist, all she finds there are the owners of this dilapidated manor house. Jessa suspects that they both know more about Alice’s disappearance than they admit. Christopher wants nothing more than to be rid of her, and constantly gets on her nerves with his arrogance – and even his warm-hearted brother Adrian seems to be harbouring some secrets. Jessica knows that she ought to stay away from the twin brothers, because instead of finding answers at High Moor Grange, she finds herself in danger of losing her heart in a battle against a 200-year-old curse. Dark, irresistible and deeply romantic – a modern Beauty and the Beast story by the queen of emotions!

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2017Asia in Western fiction
by Robin Winks
Any reader who has ever visited Asia knows that the great bulk of Western-language fiction about Asian cultures turns on stereotypes. This book, a collection of essays, explores the problem of entering Asian societies through Western fiction, since this is the major port of entry for most school children, university students and most adults. In the thirteenth century, serious attempts were made to understand Asian literature for its own sake. Hau Kioou Choaan, a typical Chinese novel, was quite different from the wild and magical pseudo-Oriental tales. European perceptions of the Muslim world are centuries old, originating in medieval Christendom's encounter with Islam in the age of the Crusades. There is explicit and sustained criticism of medieval mores and values in Scott's novels set in the Middle Ages, and this is to be true of much English-language historical fiction of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Even mediocre novels take on momentary importance because of the pervasive power of India. The awesome, remote and inaccessible Himalayas inevitably became for Western writers an idealised setting for novels of magic, romance and high adventure, and for travellers' tales that read like fiction. Chinese fictions flourish in many guises. Most contemporary Hong Kong fiction reinforced corrupt mandarins, barbaric punishments and heathens. Of the novels about Japan published after 1945, two may serve to frame a discussion of Japanese behaviour as it could be observed (or imagined) by prisoners of war: Black Fountains and Three Bamboos.
