        »Was lieben heißt«

        Gedanken für ein gutes Leben

        by Alois Prinz, Teresa von Ávila

        Teresa von Avilas Schriften sind überraschend modern. Nicht nur, was sie sagt, sondern auch, wie sie es sagt. Sie schrieb spontan, ungekünstelt und nur über Dinge, die sie aus eigener Erfahrung kannte: über Alltagssorgen, zwischenmenschliche Probleme und über die Bewältigung geschäftlicher Unternehmungen. Ihre Schriften sprühen vor geistreichen Ausdrücken, Scherzen, humorvollen Anspielungen, kleinen boshaften Bemerkungen, eindringlichen Sprachbildern und sehr menschlichen Beobachtungen und Ratschlägen. Ihre wichtigste Botschaft aber – vor allem an Frauen – ist, sich selbst kennenzulernen, ein selbstbestimmtes und aktives Leben zu führen und die Spiritualität im Alltag zu leben – und so bedeutet Liebe auch, achtsam mit sich selbst zu sein. Alois Prinz hat aus dem umfangreichen Werk Teresa von Avilas all die Gedanken ausgewählt, die uns auch heute noch als Wegweiser für ein erfülltes und zufriedenes Leben dienen können.

        Pat Barker

        by John Brannigan, Daniel Lea

        This book provides a comprehensive account and critical analysis of the literary career of Pat Barker. It offers readings of Barker's innovations in narrative form, her revisionist perspectives on history, class and gender, and her preoccupation with themes of trauma, haunting and terror. It also analyses the reasons for her success and significance as a novelist. The chapters draw on contemporary theories of critical realism, gender and social identities, memory and narrative, in order to outline the debates with which Barker's work has consistently engaged. Brannigan argues that Barker is one of the most important writers in modern English literary history. She is principally renowned and widely acclaimed for her 'Regeneration' trilogy, the last volume of which, 'The Ghost Road', won the Booker Prize in 1995. In recent novels, Barker has continued to deal with controversial and shocking themes, including child murderers and the meanings of 'terror' in the contemporary world. ;

        Safe as Houses

        Grenfell, disaster housing, and the outsourced state

        by Stuart Hodkinson

        As the tragedy of the Grenfell tower fire has slowly revealed a shadowy background of outsourcing, private finance initiatives and a council turning a blind eye to health and safety concerns, many questions need answers. Stuart Hodkinson has those answers. He has worked for the last decade with residents groups in council regeneration projects across London. As residents have been shifted out of 60s and 70s social housing to make way for higher rent paying newcomers, they have been promised a higher quality of housing. Councils have passed the responsibility for this housing to private consortia who amazingly have been allowed to self-regulate on quality and safety. Residents have been ignored for years on this and only now are we hearing the truth. Stuart will weave together his research on PFIs, regulation and resident action to tell the whole story of how Grenfell happened and how this could easily have happened in multiple locations across the country.
