Smith-Obolensky Media
Smith-Obolensky Media is an international media boutique featuring the work by award-winning author Ivan Obolensky. His gothic mystery, Eye of the Moon, sold over ten thousand copies and the sequel is well underway for release next year. The Latin American Spanish literary translation has been accepted into the Librería Nacional chain, the largest in Colombia, for a thousand paperbacks to be sold in their stores (including those in three international airports). We are magicmakers. How many of us have changed from a simple line we once read, or a film we saw at a crossroads moment? The art of storytelling, in all its facets, is something we celebrate. In this spirit, we accept projects on a limited basis and focus on one author at a time, so we can fully present their works.

March 2007Das Mittagsmahl
by Volker Braun, Baldwin Zettl
Das ist auf schmalem Raum die Kindheit des Autors. Ja, sieh nur zu, an Liebe sollst du mich nicht übertreffen: So warb sein Vater Erich um die Braut, und der Sohn geht ihm nach, in die warme Kammer, in den Panzergraben. Er/ich ist die Person, nach der er fahndet; »ich bin es, der sein Leben wagt«. In diesem Leben hatte man zu kämpfen, und Volker Braun zeigt ergreifend das Kampfgeschehen, in das absurderweise Vater und Mutter gestellt sind. Beim Mittagsmahl erreicht die Mutter und die fünf Söhne die Nachricht, daß der Vater gefallen sei, »wie das Sterben im Krieg heißt«. Zeitlebens warf sie sich vor, daß sie ihn gehen gelassen hat. 50 Jahre später erlebt sie ein unverhofftes Wiedersehen, im Traum; und plötzlich stand ihr das ganze Rätsel vor Augen, das ihr Leben war: daß sie so herzlich am Tisch gesessen und Blut in der Suppe gewesen war. Volker Braun unternimmt es, vom »Schönsten und Schrecklichsten«, von deutscher Geschichte zu schreiben. Die Werke des Leipziger Kupferstechers Baldwin Zettl, geboren 1943, beeindrucken durch ihre handwerkliche Präzision und artifizielle Meisterschaft.

October 2009Werktage I
Arbeitsbuch 1977-1989
by Volker Braun
Unbekanntes, hoch Wichtiges ist zu vermelden. Volker Braun hat, beginnend im Januar 1977, bis in die Gegenwart ein Werktagebuch geführt. Dessen erster Band, teils kurze, teils längere Notate, erlaubt nicht allein den erhellenden Einblick in die Werkstatt des »lauteren, spielwütigen Autors«. Solche Mitschriften des täglichen Lebens machen erfahrbar, wie Volker Braun sich und seine Arbeit, die Kollegen und die politische Situation – in Ost und West – sieht. Und seine Beobachtungen, mal giftig, mal ironisch, Reflexionen und Erzählungen zeigen erneut die Kunst dieses Dramatikers, Lyrikers und Prosaisten: Mit jedem Satz von ihm steigert er humoristisch-traurig die Einsicht in die Verbesserungswürdigkeit und Verbesserungsnotwendigkeit unserer Lage. In diesem Lebens-, Lese- und Arbeitsbuch ist also zu erfahren, wie Volker Braun nach der Publikation der Unvollendeten Geschichte – 1975 in der DDR, 1977 in der BRD – seine Dramen zum Druck befördert und auf die Bühne bringt, wie er listig den Hinze-und Kunze-Roman zuerst in Frankfurt und dann in Halle veröffentlicht, was die im Westen so alles mit ihm anstellen, warum er 1988 das Stück Lenins Tod schreibt, und im Jahr 1989 der erste Band seiner Werkausgabe erscheint.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2026David, Donne, and Thirsty Deer
Selected Essays of Anne Lake Prescott
by Anne Lake Prescott, Roger Kuin, William A. Oram
For nearly half a century Anne Lake Prescott has been a force and an inspiration in Renaissance studies. A force, because of her unique blend of learning and wit and an inspiration through her tireless encouragement of younger scholars and students. Her passion has always been the invisible bridge across the Channel: the complex of relations, literary and political, between Britain and France. The essays in this long-awaited collection range from Edmund Spenser to John Donne, from Clément Marot to Pierre de Ronsard. Prescott has a particular fondness for King David, who appears several times; and the reader will encounter chessmen, bishops, male lesbian voices and Roman whores. Always Prescott's immense erudition is accompanied by a sly and gentle wit that invites readers to share her amusement. Reading her is a joyful education.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2018David and Bathsheba
By George Peele
by Mathew R. Martin, David Bevington
David and Bathsheba presents a modernised edition of George Peele's explosive biblical drama about the tangled lives, deadly liaisons, and twisted histories of Ancient Israel's royal family. Martin's critical edition is the first modern single-volume edition of the play since 1912 and opens up this unduly neglected gem of English Renaissance drama to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the play's treatment of its biblical and poetic sources, its engagement with Elizabethan politics, and its forceful representations of religious fanaticism, genocide, and sexual violence. Its commentary notes clarify the text's meaning and staging, guide the reader through the play's dramatisation of the turbulent Davidic period of Ancient Israel's history, and place the play in its broader cultural and artistic milieu. Martin's edition aims to encourage new contemporary critical study of Peele's powerful and disturbing drama.

Literature & Literary StudiesApril 2026Zadie Smith
New perspectives
by Nurten Birlik, Noémi Albert
Zadie Smith's fiction reimagines subjectivity, relationality, and the conditions of contemporary life. This book offers a timely reassessment of her work, addressing identity, urban experience, and the category of the human. Moving beyond postcolonial and multiculturalist readings, it brings psychoanalytic, historical, symptomatic, and cultural materialist perspectives to bear across her novels, stories, essays, and plays. The collection explores how Smith's characters, shaped by diverse backgrounds and settings, challenge fixed ideas of Britishness and personhood. It argues that her writing opens up a new ontological space-defined by fluid identities, shifting subjectivities, and evolving forms of relationality. By reconsidering both the human and the spatial in Smith's work, the book makes a valuable contribution to contemporary literary criticism and to current thinking on narrative, identity, and urban life.

David Simon's American City
by Mikkel Jensen
This book examines the television serials created by influential showrunner David Simon. The book argues that Simon's main theme is the state of the contemporary American city and that all of his serials (barring one about the Iraq War) explore different facets of the metropolis. Each series offers distinctly different visions of the American city, but taken together they represent a sustained and intricate exploration of urban problems in modern America. From deindustrialisation in The Wire and residential segregation in Show Me a Hero to post-Katrina New Orleans in Treme and the transformation of the urban core in The Deuce, David Simon's American city traces the urban through-line in Simon's body of work. Based on sustained analysis of these serials and their engagement with contemporary politics and culture, David Simon's American city offers a compelling examination of one of television's most arresting voices.

Made in France
Societal structures and political work
by Andy Smith
How has French society been made, by whom and why? And how in turn has it influenced the French? This book sets out the institutionalized rules and norms that continue to structure France, together with the 'political work' that has recently changed or reproduced these power relations. Exploring a range of age groups and types of social activity, including work, business, entertainment, political mobilizations and retirement, Made in France examines where significant change has occurred over the last four decades. Smith argues that while transformation has occurred in France's financial and education sectors, only relatively marginal shifts have occurred elsewhere in French society. To explain this pattern of continuity and isolated change, the book strongly nuances claims that neo-liberalism, globalization or a rise in populism have been its causes. References to these trends have impacted upon French politics to varying extents, Smith argues; however, France continues to be dominated by issues which are specific to the country and linked to its deep societal structures and history. Smith provides a comprehensive account of French society and politics and in doing so proposes an insightful analytical framework applicable to the comparative analysis of other nations.
