View Rights PortalThe German Cultural Forum for Central and Eastern Europe publishes richly illustrated non-fiction books about the cultural history of those areas of Central and Eastern Europe where Germans used to, or still do live. The carefully edited titles with elaborated appendices are written by well-known experts who are able to present information about Central and Eastern Europe in an attractive way by cultural travel guides or historical overview books. The Cultural Forum also edits an annual and a bimonthly magazine, Blickwechsel ("Change of perspective") and Kulturkorrespondenz östliches Europa ("Cultural Correspondence Central and Eastern Europe"). Furthermore, the Forum organizes popular lectures, discussions, readings, exhibitions, concerts, journalist trips, writer residencies and prize-givings.
View Rights PortalThe first book-length study of one of Britain's most successful young writers. His work in a range of genres, from drama to film, fiction and short stories, has elicited widespread critical acclaim and - at times - provoked sharp condemnation. Provides a detailed account of his work to date, from Kureishi's early involvement in 'fringe' theatre (an area generally ignored hitherto), to the short story collections. Locates Kureishi's work securely in its historical, social, cultural and critical contexts, as well as providing detailed readings of all the major works. Kureishi is an important writer due to his intervention into such modish topics as British identity, questions of race, aspects of gender and choice of genre. ;

Explores some of the key venues of black British literary and cultural production across the postwar period: bedsits and basements; streets and cafes; train stations and tourist landscapes; the suburbs and the city; the north and south. Pursues a 'devolving' landscape in order to consider what an analysis of 'dwelling' might contribute to the travelling theories of diaspora discourse and asks what happens when we 'situate' literatures of movement and migration. Offers fresh readings of work by some of the key literary figures of the postwar years, for example, Salman Rushdie, Hanif Kureishi, Meera Syal, Linton Kwesi Johnson. Contextualises writings alongside photography, painting, and film to consider their relationship to broader shifts in the politics of black representation over the past fifty years. Offers sustained anaysis of many of the texts reproduced in Procter's anthology Writing black Britain 1948-98 ( MUP, 2000) making an ideal companion to the earlier book. ;

Ein bewegendes Memoir über einen der bedeutendsten Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts: Autor und Kritiker Peter Henning gewährt uns einen intimen Einblick in seine tiefe Verbundenheit mit dem Kölner Autor Dieter Wellershoff. Wellershoff, zeitlebens bekannt für sein Einzelgängertum und seine Liebe für die Abgeschiedenheit seines Arbeitszimmers, schloss im hohen Alter überraschend noch enge Freundschaft mit dem jüngeren Schriftsteller Peter Henning. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit entstand zwischen den beiden eine tiefe geistige Verbindung, die Peter Henning heute, acht Jahre nach Wellershoffs Tod, als die Geschichte einer Wahlverwandtschaft beschreibt. In ebenso persönlichen wie eindrücklichen Schilderungen lässt Peter Henning uns an seiner Beziehung zu Wellershoff teilhaben, der für ihn Mentor, Berater und väterlicher Freund war. Ein Muss für alle, die das Leben und Werk dieses außergewöhnlichen Menschen und Schriftstellers neu entdecken wollen.
