Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2021Sara Paretsky
Detective fiction as trauma literature
by Cynthia Hamilton
Sara Paretsky is known for her influential V.I. Warshawski series, which transformed the masculine hard-boiled detective formula into a vehicle for feminist values. But Paretsky does more than this. Her novels also illustrate the extent to which detective fiction acts as a literature of trauma, allowing Paretsky to address the politics of agency in ways that go beyond the personal, for trauma always has a social and a political dimension. Paretsky's work also exploits the way detective fiction mirrors the writing of history. Here, Paretsky uses the form to expose the partiality of historical accounts - whether they be personal, institutional, or national - that authorise 'forgetting' of a particularly insidious kind. Significantly, all these issues are explored within the framework of the traditional hard-boiled detective novel. As a result, Paretsky's achievement forces us to acknowledge the deeply subversive potential of detective fiction.

2020Vitamin K
An old vitamin in a new light. Patient guide
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters
For many people, vitamin K is known only as the vitamin for blood clotting, but this is way off the mark! Science has discovered a lot of new information and nowadays it is known that in addition to its role in regulating blood clotting and the flow properties of the blood, vitamin K also promotes the health of bones and blood vessels, thus protecting against osteoporosis and arteriosclerosis. In addition, it supports a healthy glucose metabolism in diabetics and plays a role in the prevention and treatment of cancer. These are too many positive properties to leave them untapped. This patient guide informs the reader all about vitamin K

June 2014Sara und Serafina
Roman
by Dževad Karahasan, Barbara Antkowiak
Ein junges Paar soll mit Hilfe gefälschter Taufdokumente aus dem belagerten Sarajevo herausgebracht werden. Die Aktion scheitert. Die beteiligten Retter werden von Schuldgefühlen gequält. Serafina, die Mutter, kann den Verlust ihrer Tochter und die Zerstörung einer Liebe nicht ertragen und beschließt zu sterben. Knapp zwanzig Minuten liegen zwischen Anfang und Ende des Romans, doch die wie in einer Zeitspirale erzählte Geschichte reicht zurück bis ins Jahr 1942, als Serafina, die sich Sara nannte, ihrer jüdischen Freundin nach Auschwitz folgen wollte. Dževad Karahasan, der neben Ivo Andrić bedeutendste poetische Chronist Bosniens, hat Zauber und Tragik seiner Heimatstadt nie unerbittlicher dokumentiert als in diesem Buch.
