I'm representing modern Israeli Russian-speaking writer Jonathan Vidgop. This author's first book was granted fund of Israeli president and received recognition in Israel in 1999. The author writes rarely. There are two very different books offered. One, a result of 20 years of collecting historical material, is a collection of more than 100 very funny short stories of sexuality and attitude to Jews of famous personalities of different countries and times. The other book, very recent, is a a grotesque phantasmagoria, novel "Testimony", whose style, if any, can be compared to Susskind's Perfume. See description of the books below.

January 2019Befreiungsschlag
by Gemmel, Stefan; Zissener, Uwe
Damit hatte Maik nicht gerechnet. Geprügelt hat er sich schon oft, immer folgenlos, aber nun wurde er zu einer Jugendstrafe auf Bewährung verurteilt. Er hat die Wahl: Knast oder ein Anti-Gewalt-Training. Klar, dass Maik solch ein Training für völlig überflüssig hält, auf Psychogeschwätz kann er verzichten. Doch weil das Training besser ist als Gefängnis, willigt er ein und macht erstaunliche Erfahrungen. Seine Umwelt und vor allem seine Freundin Julia beginnen gerade, ihn mit anderen Augen zu betrachten, da droht der Rausch der Spielkonsole ihn vom Weg abzubringen …

Literature & Literary StudiesFebruary 2023Imagining the Irish child
Discourses of childhood in Irish Anglican writing of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
by Jarlath Killeen
This book examines the ways in which ideas about children, childhood and Ireland changed together in Irish Protestant writing of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It focuses on different varieties of the child found in the work of a range of Irish Protestant writers, theologians, philosophers, educationalists, politicians and parents from the early seventeenth century up to the outbreak of the 1798 Rebellion. The book is structured around a detailed examination of six 'versions' of the child: the evil child, the vulnerable/innocent child, the political child, the believing child, the enlightened child, and the freakish child. It traces these versions across a wide range of genres (fiction, sermons, political pamphlets, letters, educational treatises, histories, catechisms and children's bibles), showing how concepts of childhood related to debates about Irish nationality, politics and history across these two centuries.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Child, nation, race and empire
Child rescue discourse, England, Canada and Australia, 1850–1915
by Margot Hillel, Shurlee Swain, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
Child, nation, race and empire is an innovative, inter-disciplinary, cross cultural study that contributes to understandings of both contemporary child welfare practices and the complex dynamics of empire. It analyses the construction and transmission of nineteenth-century British child rescue ideology. Locating the origins of contemporary practice in the publications of the prominent English Child rescuers, Dr Barnardo, Thomas Bowman Stephenson, Benjamin Waugh, Edward de Montjoie Rudolf and their colonial disciples and literature written for children, it shows how the vulnerable body of the child at risk came to be reconstituted as central to the survival of nation, race and empire. Yet, as the shocking testimony before the many official enquiries into the past treatment of children in out-of-home 'care' held in Britain, Ireland, Australia and Canada make clear, there was no guarantee that the rescued child would be protected from further harm.

Film theory & criticismOctober 2013The child in Spanish cinema
by Sarah Wright
In this, the first full-length treatment of the child in Spanish cinema, Sarah Wright explores the ways that the cinematic child comes to represent 'prosthetic memory'. The central theme of the child and the monster is used to examine the relationship of the self to the past, and to cinema. Concentrating on films from the 1950s to the present day, the book explores religious films, musicals, 'art-house horror', science-fiction, social realism and fantasy. It includes reference to Erice's The Spirit of The Beehive, del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, Mañas's El Bola and the Marisol films. The book also draws on a century of filmmaking in Spain and intersects with recent revelations concerning the horrors of the Spanish past. The child is a potent motif for the loss of historical memory and for its recuperation through cinema. This book is suitable for scholars and undergraduates working in the areas of Spanish cinema, Spanish cultural studies and cinema studies.

Kid Normal / Kid Normal (2). Die Schurken sind los!
by James, Greg; Smith, Chris
Murphs Leben als Normalo-Superheld ist aufregend - und voller Fragen: Bekommt er jetzt ein Heldenkostüm? Einen Gürtel mit coolen Waffen? Oder zumindest einen Butler, der Ratschläge erteilt, wenn ihm das Heldendasein mal über den Kopf wächst? Inzwischen kennen Murph und die Supernullen die Antworten auf all diese Fragen. Sie lauten - in beliebiger Reihenfolge - nein, nein und nein. Als sich tief unter dem Gefängnis für abtrünnige Superhelden etwas Unheilvolles zusammenbraut, müssen die Supernullen ihre mehr oder weniger brauchbaren Kräfte vereinen. Denn die Elster, der größte Schurke, den die Welt je gesehen hat, verlangt nur eines: „Bringt mir Kid Normal!"

Social workFebruary 2013Children’s rights and child protection
Critical times, critical issues in Ireland
by Edited by Deborah Lynch and Kenneth Burns
This topical book, now available in paperback, comprehensively draws together diverse perspectives from key leaders in the field to address critical issues for children in relation to their rights, welfare and protection at a critical time in Ireland. The broad array of chapters addresses the changing and complex landscape of policy, practice and law. It discusses the politics of children's rights, the impact of child abuse within the Catholic Church, diverse approaches to service delivery and professional practice, the media and representations of child protection practice and the relationship between research evidence and practice. It offers a critique of governance in children's services and identifies key barriers to fundamental progress in the area of children's rights and the protection of children. This original book fills a gap in publications in this area in Ireland. It is vital reading for academics, practitioners, managers, students and policy-makers, as well as being accessible to individuals with a broad interest in child welfare and protection.
