      • Paper Crane Agency

        A key source for ​international publishers looking for new titles from Japan, ​we facilitate collaborations ​with Japanese authors, illustrators and publishers.   We also assist publishers who are licensing Japanese content with translation, adaptation and localization to make publishing Japanese books in translation as easy as possible.   In Japan, the crane is a symbol of good fortune, happiness and longevity. Origami folded paper cranes are often given as an expression of good wishes and peace.    ​At Paper Crane, we hope that all the titles we present or create – our “good wishes” from Japan – will bring enjoyment to readers of all ages, wherever they are in the world.

        The picture politics of Sir Francis Carruthers Gould

        Britain's pioneering political cartoonist

        by Mark Bryant

        This is the first major study of Britain's pioneering graphic satirist, Sir Francis Carruthers Gould (1844-1925), the first staff political cartoonist on a daily newspaper in Britain, and the first of his kind to be knighted. Written by the distinguished media historian, Colin Seymour-Ure, it is essential reading for anyone interested in cartoons, caricature and illustration and will also be welcomed by students of history, politics and the media. It examines Gould's career in Fleet Street until his retirement after the First World War. It also discusses his illustrations for magazines and books and there is an analysis of his use of symbolism and literary allusion to lampoon such eminent politicians as Gladstone and Joseph Chamberlain. As Lord Baker says in his Foreword, this book is 'a major contribution to our knowledge of British cartooning.'

        The love of books

        Attachment to a changing cultural object

        by María Angélica Thumala Olave

        The Love of Books examines the affective bond between people and books in the UK. In the context of the unprecedented abundance of media offering information, storytelling and entertainment, it investigates the attachment to print and digital books amongst readers from a range of backgrounds who read for pleasure, wish to be surrounded by print copies of books, and have trouble discarding books. Unlike existing research, which focuses on prestige, social status, and cultural capital, this study centres on meaning, materiality and emotion. Drawing on interviews and archive material, it shows how attachment emerges from the practical fusion of three elements that have so far been examined separately: the material, surface properties of books, the act of reading, and books' symbolic power.

        Gedichte

        1938-1944

        by Paul Celan, Ruth Kraft

        »Als ich Paul Celan im Sommer 1940 in Czernowitz kennenlernte, brachte er mir, sehr bald danach, einige seiner Gedichte. Er sprach nicht über sie. Während ich sie las, achtete er genau auf den Ausdruck in meinem Gesicht. Er merkte, daß sie mir gefielen. So wurden wir Freunde«, schreibt Ruth Kraft im Vorwort zu dieser Sammlung der frühen Gedichte, die Celan ihr 1944 überreichte. »Wind der Welt im Sternenkleid,/ bring der Dunkelheit Bescheid.«
