March 2018Alle meine Freunde haben wen umgebracht
Stories
by Curtis Dawkins, Hannes Meyer
Curtis Dawkins schreibt aus ungewöhnlicher Perspektive. Den Weg des Schriftstellers hatte er eingeschlagen, in namhaften Magazinen veröffentlicht, geheiratet, drei Kinder bekommen. Dann tötete er auf Crack einen Mann. Jetzt sitzt er lebenslänglich im Knast. Und dort schreibt er Literatur, die taumeln lässt. Zwischen Härte und Schönheit, zwischen Gut und Böse, zwischen Liebe und Hass. Dieses Buch ist die kraftvolle literarische Anverwandlung eines Schicksals, es erzählt von Männern hinter Gittern und ihren Versuchen, etwas von dem zurückzugewinnen, was unwiderruflich verloren ist. Es spricht von Freiheit, Liebe und Familie aus der Sicht derer, die ihr Recht darauf verwirkt haben. Curtis Dawkins findet dafür eine massive Sprache, einen Sound voller Sehnsucht, Humor und Tragik. Alle meine Freunde haben wen umgebracht wird so zu einem neuen und streitbaren Meisterwerk amerikanischen Erzählens.

Individual composers & musicians, specific bands & groupsOctober 2010The Beethoven song companion
by Paul Reid
This is the first full-length, published study of Beethoven's songs. All the composer's songs with piano are included, with full German texts and translations, together with comprehensive notes on the poetry and the music. The inclusion of unfinished songs gives a fascinating insight into Beethoven's compositional methods. An introductory essay considers reasons for the relative neglect of the songs, the significance of Beethoven's choice of texts, his crucial role in the development of German art-song and specific aspects such as choice of key. Throughout the book, poetic and musical texts are discussed in their historical context, and in the overall context of Beethoven's life and music. It is anticipated that this book, like its predecessor The Schubert Song Companion, will encourage the performance and study of an important but comparatively neglected aspect of the work of the world's most celebrated composer.

February 2022Ice Song
by Miriam Körner
In Miriam Körners "Ice Song" wird die Geschichte der 15-jährigen Emmylou entfaltet, die zunächst widerwillig in Churchill, Kanada, ankommt. Als Ort, der für seine Nähe zu Eisbären bekannt ist, bietet Churchill eine karge und eiskalte Umgebung, die Emmylou zunächst fremd ist. Ihre Sichtweise beginnt sich zu ändern, als sie Barnabas, einen jungen Inuk, trifft, der intensiv seine Schlittenhunde auf das anspruchsvolle Arctic Quest, ein herausforderndes Schlittenhunderennen, vorbereitet. Die Begegnung mit einem bezaubernden Welpen aus dem Rudel weckt nicht nur ihre Zuneigung für die Tiere, sondern auch tiefergehende Gefühle. Der Roman kombiniert Elemente der Romance mit dem aufregenden Kontext des Schlittenhundrennens und bietet Einblicke in die Kultur der Inuit. Durch Körners authentische Darstellung der arktischen Landschaft und die Verwendung ihrer persönlichen Erfahrungen, entsteht eine packende Lektüre, die sowohl bildend als auch unterhaltsam ist. Authentische Darstellung: Bietet fundierte Einblicke in die Inuit-Kultur und das Schlittenhunderennen, angereichert durch die realen Erfahrungen der Autorin. Fesselnde Handlung mit Romance: Verbindet das Abenteuer in der Arktis mit einer jugendlichen Liebesgeschichte, ideal für Leser*innen ab 12 Jahren.

A savage song
Racist violence and armed resistance in the early twentieth-century U.S.–Mexico Borderlands
by Margarita Aragon
This book examines key moments in which collective and state violence invigorated racialized social boundaries around Mexican and African Americans in the United States, and in which they violently contested them. Bringing anti-Mexican violence into a common analytical framework with anti-black violence, A savage song examines several focal points in this oft-ignored history, including the 1915 rebellion of ethnic Mexicans in South Texas, and its brutal repression by the Texas Rangers and the 1917 mutiny of black soldiers of the 24th Infantry Regiment in Houston, Texas, in response to police brutality. Aragon considers both the continuities and stark contrasts across these different moments: how were racialized constructions of masculinity differently employed? How did African and Mexican American men, including those in uniform, respond to the violence of racism? And how was their resistance, including their claims to manhood and nation, understood by law enforcement, politicians, and the press? Building on extensive archival research, the book examines how African and Mexican American men have been constructed as 'racial problems', investigating, in particular, their relationship with law enforcement and ideas about black and Mexican criminality.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013Late Merovingian France
by Paul Fouracre, Richard A. Gerberding
This collection of documents in translation brings together the seminal sources for the late Merovingian Frankish kingdom. It inteprets the chronicles and saint's lives rigorously to reveal new insights into the nature and significance of sanctity, power and power relationships. The book makes available a range of 7th- and early 8th-century texts, five of which have never before been translated into English. It opens with a broad-ranging explanation of the historical background to the translated texts and then each source is accompanied by a full commentary and an introductory essay exploring its authorship, language and subject matter. The sources are rich in the detail of Merovingian political life. Their subjects are the powerful in society and they reveal the successful interplay between power and sanctity, a process which came to underpin much of European culture throughout the early Middle Ages.
