Roman
by P. G. Wodehouse, Wolfgang Schlachter, Evelyn Waugh
Wer Wodehouse bisher noch nicht kennt oder nur in den alten übersetzungen, der hat jetzt Gelegenheit, den exzentrischen Meister des englischen Humors neu zu entdecken.»Mit Wodehouse steht man immer auf der richtigen Seite. Bei ihm siegt Jung gegen Alt, Neffen und Nichten lehnen sich gegen dominante Onkel und Tanten auf, Liebende kriegen sich am Ende doch, Erbschleicher gehen leer aus, die Obrigkeit macht sich lächerlich, Gefangene entwischen. Die Aristokraten sind ignorant, die Verwandten furchteinflößend, die Dienstmädchen gewitzt, die Butler umfassend gebildet, die Schriftsteller ausgekocht, die Mädchen hübsch und die Burschen heiratswillige Hornochsen. Dazu scheint die Sonne und alle trinken einen über den Durst. Eine perfekte Welt.« Felicitas von Lovenberg, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2025Wildly different
How five women reclaimed nature in a man’s world
by Sarah Lonsdale
The globe-trotting tales of five women who fought for the right to enjoy the wild places of the earth. For millennia the 'wild' was a place heroic men went on epic quests. Women were prevented from joining them, either through physical control or powerful myths about what would happen if they ventured beyond the city wall or village boundary. So how did women claim their place in the remote and lovely parts of our planet? In Wildly different, historian Sarah Lonsdale traces the lives of five women who fought for the right to work in, enjoy and help to save the earth's wild places. We'll meet Mina Hubbard, who outraged the exploration community when she stepped into a canoe in northern Labrador. Evelyn Cheesman, who became the first female keeper of insects at London Zoo. Dorothy Pilley, who shocked polite society by donning men's climbing breeches. Ethel Haythornthwaite, who helped make the Peak District Britain's first National Park. And Wangari Maathai, who started a movement to plant millions of trees across sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on interviews with Sir David Attenborough, Wangari Maathai's daughter and others, Lonsdale recounts the women's adventures across five continents. Evocative and inspiring, this book shows how women can be 'wildly different'.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2010Child, nation, race and empire
Child rescue discourse, England, Canada and Australia, 1850–1915
by Margot Hillel, Shurlee Swain, Andrew Thompson, John 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. ;

September 2002Ins Ohr
Erzählung
by Evelyn Grill
»Zu unserem 20. Hochzeitstag hatte mich mein Mann zu einem feinen Abendessen eingeladen. Als mein Mann das Glas erhob und sagte: ›Ich nehme die heutige Gelegenheit wahr, dir zu sagen, was ich bisher nur im stillen mit mir herumgetragen habe. Ich habe die Absicht, mich von dir zu trennen. Deshalb möchte ich mit dir auf die Jahre anstoßen, die noch vor uns liegen und die wir getrennt voneinander verbringen werden‹, glaubte ich, daß es sich dabei nur um einen schlechten Scherz handeln konnte und lachte etwas forciert.«Ein grausamer Einschnitt im Leben der 52jährigen Elfriede Schweiger, Mutter eines erwachsenen Sohnes – und eine Chance. Die Verlassene studiert Jura und eröffnet eine eigene Kanzlei, aus der Hausfrau wird eine Karrierefrau. Aber neue Männer treten in ihr Leben und damit neue Probleme. Ins Ohr ist das Protokoll einer Frau im Umbruch und im Aufbruch. Evelyn Grill legt die seelischen und körperlichen Befindlichkeiten dieser Frau frei. Beschreibt Momente von Hoffnung, Enttäuschung, Verliebtheit, Selbstzweifel, Größenwahn. Zeichnet das Diagramm einer Frau in den besten Jahren.
