Roman | Eine Enemies to Lovers-Romance in malerischer Küstenlandschaft
by Savannah Carlisle, Annette Hahn
Ein herzerwärmender Sommerroman voller Kleinstadt-Charme, Sehnsucht nach Meer und einer Liebe, die zwischen den Zeilen beginnt Lucy Sullivan liebt ihr Leben im malerischen Küstenort Heron Isle, Florida. Sie führt eine gemütliche Buchhandlung, spaziert täglich am Strand und pflegt mit Hingabe die Little Free Library. Dort können Leserinnen und Leser Bücher tauschen, und viele hinterlassen in den Romanen kleine, anynome Botschaften. Doch als Finanzexperte Logan Lancaster mit ehrgeizigen Expansionsplänen ins Dorf kommt, gerät Lucys Idylle ins Wanken. Sie ist mit seinen Vorschlägen überhaupt nicht einverstanden und beschließt, sich ihm für den Erhalt der traditionellen Hafenpromenade entgegenzustellen.

Children's & YAI Like You - Just Like That!
by Neele/ Marta Balmaseda
A poetic picture book that makes it easy to forget arguments and anger: the little elephant is in a bad mood and kicks a stone. The stone inadvertently hits the flamingo – and the complaining and annoyance just keeps spreading. By the river, in the bush, on the savannah: just like that! Until a little meerkat has had enough and just hugs the snarling leopard. The leopard’s heart becomes light and gradually all the animals notice how good it is when we’re nice to one another. Just like that!

October 2020Arno Schmidts Zettel's Traum. Ein Lesebuch
by Arno Schmidt, Bernd Rauschenbach, Susanne Fischer
1970 erschien Arno Schmidts lang erwartetes Hauptwerk Zettel’s Traum. Leser staunten – das Buch hatte über 1300 Seiten im DIN-A3-Format, wog 10 Kilo und war eine Reproduktion von Schmidts Schreibmaschinen-Skript mit handschriftlichen Korrekturen und Einfügungen. Eine unorthodoxe Zeichensetzung und die Abkehr von allen Rechtschreibregeln verstärkten den Eindruck, dass Zettel’s Traum ein unlesbares Buch sei. Trotzdem (oder gerade deswegen) wurde es bald ein Kultbuch und verkaufte sich in fünfzig Jahren etwa 25.000 Mal. Wie viele dieser Exemplare tatsächlich gelesen worden sind, weiß freilich niemand. Das Lesebuch zu Arno Schmidts Zettel's Traum stellt einzelne Szenen aus dem großen Werk zusammen, das halb Roman, halb literarischer Essay zu Werk und Leben Edgar Allan Poes ist. In Gesprächen und »längeren Gedankenspielen« der Protagonisten wird die Vielfalt der sprachlichen Töne von Zettel’s Traum sichtbar. Es geht um gegenseitige Zuneigungen und wechselseitige Spannungen, um verräterische Träume und unterdrückte Wünsche. Um dem Erstleser den Einstieg zu erleichtern, wurden die Aufteilung in drei Spalten und die zahllosen Marginalien bei dieser Auswahl weggelassen. Sie versammelt Kostproben für neugierige Leser, die sich an das Original bislang nicht herangetraut haben.

May 1963Don Juan oder Die Liebe zur Geometrie
Eine Komödie in fünf Akten
by Max Frisch
Max Frisch im Nachwort: »Don Juan ist ein Intellektueller wenn auch von gutem Wuchs und ohne alles Brillenhafte. Was ihn unwiderstehlich macht für die Damen von Sevilla ist durchaus seine Geistigkeit, sein Anspruch auf eine männliche Geistigkeit, die ein Affront ist, indem sie ganz andere Ziele kennt als die Frau und die Frau von vornherein al Episode einsetzt - mit dem bekannten Ergebnis freilich, daß die Episode schließlich sein ganzes Leben verschlingt.«
