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!

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.«

January 2004Arno Schmidts Wundertüte
Eine Sammlung fiktiver Briefe aus den Jahren 1948/49
by Arno Schmidt, Bernd Rauschenbach, Bernd Rauschenbach
»Und versuchen Sie bitte nicht, meine Bekanntschaft zu machen; ich würde Sie äußerlich und auch im Auftreten enttäuschen; das Beste, was ich bin und habe, gebe ich Ihnen ohnedies ... in meinen Büchern.« Mit dieser Mahnung an den Leser beginnt Arno Schmidt seine Sammlung fiktiver Briefe, unter denen der furioseste sich an den unglücklichen Verfasser einer mißratenenen übersetzung von Poes Der Untergang des Hauses Usher richtet, der zarteste und dankbarste Johann Gottfried Schnabel, dem Autor der Insel Felsenburg, zugedacht ist und von der Erzählung Die Fremden gekrönt wird – und der knappste geht Klopstock zu, mit den lakonisch vernichtenden Worten: »Sehr geehrter Herr! Anbei den Messias zurück.Ihr Arno Schmidt.«Entstanden in den Jahren 1948 und 1949, erschien Arno Schmidts »zweites Buch« nach dem Leviathan erst 40 Jahre später, als Erstveröffentlichung aus dem Nachlaß.Zum 90. Geburtstag des Autors am 18. Januar 2004 liegt im suhrkamp taschenbuch mit Arno Schmidts Wundertüte ein eigenwilliges, kurioses, überaus witziges Buch für Liebhaber seines Werks, aber auch für Einsteiger vor.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2023Republican passions
Family, friendship and politics in nineteenth-century France
by Susan K. Foley
Republican passions demonstrates the crucial role of family and friendship networks in the creation of the French Third Republic. Based on the family archives of Léon Laurent-Pichat, journalist, Deputy and Life Senator, this study paints a rich picture of republican intimacy, sociability and political activity during the Second Empire and early Third Republic. It explores republican friendships and family connections as men and women worked together for the cause. In republican circles, as the book illustrates, the intimate and political realms were not separate but deeply intertwined and interdependent.

January 2024Leviathan oder Die Beste der Welten. Gadir oder Erkenne dich selbst. Enthymesis oder W.I.E.H..
Erzählungen
by Arno Schmidt
Arno Schmidts Debüt erregte 1949 Aufsehen: Mit großer Sprachmacht präsentiert sich ein unbekannter Autor, der sich nicht scheut, über den Krieg zu schreiben. In der Titelerzählung Leviathan treiben die letzten Kriegstage eine Schar Verlorener in einem Güterwaggon zusammen. Die einen glauben noch an einen rettenden Gott, die anderen an die Fügung des Schicksals. Die Flucht vor der Front endet aussichtslos auf einer zerstörten Brücke. Die verzweifelten Versuche, aus der bösartigen Welt der Menschen zu entkommen, prägen auch die beiden anderen Stücke des Bandes, Gadir und Enthymesis. Der eine träumt sich aus dem Gefängnis, der andere imaginiert die Welt als eine grenzenlose Fläche - doch welcher Weg, wenn nicht der über Selbsterkenntnis, führt tatsächlich in die Freiheit?
