        Der Hunger

        by Martín Caparrós

        Alle zwölf Sekunden stirbt irgendwo auf der Welt ein Kind unter fünf Jahren an den Folgen von Unterernährung. Das sind drei Millionen Kinder im Jahr. Insgesamt knapp neun Millionen Menschen. Jedes Jahr. Wir wissen das, wir kennen die Zahlen. Der Hunger ist, so heißt es, das größte lösbare Problem der Welt. Eine Lösung ist allerdings nicht in Sicht. Und das ist eine Schande. Fünf Jahre hat Martín Caparrós den ganzen Globus bereist, um diese Schande zu kartografieren: Er war in Niger, wo der Hunger so aussieht, wie wir ihn uns vorstellen; in Indien, wo mehr Menschen hungern als in jedem anderen Land; in den USA, wo jeder Sechste Probleme hat, sich ausreichend zu ernähren, während jeder Dritte unter Fettleibigkeit leidet; in Argentinien, wo Nahrungsmittel für 300 Millionen Menschen produziert werden, obwohl sich viele Bürger kein Fleisch mehr leisten können. Am Ende dieser Reise steht ein einzigartiges Buch: Großreportage, Geschichtsschreibung und wütendes Manifest.

        Michaelmas Term

        Thomas Middleton

        by David Bevington, Gail Paster, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich, Hazel Bell

        Michaelmas Term is one of five satiric city comedies that the young playwright Thomas Middleton wrote for the boy players of St Paul's Cathedral, sometime before 1607. Set in a vividly detailed, realistic urban milieu at the start of London's social season, the play comes alive through the central contest between Ephestian Quomodo, an ambitious, land-hungry city merchant, and Richard Easy, a naive landowning gallant just arrived in the city. Easy is soon deep in debt and his struggle to recoup his debts and reclaim his land from Quomodo takes places against a sharply drawn set of London types - Quomodo's socially and sexually ambitious wife and daughter, the Scottish upstart Andrew Lethe, and his mistress the Country Wench, eager to exchange her virginity for an elegant new wardrobe. With its witty, bawdy dialogue and complex gulling action, the play offers an unusually cynical assessment of the social and familial displacements, and of the alienation and loss of cultural memory, so characteristic of life in the great metropolis of early modern London. In this sense, the play is an early satiric diagnosis of urban modernity. This edition, newly collated and edited, features complete explanations of the play's often bawdy exchanges and the complex stage action of the gulling and secondary plots. It will be invaluable for advanced students of the Middleton canon as well as all those interested in early modern London and its vibrant theatrical culture, especially the tradition of boy choristers as professional actors. ;

        Unter den Linden

        by Christa Wolf

        „Unter den Linden bin ich immer gerne gegangen. Am liebsten, du weißt es, allein. Neulich, nachdem ich sie lange gemieden hatte, ist mir die Straße im Traum erschienen. Nun kann ich endlich davon berichten.“ In Christa Wolfs großer Erzählung führt der Gang über Berlins Prachtstraße eine Frau durch die eigene Erinnerung – an eine leidenschaftliche Liebe und den Kampf darum, sich nicht selbst zu verlieren. Der Maler Harald Metzkes stellt der Erzählung neue, eigens für die vorliegende Ausgabe geschaffene Aquarelle zur Seite. Das Werk von Christa Wolf wurde mit zahlreichen Preisen ausgezeichnet, u. a. dem Georg-Büchner-Preis und dem Thomas-Mann-Preis. Zuletzt erschien der große autobiographische Roman »Stadt der Engel oder The Overcoat of Dr. Freud« (2010).

        David, Donne and Thirsty Deer

        Selected Essays of Anne Lake Prescott

        by Anne Lake Prescott, Roger Kuin, William A. Oram

        For nearly half a century Anne Lake Prescott has been a force and an inspiration in Renaissance studies. A force, because of her unique blend of learning and wit and an inspiration through her tireless encouragement of younger scholars and students. Her passion has always been the invisible bridge across the Channel: the complex of relations, literary and political, between Britain and France. The essays in this long-awaited collection range from Edmund Spenser to John Donne, from Clément Marot to Pierre de Ronsard. Prescott has a particular fondness for King David, who appears several times; and the reader will encounter chessmen, bishops, male lesbian voices and Roman whores. Always Prescott's immense erudition is accompanied by a sly and gentle wit that invites readers to share her amusement. Reading her is a joyful education.

        Ginkgo

        Der Baum des Lebens. Ein Lesebuch

        by Felicitas Bovis

        Über die Zeiten und Kulturen hinweg hat der Ginkgo die Menschen in seinen Bann gezogen – als Symbol für Liebe, Hoffnung und Frieden. Insbesondere durch die Form des geteilten Blattes wurde er zum Sinnbild des dialektischen Yin und Yang, des weiblichen und männlichen Prinzips, von Leben und Tod. Goethe inspirierte er zu seinem berühmten Gedicht »Ginkgo biloba« – seitdem ist der Ginkgo auch in der westlichen Literatur ein immer wiederkehrendes Motiv. Dieser Band versammelt die schönsten Texte über diesen berühmten Baum: Märchen und Haikus aus Japan und China, Texte und Gedichte von Siegfried Unseld, Günter Eich, Peter Härtling, Felix Pollak und vielen anderen.
