        So exotic, so homemade

        Surrealism, Englishness and documentary photography

        by Ian Walker, John Taylor

        In his previous book City Gorged with Dreams (2002), Ian Walker challenged established ideas about Surrealist photography by emphasising the key role played by documentary photographs in Parisian Surrealism. Now Walker turns his attention to the arrival of Surrealism in England in 1936. Examining for the first time the surprising relationship between Surrealism and English documentary photography and film, the book shows that some of the most interesting work of the period was made in the ambiguous spaces between them. One of the key themes in this book is the relationship between the 'homely' and the 'exotic', in the innovative mix of poetry and ethnography in Mass-Observation for example, or the shadowed England constructed in the work of Bill Brandt. Based on extensive archival research, interviews and visits to sites where the photographs were made, this book is rich in detailed analysis yet written in an accessible and often witty style. ;

        Liebe in Ruinen

        Die Abenteuer eines schlechten Katholiken kurz vor dem Ende der Welt

        by Walker Percy, Hanna Muschg-Johansen

        Louisiana im Süden Amerikas, 1983. Dr. Thomas More, ein später Nachkomme des Heiligen, ein neurotischer Arzt und Alkoholiker, der sich als schlechten Katholiken bezeichnet, lebt mit drei schönen Frauen in der Vorstadt Paradise, wo er das Ende der Welt erwartet. More glaubt, die seelischen Leiden seiner Mitmenschen und damit auch das Unheil aufhalten zu können: als ein später Descartes erfand More den »qualitativquantitativen ontologischen Lapsometer«, mit dessen Hilfe er die Zonen des physischen Gleichgewichts im Hirn isolieren und mischen kann, der den jeweiligen Grad der Entfremdung des Menschen von sich selbst feststellt. Nur eines gelang ihm bisher nicht: das Instrument mit seinen diagnostischen Fähigkeiten für Heilzwecke zu vervollkommnen. Im Augenblick größter Ratlosigkeit erscheint ihm Art Immelmann – Mephistopheles der Endzeit.

Fuzzy has a sweet tooth and chows and chows, tears up his present, and would prefer to keep the treasure for himself.  "Don't spill and make a mess," Ria Rabbit admonishes. And Sami Sparrow says, "You can't have it all to yourself." The fox child begins to ponder. True, that wasn't nice at all. But there's one thing that Fuzzy is particularly good at: listening! And all the other animals can learn something from that, too. Important message for kindergarten: promoting social behavior Gender-neutral protagonist: appeals equally to boys and girls Charming story and lovable characters Extra-large flaps on every double page A new picture book by success team Sandra Grimm and Sabine Kraushaar (What's in your diaper?)
