April 2008Das Haus der Angst
by Leonora Carrington, Edmund Jacoby, Heribert Becker, Christiane Meyer-Thoss
"Wo kommen auf einmal diese beiden sonderbaren Gestalten her, die langsam die Straße entlanggehen, gefolgt von tausend Zwergen? Ist das der Mann, den man wegen seiner sanften und grimmigen Gemütsart Loplop, den obersten der Vögel, nennt? ... Und die Frau, um deren Oberarm sich eine dünne Blutspur windet – sollte das etwas die Windsbraut sein?" So fragt Max Ernst in seiner Einleitung zur Titelgeschichte dieses 1988 von der "Windsbraut" zusammengestellten Bandes, der fünf weitere Erzählungen und zwei Romane ("Der kleine Francis" und "Unten") enthält. Leonora Carrington (geboren 1917) entfloh früh dem großbürgerlichen Milieu, um mit Max Ernst, "Loplop", nach Paris und dann weiter nach Südfrankreich zu ziehen. Ihr Schlüsselroman "Der kleine Francis" (hier zum ersten Mal auf deutsch) schildert, phantastisch verkleidet, die Erlebnisse des Sommers 1937 im provenzalischen Saint-Martin-d’Ardèche. Max Ernst wurde nach Ausbruch des Krieges interniert. Als Carringtons Befreiungsbemühungen fehlschlugen, floh sie nach Spanien. Unterwegs wurde sie wahnsinnig. Unten, ihr berühmter Bericht, beschreibt den Abstieg in das Reich des Wahns und wie sie ihm unter Aufbietung aller Willenskräfte entkam – und endet mit einem Postskriptum aus dem Jahr 1987. Da wohnte Leonora Carrington, die Malerin, Autorin, Surrealistin, schon seit vielen Jahren, hochberühmt und kaum erreichbar, in Mexiko.

(Tephritidae: Dacinae)
by Richard A I Drew, Meredith C Romig
Fruit flies are a major issue facing horticultural producers, and as global warming and species migration become more prevalent issues there is an urgent need for easy identification of these pests. A companion volume to the recently published “Tropical Fruit Flies of South-East Asia (Tephritidae: Dacinae)”, this book provides fully-illustrated keys for the identification of all currently-known Dacinae fruit flies. Focusing on south-east Asian fauna, it covers areas including India, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, China, Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, Palau, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. This major new reference work is produced by experts with over 80 years' combined research experience, and through simple identification information can help prevent these major pest species being introduced to new geographical areas. Of particular value to agriculture and quarantine officers responsible for the detection of new incursions, where early detection is both economical and essential to guarantee eradication, this book is also a valuable resource for researchers and students of agriculture and entomology. ; A companion to “Tropical Fruit Flies of South-East Asia (Tephritidae: Dacinae)”, this book provides fully-illustrated keys for the identification of all currently-known Dacinae fruit flies.

Insects (entomology)December 2013Tropical Fruit Flies of South-East Asia
(Tephritidae: Dacinae)
by Richard A I Drew, Meredith C Romig
As global warming and species migration become more prevalent issues, there is an urgent need for a text that provides comprehensive taxonomic details and geographic distributions of Dacinae fruit flies within south-east Asia. In particular, some of the major pest species of this region are being introduced on a regular basis to new geographical areas, causing widespread food security issues and economic hardship. Quarantine and horticultural organisations require detailed information on these fruit fly species in order to detect and eradicate any new incursions. This major new reference work details the taxonomic research into the subfamily Dacinae, which contains the tropical fruit flies of south-east Asia, as well as many other regions of the world. While focusing on south-east Asian fauna, all known species are included, through a study of the type material available in museums around the world. Specimens collected in major surveys conducted across Asia from 1983 to present have also been used to ensure a complete, in-depth review of this subfamily. Providing complete descriptions and artwork of all species of Dacinae recorded from the south-east Asian region for the first time, this book is written and illustrated by experts with over 80 years' combined research experience. Areas covered include: India, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, China, Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, Palau, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. It is an essential reference for departments of agriculture, researchers and students of entomology and quarantine, horticultural and chemical industry personnel worldwide. Key features: - 120 recently discovered species - 500 detailed drawings - Revision of all known species - Updated geographical distributions and host records - Accurate list and detailed information of all known pest species This book will be followed by Keys to Fruit Flies of South-East Asia.

K u n s t / A n g s t EIN ÜBERLEBENSHANDBUCH FÜR DEN KÜNSTLER Von DAVID BAYLES & TED ORLAND Worum geht es bei Kunst? Wohin bewegt sie sich? Welche Widerstände gibt es? DAS SIND DIE FRAGEN, AUF DIE ES ANKOMMT, wiederkehrende Fragen, die sich in jedem Stadium der künstlerischen Entwicklung stellen. Sie sind der Ursprung für dieses Kompendium scharfsinniger Beobachtungen. Kunst & Angst erforscht, wie Kunst geschaffen wird, die Gründe, warum Kunstwerke oft nicht entstehen und die Art der Schwierigkeiten, die so viele Künstler dazu bringt, auf der Wegstrecke aufzugeben. Dieses Buch handelt davon, was du fühlst, wenn du in deinem Atelier oder im Lehrsaal sitzt, du an der Töpferscheibe oder am Keyboard, vor der Staffelei oder hinter deiner Kamera stehst und du versuchst, das Werk, das dir bestimmt ist, zu schaffen. Es geht darum, dass du deine Zukunft in die Hand nimmst, den Freien Willen über Vorherbestimmung, die Wahl vor den Zufall stellst. Es geht darum, dein eigenes Werk zu finden.

May 2012Frau des Windes
by Elena Poniatowska, Maria Hoffmann-Dartevelle
Schon als Kind sieht sie die Welt mit eigenen Augen, hält sich für ein Pferd und bewohnt einen Kosmos aus Fabelwesen. Den Konventionen ihrer reichen englischen Familie mißtraut Leonora, sie sagt sich von allen Zwängen los und erkämpft sich das Recht, eine in der Gesellschaft und an der Staffelei absolut freie Frau zu werden. In der wahnwitzigen Liebe zu dem Maler Max Ernst stürzt sie in wonnevolle Abgründe. Mit ihm zusammen ergibt Leonora sich in Paris dem Sinnestaumel des Surrealismus, ist eng befreundet mit Dalí, Miró und Picasso. Als Max Ernst im Zweiten Weltkrieg interniert wird, verliert Leonora den Verstand und wird in eine Anstalt eingewiesen. Nach Ausbruch und Flucht über den Atlantik erobert sie, unterstützt durch ihre Freundin Peggy Guggenheim, die Kunstwelt New Yorks. Vertrieben, getrieben und besessen – in ihrer letzten Heimat Mexiko schafft sie, beseelt durch eine letzte große Liebe, Meisterwerke so singulär wie ihre Geschichte selbst. Das außergewöhnliche Leben der Leonora Carrington (1917–2011) wird in den Händen Elena Poniatowskas zu einem weltumspannenden Abenteuer, einem Schrei nach Freiheit und einem Zeugnis von bedingungsloser Leidenschaft.
