        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. ;

        Conga Line on the Amazon

        by David Myles Robinson

        David Myles Robinson was eight years old when he first got hooked on travel. Since then, he’s seen most of the world—all its continents plus, he laments, “far too many places where travel is now off-limits.”After a lifetime of visiting near and far, in heat and in cold, in comfort and in danger, Robinson has put it all together now in this unique collection of the varied travel adventures he’s found—and the lessons he’s learned from them. A Fellini-esque view of the Amazon, a Mercedes caravan to Istanbul, Jane Goodall's amazing chimps—just part of a travel trunk full of experiences guaranteed to keep you seesawing from “Boy, I'd love to do that" to “Sure glad it was him, not me.”In Conga Line on the Amazon, Robinson brings to his first travel book the same gift for intriguing narrative and sharp characterization that has won praise for his six highly successful novels. Some of his tales may be for the strong of heart, but they’re all for the reader with a yen to be entertained by one intrepid man’s adventures and misadventures exploring the strange and wonderful world we live in.

        Der Kinogeher

        by Walker Percy, Peter Handke

        Die Filmbesuche des Kinogehers lassen sich nicht als triviale Zerstreuung verstehen, sie offenbaren ihm die Einsamkeit und Hilflosigkeit seiner Suche. Doch jene Suchen, von denen die Filme erzählen, sind verfälscht: Der Held und Außenseiter endet glücklich als Konformist in der Menge. Die Mutter des Kinogehers, die ihr Kind der vornehmen Verwandtschaft überließ, als sie den einfachen zweiten Mann heiratete, eine Schafferin, die das hier und jetzt Notwendige ohne viel Worte tut, gibt dem Sohn einen Hinweis, als sie in ihrer unsentimentalen Art ihm von der Unrast und den Depressionen seines Vaters, des Arztes, berichtet. Schließlich findet der Kinogeher einen Weg, auf dem er zu suchen beginnen kann. Der Weg führt fort von leicht verdientem Geld und schönen Mädchen, fort auch von spektakulärer Leistung ... »Eine seltene wahre Geschichte« nennt der Üersetzer Peter Handke den Roman, den ersten des Autors, der 1961 mit dem National Book Award ausgezeichnet wurde und Walker Percy sofort bekannt machte.

        Journeyman

        An autobiography

        by Ewan Maccoll, Peggy Seeger, Peggy Seeger

        This new edition of Journeyman, Ewan MacColl's vivid and entertaining autobiography, has been re-edited from the original manuscript, and includes a new introduction by Peggy Seeger, for whom he wrote the unforgettable 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'. MacColl, a singer, songwriter, actor, playwright and broadcaster, begins this fascinating account with his working class Salford childhood, traces the founding and life of Theatre Workshop, one of Britain's most innovative theatre companies, then moves on to his work with folksingers, the Radio Ballads and his ascent into old age. Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger were among the main leaders of the UK folksong revival. Journeyman documents their struggle to secure the integrity of that revival as the popular media appropriated and re-created traditional music for commercial gain. An entertaining and thought-provoking slice of British history, it will appeal to those interested in the histories of folk music, theatre, radio, left-wing politics and the Manchester area. ;

        All die unbewohnten Zimmer

        by Friedrich Ani

        Eine Bibliothekarin wird in einem Park in München erschossen, ein Polizist verletzt. Ein Streifenpolizist wird erschlagen am Rande einer rechtsradikalen Demonstration. Zur Aufklärung bietet Friedrich Ani gleich vier Ermittler auf, man kennt sie aus seinen anderen Büchern: Polonius Fischer, Jakob Franck, Tabor Süden sowie Fariza Nasri. Ohne sie wären die Fälle nicht aufzuklären, denn die Vier sehen sich mit einem Kaleidoskop von menschlichem Leid, Rache- und Machtgelüsten, privaten Vorlieben, politischen Umtrieben und gesellschaftlichen Spaltungen konfrontiert, kurz mit einem Kosmos, der die gesamte Situation nicht nur Deutschlands in nuce widerspiegelt. All die unbewohnten Zimmer schlägt eine Schneise durch das Gestrüpp der politischen und individuellen Verfasstheit unserer Zeit. Friedrich Ani legt einen ebenso überraschungsreichen Krimi wie abgrundtief bösen Gesellschaftsroman vor. Er lässt uns das Böse und (das nie zu erreichende) Gute neu begreifen.

        Werke. Frankfurter Ausgabe in sieben Bänden

        1: Dubliner

        by James Joyce, Dieter E. Zimmer

        Die Neuübersetzung von Dieter E. Zimmer versucht, den heutigen Anforderungen an den Text gerecht zu werden. Sie versucht, die Struktur der Erzählungen sichtbar zu machen, indem sie von ihr her übersetzt. Das verlangt eine große Nähe zum Original, die darin etwa ihren Nachweis erbringen muß, daß sie Identisches in verschiedenen Kontexten identisch übersetzt (was in der alten Übersetzung vielfach nicht geleistet ist), oder daß sie, bis in die Abfolge der Wörter hinein und manchmal sogar bis in deren Etymologie dem Original folgt. Der neue deutsche Text versucht zu zeigen, wie das, was dasteht, zusammenhängt.
