Sophie Isler verlobt sich
Wer spricht noch von den großen Hoffnungen der deutschen Judenheit im 19. Jahrhundert oder vom Aufbruch bürgerlicher Frauen? Dieses Buch erzählt die Geschichte von Sophie Isler, der frisch verlobten Hamburgerin, und Otto Magnus, ihrem Braunschweiger Bräutigam. Sorgfältig bereiten sie sich 1867 auf ihr Projekt Ehe vor. Denn Sophie will Gleichberechtigung, als Frau und als Jüdin. Vom frühen Feminismus erfahren wir, vom Alltag der jüdischen Minderheit und ihrer Annäherung an die Mehrheitsgesellschaft. Das wird hautnah erzählt, aus der Sicht und mit den Worten der Beteiligten, denn der Text basiert auf ca. 4.000 Briefen von 1827 bis 1888, Familienbriefen aus dem jüdisch-deutschen Bild...
A Menagerie
Russell Banks, Temple Grandin, and other renowned writers contemplate animals—and the way our own species interacts with them. Conjunctions: 61, A Menagerie gathers essays, fiction, and poetry that imagine the world of our fellow beings, animals. Cultural mythologies and pantheons are populated with snakes, monkeys, cats, jackals, whales: a cast of characters whose stories reveal how complex and wildly contradictory our species’ relationship with other animals is. They’re friends, enemies, tools, food. Descartes deliberated about whether animals have souls, deciding they didn’t. Linnaeus cataloged them. Darwin connected us to them. Wild or tame, sinless or soulless, the animal is a chimera of shifting identities, both mundane and mysterious. Featuring interviews with William S. Burroughs and Temple Grandin, essays by animal experimenters Vint Virga and Dale Peterson, fiction by Russell Banks and Joyce Carol Oates, and work by many others, this collection of imaginative new writing offers uncaged access to the lives of the nonhuman creatures that surround us.
Exile
New writings on defectors and deportees, migrants and refugees, and the feeling of being far from home. From the moment homes and homelands came into being, exile ensued. While narratives of exile share themes of banishment, loss and longing, they are as diverse as the human experience itself. Writers as different as Homer and Heinlein, Aeschylus and Camus addressed this subject. In The Satanic Verses, Salman Rushdie conceives of exile as “a dream of glorious return. Exile is a vision of revolution. It is an endless paradox: looking forward by always looking back.” Its permutations know no bounds. The political dissident deported, or jailed, under house arrest; the defected spy; the classic prince banished by his royal father from the city gates; the communal exile of the diaspora. Through cutting-edge fiction, poetry and essays by emerging voices and contemporary masters, Conjunctions: 62, Exile explores the ramifications of expulsion and ostracism. Contributors include Edie Meidav, Peter Straub, Can Xue, H.G. Carrillo, Ales Steger, Maxine Chernoff and others.
