Slowenien mit seiner Hauptstadt Ljubljana grenzt an Italien, Kroatien, Österreich und Ungarn und war bislang mit keiner einzigen Schrift in unserer Edition Schoáh & Judaica vertreten. Es hatte sich in 38 Jahren einfach nicht ergeben. Um so mehr war ich erstaunt, am 19. Mai 2022 von dem mir völlig unbekannten slowenischen Kollegen Dr. Oto Luthar ein Publikationsangebot zu erhalten unter dem Titel: "Land der Schatten - Erinnerung an die Vertreibung und das Ver-schwinden der slowenisch-jüdischen Gemeinschaft" [in Prekmurje], woran auch sein Kollege Dr. Martin Pogacar beteiligt war. Der etwas sperrige Titel machte mich neugierig, und nach meinem ersten diagonalen Lesen war ich überzeugt, di...
In 2017, Edmund Platt aka The English Snail embarked on an 8,000 km hitchhike around France to pick up the trash that 1 in 3 French people chuck from their cars every day. Hellbent on making some noise about the disastrous littering problem, the plastic suffocating our oceans and our broken consumer society, Eddie's message is honest, ultra-powerful, and full of home truths. Highly anticipated by the media and fans alike, his first book details the nitty-gritty life on the road in the land of frog’s legs and garlic breath. With nothing but a backpack, litter-picker and healthy thirst for beer, his three-month journey will change the way you look at life and maybe even your priorities. Time isn't money, it's much more ****ing valuable than that! This book is a human rollercoaster adventure laced with twists and turns that anyone can relate to. Rich in spontaneity, amusing and eye-opening, The Englishman Who Wanted to Clean France is the ultimate slap in the face and kick-start we could all use during these contagious times.

Mikhail Kuzmin (1872-1936), Russia's first openly gay writer, stood at the epicenter of the turbulent cultural and social life of Petersburg-Petrograd-Leningrad for over three decades. A poet of the caliber of Aleksandr Blok, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Boris Pasternak, Osip Mandelshtam, and Marina Tsvetaeva (and acknowledged as such by them and other contemporaries), Kuzmin was also a prose writer, playwright, critic, translator, and composer who was associated with every aspect of modernism's history in Russia, from Symbolism to the Leningrad avant-gardes of the 1920s. Only now is Kuzmin beginning to emerge from the "official obscurity" imposed by the Soviet regime to assume his place as one of Russia's greatest poets and one of this century's most characteristic and colorful creative figures. This biography, the first in any language to be based on full and uncensored access to the writer's private papers, including his notorious Diary, places Kuzmin in the context of his society and times and contributes to our discovery and appreciation of a fascinating period and of Russia's long suppressed gay history.
