Geschichten aus Nicaragua
Nach Jahrzehnten der Befreiungskämpfe und Revolutionen ist Mittelamerika geprägt durch die Suche nach Jobs in den USA, den Drogenhandel, die damit zusammenhängende Gewalt, eine neue Armut und den Zerfall traditioneller Strukturen, denen sich neue, globalisierte Verhältnisse überstülpen.

From Toleration to Expulsion
On April 6, 1948, a significant portion of the population of the village of Ecsény in Somogy County, Hungary, was expelled from their homeland. This was the result of Protocol XIII of the Potsdam Declaration of 1945 calling for “the orderly and humane transfer of German populations now living in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary.” The families involved were descendants of German settlers who began to arrive in what would become the village of Ecsény as early as 1754.

Forever Faithful
This is the third in a series of genealogical studies of German families that emigrated to the Kingdom of Hungary in the early 18th century and settled in Somogy County. Kötcse is the oldest of the three major German Lutheran parishes that evolved and numerous families from Kötcse were instrumental in the establishment of the other two. The family histories of those who settled in the parish of Somogydöröcske are included in the volume: Dörnberg: In the Shadow of the Josefsberg; and those from the parish of Ecsény in From Toleration to Expulsion that both preceded this publication. In addition to the genealogical information the author provides the historical context and other information vital to an understanding of the lifestyle, traditions and ultimate destiny of their sojourn in Hungary and beyond.
Early Printed Narrative Literature in Western Europe
The essays in this volume are concerned with early printed narrative texts in Western Europe. The aim of this book is to consider to what extent the shift from hand-written to printed books left its mark on narrative literature in a number of vernacular languages. Did the advent of printing bring about changes in the corpus of narrative texts when compared with the corpus extant in manuscript copies? Did narrative texts that already existed in manuscript form undergo significant modifications when they began to be printed? How did this crucial media development affect the nature of these narratives? Which strategies did early printers develop to make their texts commercially attractive? Which social classes were the target audiences for their editions? Around half of the articles focus on developments in the history of early printed narrative texts, others discuss publication strategies. This book provides an impetus for cross-linguistic research. It invites scholars from various disciplines to get involved in an international conversation about fifteenth- and sixteenth-century narrative literature.
