Rumänische Literatur im deutschsprachigen Raum seit 1990
Die Rezeption rumänischer Literatur seit 1990 im deutschsprachigen Raum ist ein Seismograf für die Entwicklung der rumänisch-deutschen Kulturbeziehungen. Welche Autorinnen und Autoren rumänischer Herkunft, welche Werke und Themen stoßen zu welcher Zeit auf das Interesse des deutschsprachigen Lesepublikums? Warum werden bestimmte Autorinnen und Autoren und bestimmte Werke besser rezipiert als andere? Und welche politischen, wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und kulturellen Faktoren haben daran einen Anteil? Neben Antworten auf diese Fragen gibt Antonina Roitburd Auskunft zu den Akteuren und deren Motivation in diesem Prozess. Auch die nicht zu unterschätzende Tätigkeit der Übersetzerinnen und Übersetzer stellt sie heraus.

Knowing One's Place in Contemporary Irish and Polish Poetry
Are we allowed to choose where we belong? What pressures make us feel that we should belong somewhere? This book brings together four major poets-Heaney, Mahon, Zagajewski, and Hartwig-who ask themselves these questions throughout their lives. They start by assuming that we can choose not to belong, but know this is easier said than done. Something in them is awry, leading them to travel, emigrate, and return dissatisfied with all forms of belonging. Writer after writer has suggested that Polish and Irish literature bear some uncanny similarities, particularly in the 20th century, but few have explored these similarities in depth.

What happens, though, when a poet makes a career out of refusing to know her place in the way her culture expects? This book explores the consequences of this refusal, allowing these poets to answer such questions through their own poems, leading to surprising conclusions about the connection of knowledge and belonging, roots and identity.
The White King
An international sensation, this startling and heartbreaking debut recounts the adventures of eleven-year-old Djata in one life-changing year. To be published in twenty countries around the world this spring. Djata doesn't know what to make of the two men who lead his father away one day, or understand why his mother bursts into tears when he brings her tulips on her anniversary. He does know that he must learn to fill his father's shoes, even though among his friends he is still a boy: fighting neighborhood gang wars, volunteering to dig ditches, playing soccer on radioactive grass, having inappropriate crushes, sneaking into secret screening rooms, and shooting at stray cats with his gun-h...
Sofia Petrovna
Sofia Petrovna is Lydia Chukovskaya's fictional account of the Great Purge. Sofia is a Soviet Everywoman, a doctor's widow who works as a typist in a Leningrad publishing house. When her beloved son is caught up in the maelstrom of the purge, she joins the long lines of women outside the prosecutor's office, hoping against hope for good news. Confronted with a world that makes no moral sense, Sofia goes mad, a madness which manifests itself in delusions little different from the lies those around her tell every day to protect themselves. Sofia Petrovna offers a rare and vital record of Stalin's Great Purges.
