The Translatability of Revolution
"The first comprehensive study of the lifework of Guo Moruo (1892–1978) in English, this book explores the dynamics of translation, revolution, and historical imagination in twentieth-century Chinese culture. Guo was a romantic writer who eventually became Mao Zedong’s last poetic interlocutor; a Marxist historian who evolved into the inaugural president of China’s Academy of Sciences; and a leftist politician who devoted almost three decades to translating Goethe’s Faust. His career, embedded in China’s revolutionary century, has generated more controversy than admiration.

Cultures of Knowledge
Looking at knowledge transmission as a cultural feature, this book isolates and examines the individual factors that affect knowledge in the making and created uniquely Chinese cultures of knowledge. The volume is organized into four sections: Internode, Imperial Court, Agora, and Scholarly Arts. Each has a theoretical introduction, followed by two core contributions from experts in Chinese history. The section concludes with a ‘reflection’ by a historian of Western Technology who scrutinizes each sphere and identifies the points that reflect universal technological experience. The combination of broadly sketched theoretical introductions and detailed core contributions provides an unparalleled insight into pre-modern Chinese history from the Song to early Qing dynasty, revealing Chinese attitudes towards innovation and invention.
LIFE Anne Frank: The Diary at 70
In 1942, a young girl named Anne Frank was given a diary as a 13th birthday present. In it, she recorded her thoughts and experiences as her family-German Jews living in Amsterdam-went into hiding to attempt to escape the Nazi regime. They were finally found out and did not survive to the end of the war, but the subsequent publication of Anne's moving, mature and often beautiful diary made her into one of the most significant chroniclers of the Holocaust. The diary has been translated into 70 languages, with 25 million copies sold, and the lessons of Anne Frank's life continue to be learned anew every day. Includes: How Adolf Hitler came to power-and how the Frank family realized they would have to go into hiding The experiences that convinced Anne Frank she was meant to be a writer What happened to Anne and her family after they were discovered The world's response to the publication of Anne's diary in 1947 and the impact it has had in the seven decades since Plus: An introduction by President Bill Clinton

Das ungute Gefühl beim Hinterherwinken
Dann sieht Max undeutlich, wie der Bus hinter dem Waschbeton eines Bürohauses verschwindet. „Es ist ganz furchtbar“, sagt Max mit um Fassung ringender Stimme, während er Anne fest an die Hand nimmt. „Was ist denn so ... furchtbar ... mein Liebster?“ „Das ungute Gefühl beim Hinterherwinken.“ Nach dem Roman "Der Schwindel des Langläufers" (2013) und dem Band mit Erzählungen "Die Stimme des Fremden" (2014) legt der Autor nun seinen zweiten Roman vor. Fesselnd - verstörend - surreal
