The End of the Rainy Season
Marian Lindberg grew up being told that Walter Lindberg, the man who raised her father, was a brave explorer who had been murdered in the Amazon. She took her father’s claims at face value, basking in her exotic roots, until she started to notice things. The unverified legend became a riddle she couldn’t solve. As Lindberg moved from journalism to law, fell in love, and sought a family of her own, her father repeatedly interfered. He had a closed vision of his family, and she—unlike the silent Walter—was breaking out. Yet her father’s story of the past haunted Lindberg. Long after her father’s death, Lindberg set off for the Amazon, determined to find out the truth about Walter. Aided by generous Brazilians who adopted her search as if it were their own, she discovered as much about herself and her family as about Walter, whose true role in Brazil’s history turned out to be unexpected and deeply troubling. Sharply observant, wrought with honesty, and sweeping in its ambitions, The End of the Rainy Season is a powerful examination of identity and human relationships with nature, and between one another.
Melancholic Migrating Bodies in Contemporary Polish Women's Writing
Reading contemporary women’s writing as melancholy texts highlights their often under-explored neuralgic nature and emancipatory value. These “strangers in their own lands,” as most recent Polish women writers and their work were described, are the subject of detailed analysis in this book, and are also positioned as the mirrors in which those lands are reflected. From this perspective, the melancholic strands in women’s writing are drawn together to provide a diagnosis of the current situation in Poland, taking into account unwanted discourses, unwelcomed subjects and unresolved problems. Melancholic Migrating Bodies offers the first systematic overview of Poland’s literary and cultural environment after 1989 from the perspective of women’s writing. It critically surveys the various political and social transformations of this period through a close reading of the foremost Polish female novelists. In this original way, the book adopts a fresh perspective on some of the country’s key questions, such as Catholicism, nationalism, the patriotic ethos, history, romantic mythology and the problem of memory.
Between Budapest and Jerusalem
The tribulations experienced by the five Patais (Raphael, his father, mother, brother, and sister), as well as their interactions with many well-known Jewish leaders, authors, and scholars of the 1930s both in Hungary and Palestine, spring to life in fascinating detail in the letters presented in Between Budapest and Jerusalem. Rich in source material, this book provides rare insight into the life of one of the first families of Hungary and Palestine, the twilight of the Hungarian Jewish community, the initial phase of Jewish nation-building in Palestine, and the Arab-Jewish struggle for that much-contested and much-loved land.

Wundersame Geschichten
Welche Ratschläge kann ein alter Lindenbaum erteilen? Was hat es mit einem Stück Holz auf sich, das des Nachts zu leuchten beginnt? Weist es vielleicht auf einen Schatz hin? Was passierte den preußischen Zwillingen? Ihr schlimmes Schicksal wurde von einer Wahrsagerin vorausgesehen und erst das zweite Orakel brachte ihnen das, was sie verdient hatten. Tiatlus Erbe: ein Halsband. Was hat es damit auf sich? Welche Folgen kann der ausgeprägte sechste Sinn haben? Ist es wirklich sinnvoll, dem Reichtum hinterherzulaufen? Und aus dem Mittelalter erfahren wir, wie ein schöner Apfel das Leben einer angeklagten Hexe retten kann. Und was geschah in Augusta Treverorum, der Stadt, die heute Trier heißt?All diese Erzählungen verbindet, dass sie über etwas Merkwürdiges, Außergewöhnliches, Unwahrscheinliches oder gar Unerklärliches berichten, wie es überall auf der Welt und jederzeit geschieht und das uns Menschen wohl als wundersam erscheint.
