5. Bubenreuther Literaturwettbewerb
Anthologie zum fünften Bubenreuther Literaturwettbewerb - Der Bubenreuther Literaturwettbewerb hat die fünfte Runde überstanden. Das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen: Texte, die einen Überblick über die Aktivitäten jener deutschsprachigen Autoren geben, die noch ihren Weg suchen. Sie sind die Zukunft! Eine neue Zeit hat begonnen. Andere Schwerpunkte werden nun gesetzt. Gefälligkeit, einst verpönt, ist wieder gefragt. Harte Arbeit am Text zahlt sich aus. Man sieht sie dem Werk später oft gar nicht mehr an, wenn es scheinbar schwerelos im Raum schwebt, und doch ist sie fast immer notwendig. Die Literatur wird breiter, mehr und mehr Menschen beteiligen sich. Das spiegelt sich in dieser Anthologie mit ihren 271 Werken wider.

Historical Dictionary of the Discovery and Exploration of the Pacific Islands
The South Seas, as this region used to be called, conjured up images of adventure, belles and savages, romance and fabulous fortunes, but the long voyages of discovery and exploration of the vast Pacific Ocean were really an exercise in amazing logistics, navigation, hard grit, shipwreck and pure luck. The motivations were scientific and geographic, but at the same time nationalistic and materialistic. A series on global exploration and discovery would not be complete without this book by Quanchi and Robson. It is ambitious and informative and includes the familiar names of Laperouse, Bougainville, Cook and Dampier, as well as the intriguing stories of the Bounty Mutiny, scurvy, and the mysterious Northwest Passage, Terra Australis Ignotia and Davis Land. There are entries on first contacts, ships, navigational instruments, mapping, and botany. The scene is carefully set in the introduction, the chronology spans several centuries, and the extensive bibliography offers a guide to further reading. There are more than just dry facts in this book. It has a whiff of salt air, the clash of empires, cross-cultural beach encounters and personal adventure.

Modernism and the Spiritual in Russian Art
In 1911 Vasily Kandinsky published the first edition of ‘On the Spiritual in Art’, a landmark modernist treatise in which he sought to reframe the meaning of art and the true role of the artist. For many artists of late Imperial Russia – a culture deeply influenced by the regime’s adoption of Byzantine Orthodoxy centuries before – questions of religion and spirituality were of paramount importance. As artists and the wider art community experimented with new ideas and interpretations at the dawn of the twentieth century, their relationship with ‘the spiritual’ – broadly defined – was inextricably linked to their roles as pioneers of modernism. This diverse collection of ess...
