Story7
A mű középpontjában a barátság, hűség és árulás nagy kérdései állnak. De nem pusztán egyes emberi sorsokról van itt szó, hanem egy másik, talán még nagyobb tragédiáról, arról, hogy a régi rend, társadalom széthullása a hagyományos erkölcsi értékek megrendülését is jelenti. Nagy indulatoktól feszülő, szuggesztív erejű regény ez, Márai stílusművészetének remeke.

On a brisk fall night in a New York apartment, 35-year-old Billie West hears terrified screams. It's her lifelong best friend Cassie Barnwell, one floor above, and she's just realized her infant daughter has gone missing. Billie is shaken as she looks down into her own arms to see the baby, remembering—with a jolt of fear—that she is responsible for the kidnapping that has instantly shattered Cassie’s world.

Повесть, в которой тема взросления будто переворачивается с ног на голову и обретает черты сюрреалистического юмора! Книга, в которой гомерически смешно и изощренно зло пародируется сама идея счастливого детства. Чуткий и умный Санаев все правильно понял. Оттого ценность его повести возрастает, и ей гарантировано место в истории русской литературы.

Draga Doamne-Doamne, Pe mine ma cheama Oscar, am zece ani, am dat foc pisicii, câinelui si casei (cred ca am pârlit si pestisorii din acvariu), si-abia acum îti scriu prima data pentru ca am tot fost ocupat cu lectiile. Da' sa stii: nu pot sa sufar sa scriu. Numai daca ma obliga cineva. Scrisul înseamna brizbizuri, floricele, zâmbete etc., o minciuna frumoasa si nimic mai mult. O chestie pentru oameni mari. Dovada? Uite, sa luam începutul scrisorii asteia.

Am kürzeren Ende der Sonnenallee, gleich neben der Berliner Mauer, wohnt Micha Kuppisch. Wenn er aus der Haustür tritt, hört er die Rufe westdeutscher Schulklassen vom Aussichtspodest: "Guck mal, 'n echter Zoni!" Micha aber hat eine andere Sorge: Miriam. Sie ist das schönste Mädchen weit und breit, doch leider schon vergeben. Miriam, Micha und seine Freunde lieben und lachen, tricksen und träumen. Sie hören Jimi Hendrix, angeln Liebesbriefe aus dem Todesstreifen und erschaffen sich erfindungsreich ihre eigene Welt. Und erst später wird ihnen klar, dass sie unheimlich komisch waren.

The book opens with a middle-aged man in a drunken fit of melancholy after hearing about the death of an old friend. At the subsequent funeral, he convinces his old Mod gang to relive the riotous days of the early ‘80s, in a scooter powered adventure to Brighton. All four escape to the south coast but for very different reasons. If there ever was a Quadrophenia II, then this is it.

Der junge Arzt Dr. Roy Basch verbringt sein erstes Praxisjahr im "House of God". Voller Enthusiasmus und Erwartungen, beseelt von dem Wunsch, zu helfen und zu heilen, muss er im Alltag bald erkennen, dass die Medizin ein dreckiges Geschäft ist. Verstört und desillusioniert versuchen er und seine jungen Kollegen, sich einen letzten Rest an Nächstenliebe zu bewahren. Drastisch und makaber stellt Shem einen bis heute vollkommen normalen Krankenhausalltag dar, in dem ein einzelner Mensch wenig, Profit dagegen alles zählt.

Albanien 1989: der letzte stalinistische Außenposten in Europa, ein isoliertes Land. Es herrschen Mangelwirtschaft, Geheimpolizei und das Proletariat. Für die zehnjährige Lea Ypi ist dieses Land ihr Zuhause – ein Ort der Geborgenheit, der Hoffnung und der Freiheit. Alles ändert sich, als in Tirana Enver Hoxhas Statue vom Sockel stürzt. Jetzt können die Menschen wählen, wen sie wollen. Aber die neue Zeit zeigt bald ihr unfreundliches Gesicht, und die Aussicht auf eine bessere Zukunft löst sich auf in Arbeitslosigkeit und Massenflucht.

Von der unbedingten Anwesenheitspflicht im eigenen Leben. Selma, eine alte Westerwälderin, kann den Tod voraussehen. Immer wenn ihr im Traum ein Okapi erscheint, stirbt am nächsten Tag jemand im Dorf. Unklar ist allerdings, wen es treffen wird. Davon, was die Bewohner in den folgenden Stunden fürchten, was sie blindlings wagen, gestehen, verschwinden lassen oder in Ordnung bringen, erzählt Mariana Leky in ihrem Roman - und natürlich noch viel mehr. Was man von hier aus sehen kann ist das Porträt eines Dorfes, in dem alles auf wundersame Weise zusammenhängt. Aber es ist vor allem ein Buch über die Liebe im Modus der Abwesenheit.

Und wir alle kennen jemanden wie ihn: den grummeligen Nachbarn von nebenan, der kontrolliert, ob der Müll richtig getrennt ist, und heimlich die Falschparker aufschreibt.

Questo romanzo è la storia dell’amore, lancinante e assoluto, di una figlia, Marie, nata da uno stupro, per la madre, Eugénie detta Génie, che, ripudiata dalla famiglia e respinta dalla comunità dopo che ha generato una bastarda, si è murata nel silenzio e nella lontananza. Una madre che sa dirle soltanto: «Non starmi sempre tra i piedi», che raramente la abbraccia; una che tutti, in paese, bollano come matta e sfruttano facendola lavorare nei campi e nelle fattorie in cambio di un po’ di frutta, di un pezzo di carne.

Trotz ist in seiner reinen Essenz: der Moment des Aufbäumens. Er kann ganze Gesellschaften in den Fortschritt katapultieren. Er kann aber auch: bremsen. Das gilt nicht nur für uns als Gemeinschaft, sondern auch für jeden Einzelnen. Wer ist nicht schon einmal trotzig über sich hinausgewachsen? Und wer wurde nicht auch einmal vom Trotz daran gehindert, etwas zu erreichen? Ronja von Rönne kennt den Trotz, etwas besser sogar, als ihr lieb ist. In diesem persönlichen Essay zeigt sie, wann der Trotz sie am Leben gehalten hat.
