Nicola Fortore, detto Barracuda (perché si dice che abbia i molari così appuntiti da poter spezzare i nervi della carne), è il capo di Ferrazzano, un paese di niente sperso nella campagna molisana, è un capo riconosciuto, anche se non dalla legge. Oltre il fiume che lambisce il paese, c’è Sant’Elpidio, un paese più ricco, con il suo capo Tiziano Bianco, che è anche il datore di lavoro di Nicola nel caseificio di bufale.

Un uomo cammina lungo le rive di un grande lago tedesco. È partito all’improvviso, dopo avere provocato una serie di “incidenti emotivi”, come lui stesso li definisce. È ripiombato nella vita di persone che non vedeva da tempo. Ha risposto a email rimaste lì per quindici anni, facendo domande fuori luogo. Ha provato a riannodare fili spezzati. Mauro Barbi, storico di professione, cerca di aggiustare i ricordi degli altri – le persone che ama e ha amato – proponendo la sua versione dei fatti. Cerca di costruire una “memoria condivisa” che lo riguarda.

Juni 1940: Hitlers Wehrmacht hat Frankreich besiegt. Die Gestapo fahndet nach Heinrich Mann und Lion Feuchtwanger, nach Hannah Arendt, Franz Werfel und unzähligen anderen, die in Frankreich seit 1933 Asyl gefunden haben.

Derweil riskiert der Amerikaner Varian Fry sein Leben, um die Verfolgten außer Landes zu schmuggeln. Szenisch dicht erzählt Uwe Wittstock die aufwühlende Geschichte ihrer Flucht unter tödlichen Gefahren, von unfassbarem Mut und größter Verzweiflung, von trotziger Hoffnung und Mitmenschlichkeit in düsterer Zeit.

Кобзар — збірка поетичних творів геніального українського митця Тараса Григоровича Шевченка, що увібрала в собі найбільш видатні його вірші та поеми. Твори, що увійшли до складу «Кобзаря», писалися на тернистих шляхах життя Шевченка, в неволі, у мандрах та вигнанні. Книга складалася поступово, її формувала сама доля великого українського кріпака. Надзвичайно милозвучною мовою автор розповідає про велич та красу українського народу, малює картину його історії та побуту, його трагедій та негараздів, натхнень та прагнень.

Das Dasein ästhetisch rechtfertigen – und sich dabei zuschauen. Oder sich eingestehen, dass man eigentlich gar nicht versteht, was in der Welt geschieht. Oder das Ganze herumdrehen: Nicht-Verstehen als ethische Grundlage eines Lebens betrachten. Wie wäre es mit einer Poesie der Gleichgültigkeit? Einer Haltung, die dennoch nichts unberührt lässt – wäre dies ein erster Schritt? Und wohin? Willi van Hengel hat einen Reigen seiner bisher erschienenen Texte komponiert.

"Quando scrivo poesia mi sento simile alle stelle che vagabondano nel cielo con la loro luce intermittente. La mia poesia vive di segni e di simboli, con la mia parola poetica annuncio eventi. Abito l’immaginazione, vi soggiorno, amo sedurre con le parole e i simboli per rendere sopportabile il mondo che incatena le nostre vite. Mi inabisso fino ai fondali del mondo e più in là nell’infinito, per scrutarne il mistero. Io scrivo poesia per salvarmi dalla mia dannazione, dal mio destino."

Karl Kraus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Aphoristiker deutscher Sprache. Ob berühmte Schriftsteller oder die Presse - nichts und niemand wurde von der Kritik seiner Feder verschont. Bekannte Künstler wie Stefan Zweig, Georg Trakl, Thomas Mann und andere zollten ihm Respekt, aber die Zahl seiner Feinde in Kunst und Gesellschaft war enorm. Als Vorleser hinterließ er aufgrund seiner Sprachgewalt und Persönlichkeit angeblich einen äußerst außergewöhnlichen Eindruck.

After three long years of war and disruptions, Alfred hopes for a time of peace and tranquility. A time to devote his energy to bettering the lives of his people, to focus on what the future holds for his children, to nurture his alliances, and to see his previous endeavors bear fruit. But even the home front has bumps in the road. The campaign to suppress Teuton aggression has been costly, Lord Meriden's threat to disrupt the kingdom shows no sign of abating, and Nerrick's growing negativity casts a shadow over the mutual defense plans with the Territories.

Have you ever heard the sounds of Hell? Felt the darkness and the ice? Tasted the burnt air on your tongue? Dante’s Inferno will give you a flavor of the wretchedness of sin that you will never forget. The images and action that bring you down into the very center of judgment and consequence, into that eternal realm of woe, will stick to the ribcages of your mind, and change the way you see the world, the devil, and your own flesh.
