الدمار» رواية واقعية من الريف للكاتب التشيكي الشاب «ستانيسلاف بيلر». وقد حصلت هذه الرواية على جائزة «ماجنيسيا ليتيرا» الأدبية المرموقة لعام 2022، وهي جائزة تمنحها جمعية الأدب التشيكي كل عام لأفضل عمل أدبي. تدور أحداثها في قرية من أقصى الريف التشيكي الذي يتميز بطبيعةٍ خلَّابة تَسلب الألباب وتَأسِر القلوب، وتُوقِع الإنسان في حبها والهُيَام بها عِشقاً؛ هذه الطبيعة التي تُمثِّل مَلاذاً أخيراً لكلِّ مَن يبحث عن الهدوء، ويرغب في الهروب من صخَب المدينة وضجيجها الذي لا ينتهي. فهل سيجد فيها المعلِّم – بطلُ الرواية – ما يبحث عنه؟ هل سيجد مَلاذه الآمِن وغايته المنشودة، أم أن هذه القرية ستمثِّل الاستثناءَ الذي يشذُّ عن القاعدة؟ وهل ما زالت العلاقات الاجتماعية والأُسَرية في الريف كسابق عهدها، أم أنها تأثَّرَت بالثورة الصناعية والتطوُّر التقني؟ وهل سيجد هذا المعلِّم في هذه القرية التَّرحابَ الكافي ليقوم بدَوْره الـمَـنُـوط به كما كان يتوقَّع؟

تَقُولُ ابْنَتِي حِينَ جَدَّ الرَّحِيلُ أَرَانَـا سَـوَاءً وَمَـنْ قَدْ يَتِمْ أَبَانَا فَلَا رِمْـتَ مِنْ عِـنْدِنَا فَإِنَّــا بِخَـيْرٍ إِذَا لَــمْ تَــرِمْ وَيَا أَبَتَا لَا تَــزَلْ عِنْدَنَا فَــإِنَّا نَـخَافُ بِأَنْ تُخْتَرَمْ أَرَانَا إِذَا أَضْمَرَتْكَ البِلَا دُ نُجْفَـى وَتُقْطَعُ مِنَّا الرَّحِمْ أَفِي الطَّوْفِ خِفْتِ عَلَيَّ الرَّدَى وَكَمْ مِنْ رَدٍ أَهْلَهُ لَمْ يَرِمْ

Guadalupe Loaeza ha retratado como nadie a la burguesía mexicana: sus tardes con el psicoanalista, sus excursiones a la Lagunilla, sus vacaciones frustradas, sus fiestas de happy birthday y hasta sus dramas de Navidad. Con un estilo crítico, ingenioso e incómodamente divertido, captura la esencia de unas «niñas bien» que, aunque hoy se visten con huipiles combinados con pantalones carísimos, siguen siendo reflejo de una clase social...

Drei Schicksale, ein Tresen, hundert Geschichten: Die legendäre Kneipe Haus Himmelreich, eine der letzten ihrer Art im ganzen Ruhrgebiet, soll schließen! Der Erzähler nimmt das zum Anlass, sich die Gaststätte genauer anzusehen. Bei seiner Recherche für einen Artikel begegnet er skurrilen Stammgästen wie dem Käpt'n, dem Langen, Faris, dem Comedian oder der Wacholder-Anni, die so einiges zu erzählen haben. Der wahre Geist der Kneipe ist allerdings Wirtin Rita Urbaniak. Sie übernahm die Kneipe schon in den 1970ern, obwohl sie eigentlich was ganz anderes machen wollte.
