Book Description
Der Künstler Manfred Bockelmann, porträtiert seit Jahren junge Menschen, die dem Nationalsozialismus zum Opfer fielen. Bockelmann möchte damit 'Zeichen gegen das Vergessen' setzen und zumindest einigen wenigen Namen und Nummern Gesichter geben, Menschen aus der Anonymität der Statistik herausheben. Die porträtierten Kinder und Jugendlichen wurden am Wiener Spiegelgrund und in den Konzentrationslagern Auschwitz-Birkenau, Theresienstadt sowie anderen zu Opfern des Nationalsozialismus. Gerade in diesen Bildern der damals so genannten 'Unreinen' zeigt sich eine reine Menschlichkeit. Der Anspruch des Künstlers, 'gegen das Vergessen' zu zeichnen, meint nicht nur diese ganz besonderen jungen Menschen, die einen Namen und eine Biografie haben, sondern zielt darauf ab, den Wert einer empathischen Mitmenschlichkeit nicht zu vergessen. Anteil zu nehmen, nicht wegzusehen, sich zu identifizieren - das ist die Botschaft.0Exhibition: Leopold Museum, Wien, Austria (17.05.-02.09.2013).

Book Description
In the stories that make up Oblivion, David Foster Wallace joins the rawest, most naked humanity with the infinite involutions of self-consciousness -- a combination that is dazzlingly, uniquely his. These are worlds undreamt of by any other mind. Only David Foster Wallace could convey a father's desperate loneliness by way of his son's daydreaming through a teacher's homicidal breakdown (The Soul Is Not a Smithy). Or could explore the deepest and most hilarious aspects of creativity by delineating the office politics surrounding a magazine profile of an artist who produces miniature sculptures in an anatomically inconceivable way (The Suffering Channel). Or capture the ache of love's breakdown in the painfully polite apologies of a man who believes his wife is hallucinating the sound of his snoring (Oblivion). Each of these stories is a complete world, as fully imagined as most entire novels, at once preposterously surreal and painfully immediate.

Book Description
Her head tells her he's trouble. So why does the rest of her still want him? Mai knows the danger of physical attraction, and has learned to never lower her guard. Her distrustful nature keeps her isolated within the newly resurrected Dark Court, but it has also kept her safe, and she sees no need to change while the court is focused on defeating an evil power intent on destroying their world. So why do her eyes always turn to the arrogant soldier who flirts as much as he breathes and whose mysterious past makes him her most dangerous ally? Rosuke has been drawn to the fiery valor within Mai's walled-off heart since the moment he met her. Knowing he'll never be worthy of her, he's held back from melting her icy reserve, but the moment he overhears her reason for keeping her distance-and that she seeks to understand pleasure-he sets out to fulfill her wish, hoping to unburden himself of his shameful past before the battle where he expects to lose his life. Drawn into Oblivion is book two of an epic fantasy romance series about the extraordinary magic-users of the Dark Court in their fight against evil, with love guiding them to triumph. The series features magic, monsters, and steamy sex scenes, set in an imaginary empire that evokes late medieval Japanese life. Perfect for fans of Bec McMaster and Grace Draven!This title was previously published as "Oblivion."

Book Description
Haderlap is an accomplished poet, and that lyricism leaves clear traces on this ravishing debut, which won the prestigious Bachmann Prize in 2011. The descriptions are sensual, and the unusual similes and metaphors occasionally change perspective unexpectedly. Angel of Oblivion deals with harrowing subjects - murder, torture, persecution and discrimination of an ethnic minority - in intricate and lyrical prose. The novel tells the story of a family from the Slovenian minority in Austria. The first-person narrator starts off with her childhood memories of rural life, in a community anchored in the past. Yet behind this rural idyll, an unresolved conflict is smouldering. At first, the child wonders about the border to Yugoslavia, which runs not far away from her home. Then gradually the stories that the adults tell at every opportunity start to make sense. All the locals are scarred by the war. Her grandfather, we find out, was a partisan fighting the Nazis from forest hideouts. Her grandmother was arrested and survived Ravensbrück. As the narrator grows older, she finds out more. Through conversations at family gatherings and long nights talking to her grandmother, she learns that her father was arrested by the Austrian police and tortured - at the age of ten - to extract information on the whereabouts of his father. Her grandmother lost her foster-daughter and many friends and relatives in Ravensbrück and only escaped the gas chamber by hiding inside the camp itself. The narrator begins to notice the frequent suicides and violent deaths in her home region, and she develops an eye for how the Slovenians are treated by the majority of German-speaking Austrians. As an adult, the narrator becomes politicised and openly criticises the way in which Austria deals with the war and its own Nazi past. In the closing section, she visits Ravensbrück and finds it strangely lifeless - realising that her personal memories of her grandmother are stronger. Illuminating an almost forgotten chapter of European history and the European present, the book deals with family dynamics scarred by war and torture - a dominant grandmother, a long-suffering mother, a violent father who loves his children but is impossible to live with. And interwoven with this is compelling reflection on storytelling: the narrator hoping to rid herself of the emotional burden of her past and to tell stories on behalf of those who cannot.

Book Description
The selected works of one of our finest American poets The thread that dangles us between a dark and a darker dark, Is luminous, sure, but smooth sided. Don’t touch it here, and don’t touch it there. Don’t touch it, in fact, anywhere— Let it dangle and hold us hard, let it flash and swing. —from “Scar Tissue” Over the course of his work—more than twenty books in total—Charles Wright has built “one of the truly distinctive bodies of poetry created in the second half of the twentieth century” (David Young, Contemporary Poets). Oblivion Banjo, a capacious new selection spanning his decades-long career, showcases the central themes of Wright’s poetry: “language, landscape, and the idea of God.” No matter the precise subject of each poem, on display here is a vast and rich interior life, a mind wrestling with the tenuous relationship between the ways we describe the world and its reality. The recipient of almost every honor in poetry—the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize, to name a few—and a former poet laureate of the United States, Wright is an essential voice in American letters. Oblivion Banjo is the perfect distillation of his inimitable career—for devout fans and newcomers alike.

Book Description
Design for a democratic society was a matter of urgency in bombed-out postwar Europe. Swiss sociologist, journalist, professor and founding father of strollology Lucius Burckhardt (1925-2003) pioneered the interdisciplinary analysis of man-made environments, and thereby highlighted both the visible and invisible aspects of our cities and social relations. Acutely aware of how our interventions and decisions shape the world, and how the changing world in turn, shapes us, his life-long focus was not only the prerequisites of architecture, urban planning and design but also their long-term impact. Teaching and practice still owe much to his work. Thus, the first selection of Lucius Burckhardt's texts to appear in English, introduces his groundbreaking theory of environmental design, in retrospective tribute to a prescient thinker.
