Book Description
Mensch zu sein ist schwierig. Vor Allem in den Augenblicken, die von Verzweiflung erfüllt sind und Fragen aufwerfen, die unbeantwortet zu bleiben scheinen. Es gibt diese Momente, in denen man die Welt nicht mehr versteht, sie und dann auch noch sich selbst infrage stellt. Und dann gibt es noch Worte. Worte, die Bausteine sind und gleichzeitig viel mehr als nur das. Worte tun weh. Worte helfen. Worte verunsichern und erklären. Sie verstecken und bringen Licht ins Dunkle. Worte sind vieles. Worte sind Bausteine, doch lassen sie dich fühlen. Und dann klammert man sich an den Worten fest und erklärt sich damit die Welt. Sammelt Worte zu Sätzen zu Texten. Kreiert. Skizziert nach und nach, was es bedeutet, Mensch zu sein.

A Slap in the Face
Author: Abbas Khider
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780857425355
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Now in paperback, the touching, timely story of an Iraqi refugee in Germany. In our era of mass migration, much of it driven by war and its aftermath, A Slap in the Face could not be more timely. It tells the story of Karim, an Iraqi refugee living in Germany whose right to asylum has been revoked in the wake of Saddam Hussein's defeat. But Hussein wasn't the only reason Karim left, and as Abbas Khider unfolds his story, we learn both the secret struggles he faced in his homeland and the battles with prejudice, distrust, poverty, and bureaucracy he has to endure in his attempts to make a new life in Germany. As he erupts in frustration at his caseworker and finally forces her to listen to his story, we get an account of a contemporary life upended by politics and violence, told with warmth and humor that, while surprising us, does nothing to lessen the outrages Karim describes.

Franz Kafka
Author: Jakob Lothe
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780814211502
Category : Narration (Rhetoric)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Franz Kafka: Narration, Rhetoric, and Reading presents essays by noted Kafka critics and by leading narratologists who explore Kafka's original and innovative uses of narrative throughout his career. Collectively, these essays by Stanley Corngold, Anniken Greve, Gerhard Kurz, Jakob Lothe, J. Hillis Miller, Gerhard Neumann, James Phelan, Beatrice Sandberg, Ronald Speirs, and Benno Wagner examine a number of provocative questions that arise in narration and narratives in Kafka's fiction. The arguments of the essays relate both to the peculiarities of Kafka's story-telling and to general issues in narrative theory. They reflect, for example, the complexity of the issues surrounding the "somebody" doing the telling, the attitude of the narrator to what is told, the perceived purpose(s) of the telling, the implied or actual reader, the progression of events, and the progression of the telling. As the essays also demonstrate, Kafka's narratives still present a considerable challenge to, as well as a great resource for, narrative theory and analysis.

The Village Indian
Author: ʻAbbās Khiḍr
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780857421012
Category : Iraq
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Part Odyssey of the Persian Gulf and part 1001 Nights in Europe, this debut novel is drawn from the author's experiences as a political prisoner and years as a refugee. Our hero Rasul Hamid describes the eight different ways that he fled his home in Iraq and the eight different ways he has failed to find himself a new way home. From Iraq via Northern Africa through Europe and back again, Abbas Khider deftly blends the tragic with the comic, and the grotesque with the ordinary, in order to tell the story of suffering the real and brutal dangers of life as a refugee--and to remember the haunting faces of those who did not survive the journey. This is a stunning piece of storytelling, a novel of unusual scope that brings to life the endless cycle of illegal entry and deportation that defines life for a vulnerable population living on the margins of legitimate society. Translated by Donal McLaughlin, The Village Indian provides what every good translation should: a literary looking glass between two cultures, between two places, between East and West.
