Product description

»Wir reisen mit den Augen von klugen Frauen durch das vielleicht schönste Land der Welt. Rein damit in den Ferienkoffer!« ELKE HEIDENREICH

Eine zeitgemäße Neuinterpretation des Dolce Vita - aus Sicht der Frauen

Italien fasziniert seit jeher, viele Schriftsteller und Gelehrte haben ihre Eindrücke von Land und Leuten zum Besten gegeben, allen voran Goethe. Die Liste ist lang und reicht von den Reisenden der Grand Tour bis heute, von Michel de Montaigne über Lord Byron bis Sigmund Freud und Rolf Dieter Brinkmann. Doch wie sieht das Land aus, wenn einmal nicht die Männer erzählen, sondern die Frauen zu Wort kommen? Welche Bilder und Geschichten rücken dann in den Vordergrund, wie verändert sich der vielbeschworene Sehnsuchtsort? Entstanden ist eine vielstimmige, weibliche Reiseverführung, die auf unbekannte Pfade führt und zu scheinbar vertrauten Orten, die plötzlich doch in völlig neuem Licht erscheinen. Ein überraschend anderer, sinnlicher Blick auf eine Lebensart, die der Neuentdeckung harrt.

Das neue "Delfi. Magazin für neue Literatur" hält sein Versprechen: Sowohl die Beiträge sind thematisch vielfältig, als auch die Auswahl der aktuellen literarischen Stimmen der deutschsprachigen und internationalen Literatur. Ein gelungener Versuch das Medium neu zu beleben.
Und der Wechsel in der Form ist überzeugend zwischen Prosa, Lyrik, Comic und Interview.
Ist ein Autor:innen-Leben eigentlich ohne die Lektüre von Franz Kafka möglich (und sinnvoll)? Die über 20 Beiträge dieses Bandes vermitteln den Leser:innen, dass es ohne ihn gar nicht geht. Und auch mein Leseleben hätte mit Abzug dieses vor 100 Jahren verstorbenen Autors anders ausgesehen. Ohne ihn wäre ich nicht zu Haruki Murakami oder Robert Gwisdek gekommen, hätte magisch-realistische Romane vielleicht anders (oder gar nicht?) rezipiert. Mit der Kafka-Brille ergab alles plötzlich viel mehr Sinn. Die Anthologie beweist aufs Beste, dass eben noch nicht alles gesagt und geschrieben wurde zum Werke Kafkas. Egal welche Erzählung, welchen Briefwechsel, welchen der unvollendeten Romane man anschaut - es gibt Jahr um Jahr neues zu erforschen. Egal, ob die Autor:innen dieses Bandes ihre eigene Schreibbiographie anhand von Kafka-Lektüren nachzeichnen oder ganz genau an einen Text herantreten, es macht als Kafka-Begeisterte Freude daran teilzuhaben. Im Kopf geblieben sind mir Isabelle Lehn, die über die Tagebücher schrieb und den Trost des Alleinseins mit sich und seinen Gedanken. Esther Kinsky nähert sich bspw. ebenfalls über die Tagebücher und Sasha Marianna Salzmann widmet sich einer queeren Lesart in der "Beschreibung eines Kampfes". Spannende Ansätze - und fragte man mich, hätte ich wohl über einen von Kafkas Tiertexten schreiben wollen - über seinen "Bericht für eine Akademie".
Wenn ich ehrlich sein soll, war ich nicht sonderlich begeistert über die Auswahl der Geschichten in dieser neuen Anthologie. "Auf dem Friedhof", "Die Mondfinsternis", "Statistik" & "Gejammer" sind vier wunderbar illustre Kurztexte, die hier überzeugen durch Tschechows Witz.
Die Langerzählungen über unglückliche Liebe(n) oder Affären reizten mich leider nicht: weder "Ariadna" noch "Späte Blumen" überzeugten. Das Sujet von Ariadna ist in "Die Dame mit dem Hündchen" so viel besser umgesetzt.
Tschechow als Beobachter der widrigen Zustände in der russischen Landbevölkerung, die Verarmung des Adels, der Standesdünkel ist nach wie vor gut porträtiert, aber der Band machte so gar keine Lust auf mehr. Bin etwas ratlos, was die Intention dieser Zusammenstellung war. (Unglückliche) Liebesgeschichten sind außerdem nicht Tschechows größte Stärke. Ach.
Insgesamt eine richtig schöne Anthologie, in der das Thema "Gefühle" aber wohl vorherrschender ist als der "Frühling". Blühende Landschaften und Gärten gibt es aber trotz allem hier und da zu erlesen und man kann den Kopf ruhig auch komplett literarisch ins Grüne tauchen bei Bedarf.
Trotz der Reichhaltigkeit anderer Bände mit Tschechow-Erzählungen, die ich in den letzten Jahren las, waren in dieser neuen Anthologie doch reichlich Texte dabei, die mir noch unbekannt waren. Ebenso große Freude machte aber auch das erneute Lesen bestimmter Werke, bspw. "Der schwarze Mönch", "Der Literaturlehrer", "Verotschka" und "Auf dem Fuhrwerk".
Die Mischung in diesem Band gelingt im Übrigen gar nicht so schlecht: es werden kurze heitere Erzählungen aus dem Frühwerk sehr passend mit etwas umfangreicheren eher tragischen Geschichten abgewechselt. Tschechow bekommt von mir ohnehin fast immer eine Empfehlung!
Whoa. What a devastating read! A dystopia in the darkest sense of the word - without a happy ending whatsoever (that's how I interpret it at least).
A must-read classic.

You'll never think of rats the same way again!

It's admittedly slightly too late for this recommendation, but then again the Italian April is arguably more equal to the German May. An absolutely delightful holiday novel about four women escaping to a romantic Italian castle for some time to themselves - only to be literally spellbound by it. Read it for the lush Italian gardens and the irresistible spring airs - maby skim over some of the more dated romantic version of musical chairs.
"Meine stille Nacht. 12 Geschichten vom Werden" versammelt Kurzgeschichten über besonders prägende Momente oder Lebensereignisse. Das Schreiben und ein Nachdenken während der Nacht ist den Texten gemein. Die Episoden sind thematisch breit gefächert und beschäftigen sich mit Momenten, die ein besonderes literarisches Innehalten in der Stille auslösten: Die Verantwortung für den richtigen Kindesnamen (Streeruwitz), den Unterschied zwischen Glauben und Wissen (Birnbacher), über Trauer und Sehnsucht (Ani), über Perseiden und Mauersegler (Wonneberger), und viele mehr (Schami, Grjasnowa, Franzobel,...). Literarische Impressionen für ruhige Momente.

Jane Austen is a writer ruined by TV adaptation (before you all start writing letters, I know there are good ones). Despite two centuries of inclusion in the canon, there are still many (and I am afraid they are mostly men) who dismiss her as 'frivolous', 'saccharine' or 'unserious'. This means it is only worth continuing to discuss Austen with people if they either don't use any of the aforementioned adjectives or if, by the latter, they mean, she is one of the funniest writers in English (full stop). If you don't know this already, the first page of 'Persuasion' will convince you, and then her biting, satirical commentary on Georgian society will show you that far from reverently writing about it out of admiration, she irreverently lambasts it and its eccentric snobbish hierarchy (people who write her off will probably say John Oliver likes Trump because both wear suits). If you don't believe me (and even if you do), read her (and start with 'Persuasion') before you watch her.
A short and comparatively easy-to-read British classic from 1886 about the duality of human nature. Stephenson's linguistic eloquence is a pleasure to consume!

A classic I ran across on my neverending to-read pile and finished within a few hours. The simple writing style made it enjoyable and easy to read, even if it was first published in 1900 and the language is somewhat rigid. It becoming a classic is well deserved - though I must say I'm not interested in the volumes that follow after this first one.
