Vevi

Der Klassiker der österreichischen Jugendliteratur in neuem Gewand endlich wieder lieferbar! Vevi wächst nach dem Tod ihrer Eltern mit ihrem geliebten Bruder Christian bei der Tante auf. Viel zu streng sei die Tante, befindet Vevi, die - etwas verträumt und von unbändiger Neugierde getrieben - lieber Abenteuer im Wald erlebt als Hausaufgaben zu machen. Als Christian zum Studium nach Paris geht, treibt ihre Einsamkeit sie noch öfter hinaus zu den Pflanzen und Tieren. Der Tante ist das gar nicht recht. Da fügt es sich gut, dass die Maus Vevi eine Zauberwurzel schenkt, die sich auf Wunsch in eine Doppelgängerin verwandelt, die brav zu Hause lernt, während die aufgeweckte Vevi draußen die Welt entdeckt. Als sich die Doppelgängerin etwas später als gar nicht so brav, sondern als eher wild entpuppt und sogar zur Anführerin einer Räuberbande wird, entspinnt sich eine spannende und gar nicht ungefährliche Verfolgungsjad. Erica Lillegg galt als eine der innovavtivsten Kinderbuchautorinnen Europas, sie und Astrid Lindgren haben neue Wege eingeschlagen. Nicht zufällig gilt Lilleggs Vevi als österreichische Pippi Langstrumpf. 1955 ist 'Vevi' erstmals erschienen und war auf der Auswahlliste des Deutschen Jugendbuchpreises sowie auf der Ehrenliste des Internationalen Hans Christian Andersen Preises. Der Roman wurde in fünf Sprachen übersetzt. Jetzt ist der Klassiker der österreichischen Jugendliteratur in neuem Gewand und mit schwarz-weißen Illustrationen von Verena Hochleitner endlich wieder lieferbar. 'Nein, so was! denkt Vevi, ich bin ja sowieso zu Hause. Aber wieso bin ich denn doppelt?' Im Frähjahr 2027 wird 'Vevi' in einer Inszenierung am Theater der Judend in Wien zu sehen sein

Anthology of Black Humor

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Anthology of Black Humor is an anthology of 45 writers edited by André Breton. It was first published in 1940 in Paris by Éditions du Sagittaire and its distribution was immediately banned by the Vichy government. It got reprinted in 1947 after Breton's return from exile, with a few additions. In 1966, Breton, "having resisted the temptation to add more names", published the book again and called this edition "the definitive". The anthology not only introduced some until then almost unknown or forgotten writers, it also coined the term "black humor" (as Breton said, until then the term had meant nothing, unless someone imagined jokes about black people). The term became globally used since then. The choice of authors was done entirely by Breton and according to his taste which he explains in the Foreword (called The Lightning Rod, a term suggested by Lichtenberg), a work of great depth (Breton was the main theoretician of the Surrealist movement) that starts with contemplating Rimbaud¿s words "Emanations, explosions." from Rimbaud's last poem The barrack-room of night: Dream.
