Homens de ferro, Mulheres de pedra é um livro sobre a luta incessante por liberdade de africanos que foram tornados escravos ainda na África e transportados para o Novo Mundo. Trata-se de um conjunto de historias sobre persistencia, força, paixes e recomeços, que conferiram aos sujeitos analisados a natureza de ferro ou pedra, permitindo, assim, suportar a longa travessia do Atlantico ate a fronteira oeste da America portuguesa e depois seguir America espanhola adentro.Nesta obra, o leitor e convidado a conhecer a complexidade do mundo escravista do Atlantico Sul, povoado por diferentes personagens e espaços. Ganham presença nas suas paginas comerciantes portugueses e brasileiros, pombeiros, sertanejos, chefes africanos, indigenas, quilombolas, itinerarios comerciais que ligavam o Rio de Janeiro ao Mato Grosso, atravessando territorios de indigenas Paiaguas, alem das rotas de fuga para floresta densa ou territorio espanhol, especialmente Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Sequestro de navio negreiro, confrontos, alianças entre chefes africanos e portugueses ou negros escravizados e indigenas e insurreiço urbana so apenas alguns dos casos que aparecem ao longo das paginas que compem o livro.A importancia desta publicaço no se deve somente ao fato de fazer coro com os esforços nacionais para divulgaço da historia e cultura afro-brasileira, mas, sobretudo, porque parte do pressuposto de que as desigualdades raciais no Brasil so podero ser superadas se inicialmente conhecermos a propria historia dos afro-brasileiros que aqui viveram como escravos e lutaram pela liberdade.Ademais, trata-se de um livro endereçado tanto para pesquisadores interessados em compreender o sistema escravista arquitetado entre o continente africano e a America portuguesa, como tambem para todo e qualquer brasileiro que tenha anseio em se familiarizar com as proprias raizes historicas e culturais. Esperamos que nossos homens e mulheres de ferro e pedra possam fazer o leitor olhar para historia brasileira de outro angulo, do ponto de vista daqueles que se levantaram contra a escravido e a ela resistiram.

Drawing on profound insights into the transformational journey of socio-cultural change in East Germany after unification, Tobias Lehmann presents inspiring and thought-provoking interpretations of two novels by Ingo Schulze, a work by Thomas Brussig, and the memoirs of Jana Hensel and Sabine Rennefanz. He skillfully weaves the immediate historical context into the fabric of these fictional narratives, revealing the profound connections between literature and the social landscape. Lehmanns interpretations emanate from his belief that literary analysis can illuminate the intricate ties between literary works and the realities of human experience, making this subject all the more significant in light of the persistent tendencies toward rightwing politics characterized by bitterness and blame in East Germany.Throughout the book, particularly in the epilogue, the author emphasizes that grasping the deep-seated resentment driving these developments calls for an exploration of the collective feelings of uprooting and disorientation experienced by East Germans. One of the notable strengths of this work is its introduction of significant contemporary German novels to English-speaking audiences, many of which have remained untranslated for years, aside from Schulzes debut "Simple Storys".

Non passa quasi giorno senza che qualcuno si senta in dovere di scagliare la propria pietra contro I promessi sposi. Chi lo fa, per lo piu non sa che e una storia lunga, cominciata con Carducci e proseguita da tanti epigoni, ormai sepolti nelloblio. I piu zelanti denigratori dei Promessi sposi, spiace dirlo, sono alcuni professori: come quelli che, pensando di essere originali, fecero scrivere alle loro classi una lettera a Calvino e a Camilleri, per vantarsi che avevano sostituito la lettura del romanzo di Manzoni con quella di un loro libro. Credevano di raccogliere gli applausi certamente dovuti a unoperazione cosi intellettualmente coraggiosa e allavanguardia e, chissa, forse anche un po di gloria: ma sia Calvino sia Camilleri risposero sconfessando la scelta e dichiarando, luno che I promessi sposi sono un romanzo che accompagna per tutta la vita, laltro che sono il piu grande romanzo del Novecento. Piu recentemente, e giunto lo stimolante invito di Umberto Eco a leggerlo di nascosto, come fosse un libro proibito. Se aggiungessi che papa Francesco lo tiene sul comodino e lo ha letto tre volte, sarebbe facile dire che lo apprezza perche e cattolico; ma la concordanza di pareri tra un papa e tre grandi scrittori e intellettuali non cattolici dovrebbe far riflettere chi ha ancora limpudenza di sostenere che I promessi sposi vanno tolti dalla scuola. Dopo aver ricordato che si tratta di una lettura non obbligatoria, bisogna avere il coraggio di affermare che escluderli dalla scuola sarebbe una operazione reazionaria, classista e colpevole, perche priverebbe i nostri giovani di un capolavoro. (...) In questo inserto intendiamo offrire alcuni spunti che la recentissima critica manzoniana ha scoperto o riscoperto e che dimostrano la straordinaria modernita di un libro che non vuole saperne di invecchiare. Chiede solo di essere letto senza pre-giudizi: questa e forse loperazione piu difficile. In libreria ce un romanzo nuovo: I promessi sposi. Vecchi sono gli occhiali con cui tante volte lo leggiamo.

Als Schafter bin ich von meiner Fahigkeit als Schutze abhangig, um meinen Job korrekt zu machen. Es nutzt die beste Schaftbettung nichts, wenn ich nicht verifizieren kann, ob sie so gut ist, wie ich glaube, dass sie es ist. Auch muss ich an meinen Schussbildern erkennen, was ich an der Waffe zu verandern habe, weshalb diese so prazise wie nur moglich sein mussen. Wir sind aber alle Menschen und weit weg von perfekt und somit der Hauptfeind der Prazision. Unsere Reflexe sind mies, unser Hirn ein langsamer Idiot und unsere Sinne spielen uns jede Menge Streiche. Wir mussen also unsere Fehlerquellen kennen und Wege finden, sie weitgehend zu eliminieren, oder zu umgehen, damit sie der Prazision der Waffe nicht im Weg stehen.Genau um diese Fusion zwischen Mensch und Waffe, geht es hier in der Hauptsache. Aber auch um Physik, Technik und Wissenswertes rund um die Waffe. Keine Tabellen und Schemata, die gerade mal ein Physiker, oder Ballistiker versteht, sondern nur das, was fur euch wichtig ist um die Systematik des Schieens in der Praxis zu verstehen. Aber eben nicht nur ein "Wie", sondern ein detailliertes "Warum" ihr es so machen solltet.

"Ich wollte nichts Schlechtes schreiben" gibt allen historisch Interessierten einen authentischen Einblick in den deutschen Alltag der schicksalhaften Jahre 1906 bis 1949. Luise Teichmuller, Ur-Gromutter der Herausgeberin und Ehefrau von Wilhelm Teichmuller, Redaktionsleiter der Neuruppiner Markische Zeitung, halt in unregelmaigen Abstanden die Entwicklungsschritte ihrer Kinder Hilde und Gunther sowie ihrer neun Enkelkinder fest, immer vor der zeitgeschichtlichen Kulisse ihrer Epoche. Teichmullers Aufzeichnungen sind in erster Linie sehr privater Natur, wenn es darum geht, wie ihre Schutzlinge laufen und sprechen lernen, wie Krankheiten und Unfalle uberwunden werden oder Feiertage begangen werden. Gleichzeitig lassen sie uns teilhaben am burgerlichen Leben einer Neuruppiner Mittelstands-Familie und an den einfachen Verhaltnissen in einem mecklenburg-vorpommerschen Dorfpastorat, in das ihre Tochter Hilde einheiratet.Besondere Herausforderungen stellen die Entbehrungen der Kriegs- und Nachkriegsjahre dar. Gunthers Schilderung, wie er die Verkostigung bei einem Schulkameraden auf dem Lande genossen hat ("wie im Schlaraffenland, wie Frieden"), zeigt, mit welchen knappen Ressourcen die Familie wahrend des Ersten Weltkriegs in der Stadt uberleben musste. Der Zweite Weltkrieg fordert dann auch nahe personliche Opfer: Der in der Nahe von Paris stationierte Soldat Gunther wird im August 1944 auf einer Urlaubsreise Richtung Heimat gemeinsam mit seiner frisch angetrauten Braut bei einem Fliegerangriff auf den Zug verschuttet. Nur wenige Tage vor dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs wird seine Schwester Hilde zur Witwe, als ein marodierender Russe Joachim Pfannschmidt im Pfarrhaus erschiet. Die Eltern Luise und Wilhelm wollen ihrer Tochter, nun allein mit den insgesamt 9 Kindern, zur Hilfe eilen. Fur die eigentlich 5-stundige Reise von Neuruppin ins vorpommersche Gro-Kiesow brauchen die Eltern Luise und Wilhelm knapp 6 Tage - immer auf der Suche nach Essbarem und auf der Hut vor feindlich gesinnten Soldaten, die auch Zivilisten nicht schonen. Deutsche Geschichte, hautnah geschildert von einer Mutter und Gromutter, besonders emotional erschutternd durch die zeitliche Nahe im Moment der Aufzeichnungen.
