Ich gebe mir allergrößte Mühe. Ich beobachte Plastiktüten, die vom Wind unberechenbar geführt werden. Ich sehe Hunden beim Spielen zu. Limonade, die ich trinke, enthält 30 Prozent weniger Zucker. Ich fege die Dachgeschosswohnung und höre dabei Cigarettes After Sex. Vom Sonnenuntergang mache ich mehrere Aufnahmen. Um auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben, wähle ich in der Mediathek die Sendung Das war der Tag. Zum Abendessen zünde ich eine Kerze an. Routinen, das wurde mir mehrfach versichert, Routinen seien ein wichtiger Baustein der Selbstfürsorge.
Memories get layered with some more blurry than the others. Some are like people dressed into bringht raincoats, others blend in with the grey street landscape. This book portrays a selection of situations that happened to me or because of me and have been imprinted in my memory in sharp detail. Most of the situations described were considered problematic or dramatic to some degree, once occured. However, not serious enough to be referred to as even first world problems, that ́s why I came up with the term "zero-world problems". Hope you enjoy these short stories and maybe even discover something new about the world and yourself between the lines.
What if nature had a voice, a language of its own that goes unheard due to our human blindspot? This volume gathers thirteen stories that invite us to explore the intricate dance of life unfolding all around us, hidden within our daily interactions. In each story, we'll encounter the science and spirit of the natural world, brought to life through rich descriptions that blur the lines between the human and the nonhuman. As you turn the pages, you'll find yourself drawn into a realm where rocks, winds, birds, crickets, fire, and water each carry their unique narratives, interwoven with the human experience. "Voices of Nature" extends an invitation to perceive the world anew, to attune our senses to the tales whispered by nature. It's an opportunity to contemplate existence from the standpoint of a thing, transcending mere humanity. What is it like to be a thing? Prepare to embark on a transformative journey that highlights the profound connections that exist between all living things.

A wide-ranging and appreciative literary history of the castaway tale from Defoe to the present Ever since Robinson Crusoe washed ashore, the castaway story has survived and prospered, inspiring a multitude of writers of adventure fiction to imitate and adapt its mythic elements. In his brilliant critical study of this popular genre, Christopher Palmer traces the castaway tales' history and changes through periods of settlement, violence, and reconciliation, and across genres and languages. Showing how subsequent authors have parodied or inverted the castaway tale, Palmer concentrates on the period following H. G. Wells's The Island of Dr. Moreau. These much darker visions are seen in later novels including William Golding's Lord of the Flies, J. G. Ballard's Concrete Island, and Iain Banks's The Wasp Factory. In these and other variations, the castaway becomes a cannibal, the castaway's island is relocated to center of London, female castaways mock the traditional masculinity of the original Crusoe, or Friday ceases to be a biddable servant. By the mid-twentieth century, the castaway tale has plunged into violence and madness, only to see it return in young adult novels—such as Scott O'Dell's Island of the Blue Dolphins and Terry Pratchett's Nation—to the buoyancy and optimism of the original. The result is a fascinating series of revisions of violence and pessimism, but also reconciliation.
Wildly comic, erotic, and perverse, Rikki Ducornet’s dazzling novel, Phosphor in Dreamland, explores the relationship between power and madness, nature and its exploitation, pornography and art, innocence and depravity. Set on the imaginary Caribbean island of Birdland, the novel takes the form of a series of letters from a current resident to an old friend describing the island’s seventeenth-century history that brings together the violent Inquisition, the thoughtless extinction of the island’s exotic fauna, and the amorous story of the deformed artist-philosopher-inventor Phosphor and his impassioned, obsessional love for the beautiful Extravaganza. The Jade Cabinet, Ducornet’s novel that was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, was described by one reviewer as “Jane Austen meets Angela Carter via Lewis Carroll.” Phosphor in Dreamland can be described as Jonathan Swift meets Angela Carter via Jorge Luis Borges. This is Ducornet at her magical best.
