[ 10.08.09 ] In the end, the books were piled up on every available surface. On the couch, under the coffee table and, of course, on metres upon metres of shelving in the basement of the one-family house in Lochham, a suburb of Munich. Over decades, Georg Salzmann had collected all the books that had been blacklisted by the Nazis shortly after they seized power in 1933. On 10 May 1933, numerous public ... beri naprej
[ 31.07.09 ] When I was asked to write this article about China and how it will be the Guest of Honour at the next Frankfurt Book Fair in autumn 2009, I was sceptical. True, I have been to China - and Taiwan - even if just for a few weeks. For three years now, I’ve been studying the language, country, and culture - only to understand every week a bit more how little we actually know. Yet then I ... beri naprej
[ 25.07.09 ] The summer slump or rather ‘summer hole’, as it is called in German-speaking countries, is a period when there’s nothing more exciting to report than the proverbial sack of rice that has toppled over somewhere in China. The memory hole, on the other hand, is when Big Brother arranges for undesirable content to vanish into blissful oblivion. This is exactly what happened in mid-July with ... beri naprej
[ 13.07.09 ] The events of the 2009 Hebrew Book Month, which takes place every June, were especially stormy, though not necessarily for the right reasons. The general carnival atmosphere which always characterizes the plethora of events, lectures and meetings with authors was overshadowed by events that took place at the forefront of the major bookshops and behind the scenes of Israeli publishing. ... beri naprej
[ 06.07.09 ] Aren’t some people resourceful! While a number of multimedia researchers are still playing around with vooks, trying to figure out how to unite books and videos profitably, other inventors have created a brand new concept for electronic reading, namely, the ‘ Book2Look ’. What is an attractive and nicely-designed opportunity for publishers to give interested readers access to a few ... beri naprej
[ 28.06.09 ] Proverbs are little aids for all kinds of everyday situations. For example, when a person again forgets to congratulate a colleague or sweetheart in time for their birthday, he or she can nonchalantly claim ‘better late than never’. In this same vein - and while the readings for the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize at the 2009 Festival of German-Language Literature in Klagenfurt are in full ... beri naprej
[ 22.06.09 ] ‘We think we can vook any book,’ says Bradley Inman, an entrepreneur from Silicon Valley, who has registered a company under the new word ‘vook’. Roughly speaking, a vook combines a book or a text with a video, and a bit of social networking. Even if the inventors and ideologists of the vook are eager to push the cliché of it being ‘more than the sum of its parts’, and talk of ... beri naprej
[ 12.06.09 ] ‘Please use in well ventilated area. May cause dizziness and hallucinations. May cause itching and runny nose.’ The warnings printed on the new miracle remedy for the nostalgia of fashion-conscious consumers of literature are really quite something. Whoever wants to read beautifully must suffer, so the saying goes, and the same seems to be true of the latest achievement in e-book culture: ... beri naprej
[ 04.06.09 ] 2009 is another Galileo year. To be precise, Galileo Galilee made his first discoveries in astronomy exactly 400 years ago, and with them turned our view of the world, indeed, our civilisation, upside down. In Florence, this anniversary has become an opportunity to ponder the relationship between science and literature more deeply. The Italian Fondazione Rinascimento Digitale (Digital ... beri naprej
[ 28.05.09 ] The poet Carol Ann Duffy has just been appointed Britain’s first Scottish and female poet laureate . She is ‘thrilled’ to have been offered the position and has accepted purely because ‘they hadn’t had a woman’ before. It is the first time that the public has been invited to put forward names for the post to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The final choice lies ... beri naprej
