W. Shakespeare (Author), Harold Bloom (ed.) Illustrator: NA: The Tempest: (Viva Modern Critical Interpretations) Viva Books 2007 ISBN: 9788130904627

New Softcover NA We want caliban to be left behind in what is, after all, his own place, but shakespeare neither indulges nor denies our desires. If Prospero is at last a kind of benign logo (an impossible oxymoron) , then calibanaEUR s recalcitrances finally look like an idiosyncratic rebellion of actor against playwright, creature against demiurge. A warm monster is dramatically more sympathetic than a cold magus, but that simplistic differences does not explain away the enigma of caliban. VIVA MODERN CRITICAL INTERPRETATIONS presents the best current criticism on the most widely read and studied poems, novels and dramas of the Western world, from Oedipus Rex and the Iliad to such modern and contemporary works as William FaulkneraEUR s The Sound and the Fury and Don DelilloaEUR s White Noise.

Torberg, Peter/Hyland, Adrian: Kaltes Feuer Ein neuer Fall für Emily Tempest. Deutsche Erstausgabe, SUHRKAMP, 120 ISBN: 351846213X
Emily Tempest ist zurück in Moonlight Downs. Hier im Outback Australiens wurde sie geboren, als Tochter einer Aborigine und eines Weißen. Sie kennt die Welt der Blackfellers und der Whitefellers, wie sie hier heißen, doch in keiner fühlt sie sich wirklich zuhause. Nun soll ausgerechnet sie als Hilfspolizistin zwischen diesen Welten vermitteln. Als der Geologe Doc, ein alter Freund ihres Vaters, tot aufgefunden wird, stellt Emily gegen den Willen ihrer Vorgesetzten Nachforschungen an. Sie glaubt nicht, daß Doc das Opfer eines tödlichen Streits geworden ist, und findet bald heraus, daß er einer großen Sache auf der Spur war.Vor Jahren hatte Emily Tempest ihre Aborigine-Gemeinde verlassen, um die Welt zu sehen. Jetzt ist sie zurück im Outback - und arbeitet ausgerechnet für die Polizei. Gleich an ihrem ersten Arbeitstag wird sie mit dem Tod eines alten Freundes konfrontiert. Alle glauben, daß er von einem Betrunkenen erschlagen worden ist. Doch die Steinskulptur im Garten des Toten erzählt eine andere Geschichte. Und Emily geht ihr auf den Grund."So vielschichtig und überraschend, wie man es sich nur wünschen kann. ... [Emily Tempest] ist als Serienfigur angelegt, und es wird eine Freude sein, mehr von ihr zu lesen. Denn Hyland schreibt rasant und witzig und hat dabei immer die Poesie der - oft genug kaputten - Landschaft im Blick. Er eröffnet dem Leser ein neues, unbekanntes Australien, und es fühlt sich bei allem Dreck, allem Elend und aller Gewalt doch irgendwie richtig an, was er schreibt."Henrike Heiland, Focus online
