About our publishing house and its program
We publish novels, art, photography and books "travelling between the cultures, between the languages, between the people": essays, poems, novels, short stories. We have series with literature from Japan (for example Mori Ogai and the famous contemporary writer Yoko Tawada), from the Canary Islands (for example the most famous writer in Canary Islands, Rafael Arozarena, and Sabas Martín) and from Korea (An Su Kil, Kim Young ha (fall 2010)). Some of the books we publish bilingual (chinese-german, japanese-german, spanish-german and one book in greek-german).
Since the founding of our publishing house in 1978 we publish books without restrictions concerning our range of topics. For example the annual "konkursbuch" has different themes which we try to approximate in all genres, this yearbooks contain graphics, paintings, photographs, science based texts, short stories, essays, lyrics, conversations. The last issues had have the subjects "Anxiety" (konkursbuch 46), "Gaze" (konkursbuch 47) "Family and family ties" (konkursbuch 48). The literary and photographic books contain fantasy and knowledge, dreams as well as everyday life, surrealism and erotic. The language of eroticism in our erotic books is mainly presented by women. Their "other" perspective on this subject can be found in the details of the particular works.
The books "between the cultures" often cover emigration, coming into another culture, communication in different languages, where misunderstandings and mistakes allow new meanings. This includes the relation between pictures and language. Also is important in this books the relationship of different political systems, sometimes cruel systems, and the possibility or impossibility of bodily affairs ... This books treat of unknown worlds in foreign countries but at the same time the german reader finds reationships to himself, can see the own culture with a new view.
Most books we design with little graphic surprises corresponding to the subject of the book and to the general principle of books: that you have to turn over pages.
