Eine hochdramatische Szene: Der Vater beugt sich über den wehrlosen Jungen, das Messer blitzt in seiner Hand - da befiehlt ihm im letzten Moment ein Engel, statt des eigenen Sohnes einen Widder zu opfern. Die biblische Geschichte von Abraham und Isaak ist bekannt. Dass sie dem Philosophen Kierkegaard eine schlaflose Nacht am Berliner Gendarmenmarkt bescherte, in deren Verlauf ihm eine göttliche Maus erschien, um Fragen der Barmherzigkeit zu erörtern - das weiß nur Sibylle Lewitscharoff. Was wiederum der Koran aus diesem Stoff macht, wie er Isaak auf einen der hinteren Ränge verweist und dafür Abrahams Erstgeborenen Ismail hervorhebt, davon erzählt uns Najem Wali. Von Abraham bis Eva, von Moses bis zum Satan: Neun Figuren aus Bibel und Koran haben die sprachmächtige Religionswissenschaftlerin Sibylle Lewitscharoff und der irakisch-deutsche Autor Najem Wali, "ein Freigeist und Moralist gleichermaßen" (Deutschlandfunk), ausgewählt. Deren Geschichten gehen die beiden aus ihrer je...

Aime Cesaire's masterpiece, Notebook of a Return to the Native Land, is a work of immense cultural significance and beauty. The long poem was the beginning of Cesaire's quest for negritude, and it became an anthem of Blacks around the world. With its emphasis on unusual juxtapositions of object and metaphor, manipulation of language into puns and neologisms, and rhythm, Cesaire considered his style a "beneficial madness" that could "break into the forbidden" and reach the powerful and overlooked aspects of black culture. Clayton Eshleman and Annette Smith achieve a laudable adaptation of Cesaire's work to English by clarifying double meanings, stretching syntax, and finding equivalent English puns, all while remaining remarkably true to the French text. Their treatment of the poetry is marked with imagination, vigor, and accuracy that will clarify difficulties for those already familiar with French, and make the work accessible to those who are not. An...
