Stavans Unbound
Twenty-five years ago, Ilan Stavans published his first book, Imagining Columbus: The Literary Voyage (1993). Since then, Stavans has become a polarizing figure, dismissed and praised in equal measure, a commanding if contested intellectual whose work as a cultural critic has been influential in the fields of Latino and Jewish studies, politics, immigration, religion, language, and identity. He can be credited for bringing attention to Jewish Latin America and issues like Spanglish, he has been instrumental in shaping a certain view of Latino Studies in universities across the United States as well abroad, he has anthologized much of Latino and Latin American Jewish literature and he has engaged in contemporary pop culture via the graphic novel. He was the host of a PBS show called Conversations with Ilan Stavans, and has had his fiction adapted into the stage and the big screen. The man, as one critic stated, clearly has energy to burn and it does not appear to be abating. This collection celebrates twenty-five years of Stavans's work with essays that describe the good and the bad, the inspired and the pedestrian, the worthwhile and the questionable.

Stasi
The East German Ministry of State Security, popularly known as the Stasi, was one of the largest and most intrusive secret police systems in world history. So extensive was the system of surveillance and control that in any given year throughout the 1970s and 1980s, about one in fifty of the 13 million East German adults were working for the Stasi either as an officer or as an informer.Drawing on original sources from the Stasi archives and the recollections of contemporary witnesses, The Stasi: Myth and Reality reveals the intricacies of the relationship between the Stasi enforcers, its agents and its targets/victims, and demonstrates how far the Stasi octopus extended its tentacles into people’s lives and all spheres of society.The origins and developments of this vast system of repression are examined, as well as the motivation of the informers and the ways in which they penetrated the niches of East German society. The final chapters assess the ministry’s failure to help overcome the GDR’s inherent structural defects and demonstrate how the Stasi’s bureaucratic procedures contributed to the implosion of the Communist system at the end of the 1980’s.

Michael Stavarič & Renate Habinger Gaggalagu Ein Kinderbuch / Un libro per bambini; Übersetzt und bearbeitet von Rossella Pugliese / a cura e con traduzione di Rossella Pugliese
Michael Stavarič, der österreichische Autor mit tschechischer Herkunft verdient es, nicht nur deutschlandweit mit seiner interkulturellen Literatur bekannt zu sein. Diese Übersetzung soll dem italienischsprachigen Publikum - auch mittels einer multimedialen Edition - einen besseren Zugang zu seinem Kinderbuch Gaggalagu ermöglichen. Interkulturalität, Sprach- und Kulturtransfer im Kontext von Mehrsprachigkeit aus sprach-, bzw. literaturwissenschaftlicher und translatologischer Perspektive stehen im Fokus der Betrachtungen. Michael Stavarič, autore austriaco di origine ceca e la sua letteratura intercul-turale meritano di essere conosciuti anche oltre i confini dei paesi di lingua tedesca. Questa traduzione intende rendere più accessibile a un pubblico di lingua italiana - anche grazie ad un'edizione multimediale - il suo libro per bambini Gaggalagu. Al centro delle considerazioni sono, da un punto di vista linguistico, letterario e traduttologico, l'interculturalità e il transfer linguistico e culturale in contesto multilingue.

Stasi
The Stasi were among the most successful security and intelligence services in the Cold War. Behind the Berlin Wall, colleagues, friends, husbands and wives, informed on each other. Stasi chief, General Mielke, prided himself on this situation. Under Marcus Wolf, Stasi agents were spectacularly successful in gaining entry into the West German Establishment and NATO. Some remain undiscovered. Now, for the first time in English, two British experts reveal how the Stasi operated. Based on a wealth of sources, including interviews with former Stasi officers and their victims, the book tells a fascinating yet frightening story of unbridled power, misguided idealism, treachery, widespread opportunism and lonely courage.

Stasi
This book is a fascinating new examination of one of the most feared and efficient secret services the world has ever known, the Stasi.The East German Stasi was a jewel among the communist secret services, the most trusted by its Russian mother organization the KGB, and even more efficient. In its attempt at ‘total coverage’ of civil society, the Ministry for State Security came close to realizing the totalitarian ideal of a political police force. Based on research in archival files unlocked just after the fall of the Berlin Wall and available to few German and Western readers, this volume details the Communist Party’s attempt to control all aspects of East German civil society, and sets out what is known of the regime’s support for international terrorism in the 1970s and 1980s.STASI will be of much interest to students of intelligence studies, German politics and international relations.
