2001BN7775Eichborn Verlag Ag 2001. 2001. Hardcover. 222 x 134 x 34 cm. In den Namen unserer Wochentage begegnen sie uns noch die alten nordischen GötterThor im Donnerstag Freia im Freitag Tyr im Dienstag. Dass all das was sie so trieben in irgendwelchen Werken namens Edda steht dürfte zumindest den versierteren Kreuzworträtsel-Lösern noch bekannt sein. Wie sich diese Geschichten aber tatsächlich anhören erzählt uns der norwegische Autor Tor Åge Bringsværd in seinem Buch Die wilden Götter. Dabei verlässt er die Versform seiner Vorlagen und entwickelt aus den zyklischen Einzelerzählungen -- ganz in der Tradition isländischer Dichtung -- seine eigene Prosaversion einer fortlaufenden nordischen Göttergeschichte. In leichtem bisweilen fast flapsigem Tonfall zieht uns der gelernte Religionswissenschaftler immer weiter in den Bann seiner Gestalten. Wir begleiten den grüblerischen Göttervater Odin auf seinem Weg gegen eigenes Unwissen bei hoffnungslosen Bändigungsversuchen seiner unberechenbaren Familienschar und in den Kampf gegen die bedrohlichen Trolle. Wir begegnen seinem kriegerischen Sohn Thor beim Hammerschwingen und in Frauenkleidern verfolgen atemlos die zahlreichen Abenteuer des schalkhaften aber auch tückischen Loki und die Ränke der verführerischen Freia. Wir sind zu Gast bei furchtbaren Riesen bei sehr kunstfertigen aber gierigen Zwergen und werden mit entsetzlichen Ungeheuern konfrontiert. Aus dieser Mischung ergibt sich eine unterhaltsame bisweilen komische immer jedoch spannende Lektüre die von allem ideologischen Ballast der jüngeren Vergangenheit befreit ist. Ein kommentiertes Namensregister im Anhang hilft beim Hangeln durch den -- in jeder Mythologie sehr dichten -- Namensdschungel ein kluges Nachwort der Übersetzerin umreißt die Entstehungs- und Überlieferungsgeschichte dieser wilden Göttersaga. Die aufwändig hergestellte von Johannes Grützke behutsam illustrierte Ausgabe im Rahmen der Anderen Bibliothek vervollständigt letztendlich den Eindruck eines rundum schönen Buches. Die Nacherzählung der Göttermythen aus der "Edda" des norwegischen Schriftstellers Tor Age Bringsvaerd geht in zweifacher Hinsicht über das Original hinaus so Hermann WallmannZum einen schreibe der Autor keine Nachdichtung sondern lege eine "prosaische Version" vor zum anderen gehe er mit dem Epos frei um womit er sich von philologischer Genauigkeit löse. Der Rezensent bedauert dass einige frühere Romane von Bringsvaerd vergriffen bzw. aufgrund des Desinteresses der Verlage gar nicht erst auf deutsch erschienen sind. Er lobt den Anspruch des Autors auf "Destabilisationsliteratur" die in den früheren Romanen ganz deutlich zu Tage trete. Das Nachwort verweist so Wallmann auf die Rezeptionsgeschichte der norwegischen Göttermythen die wie die Herausgeberin Tanaquil Enzensberger schreibt von Wagner umgedeutet wurden und auch von neofaschistischen Strömungen instrumentalisiert wurden. In seiner positiven Besprechung des Buches verweist Wallmann beharrlich auf eine "postmoderne Paraphrase" der nordischen SchöpfungsepenAuf H.C. Artmanns 1982 erschienenes Buch "Die Sonne war ein grünes Ei Von der Erschaffung der Welt und ihren Dingen". Wolfgang Müllers Rezension hat eine Vorgeschichteder Island-Experte der taz ersteigerte bei einem Berliner Antiquar ein vergilbtes Exemplar der ersten deutschen "Edda"-Übersetzung aus dem Isländischen die von einem gewissen Jacob Schimmelmann stammte und ein "abstrus-wirres Machwerk" war weil er u.a. das gute Stück von dem Vorwurf der Unchristlichkeit befreien musste. Müller berichtet auch von den nachfolgenden Übersetzungen die mal mehr und mal weniger das Germanentum in den Vordergrund stellten. Von der Vereinnahmung durch die Nazis habe sich das Werk bis heute nicht erholt stellt Müller fest weshalb er die Neuerzählung des altisländischen Mythenstoffes besonders begrüßt die den eigentlichen Anlass zu diesem Artikel gibtfrisch lebendig klar verflechte der norwegische Autor Bringsvaerd die komplizierten Erzählstränge der "Edda" mit ihren aberwitzigen Metamorphosen. "Die wilden Götter" haben ab jetzt einen Ehrenplatz in seinem Regal gleich neben der vergilbten "Edda" von Schimmelmann.

1980223104Unknown.: No publication details. circa1980. A poster with the image of an old man Lao Lai Zi outlined with white characters on a black background text in simplified Chinese characters 77 x 52.5cm small 1cm closed tear right edge and lower left corner repaired. In good condition with clear and well defined characters making the text easy to read. Lao Lai Zi a symbol of aging and filial piety is here represented in what appears to be a white line drawing on a black background. On closer inspection however the lines are made up of poignant and occasionally amusing rhyming verses listing the indignities of old age imploring the young not to look down on the elderly. <br> <br>The original stele carved with a similar image titled “Lao Lai Nan” Growing Old is Hard is located at the Temple of the Medicine King in Beipo village in Shaanxi Province. It isn’t known exactly when the Beipo stele was carved but it is said to be related to a Mrs Li who lived in the temple and wanted it carved to teach her unfilial children a lesson. The use of simplified characters and catchy verse written in modern Chinese indicate that it is a 20th century artefact. The Beipo stele includes smaller carvings of eight old people using sticks along the vertical edges. <br> <br>This poster is a modern artistic stone rubbing interpretation of the main visual feature on the Beipo stele i.e. the central figure outlined in characters in a pose and design similar to the original. A well known educational Chinese folk illustration “Lao Lai Nan” is a moral lesson on respect for the elderly. <br> <br>老来难， 老来难，劝人别把老人嫌， 当初嫌别人老，如今轮到我头前，千般苦， 万般难，听我从头说一番。耳聋难与人说话， 差七差八惹人嫌. … <br> <br>Getting old is hard it’s hard I urge you not to look down on the elderly. Earlier I despised others for being old but now that I’m facing it head on with a thousand kinds of troubles and difficulties listen to everything I say. <br>Being hard of hearing makes it difficult to communicate if you miss this or that you annoy people… <br> <br>… …痛苦难言聆，明不明睡不着， 一夜小便七八遍，怕夜长， 怕风寒， 时常受风病来缠 年老肺虚常咳嗽， 一口一口吐粘痰，儿女们都恨咱说，我邋遢不像前，老的这样还不死，你还想活多少年… … <br> <br>… It’s hard to explain all the difficulties one can’t sleep and every night one gets up to urinate seven or eight times. I hate long nights cold breezes and I get sick from being in draughts. My lungs are weak and I cough and cough and cough up phlegm so my children dislike talking to me. They seem to think I’m unkempt and don’t look like my former self. So old and still not dead how much longer am I planning to live . No publication details. unknown
