Die Kurzprosa Ödön von Horváths, oft von den Dramen und Romanen überstrahlt, ist ein integraler Teil seines Gesamtwerks. Die "Sportmärchen", eine satirische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Massenphänomen des Sports wie der Märchengattung selbst, zählen zu seinen frühesten Arbeiten und wurden bald in angesehenen Zeitungen und Zeitschriften veröffentlicht. Sein bis 1933 entstandenes Kurzprosawerk zeigt Horváth als pointierten Zeitkritiker und Alltagsbeobachter. Es umfasst Kurz- und Kürzestgeschichten, Figurenportraits und ironische, an der Grenze von Fakt und Fiktion changierende Reiseberichte, die in einem oft engen textuellen Dialog mit seinem Roman "Der ewige Spießer" (1930) stehen. Horváths "Sportmärchen" und seine weitere Kurzprosa sind hier erstmals vollständig nach textkritischem Standard geprüft und im Kontext ihrer Textgenese ediert. Ergänzt wird der Band durch eine ebenfalls vollständige Edition seiner zu Lebzeiten Fragment gebliebenen Werkprojekte aus der Prosa. Sie reichen von frühen Überlegungen zu einem Novellenband (1927) über das Romanfragment "Himmelwärts" (1932/33) bis zu den Arbeiten an seinem letzten Roman "Adieu, Europa!" (1938) und bieten ein reichhaltiges Panorama der Arbeit Horváths als Prosaschriftsteller.

"I had a strong personal desire to illustrate Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Ugly Duckling,'" reflects pioneering performance artist Marina Abramović (born 1946). "As a young child and growing adolescent, I felt a complete identification with the story. I, too, was the ugly duckling." Andersen's story of the ugly duckling that endures torment and loneliness before becoming a beautiful swan has resonated with readers since it was first published in 1843. Now, in this beautiful new edition of the classic fairy tale, Abramović reimagines the story by adding new pen and crayon illustrations to the original text. This volume is the second publication in a series of Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales illustrated by contemporary artists, following the huge success of 2016's 'The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen & Yayoi Kusama.

A diverse new anthology that traces the meaning and magic of the sorcerer's apprentice tale throughout history. "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" might conjure up images of Mickey Mouse from the Disney film Fantasia, or of Harry Potter. As this anthology reveals, however, "sorcerer's apprentice" tales-in which a young person rebels against, or complies with, an authority who holds the keys to magical powers-have been told through the centuries, in many languages and cultures, from classical times to today. This unique and beautifully illustrated book brings together more than fifty sorcerer's apprentice stories by a plethora of writers, including Ovid, Sir Walter Scott, and the Brothers Grimm. From Goethe's "The Pupil in Magic" to A. K. Ramanujan's "The Guru and His Disciple," this expansive collection presents variations of a classic passed down through countries and eras.Readers enter worlds where household objects are brought to life and shape-shifting occurs from human to animal and back again. We meet two types of apprentice: "The Humiliated Apprentice," a foolish bumbler who wields magic ineffectively and promotes obedience to authority; and "The Rebellious Apprentice" who, through ambition and transformative skills, promotes empowerment and self-awareness. In an extensive introduction, esteemed fairy-tale scholar Jack Zipes discusses the significance and meaning of the apprentice stories, the contradictions in popular retellings, and the importance of magic as a tool of resistance against figures who abuse their authority. Twenty specially commissioned black-and-white illustrations by noted artist Natalie Frank bring the stories to visual life.The Sorcerer's Apprentice enlightens and entertains readers with enduring, spellbinding tales of sorcery that have been with us through the ages.
