  • Nagroda Im. H. Ch. Andersena Nagroda
    Nagroda im. H. Ch. Andersena Nagroda za wybitne zasługi dla literatury dla dzieci i młodzieży Co dwa lata IBBY przyznaje autorom i ilustratorom książek dziecięcych swoje najwyższe wyróżnienie – Nagrodę im. Hansa Christiana Andersena. Otrzymują ją osoby żyjące, których twórczość jest bardzo ważna dla literatury dziecięcej. Nagroda ta, często nazywana „Małym Noblem”, to najważniejsze międzynarodowe odznaczenie, przyznawane za twórczość dla dzieci. Patronem nagrody jest Jej Wysokość, Małgorzata II, Królowa Danii. Nominacje do tej prestiżowej nagrody zgłaszane są przez narodowe sekcje, a wyboru laureatów dokonuje międzynarodowe jury, w którego skład wchodzą badacze i znawcy literatury dziecięcej. Nagrodę im. H. Ch. Andersena zaczęto przyznawać w 1956 roku, w kategorii Autor, a pierwszy ilustrator otrzymał ją dziesięć lat później. Na nagrodę składają się: złoty medal i dyplom, wręczane na uroczystej ceremonii, podczas Kongresu IBBY. Z okazji przyznania nagrody ukazuje się zawsze specjalny numer czasopisma „Bookbird”, w którym zamieszczane są nazwiska nominowanych, a także sprawozdanie z obrad Jury. Do tej pory żaden polski pisarz nie otrzymał tego odznaczenia, jednak polskie nazwisko widnieje na liście nagrodzonych. W 1982 roku bowiem Małego Nobla otrzymał wybitny polski grafik i ilustrator Zbigniew Rychlicki. Nagroda im. H. Ch. Andersena w 2022 r. Kolejnych zwycięzców nagrody im. Hansa Christiana Andersena poznamy wiosną 2022 podczas targów w Bolonii. Na długiej liście nominowanych, na której jest aż 66 nazwisk z 33 krajów – 33 pisarzy i 33 ilustratorów znaleźli się Marcin Szczygielski oraz Iwona Chmielewska. MARCIN SZCZYGIELSKI Marcin Szczygielski jest znanym polskim pisarzem, dziennikarzem i grafikiem. Jego prace były publikowane m.in. w Nowej Fantastyce czy Newsweeku, a jako dziennikarz swoją karierę związał również z tygodnikiem Wprost oraz miesięcznikiem Moje mieszkanie, którego był redaktorem naczelnym.

  • Books All Children Should Read – As Recommended by Michael Morpurgo
    Books all children should read – As recommended by Michael Morpurgo Early Years and KS1 The Twits, by Roald Dahl (Puffin, £4·99) Mr and Mrs Twit pass the time playing nasty tricks on one another. They're both horrid. In his hairy beard, Mr Twit "was always able to find a tasty morsel to nibble on". Burglar Bill, by Janet and Allan Ahlberg (Puffin, £4·99) "I'll 'ave that," is the catchphrase of the rogue who stars in this engaging and beautifully illustrated tale. When Bill accidentally burglarises a baby, it turns out to be a blessing in a stolen basket. "Runfrit, Boglaboll!" The Tiger Who Came To Tea, by Judith Kerr (HarperCollins, £5·99) The story of a tiger that eats its hosts out of house and home. Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak (Red Fox, £5·99) When Max engages in mischief, he is sent to bed without his supper. That's just the start. The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, by Beatrix Potter (Frederick Warne, £4.99) Tom Kitten learnt nothing from his parents about the consequences of curiosity. Abducted by a rat, he comes within a whisker of being turned into a pudding. Yertle the Turtle, by Dr Seuss (Collins, £4·99) Yertle, king of the pond, commands all the turtles to stack themselves up so he can be top of the heap. Someone's riding for a fall. Fungus the Bogeyman, by Raymond Briggs (Puffin, £5·99) What boy won't thrill to the world of the Bogeymen, all snot, armpits and boils? This gave Raymond Briggs's green crayon the workout of its life.

  • Gerlinde Steininger Befasst Sich in Ihrem Beitrag
    202 BUCHBESPRECHUNGEN Gerlinde Steininger befasst sich in ihrem Beitrag Die (Ohn)Macht der Zugehörigkeit: Das Werk von Viktoria Kocman mit einer Autorin der jüngeren Generation aus dem ehemaligen Jugoslawien (Belgrad), zu deren zentralen Themen die Migration sowie die Jugoslawienkriege gehören. In ihrem Werk werden die Zugehörigkeit zu einer Gemeinschaft und eine stabile Identität des Individuums als positive Werte betrachtet. Der folgende Beitrag Gender, Geschichte und Gewalt in der österreichischen Literatur russi- scher Migrantinnen von Natalia Shchyhlevska widmet sich den genderspezifischen Aspekten in den Romanen Studenten, Liebe, Tscheka und Tod (1931) von Alja Rachmanowa und Spaltkopf (2008) von Julya Rabinowich. In den Romanen werden ganz unterschiedliche Verhaltensmuster weiblicher Gewaltopfer gezeigt: Gewalt gegen andere (Rachmanowa) und Gewalt gegen sich selbst (Rabinowich). Mit Julya Rabinowich beschäftigt sich auch Monika Riedel in ihrem Beitrag Frau – Migration – Identität. Julya Rabinowichs Roman Die Erdfresserin. Der Beitrag untersucht am Beispiel des genannten Romans (2012) die Identitätssuche einer Migrantin im Spannungsfeld von Ethnizität, Kultur, Geschlecht und Klasse. Im vorletzten Beitrag Angekommensein ist Unterwegssein. Zur Neudeutung der Begriffe „Flucht“ und „Wohnen“ bei Fred Wander befasst sich Silvia Ulrich mit dem 1917 in Wien als Sohn ostjüdischer Auswanderer aus Galizien geborenen Autor und v. a. seinen Hotelromanen. Wan- ders literarisches Werk prägt ein neuer Humanismus: Koexistenz von Sein und Anderssein, von einheimisch und fremd. Es wird gezeigt, dass sich Wanders Ethik teils mit Adornos Ethik-Begriff der ,Minima Moralia‘, teils mit Heideggers Kritik des Humanismus deckt. Im letzten Beitrag „wir haben ein land aus worten“ – Semier Insayifs Roman Faruq widmet sich Anna Babka dem 1965 in Wien als Sohn einer österreichischen Mutter und eines irakischen Vaters geborenen Autor Semier Insayif und seinem Roman Faruq (2009), der v.
