Felix Philipp Ingold, Gegengabe: Felix Philipp Ingold is author, translator and literary scholar all in one with a respectable body of work in all of these disciplines. His opulent volume «Gegengabe» (A Gift in Return) testifies this. In this book, Ingold appears as both a passionate and critical worker of words. He reflects on the craft of literature, on readings and he shares excerpts of his poetic creations. In long essays about Samuel Becket, about the «treason» of translation or about poetic «language design» he reveals himself as being a precise analyst for whom reading-writing-thinking forms an indivisible entity. One does not need to agree with him all the time, his arguments call for respect even where they provoke objection. Ingold’s unconditional preference is Classic Modernism. Between essays, poems and aphorisms the reader also gets a glimpse of more personal aspects in the form of dream scenes or walks around the quaint area of his residence in Romainmôtier. «Gegengabe» is an opalescent, stimulating and personal book of many forms. Page after page it awaits with poems, essayistic observations and remarkable anecdotes, thereby developing a strict poetic in which we can recognise the author himself.

Carole Allamand, La plume de l’ours: The Camille Duval case has kept the literary world busy for some fifty years now. No-one has been able to explain why this highly successful Swiss writer emigrated to the USA after the mysterious death of his wife and the unusual move by the Catholic Church in 1948 to censor one of his novels and put it on the Index of banned books. And how was it that, after a twelve years’ silence, he was suddenly once again the man of the moment? How did he manage so radically to renew his style? How did he become the literary genius, which changed the novel for all time?

Arno Camenisch, The Alp: Marvelling at the beauty of the mountain scenery, the tourists hike past the Alpine chalet in their red socks, stopping to take photos of the Alpine herdsman standing outside. Cleaning their hiking boots in the fountain, they do not think that the fountain is here for more than just decoration. During the summer four Alpinists share this mountain lodge and the work on the Alp Stavonas at the foot of Piz Sez Ner. It is obvious who is in charge among the men. This is repeatedly confirmed by visitors from the lower valley: they even enjoy a drink with the head farmer, yet shake the hand of his assistant, slap the cowherd on the shoulders and nod to the swineherd. This seems to be the right order of things.
