Desdemona

Othello

Deutsch von Frank Günther Mit einem Essay von Dieter Mehl »Es wäre einigermaßen ungeheuerlich, sich vorzustellen, daß dieses wunderschöne venezianische Mädchen sich in einen echten Neger verliebt« So unverhohlen rassistisch kommentierte der englische Romantiker Coleridge seinerzeit den 'Othello'. Was damals als »Schnitzer« des Autors Shakespeare angesehen wurde, die schwarze Haut des Helden, macht das Stück heute brandaktuell - die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Fremdenhaß. 'Othello' gehört auf den deutschen Bühnen zu den meistgespielten Dramen Shakespeares. Als Musterdrama der Eifersucht galt es schon immer: Othello, der edle schwarze General, erdrosselt seine große Liebe, die ihm frisch angetraute Senatorentochter Desdemona, weil sie ihn mit dem jungen Leutnant Cassio betrogen haben soll. So jedenfalls lauten die lügenhaften Einflüsterungen des machtgierigen Erzschurken Jago. Doch nicht so sehr die Psychologie dieses Hasses gibt heute zu denken, auchnicht das Animalische, das in den verletzten Gefühlen Othellos durchbricht; vielmehr faszinieren die Schattierungen im Umgang mit dem Rassenunterschied: sie reichen von Desdemonas liebendem Blick auf die »inneren Werte« über die kühle Vorurteilslosigkeit des Dogen bis hin zu Jagos rassistischer Hetze. Die Metaphorik von schwarz und weiß zieht sich leitmotivisch durch das Stück und stellt die »political correctness« des Übersetzers auch in Details auf eine harte Probe. Frank Günther in seinen »Anmerkungen«: »In 'Othello' bereitet ein einzelnes kleines Wort erhebliche Schwierigkeiten: the Moor. Weil es etwa angesichts des tradierten Untertitels 'Der Mohr von Venedig' nicht gut möglich ist, mit 'Der Schwarze von Venedig', 'Der Afrikaner von Venedig', 'Der Neger von Venedig', 'Venedigs schwarzer General' o.ä. zu übersetzen (weil auch das schon wieder Programm wäre!), so muß der anscheinend so einfache Untertitel als unübersetzbar entfallen.«

Beyond the Veil: Grey Wolves Series, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 505min

Though the Serbian pack has been brought to heel thanks to the downfall of their Alpha, the war is far from over. Desdemona, a witch of unfathomable power, has escaped the wolves' wrath, but she will not go quietly into the night. She takes refuge in a place where even the smallest sliver of light does not dare to enter. Though she had to flee, she has not given up on the treasure she wishes to acquire. Her depravity knows no bounds; she's even willing to search for the one who can assist her in opening a Veil that has not been opened in millennia - with good reason: the danger is incalculable. Meanwhile, there are major changes rippling through the Romanian Grey wolves. Decebel has become Alpha to the Serbian pack in an effort to begin to unite the Canis lupis species. Their numbers are dwindling in the wake of the shortage of true mates and lack of offspring. The wolves are beginning to lose faith and darkness seems to be crashing in on them from all sides. But the winds of change are blowing, changes that will alter the future of not only the Canis lupis, but of another ancient race as well. Amidst all of this, Sally is continuing to come to terms with her relationship with the playful, charming, flirty, unbelievably handsome bartender-who happens to be a member of the Romanian pack. If all that weren't enough, the Fates have decided to pay a little visit to Jen. It's time to collect. She cheated the Fates of a life, her life. Now they want what they are due. The problem? It's more than Jen is willing to pay. Yes, the war is indeed far from over. Bargains will be struck, declarations will be made, sacrifices will be given, love will be tested, and trust will be questioned as evil makes its stand against them all. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Sacrifice of Love: Grey Wolves Series, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 594min

As one evil falls, another rises in its place. The powerful witch Desdemona has finally been killed by an alliance of wolf, elf, and fae. But Reyaz, brother to Cypher the warlock king, has vowed retribution for a life that was taken from him. Now Cypher must decide not only how to protect his newfound mate and his people, but also how to destroy the only family he has left. Meanwhile, Jen's pregnancy progresses and the fateful due date draws ever nearer. The thought of losing Decebel's child constantly threatens to overwhelm her. With each passing day, Decebel grows more distant, causing Jen to wonder what toll the impending loss of their child is taking on him. Unbeknownst to Jen, in an act of desperation to protect his unborn child and mate, Decebel strikes a deadly bargain with the Great Luna - his life in place of his child's. There is only one way for that to happen - the bond between Jen and Decebel must be broken. As Jen as Decebel struggle through their darkness, another kind of darkness is infiltrating Fane's heart. Doubts and questions linger as he tries to cope with the emotions brought on in the aftermath of Desdemona's curse. He knows what happened wasn't real, but still he can't rid himself of the terrible images seared into his memory. Jacque is his light, the one who keeps the darkness at bay, yet he won't let her inside to do just that. Sally continues to learn what it means to be a gypsy healer and Costin struggles to protect her as she runs full speed ahead to help her wolves, heedless of her own safety. She sees her best friends struggling, each enduring their own trials. She's desperate to help them, but can she keep them safe? With all of these things hanging heavy over the heads of the Serbia and Romania packs, their attention is divided. The wolves do not even realize that a threat has slowly infiltrated their midst. Will they recognize the threat in time to save the lives that precariously hang in the balance? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Abby Craden.
