"Never talk to strangers," says Mikhail Bulgakov in the opening chapter of "The Master and Margarita". "Never talk to strange women," we say in the latest installment of "Moonlit Tales of the Macabre", "especially if what they offer appears to be entirely outside of the realm of reality or sanity." Enjoy this new collection of strange and terrifying tales by Russian and Ukrainian authors, as they take you into the world of dark sorcery and mind-bending magic.

Songs inspire a melody of emotional responses. They conjure up memories of otherwise forgotten times, and moods swing from light to dark with their rhythm. Their lyrics evoke response, from being lost in that single moment to simply singing in the shower. This collection of stories inspired by songs has been created by WordPlay Writers' Forum, with its creation inspired and conducted by Maggie Chapman. You'll find some of the stories stick to their song's conventional tale, while others go way off the beaten track. Some draw on personal experiences, transporting their reader to a place of reverie and laughter, or simply persuade a subconscious moment deep in thoughts of what might have been. Come inside and lose yourself in the harmony between the written word and the song, and rediscover all of your "would haves, could haves, and should haves".

Das Interpretieren von Texten geh rt weiterhin zu den Hauptt tigkeiten der Literaturwissenschaften. Die vielf ltigen Infragestellungen, denen das Interpretieren in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten ausgesetzt war, haben an diesem Umstand kaum etwas ge ndert. Angesichts dieser fortdauernden Bedeutung erscheint auch die Reflexion auf diese T tigkeit als eine Aufgabe von unverminderter Aktualit t. Der vorliegende Band versammelt Beitr ge unterschiedlicher Disziplinen, die, dem sogenannten, practice turn' folgend, das Interpretieren literarischer Texte im Hinblick auf die ihm explizit oder implizit zugrundeliegenden theoretischen Annahmen, seine Methoden und insbesondere auch auf seine Praktiken reflektieren. Praktiken sind in diesem Verst ndnis routinef rmige T tigkeiten, die oftmals nicht durch explizierbare Regeln bestimmt sind, sondern in hohem Ma e auf implizitem Wissen und K nnen beruhen. Die historischen und systematischen Beitr ge loten aus, was und wie die Literaturwissenschaft f r eine Analyse ihrer Methoden und Heuristiken, ihrer Darstellungsformen und Praktiken der Wissensvermittlung von der Wissenschaftsforschung lernen kann.

The Nautical Magazine first appeared in 1832, and was published monthly well into the twenty-first century. It covers a wide range of subjects, including navigation, meteorology, technology and safety. An important resource for maritime historians, it also includes reports on military and scientific expeditions and on current affairs. The 1874 volume continues the previous year's attacks on attempts by Samuel Plimsoll to introduce seaworthiness inspections and other safety regulations, arguing for 'individual responsibility' rather than 'maternal interference by the State in the business concerns of daily life'. In addition to covering these debates, this volume concludes the series of articles on 'great ports' and begins one on 'our colonies'. It also contains the latest statistics on shipbuilding, substantial updates on steam technology, notes on a fascinating selection of court cases, and a song claimed to be highly effective in teaching trainee seamen the 'rule of the road at sea'.

Under new editorship from 1871, the magazine grew substantially in length; the 1872 volume was the first to exceed 1,000 pages. Part 2 includes 'the first Christmas number', which is made up of several short stories and poems by popular writers, introduced by a promotional note mentioning that the circulation had quadrupled during the year. Poetry and fiction regularly appear, alongside other recently introduced material such as reports from learned societies, government departments and court cases, but the magazine also continues to report on steam technology, weather, wrecks and salvage, and distant regions such as Africa and Iceland.

The exceptionally long volume for 1876 devotes much space to the Merchant Shipping Act of that year, and to other legal matters including the recent history of legislation relating to merchant ships, rules for the loading of cargos, and the prevention of collisions at sea. It contains statistics on the year's shipbuilding activity, details of the fleets of several Atlantic shipping lines, and discussion of the recruitment, health and pensions of sailors. Other topics covered include the Suez Canal, Nares' Arctic expedition, the exhibition of scientific apparatus in Kensington, proposals for a Channel tunnel and railway, and solar steam generation.
