About this book

"Das hier erstmals in Buchform vorliegende Werk Hirschfelds wurde in den Jahren 1922-23 geschrieben und ist damals in wöchentlichen Fortsetzungen in der Berliner Schwulenzeitschrift "Die Freundschaft" erschienen. Unmittelbarer Anlaß für diese Aufzeichnungen war das 25-jährige Bestehen des Wissenschaftlich-humanitären Komitees. Unter dem schlichten Titel "Lebenserinnerungen" wurde 1922 eine Buchveröffentlichung dieses umfangreichsten Memoirentexts Hirschfelds vom Steegemann Verlag in Hannover angekündigt, was die überaus enge Verquickung von Person und Bewegung noch einmal verdeutlicht. Aus unbekannten Gründen unterblieb jedoch die Drucklegung, so daß die 52 ursprünglichen Fortsetzungen aus der "Freundschaft"--hier in 17 Kapitel neu gegliedert--erst jetzt einem breiteren Leserpublikum erschlossen werden. Wie das Komitee die tatgewordene Idee Hirschfelds war, so symbolisierte er selbst über Jahrzehnte Hinweg homosexuelle Emanzipationsbestrebungen schlechthin, was ihm sowohl Anfeindung als auch Anerkennung einbrachte. Bestärkt und ermutigt fühlte sich anscheinend die große Mehrheit der damaligen Leser durch Hirschfelds weitgehende Aussparung der Differenzen innerhalb der Schwulenbewegung, durch seine alles andere als tiefschürfende Behandlung solcher Rückschläge wie der Eulenburgkrise, durch seine optimistische und menschenfreundliche Grundhaltung. Hirschfelds Auffassung von schwuler Solidarität ging so weit, daß er wohl nie etwas Negatives über irgendeinen Homosexuellen äußerte, weder in diesem Werk noch sonstwo, sei es schriftlich oder mündlich. Später sollte er sogar noch …

Harakiri

Down-on-his-luck veteran Tsugumo Hanshirō enters the courtyard of the prosperous House of Iyi. Unemployed, and with no family, he hopes to find a place to commit seppuku—and a worthy second to deliver the coup de grâce in his suicide ritual. The senior counselor for the Iyi clan questions the ronin’s resolve and integrity, suspecting Hanshirō of seeking charity rather than an honorable end. What follows is a pair of interlocking stories which lay bare the difference between honor and respect, and promises to examine the legendary foundations of the Samurai code.

Phoenix

From time immemorial to the age of space colonization, there is one legend that has stayed unchanged in every history book—the tale of the immortal bird Phoenix. A being whose blood is said to grant eternal life or wisdom, the radiant figure ensures the continuation of sentient life in the universe as it oversees human civilizations and their development. Yet, mankind remains a slave to its habits; from happiness and sorrow, to wrath and love, a myriad of emotions continue to play an integral part of human life. Simultaneously, time and time again, certain beliefs and agendas persist over the centuries to disturb the fragile equilibrium of the world's preordained nature and principles. It appears that fate, with its dynamic variables, can manifest itself in many ways—and oftentimes exhibits a bizarre sense of humor.

Mushi-shi: Next Passage Part 2

Ghostly, primordial beings known as Mushi continue to cause mysterious changes in the lives of humans. The travelling Mushishi, Ginko, persists in trying to set right the strange and unsettling situations he encounters. Time loops, living shadows, and telepathy are among the overt effects of interference from Mushi, but more subtle symptoms that take years to be noticed also rouse Ginko's concern as he passes from village to village. Through circumstance, Ginko has become an arbiter, determining which Mushi are blessings and which are curses. But the lines that he seeks to draw are subjective. Some of his patients would rather exercise their new powers until they are utterly consumed by them; others desperately strive to rid themselves of afflictions which are in fact protecting their lives from devastation. Those who cross paths with Mushi must learn to accept seemingly impossible consequences for their actions, and heal wounds they did not know they had. Otherwise, they risk meeting with fates beyond their comprehension. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth

Twelve-year-old prodigy Rafal believes in living rationally, so as to earn praise and respect from society while not being led astray by his emotions. To this end, he publicly states his intention to study theology—the academic field held in highest regard in early 15th century Poland. However, an encounter with a mysterious man upends Rafal's life, sparking an illogical desire to instead pursue his passion for astronomy. Rafal is determined to prove the beauty and rationality of heliocentrism—the theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun. This belief is considered heretical by the powerful Church, which promotes geocentrism—the Sun revolving around the Earth—as the sole truth of the universe. Those whose beliefs do not align with the will of the Church suffer unfathomably gruesome consequences. In pursuit of evidence for a heliocentric model of the universe, Rafal grapples with obtaining precise calculations and building empirical theories. His greatest challenge, however, lies in conducting this research discreetly—lest he wish to meet the same fate as other heretics. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
