Die Pyramide der Sonne Konsul Hansen, ein reicher Sammler arch ologischer Exponate bekommt ein Fundst ck aus Visoko in Bosnien Herzegowina zugespielt, dessen Herkunft und Beschaffenheit, trotz Einsatz aller bekannten technischen Mittel, nicht bestimmt werden kann. Es hnelt dem G rtelschloss einer Paradeuniform. Jedoch befinden sich auf seiner glatten Oberfl che seltsame Zeichen, die bisher noch nicht bekannt sind und auch keiner Sprache zugeordnet werden k nnen. Das Handelshaus Hansen stellt ein Team von au ergew hnlichen Experten zusammen, das dieses Geheimnis l ften soll. Die Spur f hrt nach Mesopotamien zu den alten Sumerern, deren Herkunft bis heute noch nicht wissenschaftlich gekl rt ist, die aber als die Begr nder der menschlichen Zivilisation gelten. R ckblicke erz hlen, woher die Sumerer kommen und wie ihre Saat 4500 v.Chr. aufgegangen ist. Bei den umfangreichen Recherchen der Experten stellt sich heraus, dass dieses Fundst ck nicht von dieser Welt sein kann. Die spannende Spurensuche f hrt wieder zur ck zum Fundort Visoko, in dessen N he sich die, von dem Hobbyarch ologen Osmanagic' entdeckte, Pyramide der Sonne befindet. Dem Held der Handlung, Ronald Kronenberg, Sprachgenie und Experte f r die Keilschrift, gelingt es das R tsel des Fundst ckes zu l sen. Nun gilt es auch, das Geheimnis der "Pyramide der Sonne" zu erforschen. Eine spannende und f r alle Beteiligten gef hrliche Suche beginnt, an deren Ende sie eine unfassbare Entdeckung machen. Liebe, Hass, Gier, Habsucht und Gewalt sind auf dem Weg dahin die Wegbegleiter.
The Work of Art

The Work of Art

Artists are everywhere, from celebrities showing at MoMA to locals hoping for a spot on a café wall. They are photographed at gallery openings in New York and Los Angeles, hustle in fast-gentrifying cities, and, sometimes, make quiet lives in Midwestern monasteries. Some command armies of fabricators while others patiently teach schoolchildren how to finger-knit. All of these artists might well be shown in the same exhibition, the quality of work far more important than education or income in determining whether one counts as a "real" artist. In The Work of Art, Alison Gerber explores these art worlds to investigate who artists are (and who they're not), why they do the things they do, and whether a sense of vocational calling and the need to make a living are as incompatible as we've been led to believe. Listening to the stories of artists from across the United States, Gerber finds patterns of agreements and disagreements shared by art-makers from all walks of life. For professionals and hobbyists alike, the alliance of love and money has become central to contemporary art-making, and danger awaits those who fail to strike a balance between the two. The stories artists tell are just as much a part of artistic practice as putting brush to canvas or chisel to marble. By explaining the shared ways that artists account for their activities—the analogies they draw, the arguments they make—Gerber reveals the common bases of value artists point to when they say: what I do is worth doing. The Work of Art asks how we make sense of the things we do and shows why all this talk about value matters so much.

"Dan Gerber tenderly reels his readers through the 'beautiful movie' he calls the passing of time on earth in a language completely unadorned and Zen-like in its quietude. The thing itself carries the weight of these poems, which recall the deep imagery of Vallejo, Neruda and Wright."--Rain Taxi"Gerber's got a Spanish soul. A bloody, dusty, old Spanish soul. He's got Machado, Lorca, and Jim nez all rolled up in him. And when he does the lyric, or the meditative, it speaks to the universe and to us."--Line BreakDan Gerber is a master of layered, bittersweet imagery. In his seventh book of poems, he writes of childhood misgivings and fears, the oak savannah landscape of California's central coast, and a near-mystical relationship with nature. As novelist John Nichols once wrote of Gerber's poetry, "Dan Gerber has an exquisitely muted, yet profound understanding of tragedy, love, family, and the haunting vagaries of nature." "Some Distance" I wanted to be a stone in the field, simply that, and then I wanted to be the grass around it, and then the cattle grazing under the too blue sky, and then the blue, which has of itself no substance, and yet goes on and on and on. Dan Gerber is the author of a dozen books of poetry, fiction, essays, and memoir. He has earned the Mark Twain Award, Book of the Year honors from ForeWord Magazine, and inclusion in The Best American Poetry. He lives in Santa Ynez, California.

Dan Gerber is one of our finest living poets. --Annie Dillard"The poems in Dan Gerber's latest collection, Sailing through Cassiopeia, exist in a lyrical remove from time. Via delicious imagery, masterful pacing, and long-sanded language, Gerber...maintains a continual curiosity and gentleness of spirit despite his keen awareness of the world's inevitable horrors." --Orion "As quiet and modest in their display as his poems sometimes seem, their agenda is bold. Gerber, the author of seven collections of poetry that from the beginning lovingly render physical detail, believes that something of great significance occurs when an object is rightly seen.... Mindfulness, seeing things as they really are, both beauty and ugliness, informs the authentic life, and defines the aesthetic response to that life."--Poetry East"Where Gerber really starts to differentiate is in his approach: he frequently focuses with sustained intensity on something fairly ordinary or easily observed until it leads him to the unseen or not so easily discerned. He is really a metaphysical poet in physical garb."--World Literature Today "In Sailing through Cassiopeia Gerber's decades of apprenticeship are palpable in a book so stunning--so tenderly branching into the world even as it tunnels inward--that it is difficult to put down." --George Kalamaras, Rain TaxiGerber has a gentle touch and an unaffected, articulate voice that can be smart, funny, wise--sometimes all at the same time.--Library JournalDan Gerber's mastery of layered imagery and crystalline vision marry European Romanticism with American Zen. These meditative poems engage the natural landscape of California's oak savannas and memories of childhood, while calling upon an array of literary progenitors--from Robinson Jeffers and Rainer Maria Rilke to the classics of the Chinese canon--exploring what it means to be linguistically alive in an animal world. As ForeWord magazine wrote, Dan Gerber's poems are quick, graceful, alert to their surroundings, and rarely wasting a motion.The Word is the Picture of ThingsLooking down at the lights of Earth, its constellations of lives, however unaware, signal back to the watching galaxiesthat have their seeing inside us.I praised flight and got stuck.I praised gravity and got lost.Along the way my life decays, and ripens . . . Dan Gerber is the author of seven collections of poetry, three novels, a book of short stories, and two books of nonfiction. A former racecar driver, he has traveled extensively as a journalist, particularly in Africa. His books have earned a Michigan Author Award and the Mark Twain Award. He lives in Santa Ynez, California.

Drawing upon eight previous collections, and including a book-length selection of new poems, this retrospective tunes its senses to the natural world and a provenance that includes the influence of Buddhism, English Romanticism, and a deep reading of Rainer Maria Rilke's oeuvre. Pastoral and expansive, Gerber's poetry is concerned with the universe just outside each of our windows--the immediately viewable landscape in front of us and the mysterious vastness beyond.From Dark Matter: The visible drapes itself around the invisible, the way my jacket takes its shape from my shoulders.An unseen gravity whirlsnear the center of our galaxy, an unseen heart near the centerof the bodies in which we desire.I seldom think of Neptune out there, way beyondmy pointing to it on a summer night . . .Dan Gerber is the author of eight collections of poetry, three novels, a book of short stories, and two books of nonfiction.
