A witty epistolary novel, both heartwarming and heart-wrenching, about a dysfunctional family--led by a Jewish pig farmer in Israel--struggling to love and accept each other.As comic as it is deeply moving, Holy Lands chronicles several months in the lives of an estranged family of colorful eccentrics. Harry Rosenmerck is an aging Jewish cardiologist who has left his thriving medical practice in New York--to raise antiterrorist pigs in Israel. His ex-wife, Monique, ruminates about their once happy marriage even as she quietly battles an aggressive illness. Their son, David, an earnest and successful playwright, has vowed to reconnect with his father since coming out. Annabelle, their daughter, finds herself unmoored in Paris in the aftermath of a breakup.Harry eschews technology, so his family, spread out around the world, must communicate with him via snail mail. Even as they grapple with challenges, their correspondence sparkles with levity. They snipe at each other, volleying quips across the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and Europe, and find joy in unexpected sources.Holy Lands captures the humor and poignancy of an adult family striving to remain connected across time, geography, and radically different perspectives on life.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Komparatistik, Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft, Martin-Luther-Universit t Halle-Wittenberg (Institut f r Germanistik), Veranstaltung: Einf hrung in die Literaturwissenschaft, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: "Sehr fr h schon zeigte sich, welche Faszination von dem Medium "Film" auch auf die Kinder ausging, wenn diese- in einem verdunkelten Raum vor der gro en, magisch-wei en Leinwand sitzend- sich einer bewegten, fotografischen Schein- oder Halbwirklichkeit konfrontiert sahen." Schon seit den 1950er Jahren wird in Deutschland Literatur verfilmt, die Zahl der Literaturadaptionen steigt stetig. Bis heute haben vor allem Kinderb cher als Adaptionsgrundlage an Bedeutung nichts verloren. "Adaption bedeutet die Bearbeitung eines (fiktionalen) Stoffes f r ein anderes Medium. Der Wechsel findet statt zwischen Medien derselben Kunstform oder Medien unterschiedlicher Kunstformen. ...]." Im Folgenden sollen Erich K stners Kinderbuch P nktchen und Anton aus dem Jahre 1931 und dessen Filmadaptionen aus den Jahren 1953 und 1999 analysiert und verglichen werden. Die Schwierigkeit hierbei ist, dass " ...] bislang keine g ltigen Kriterien entwickelt wurden], die eine sthetische Einsch tzung der Adaption unter Ber cksichtigung ihrer Vorlage erm glichen w rden ...]." Um also den Vergleich einzugrenzen, geht es vor allem um die Betrachtung der inhaltlichen Schwerpunkte sowie das Bild der Kinder und der Gesellschaft zur jeweiligen Zeit. P nktchen und Anton ist eines der ber hmtesten Werke Erich K stners. In all seinen Kinderb chern versucht K stner auf soziale Problematiken aufmerksam zu machen, gleichzeitig aber auch seine Leser zu unterhalten. Auch die Verfilmungen seiner Werke nehmen diese Schwerpunkte auf, soll schlie lich die Adaption nichts an Informations- und Unterhaltungswert verlieren. Zus tzlich ist es f r die Autoren der Literaturverfilmungen ein Muss, auf das urspr ngliche Werk aufmerksam zu machen. " Es wird]
Cassie and Ronny Jennings are sisters, living a going-nowhere existence in a small town in the mountains of upstate New York. From out of the blue, they are notified of an inheritance from the father they never knew-an estate consisting of land, a house and livestock in Los Tropicos, Texas. As stated in the will, they must live there a year to legitimately claim their bequest. Cassie is excited. She's tired of the cold winters. Ronny is dubious but goes along with her younger sister, planning all along to return to New York. In Texas, they find 80 acres of land a stone's throw from the Rio Grande River and the Mexican border, an antiquated adobe house more than 100 years old and 4 longhorn steers that their father saved from slaughter, all located 12 miles from a town with a population of 136. Their disappointment is palpable. Their handsome neighbor, Boudreau Buckalew, a Texas Ranger working undercover, policing people and drug smuggling across the Mexican border comes to their aid more than once. Cassie, a career elementary teacher, falls head over heels and for the first time ever considers giving up her teaching career. Next, they run into Tex Barton, a giant of a man with a heart as big as Texas, and a building contractor who agrees to do some work on the old house. He hires Ronny to be his helper. Ronny stumbles across a business opportunity she never dreamed she would have, sees her future in Texas after all and stops planning to return to New York. Add to the sisters' culture shock is the ever-present atmosphere of drugs and people smuggling, the unexplained disappearance of food from the kitchen and a strange encounter in the house with smuggled women who appear out of thin air. In a thrilling but chaotic end, the sisters accidentally solve the mystery.
