    After Lumkile is arrested for robbery, his estranged mother appears and removes him to the Eastern Cape, where he makes a fresh start - reinventing himself at a new school and falling in love. When the time comes for Lumkile to enter manhood by undergoing a ritual circumcision, he prepares eagerly for the ceremonies ahead. However, in his makeshift hut on the mountain, Lumkile realises that something has gone terribly wrong. Having been taught that 'what happens at the mountain stays at the mountain' he faces a stark choice: to seek medical help and risk being forever ostracised and labelled as a 'failed man'; or to suffer life-changing injuries or even death. This deftly written novel is one young man's intimate account of a botched circumcision, and his journey to accept his fate and embrace his future, as he gains a deeper understanding of what it really means to be a man

    "Victorian literature is rife with scenes of madness, with mental disorder functioning as everything from a simple plot device to a commentary on the foundations of Victorian society. But while madness in Victorian fiction has been much studied, most scholarship has focused on the portrayal of madness in women; male mental disorder in the period has suffered comparative neglect. This book corrects this imbalance by exploring a wide range of Victorian writings to consider the relationship between the portrayal of mental illness in literary works and the portrayal of similar disorders in the writings of doctors and psychologists. The book presents in-depth studies of Dickens' Barnaby Rudge, Tennyson's Maud, Wilkie Collins' Basil and Trollope's He Knew He Was Right, considering each work in the context of Victorian understandings -- and fears -- of mental degeneracy."--Publisher's description

    Bis zum Jahr 2050 wird es etwa 23 Millionen über 65-Jährige in Deutschland geben. Dadurch wird es gesellschaftlich wie individuell zunehmend notwendig, gute Voraussetzungen für das Rentenalter als Lebensphase zu schaffen. Um es bei guter Gesundheit und Lebensqualität zu verbringen, sollte bereits die Zeit vor dem Übergang zur Vorbereitung genutzt werden. Insbesondere Männer, die sich oft stark mit ihrer Berufstätigkeit identifizieren, sind gefordert, ein hohes Gesundheitspotenzial und gute soziale Bedingungen verantwortungsbewusst aufzubauen. Der Vierte Deutsche Männergesundheitsbericht setzt bei einer fundierten Bestandsaufnahme der Situation der Männer zwischen 55 und 74 Jahren an. Aus ihr ergeben sich wichtige Themen für die Politik, für die Soziale Arbeit und für den gesellschaftlichen Diskurs insgesamt: die Situation der Erwerbsarbeit zehn Jahre vor der Berentung, die Übergangsphase sowie gesundheitsfördernde Projekte für Männer vor und nach dem Renteneintritt. Mit Beiträgen von Doris Bardehle, Eric Bonsang, Daniela Borchart, Martina Brandt, Jennifer Burchardi, Christian Deindl, Dina Frommert, Freya Geishecker, Siegfried Geyer, Stefan Gruber, Felizia Hanemann, Hans Martin Hasselhorn, Moritz Hess, Jens Hoebel, Hanno Hoven, Rainer Jordan, Hendrik Jürges, Theo Klotz, Adèle Lemoine, Michal Levinsky, Howard Litwin, Peggy Looks, Thorsten Lunau, Ingrid Mayer-Dörfler, Anne Maria Möller-Leimkühler, Niels Michalski, Bernhard Mühlbrecht, Laura Naegele, Nikola Ornig, Kathleen Pöge, Jean-Baptist du Prel, Gregor Sand, Alina Schmitz, Johannes Siegrist, Stefanie Sperlich, Anne Starker, Matthias Stiehler und Morten Wahrendorf
