Sussman S: Boy from the North Country

Boy from the North Country

A Novel

Penitence

Ein virtuoser Ritt durch die Geschichte und die Genres - ein grandioses Epos. Jetzt endlich wieder erhältlich.

Die Meckels gelten als 'die Bachs der Medizingeschichte'. Johann Friedrich Meckel der Jüngere (1781 bis 1833), ein Vorreiter von Charles Darwin, ist die Hauptfigur dieses Romans, der von seinem Halbbruder Albrecht August erzählt wird. Beide sind Anatomen und dem ebenfalls detailversessenen Dichtergenie Jean Paul verbunden. 1813 nehmen sie an den Befreiungskriegen teil und sind in eine Mordintrige verwickelt, wegen der sie 1814 nach Neapel entweichen und dort vieler Rätsel Lösung näherkommen.
Albrecht trifft in diesem Roman Lützow und sein Freikorps, den Turnvater Jahn, Theodor Körner, aber auch seine Schicksalsliebe, die 'Potsdamer Jeanne d`Arc' Eleonore Prochaska. Es treten weiter auf: E. T. A. Hoffmann und Fouqué, der Maler Ingres, der 'Einstein des 19. Jahrhunderts' Georges Cuvier, Joachim Murat, König, Reitermarschall und Schwager Napoleons - und nicht zuletzt Napoleon selbst. Treuer Begleiter des Erzählers ist sein versoffener russischer Gaul Jean Paul.
Grandiose Pläne und die skurrilen Misslichkeiten großer Tatkraft in wirren Zeiten verknäulen sich auf ebenso tragische wie komische Weisen. Virtuos und voller Schalk mischt Wilhelm Bartsch auch Zutaten aus Kriminalgroteske und Gothic Novel, aus Liebes-, Heimat- und Kriegsroman zu einem grandiosen Epos.

Meckels Messerzüge

Ariadne Literaturbibliothek

Bei Doris Gercke, Grande Dame des politischen Kriminalromans, waren Fiktion und Realität eng miteinander verschlungen. Die Arbeit an Texten hat sie so sehr geliebt wie das Lesen und hätte gern noch mehr geschrieben, wir gern mehr verlegt, doch zuletzt fehlte ihr die Zeit. Ihre verbliebenen paar Texte gab sie uns kurz vor dem Tod: ein Hefter, teils handschriftlich, betitelt mit den Worten Von den Bewohnern der Städte. Es sind kurze Szenen, einige Prosagedichte, auch drei Geschichten dabei. Ihr finsterer Realismus, nüchtern und unbotmäßig, nie humor- oder zahnlos, schimmert in allen Formen durch, der vertraute, entschiedene Ton hallt nach.

Von den Bewohnern der Städte

Part life philosophy, part financial clarity, and part real-world wisdom from a hugely popular estate planning attorney who has seen what happens when families plan and when they don't. I'm Sorry I'm Dead helps readers confront the reality of life's end, not in a morbid way, but in a deeply empowering one. Estate planning attorney, entrepreneur, and best-selling author Pamela Maass Garrett aka Law Mother has helped thousands of families navigate what happens when someone dies. She has seen firsthand that the biggest problems families face are rarely legal: they are emotional, relational, and the result of decisions never made . . . siblings that stop speaking over a dispute about their parent's home, a grieving widow locked out of bank accounts because she didn't know how to get access, and families forced to guess about critical medical decisions. All of these problems can be easily avoided. In this book, Garrett introduces a powerful mindset shift: when you face the end of life honestly, you begin living more intentionally today. Through compelling stories from real families, practical financial insights, and simple decision-making frameworks, readers learn how to take control of their lives before circumstances take control of them. The book guides readers through the most important life decisions most people avoid: · how to organize finances and build real wealth · how to protect loved ones legally and emotionally · how to make difficult family decisions before crisis strikes · how to prevent conflict, confusion, and regret after death · how to create a legacy that strengthens future generations rather than unintentionally burdening them with a huge tax bill · what you really can and can't do Rather than overwhelming readers with technical legal details, I'm Sorry I'm Dead offers a clear philosophy and practical tools for making the decisions that matter most. The result is a life lived with greater clarity, stronger relationships, and the peace of knowing the people you love will be protected. This book is for anyone who wants to stop drifting through life and start deciding it.

Estate Planning to Protect the People You Love and Leave Behind More Than Money

I’m Sorry I’m Dead

35 Jahre DDR treffen auf 35 Jahre "Westen": Mit 112 DM, einem Leitzordner und großen Erwartungen startet Bollfeger 1987 ins Abenteuer jenseits des Eisernen Vorhangs - und muss viele Vorurteile überraschend korrigieren.

Eine deutsch-deutsche Fluchtkoffervisite

Johannes Bollfeger nimmt sich das Leben (und noch ein bisschen mehr)

The latest novel from the winner of the 2021 European Union Prize for Literature.

Teddý lives with her parents on a farm in the Icelandic wilderness. It's 1962, and the world is changing, although you wouldn't know it from the stark quiet of the lava fields and mountains that mark the boundaries of the young woman's existence. But after two chance encounters, Teddý's dreams of a world beyond begin to crystallise, albeit in strange and unexpected ways, as we follow one woman's life over five decades, from farm to city to the skies. Taking us from the grandeur of rural Iceland to the glossy, sticky world of 1970s air travel, via check fraud, thwarted ambition and lost astronauts, Boudoir is a novel about reinvention, dislocation, and the forceful gravity of the lives and selves we think we've left behind.

The Secret Garden

Farrar, Straus and Giroux

*LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 BOOKER PRIZE* *LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION* A New York Times Book Review Book Club Pick A woman discovers that her bathroom has been remodeled into a prison cell-where she is an unlikely inmate-in this surreal novel of exile, grief, memory, and migration. In Salerno, Italy, Dilara spends her days caring for her aging father and her hypochondriac husband. Since leaving her native Istanbul, she's been unable to find a job-adrift, she becomes increasingly fixated on domestic improvement, specifically on the renovation of a second bathroom. When the work is completed, she enters and finds herself not in a bathroom but in a prison cell, and a Turkish one at that. As she tries and fails to conceal the discovery from her husband, she confronts the prison's other inhabitants-the buffoonish guards who refuse to believe her conundrum; the other women who begin filling the cells beyond hers-and the strange things that drift through it: the smell of the Bosporus, her mother's voice, calls to prayer . . . This slender, disquieting first novel tells a story of modern migration like no other. The Renovation is a tragic comedy of displacement, a story that remodels its own form to the dazzling inevitable end.

The Renovation

A workbook designed to guide the bereaved through grief using a clinically-informed, structured storytelling method, this book gives readers the ability to disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reconcile with their loss using narrative writing. Based upon her research and the 'expressive storytelling' method she created, Linita Eapen Mathew calls upon her own experiences losing her father along with carefully structured narrative exercises to teach readers how they can write, re-examine, revise, and re-write their grief story to work towards a point of clarity and release. Leaning into grief theory and trauma-informed and therapeutic writing research, Writing Through Grief allows readers to create a complete and consistent account of their experiences to help them process events that unfolded, release trauma, and relieve the intense reactions and responses to the loss of both the living and the deceased. With each chapter combining Eapen's personal narrative with expressive storytelling exercises alongside discussion of the research behind them for context, this book offers readers a creative, productive but emotionally sensitive approach to handling grief. Whether guided by a trained psychologist, a workshop instructor or writing in the comfort of a personal space, writers can disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reflection through creative writing.

An Expressive Storytelling Workbook

Narrating Your Grief

WINNER OF THE NBCC JOHN LEONARD PRIZE WINNER OF THE PEN/ JACQUELINE BOGRAD WELD AWARD FOR BIOGRAPHY A TIME TOP 10 BOOK OF 2025 AN ATLANTIC TOP 10 BOOK OF 2025 A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2025 AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Drawing on new archival material, original research, and interviews, this spellbinding book is the first major biography of James Baldwin in three decades, revealing how profoundly his personal relationships shaped his life and work. Baldwin: A Love Story, the first major biography of James Baldwin in three decades, reveals how profoundly the writer's personal relationships shaped his life and work. Drawing on newly uncovered archival material and original research and interviews, this spellbinding book tells the overlapping stories of Baldwin's most sustaining intimate and artistic relationships: with his mentor, the Black American painter Beauford Delaney; with his lover and muse, the Swiss painter Lucien Happersberger; and with his collaborators, the famed Turkish actor Engin Cezzar and the iconoclastic French artist Yoran Cazac, whose long-overlooked significance as Baldwin's last great love is explored in these pages for the first time. Nicholas Boggs shows how Baldwin drew on all the complex forces within these relationships-geographical, cultural, political, artistic, and erotic-and alchemized them into novels, essays, and plays that speak truth to power and had an indelible impact on the civil rights movement and on Black and queer literary history. Richly immersive, Baldwin: A Love Story follows the writer's creative journey between Harlem, Paris, Switzerland, the southern United States, Istanbul, Africa, the South of France, and beyond. In so doing, it magnifies our understanding of the public and private lives of one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century, whose contributions only continue to grow in influence.

Baldwin: A Love Story

Mathilde ist jung, schön, voller Träume - und entschlossen, in den sechziger Jahren ein anderes Leben zu führen. Zusammen mit vier Studenten gründet sie in Hamburg eine WG, in der Besitz, Treue und Familie abgeschafft gehören. Freie Liebe, Kunst und Revolution sollen das alte Denken vertreiben. 1967 wird Johanna geboren - das "Gemeinschaftskind" einer Generation, die glaubte, die Welt neu zu erfinden.
Fünfzig Jahre später fragt sich Johanna, was von all den Idealen geblieben ist. Sie sieht ihre Mutter altern, die Männer verschwinden, die Träume verfliegen - und spürt, wie schwer es ist, das eigene Leben zu begreifen.
Carin Abicht erzählt mit Witz, Zärtlichkeit und präziser Ironie vom Glanz und Scheitern einer Zeit, in der alles möglich schien - und von den Töchtern, die mit den Träumen ihrer Eltern weiterleben müssen.
