Donoghue E: The Paris Express

The Paris Express

A Novel

From the #1 New York Times bestselling master of international intrigue comes a shocking new stand-alone thriller that thrusts a group of university students, falsely accused of murder, into a treacherous hunt across Europe, all to unlock the secrets buried within a centuries-old book that could change humankind forever.Knowledge can be magic—until it falls into the wrong hands.The ritualistic murder of a British professor at the University of Exeter points to a startling cast of suspects: his own students. All are enrolled in a postgraduate program covering the history of witchcraft, folklore, and spiritualism.All evidence points to Sharyn Karr—an American student. Prior to the professor’s death, he had thrust a centuries-old book upon her. It appears to be the handwritten and encrypted diary of an eighteenth-century mystic and occultist, the Comte de Saint-Germain. The professor begged her to keep the text safe, ending with a warning: Trust no one. Such a responsibility forces her into cooperation with Duncan Maxwell, a fellow postgrad and the sixteenth in line to the British Crown. Already, Duncan has proven himself a savant with encryptions. Unfortunately, the pair clash at every level, but they both need one another. Especially when they discover the book’s opening words: Herein lies the secret to my immortality. Come find me, if you dare.As dark forces close upon the pair, she and her friends are forced to flee, pursued by law enforcement and hunted by a powerful cabal. In an explosive chase across Europe—from the Tower of London to Parisian chateaus to a fortress in the Italian Alps—Sharyn must learn the true secret hidden in Saint-Germain’s text. It will send her and the others across history and deep into the heart of one of the world’s greatest mysteries, a secret buried at the roots of Western Civilization, a discovery that could topple empires and change humanity forever.For what lies at the end of Saint-Germain’s diary is as shocking as its opening words.

This Wretched Beauty

Französische Bibliothek

Ein 1807 während der Schlacht bei Preußisch Eylau schwer verwundeter und totgeglaubt ins Massengrab geworfener französischer Colonel kriecht mit übermenschlicher Anstrengung aus dem Leichenhaufen. Für den mittellosen Chabert beginnt eine Odyssee durch Kranken- und Armenasyle. 1818 kehrt er in das Paris der Restauration zurück, wo seine Ehefrau und Alleinerbin, die inzwischen mit einem Adligen wiederverheiratet ist, ihn zwar erkennt, aber verleugnet. Dem entstellten, offiziell für tot Erklärten fehlen jegliche Papiere zum Beweis seiner Identität. Schließlich findet er einen Anwalt, der ihm helfen will, sein Vermögen und seine gesellschaftliche Stellung wiederzuerlangen. Doch die skrupellose Raffinesse seiner Ehefrau, die Finten ihres Winkeladvokaten und die Aussicht auf einen kostspieligen Prozess nehmen dem angewiderten Chabert bald jeden Mut.In diesem virtuos verdichteten Roman bündeln sich Balzacs sozialkritische Leitgedanken wie in einem Brennglas: Identitätsverlust, Entwurzelung und Ausgrenzung des Individuums durch Krieg, soziale Umwälzung, rechtsverdrehende Justiz, intransparente Bürokratie und menschliche Abgründe in einer moralisch verkommenen Gesellschaft.&nbsp;

Die Rückkehr eines Toten

Colonel Chabert

A Clean Hell: Anarchy and Abolition in America’s Most Notorious Dungeon by Eric King is a searing firsthand account from inside the most repressive prison in the United States, a place built not for rehabilitation but for disappearance.The federal supermax ADX Florence is the most secure facility in the United States, a dungeon of isolation, sensory deprivation, and psychological disintegration. Here, cruelty isn’t accidental; it’s the design. Built in 1995, the “Alcatraz of the Rockies” was made to cage the so-called worst of the worst: bombers, gang leaders, political enemies, and anyone the government deems too rebellious, too inconvenient, or too visible.Among them was antifascist prisoner Eric King, targeted for his politics, brutally tortured by the Bureau of Prisons, and ultimately entombed at ADX after beating a politically motivated federal prosecution. A Clean Hell tells the story of Eric’s decade behind bars: the years of surveillance and retaliation, the years locked in solitary confinement, the reality of being known as a “race traitor,” and the daily acts of resistance that kept him—and others—alive.More than just a firsthand survival story and exposé, this is a blistering indictment of the carceral state and the sanitized violence it tries to hide. A Clean Hell is a crucial document of solidarity and struggle inside the belly of the beast and required reading for anyone concerned with mass incarceration, political repression, or the inhumane architecture of the US prison system.

Film

Die Geschichte des Kinos ist fundamental von der Ästhetik der Beleuchtung geprägt. In exemplarischen Einzelstudien analysiert Denis Grünemeier das faszinierende Wechselspiel von Licht und Schatten im Film. Dabei zeigt er eindrucksvoll durch die methodische Verknüpfung von Filmwissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte und Bildtheorie, dass Licht und Schatten über die Technik und Form hinaus wesentlich die Essenz und den Inhalt des Films bestimmen. Neben bekannten Regisseuren wie Kubrick, Murnau und Carlos Reygadas sind es die ausgewählten experimentellen Arbeiten Derek Jarmans und die Animationen der Quay Brothers, die den innovativen Status dieser Studie untermauern.

Third Girl

'A captivating story of love and adventure, thrumming with secrets' Lucy Steeds, author of The Artist 'Moves elegantly back and forwards in time, and across the world from Paris and London to the Antipodes . . . beautifully written' Sunday Times 'A compelling tale . . . blends historical fiction with high adventure and romance' Guardian 'Like a fine vintage of champagne, this novel is complex, layered, and delicious' Kate MacIntosh, author of The Champagne Letters Caroline examines a stolen map. And there she finds it, at the edge of the Western Hemisphere, a black mark at the 30th latitude smaller than a flea: Norfolk Island. Her Aunt thinks she's a fool for wanting to follow her father to the other side of the world. He is no longer the man who taught Caroline about philosophy, apothecary and dreamt of returning to the France of his childhood. He is a convicted murderer, mad, deported, condemned. But, when she understands that Caroline is determined, her Aunt has one piece of advice: she must leave her past behind and invent a new story. In 1839, Caroline lands in Van Dieman's Land, a young widow of means with a boy in her care. In this insular colony of exiles and opportunists, no-one talks too much about their past. Caroline leases a run-down cottage and abandoned vineyard and, on this island of extreme seasons and wild beauty, she embarks on a fearless enterprise to reclaim her father, create champagne, and rewrite her family's legacy. Travelling from Paris to Edinburgh, London, New York and to Tasmania, The Great Act of Love is an epic story of hope and self-invention.
