McKay C: Letters in Exile

Letters in Exile

Transnational Journeys of a Harlem Renaissance Writer

Leidenschaft, Sucht, Dostojewski – ein Klassiker mit Herzrasen
 Beim Roulette gewinnen, gewinnen um jeden Preis. Anfangs ist der Spieler noch abgestoßen von der Atmosphäre der Spielsäle, doch nach und nach ergreift die Spielleidenschaft die Persönlichkeit des Erzählers. 
 Der Spieler
 verbindet den fiebrigen Rausch der Spieltische in Roulettenburg, Baden-Baden und Paris und eine leidenschaftliche Liebesgeschichte zu einer Erzählung von existenzieller Grenzerfahrung und zerstörerischer Sehnsucht. Dostojewski schrieb den Roman inmitten eigener Spielsucht und finanzieller Verzweiflung.

Aus den Aufzeichnungen eines jungen Mannes | Die berauschende Novelle über Abhängigkeit, Liebe und Selbstzerstörung | In hochwertiger Geschenkbuch-Ausstattung

Der Spieler

What if sixty days could transform the way you lead - and the way you live?

After more than 30 years in high-stakes leadership roles, Carole M. Adolphe had mastered predicting outcomes, minimizing risk, and guiding organizations through growth and transition. As a trusted member of the C-suite, she delivered results again and again.

But beneath the success, something was breaking.

Misalignment. Burnout. A leadership culture built on performance instead of presence.

So she walked away.

Permission to Lead Differently: Eight Countries. One Awakening. A New Way to Lead is not a book about escape - it's about returning. Returning to self. To alignment. To leadership that doesn't require you to disappear behind a role.

Blending powerful storytelling with leadership insight drawn from journeys across Bali, Japan, South Korea, Tanzania, Ghana, Egypt, Switzerland, and Colombia, Carole translates lived experience into practical wisdom leaders can apply back in the boardroom.

This book is especially for leaders who are:feeling devalued despite their contributions
experiencing public success and private exhaustion
struggling with identity, purpose, and voice
looking for alternatives to normalized burnout
spending more energy performing than leading
done with systems that reward endurance over alignment
ready to stop shrinking to belong



Inside, you'll discover how to:let go of what no longer serves you
lead with intention instead of urgency
hold complexity with clarity
reclaim your voice and presence
redefine success on your own terms
lead boldly - without burnout



Permission to Lead Differently invites you into a leadership culture shift grounded in lived truth, emotional intelligence, and authenticity.

If you're ready to lead from alignment instead of exhaustion-
 from clarity instead of performance-
 from purpose instead of pressure-

You have permission to lead differently.

Eight Countries. One Awakening. A New Way to Lead

Permission to Lead Differently

For fans of the Legendary Alston Boys, an uproarious contemporary adventure story with a dash of fantasy about two friends who start a non-singing duo, go viral, and become unlikely international rock stars, bringing mindfulness to the middle school masses.At Visalia Middle School, nothing exciting ever happens. For Jason and Sean, eating candy at recess and dreaming of a future filled with fame and fortune is usually the highlight of their day. But when Sean stumbles across a video of a composer’s deliberately silent performance piece, the boys come up with an idea for a musical act that performs non-songs. And when a video of their first concert goes viral, the duo suddenly finds their dreams of stardom coming true—despite their lack of any musical talent.Soon they’re off on a globe-trotting adventure where, with the help of a cockatiel translator and an eleven-year-old talent agent, they unintentionally popularize the concept of quiet mindfulness and discover that fame can be fickle, but friendship is forever.

In the decades following the Second World War, the existence of authoritarian regimes on the Iberian Peninsula undermined the idea of a "free West." At the same time, Spain and Portugal were emerging as ever more popular holiday destinations for West European tourists. This book analyzes how tourism shaped the relations between West European democracies and the Iberian regimes: Government officials and entrepreneurs established touristic infrastructures, travel writers addressed the tension between visitors' leisure and locals' oppression, activists called for a boycott of tourism to the authoritarian regimes. In a period shaped by the Cold War, tourism turned the Iberian regimes into Europe's favourite dictatorships.&nbsp;

Im Louvre bricht die Hölle los. Eine Frau entleert fast den gesamten Inhalt einer Thermoskanne über das Bildnis der Mona Lisa. Für Lieutenant Madelaine Degras ist dieser Albtraum der Auftakt zu einem Höllenritt durch Europa. Gemeinsam mit ihrer Kollegin Amelie Lefebre stößt sie auf eine Organisation, die ihre Interessen mit erbarmungsloser Gewalt durchsetzt - Anschläge, Entführungen und Morde gehören zu ihrem Repertoire. Paris, Malmö, Turin, Versailles, Rom: jede Stadt ein neues Minenfeld. Entführte Kinder, brennende Gebäude, Bomben in der Nacht - und ein Terror, der die Olympischen Spiele in Blut tauchen soll. Während Madelaine und Amelie um Menschenleben kämpfen, geraten sie selbst ins Fadenkreuz. "Suppe für die Mona Lisa" verspricht Hochspannung - und einen Wettlauf gegen den Terror, bei dem jede Entscheidung Leben kosten kann.

Die Unbekannte

A searching, buoyant novel about queer love, mothers and daughters, and making a life in the face of the only constant: loss.Every story is a love story. In a Barcelona redolent with Almodóvar vibes, the love is between women: overlapping and messy attachments between friends, young lovers, mothers and daughters. As Sara's mother dies, her daughter is in bed with a new obsession. She's wracked with guilt, but the persistence of need, the demands of the body, refuse to take a dignified pause for the observance of another body leaving this world. If one of the projects of growing up is being defeated by the limits of control we have over ourselves and others, the frustration of trying and failing to be understood, then Sara's loss, her lovers, and her longterm girlfriend are her passage from 28 and casting about to a little bit older and a little bit more sorted out. If love is "more like a quagmire than anything else--sometimes sombre, sometimes blinded by light," then X Is Where I Am is one young woman's fractious, hopeful, attempt to give in to it.
