Nationalhymne (OmU)

Deutsch, Niederländisch, Spanisch, Englisch

George Lamming—one of the Caribbean’s most powerful literary voices, championed by Richard Wright and Jean-Paul Sartre—reimagines the age of European exploration in a work that stands as one of the great political novels of the twentieth century Under imperial orders, a nameless Commandant sets sail sometime between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, bound for the legendary island of San Cristobal—a place whispered about in maps and myths, promised as a prize of empire. The voyage is meant to secure glory and dominion. Instead, it begins to unravel. As weeks at sea stretch into obsession, the expedition becomes a dangerous test of authority and belief. The Commandant’s power is absolute yet increasingly fragile; his crew is caught between obedience and doubt. What begins as a mission of discovery turns into a voyage haunted by fear, desire, and the unspoken violence at the heart of conquest. Told through shifting perspectives and charged with poetic intensity, Natives of My Person plunges readers inside the imperial imagination at the moment it begins to crack. George Lamming transforms the historical voyage into a gripping psychological drama—one that exposes the ambitions, illusions, and brutal consequences of empire. Urgent, unsettling, and fiercely original, Natives of My Person, Lamming’s masterpiece, reveals how conquest reshapes not only the world, but the minds that seek to rule it. “George Lamming is not so much a novelist as a chronicler of secret journeys to the innermost regions of the West Indian psyche. . . an uninhibited journey to the heart of the colonizer.” —The New York Times

A Novel

Natives of My Person

Inspector Henry Tibbett is taking a much-needed holiday from his job at Scotland Yard with his wife Emmy. Headed for a spot of skiing in the Italian Dolomites and some first-class people-watching, Tibbett's worries blissfully melt away. That is, until a fellow guest who boards the ski lift alive at the top of the mountain is found dead when the lift touches bottom. Another dead body turns up, and then another, and it becomes clear that Murder has come to the mountain.

Inspector Tibbett is a blissfully ordinary English detective, with a sense for when something is up. On a relaxing skiing holiday in the Dolomites, all is well until a dead body turns up.

Inspector Tibbett; 1

Dead Men Don't Ski

Roscoe takes us through the streets of San Francisco-a man without a home, but with a sharp, unrelenting way of seeing a world that has largely stopped noticing him. Over the course of twelve hours, he takes us through his day: unfiltered, darkly humorous, and disarmingly precise.What unfolds is not only a life on the margins, but a sustained reckoning with society itself-its indifference, its contradictions, and its fleeting moments of grace. Through Roscoe's voice, we encounter violence and vulnerability, chance meetings and fractured conversations, as well as moments of unexpected kindness-what remains when everything else is stripped away.In a voice that is both irreverent and deeply humane, ROSCOE moves between confession and confrontation. It is at once an intimate, voice-led portrait of one man and a wider exploration of the fractured realities of modern America.Andrew J. Gregor's novel is unsentimental, unsettling, and ultimately compassionate-a reminder that those we overlook are never without thought, dignity, or a story worth hearing.

LIEBE ist das wohl Schönste und Geheimnisvollste,
das ein Mensch erleben kann. Sie schenkt uns Verbundenheit,
aber sie enttäuscht uns auch immer wieder. Vor allem im Alltag
lauern Fallstricke, und die können sehr herausfordernd sein.
Dem Mysterium der Liebe - ob romantisch oder sinnlich,
freundschaftlich oder familiär, leicht oder schwer - haben sich
die neun Autor*innen der Gruppe LIT L H angenähert.

Liebe und andere Störungen

THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE • A cult classic and Los Angeles Times Book of the Year, this sharp, insightful novel by New Yorker contributor Han Ong explores racial and social hierarchy, personal identity, and alienation. William Paulinha—a resourceful gay Filipino sex worker barely getting by in New York—is determined to turn his life around when he crosses paths with Shem C., an on-the-rise author now disgraced and exiled from both his marriage and the city’s literary inner circle. Furious at the world that cast him out, Shem finds in the intelligent and pliable William the perfect accomplice for his plans. Under Shem’s tutelage, William reinvents himself as “Master Chao,” an enigmatic Feng Shui consultant catering to New York’s wealthiest and most self-satisfied classes. As doors swing open and fortunes are arranged and rearranged, William is pulled ever deeper into the private anxieties and secret desires of the powerful, discovering just how much people will pay to believe that even their moral rot can be purified and saved. Blending razor-sharp satire with tenderness and psychological insight, Fixer Chao traces a dazzling ascent built on illusion and audacious transformation. By turns funny, devastating, and electrifying, Ong’s writing asks what it takes to remake oneself in America—and what, if anything, remains when the performance finally ends.

RAINBOW

Japan, 1957. Über zehn Jahre sind vergangen, seit das Land im Zweiten Weltkrieg besiegt wurde. Zehn Jahre, in denen vor allem die Schwächsten der Gesellschaft unter den Entbehrungen der Nachkriegszeit zu leiden hatten. Mario wurde wegen Körperverletzung verhaftet und zurück in die Shonan-Spezial-Erziehungsanstalt gebracht. Nun soll er jedoch nach dem Erwachsenenstrafrecht belangt werden - und das würde mindestens sieben Jahre Gefängnis bedeuten, wenn es ihm nicht gelingt, die Anklage durch die Staatsanwaltschaft zu verhindern. Angeleitet von Nomoto machen sich Marios frühere Zellengenossen daran, einen Plan zu schmieden. Doch ihnen bleiben nur noch 11 Tage bis zur Anklageerhebung ...

Yu Yu Hakusho

Der Wettlauf gegen die Zeit spitzt sich zu, und Yusuke setzt alles daran, um dem Drahtzieher Sensui ein für alle Mal das Handwerk zu legen. Doch der ist mit allen Wassern gewaschen und lässt sich selbst in einer halsbrecherischen Verfolgungsjagd nicht so leicht in die Enge treiben! Der erfolgreiche Abschluss ihrer Mission rückt endgültig in weite Ferne, als auch noch Sensuis Komplizen dem Geisterdetektiv und seinen Kameraden in die Quere kommen. Nun scheint die Öffnung des Höllentors unausweichlich ...

Yu Yu Hakusho 10

Longlisted for the 2026 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. One of Kirkus' Best of Fiction 2025. Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2025 by the Los Angeles Times, Town &amp; Country, and Alta. "Flores's style has an exhilarating punk, D.I.Y. aplomb; it's as if he feels he's inventing literature for the first time." -Mark Leyner, The New York Times Book Review "Flores's fiction possesses the aspect of a dream." -David L. Ulin, The Atlantic "This crazy, cakey world-making of Fernando A. Flores is all of literature: wide, plaintive, melancholy, and full of feminist fellow joyousness and ways . . . Hated this world ending. I want more." -Eileen Myles Two women fight to save their dystopian border town-and literature-in this gonzo near-future adventure. The year is 2038, and the formerly bustling town of Three Rivers, Texas, is a surreal wasteland. Under the authoritarian thumb of its tech industrialist mayor, Pablo Henry Crick, the town has outlawed reading and forced most of its mothers to work as indentured laborers at the Big Tex Fish Cannery, which poisons the atmosphere and lines Crick's pockets. Scraping by in this godforsaken landscape are best friends Proserpina and Neftalí. One of Three Rivers' last literate citizens, Neftalí hides and reads the books of the mysterious renegade author Jazzmin Monelle Rivas, whose last novel, Brother Brontë, is finally in Neftalí's possession. But after a series of increasingly violent atrocities committed by Crick's forces, Neftalí and Proserpina, with the help of a wounded Bengal tigress, three scheming triplets, and an underground network of rebel tías, rise up to reclaim their city-and in the process, unlock Rivas's connection to Three Rivers itself. An adventure that only the acclaimed Fernando A. Flores could dream up, Brother Brontë is a mordant, gonzo romp through a ruined world that, in its dysfunction, tyranny, and disparity, feels uncannily like our own. With his most ambitious book yet, Flores once again bends what fiction can do, in the process crafting a moving and unforgettable story of perseverance.

Brother Brontë

Exposes the anatomy of organizational harm and how to save institutions from toxic cultures While we often read about the scandals organizations cause, we are often left wondering: why do organizations keep causing harm? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional workplaces we must understand the economic, social, and governmental contexts. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as climate change, structural abuse, and the failures of both private and public institutions. Stories include: <ul><li>The role the US Federal Aviation Authority played in Boeing’s failure to ensure the safety of its 737 MAX airplanes</li><li>Volkswagen executives installing emission cheating software in 11 million vehicles</li><li>How Monsanto suppressed critical scientific evidence of the harmful nature of some of its most important products.</li></ul> Accessible, engaging, and full of insight, Toxic, breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and equips readers with tools to unearth and prevent toxicity.

'Du hast mich gefragt, wer auf diesen Fotos du bist. Weißt du das überhaupt selbst?'
Als ich nicht antworte, nickt er nur kurz, dann geht er, und ein kühler Abendwind folgt ihm durch den Garten wie der Schatten einer Erinnerung.

Alle paar Jahre beginnt für Lizzy ein neues Leben, wenn sie mit ihrer Mutter und ihrer jüngeren Schwester in ein anderes Land zieht. Doch als ihre Familie in ein verlassenes Haus nach Deutschland übersiedelt, spürt Lizzy, dass dieses Mal etwas anders ist. Das Haus birgt ein Geheimnis.

Ägäis-Krimis

Ein spannungsgeladener Kriminalfall, der hinter die paradiesische Fassade von Paros blickt. 

Der brutale Mord an einem Stadtbeamten erschüttert die Idylle der Kykladeninsel Paros. Als der pensionierte Klaus Haber am einsamen Strand von Palio Karnagio eine grausam zugerichtete Leiche entdeckt, beginnt Kommissar Filippos Panos' Jagd nach einem Täter in einem Netz aus Korruption und Profitgier. Während der mächtige Clubbesitzer Rico Angelidis seine skrupellosen Expansionspläne verfolgt und Beamte instrumentalisiert, formiert sich mit "Save Paros" erbitterter Widerstand gegen die ausufernde Kommerzialisierung der Insel.

Als ein zweiter Mord geschieht und Angelidis spurlos verschwindet, geraten sowohl die Aktivisten als auch die Investoren ins Visier. Kommissar Panos muss tief in die Abgründe der parischen Gesellschaft eintauchen, bevor die Gewalt das letzte Stück Paradies verschlingt.

Für Fans von Jean-Luc Bannalec und Donna Leon - ein mediterraner Krimi, der den bitteren Preis des Massentourismus in schonungsloser Klarheit offenbart.

Ein Ägäis-Krimi. Ein spannender Inselkrimi über Korruption, Umweltzerstörung und tödliche Machenschaften auf Paros
