Professor Dr Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld

McCall Smith A: The Lost Language of
Oysters / LF

The Lost Language of Oysters

Professor Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld is not just any German professor - he is the author of that great work of scholarship, Portuguese Irregular Verbs. His eminence in language studies is widely recognised, even if it is rarely acknowledged by his colleague, Professor Detlev-Amadeus Unterholzer, author of a much less important work on the subjunctive. Their rivalry bubbles away under the surface, but is apt to come into the open if something unusual disturbs the calm waters of the institute in Regensburg in which they both work. One such event is the entrance from New Orleans of two visiting scholars, Professor Pom Pom Boisseau and Professor Alice Martinique, Provencal language experts who arrive on large, noisy motorbikes... 'A charming tale of academic rivalry and ill-fated infatuation... marvellous' Scottish Field 'It's impossible not to root for von Igelfeld' Scotsman

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

In this emotional and empowering romance from the author of A Shot in the Dark, two musicians compete to win a prestigious piano competition . . . until sparks fly. Can a fiery romance help them to heal old wounds? “Truly worth swooning over.”—The New York Times Goldie Gensler has always wanted to be a concert musician like her parents, who were both principal musicians in the New York Philharmonic, but after a devastating multiple sclerosis diagnosis, that dream feels more urgent than ever. The world’s most prestigious international piano competition is coming up in two months in Stockholm. It’s the perfect chance for Goldie to make her dream come true. But it won’t be easy, because Jamie Larson, with his perfect technique and gorgeous ocean blue eyes, is competing too. After his brother’s death three years ago, Jamie just doesn’t love music like he used to, and he has always resented Goldie for her easy road to professional musicianship, paved by her wealthy and talented parents. He’s spent hours and hours studying to make it from small-town Iowa to the best music school in New York City. Yet his technical precision is no match for Goldie’s imperfect but emotionally resonant performances that make audiences swoon. Nevertheless, Jamie is determined to prove that skill and dedication are what make a virtuoso musician. Goldie and Jamie each have their own reasons to win, but when unexpected events force them to practice—and live—together in Goldie’s apartment over the holidays, they discover a passion for far more than music.

A Poem for Every Spring Day

Emily Austin, the bestselling “queen of darkly quirky, endearingly flawed heroines” (Sarah Haywood, author of The Cactus), returns with a luminous new novel following a librarian who comes back to work after a mental breakdown only to confront book-banning crusaders in an empowering story of grief, love, and the power of libraries. Darcy’s life turned out better than she could have ever imagined. She is a librarian at the local branch, while her wife Joy runs a book binding service. Between the two of them, there is no more room on their shelves with their ample book collections, various knickknacks and bobbles, and dried bouquets. Rounding out their ideal life is two cats and a sun-soaked house by the lake. But when Darcy receives the news that her ex-boyfriend, Ben, has passed away, she spirals into a pit of guilt and regret, resulting in a mental breakdown and medical leave from the library. When she returns to work, she is met by unrest in her community and protests surrounding intellectual freedom, resulting in a call for book bans and a second look at the branch’s upcoming DEI programs. Through the support of her community, colleagues, and the personal growth that results from examining her previous relationships, Darcy comes into her own agency and the truest version of herself. Is This a Cry for Help? not only offers a moving portrait of queer life after coming of age but also powerfully explores questions about sexuality, community, and the importance of libraries.

Is This a Cry for Help?

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

Why do we love who we love? Why do we stay in unfulfilling relationships, or stray from rewarding ones? Why do some couples crash and burn while others stay madly in love? In The Intimate Animal, Dr Justin Garcia - one of the world's leading experts on the science of love and sex - reveals that the answer to these questions lies in our evolution. We are biologically wired to connect with each other, yet our inner intimate animal is often at odds with the way we live now. Dr Garcia explains the multiplicity of human sexual and romantic behaviour using cutting-edge research from his team of researchers at the world-leading Kinsey Institute, including: - Why we have evolved to live and die for love - Why searching for 'the one' is futile- Why we are wired for 'social monogamy' but not necessarily 'sexual monogamy'- Why some people are more likely to cheat With practical tips on love and lust - the two biological systems often in painful conflict - The Intimate Animal is the essential, research-backed guide for anyone who wants to forge deeper, more intimate connections in these disconnected times. 'Garcia brings us back to the animal inside to remind us that even when connection, love, and desire feel elusive, it's exactly what we're wired for' Esther Perel, bestselling author of Mating in Captivity 'Fascinating and useful' The Telegraph Magazine 'A thoughtful and well-researched treatise' The Sunday Times

An evolutionary exploration of love, sex and relationships. Dr. Justin Garcia is a world-leading expert on the science of love and sex. In his first book, he explores the multiplicity of human sexual and romantic behaviour, the forces behind our intimacy instincts, and why humans across the globe live and die for love. Our competing evolutionary desires for sex and intimacy create highs and lows in our romantic and sexual lives. The Intimate Animal provides practical tips on love and attraction - two biological systems often in painful conflict - and presents compelling case studies to help deepen and strengthen our relationships. Sharing the knowledge that he has acquired working on the frontlines of modern love and sex research, Dr. Garcia helps us to understand the science behind a spectrum of human intimate experiences. From the intimacy crisis, physical affection, redefining gender roles and courtship norms, to understanding why we stay in abusive relationships and stray from fulfilling ones, this book will help you understand how to successfully look for love and cultivate a rewarding relationship in an ever-changing, high-speed digital age. From infatuation to heartbreak, The Intimate Animal offers us the first evolutionary understanding of the entire life course of our intimate relationships - how we date, mate, break and remake our love lives.

Fünf Leben, in denen sich die jüngste europäische Geschichte widerspiegelt

Bosnien Anfang der 90er. Fünf Personen treten vor die Bühne: Zwei Bosniaken, zwei Serben und eine Kroatin. Eindrucksvoll erzählen sie von der Tragik, dem Zauber und den Sehnsüchten in ihrer Heimat. Dabei kreisen ihre Gedanken stets um Familien, um Liebe und ums Überleben. 
"Senada oder Der Tag trägt die Last" vereint diese fünf bewegenden Novellen, die von vielschichtigen Lebensschicksalen aus dem ehemaligen Jugoslawien erzählen. Mit eindringlicher Kraft und sprachlicher Präzision gelingt es Karsten Dümmel, individuelle Erfahrungen von Krieg, Flucht, Verlust und Identität zusammenzuführen und dem Unsagbaren eine Stimme zu geben. Zwischen Zerbrechlichkeit und Widerstandskraft ensteht so ein Raum für Erinnerung und Mitgefühl. Ein Buch, das Brücken schlagen kann und dem Vergessen mutig entgegentritt.

Senada oder Der Tag trägt die Last

'Enrique Vila-Matas zündet [...] ein literarisches Feuerwerk, das in unzähligen geistreich-witzigen intertextuellen Fäden auf uns LeserInnen herabregnet.' - Thomas Plaul, Lesart

Nach dem Tod des Vaters kümmert sich Simon Schneider Reus um das verfallene Elternhaus in Cadaqués und um seine literarische Tätigkeit: Er beliefert Autoren mit literarischen Zitaten. Einer dieser Schriftsteller ist sein Bruder Rainer, der 20 Jahre zuvor nach New York ausgewandert, dort mit der Publikation seiner Romane zu einem der größten Stars der Literaturszene geworden ist und eine Art pynchoneske Existenz lebt. Es gibt keine Fotos von ihm, niemand weiß, wo er wohnt, zu seinem Werk äußert er sich, wenn überhaupt, nur schriftlich.
Auf der Suche nach Inspiration unternimmt Simon an einem Oktoberwochenende 2017, als die katalanischen Unabhängigkeitsbestrebungen ihren Höhepunkt erreichen, einen Spaziergang. Auf diesem sinnt er nicht nur seinem Leben und seinem Beruf nach, sondern muss sich auch mit der Nachricht seines Bruders auseinandersetzen, dass dieser auf dem Weg nach Barcelona sei und ihn unbedingt sehen müsse. Bei diesem Treffen prallen nicht nur zwei gegensätzliche Charaktere aufeinander, sondern auch zwei gegensätzliche Ansichten, wie es um die Originalität in der Literatur bestellt ist. Mit stilistischer Eleganz und feinem Humor lotet Vila-Matas in diesem Roman die Fragen nach Originalität sowie nach dem Verhältnis von Realität und Fiktion in der Literatur aus.

Dieser sinnlose Nebel

Jeremy Cooper, the author of Brian, returns with Discord, a subjective journey through the world of classical music. On a night in August, an audience at the Royal Albert Hall attends the first ever concert of Distant Voices. The Proms performance is the culmination of a year's work between the middle-aged composer Rebekah Rosen and the young star-saxophonist Evie Bennet. Alternating between both perspectives, Discord charts the course of their intense and at times fractious relationship, the resonances and dissonances both women find within one another, as well as the struggles and satisfactions that accompany an artistic life. At the heart of the novel is an inquiry into the generative force behind creative collaboration. In what ways does the inexpressible - that amorphous space of friction and unity between musicians - become indelible? And by what process do flawed individuals create works of transcendence? Deeply insightful, at turns poignant and wry, Discord affirms Jeremy Cooper's status as one of the most interesting fiction writers at work today.

Charting the course of the intense and at times fractious relationship between&nbsp;middle-aged composer Rebekah Rosen and the young star-saxophonist Evie Bennet,&nbsp;Discord&nbsp;is a wry and insightful&nbsp;exploration of creative collaboration.
