The Girl In Cell A

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

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.

Roman

Meckels Messerzüge

After years spent outrunning her past, Cecília reexamines the case of a close family friend killed by a colleague and rival: her father. In 1988, shortly after Brazil reestablishes democratic rule, a state congressman is shot and killed in Porto Alegre. The main suspect: a close friend and colleague in congress, Representative Raul Matzenbacher. Many years later, Cecília Matzenbacher, his daughter, migrates from Southern Brazil to California, where she finds work as a taxidermist. Her temperament is ideally suited to this type of restoration and the careful reconstruction of a world frozen in time. But as Cecília confronts her own history and the memories of the investigation surrounding her father, her knack for composition frays. When news arrives that Raul has suffered a stroke and Cecília's chances to see him again may be limited, her past can no longer stay put, posed like a specimen behind glass. Her story emerges, the past stalking her present, threatening to derail the life she's made for herself in the United States. In sleek, arresting prose imbued with the suspense-filled edge of a true-crime thriller, Diorama cements Carol Bensimon's status as one of the most dynamic voices in contemporary Brazilian literature and demonstrates her narrative gifts at their apex. Fusing police procedural, coming-of-age story, and family drama, Diorama is a moving mystery about what and how we remember, a novel that endangers our notions of what is or isn't still alive inside all of us.

FROM THE AUTHOR OF AS YOUNG AS THIS'So wryly funny ... Roxy Dunn writes so smoothly about the limitations - and liberations - of adult love with such delicacy and honesty' CLAIRE DAVERLEY, author of Talking at Night'A thoroughly amusing coming of age (in your thirties) novel written with wit, honesty and tenderness' CLAIRE POWELL, author of At the TableIndependence seems to be drifting away from Misty.

Now she's single, back in her childhood bedroom, on crutches from knee surgery, and relying on her mother to help her with the smallest of tasks. This isn't how thirty-two was meant to look.When Misty turns to dating apps, she's immediately intrigued by charismatic, handsome Christopher - so intrigued that she doesn't doesn't even notice the acronym 'ENM' on his profile. By the time she discovers that it stands for 'ethical non-monogamy' - and that he's in a long-term open relationship - she already feels such undeniable, dizzying chemistry that she decides to give things a go.And so Misty makes a pact with herself to date Christopher for the next six weeks while his partner is away.

The writing is just so good and moreish. I loved it' Catherine Airey, author of Confessions'Roxy Dunn is oh so good on love ...

The Home of the Drowned

PREMIO CLARÍN DE NOVELA «Una novela actual y misteriosa, en la tradición del weird y con citas a Arthur Machen, Lovecraft o Chambers, con algo de terror ecológico y una notable reconstrucción histórica'. -Mariana Enriquez Hay algo vivo e inclasificable que recorre el planeta Tierra desde su creación y parece capaz de sobrevivirlo. Se extiende bajo la superficie y emerge como una planta fantástica, en múltiples sentidos. De ella darán testimonio los distintos narradores de la novela -cuyas voces se escuchan en 1504, 1888, 1945- y el arco temporal de un futuro que solo la literatura puede imaginar. Una y otra vez, mientras la humanidad crece y se piensa, el bionte, este organismo que aterra pero que también refugia, será un espejo del devenir histórico bajo el horror de su idea de progreso. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION CLARÍN NOVEL PRIZE &gt;There is something alive and unclassifiable that has coursed through planet Earth since its creation--and seems capable of outliving it. It spreads beneath the surface and emerges like a fantastic plant, in every sense of the word. Its existence is recounted by the novel's different narrators--voices that speak from 1504, 1888, and 1945--and through the temporal arc of a future that only literature can imagine. Time and again, as humanity grows and reflects upon itself, the biont--this organism that both terrifies and shelters--becomes a mirror of historical evolution, shadowed by the horror of its own idea of progress.

Named one of Ten Best Books of 2025 by The Wall Street Journal Named one of Ten Best Books of 2025 by The Washington Post Named a Best Novel of 2025 by NPR and Publishers Weekly Named a Best Historical Novel of 2025 by The New York Times "A powerful and original epic . . . Deadly politics, tragic romance and dangerous sea journeys keep the drama at a spirited boil." -The New York Times "An epic of extraordinary abundance . . . modern and mythological. . . wondrous enough to endure." -The Wall Street Journal "An epic that feels less created than unearthed . . . The Wayfinder is sui generis - a tapestry of South Pacific myth, archetypal quest, political allegory, environmental jeremiad and feminist revision that feels both ancient and impossibly relevant." -The Washington Post Talking corpses, poetic parrots, and a fan that wafts the breath of life-this is the world young K¿rero finds herself thrust into when a mysterious visitor lands on her island, a place so remote its inhabitants have forgotten the word for stranger. Her people are desperate and on the brink of starvation, and the wayward stranger offers them an impossible choice: they can remain in the only home they've ever known and await the uncertainty to come, or K¿rero can join him and venture into unfamiliar waters, guided by only the night sky and his assurance of a bountiful future in the Kingdom of Tonga. What K¿rero and her people don't know is that the promised refuge is no utopia-instead, Tonga is an empire at war and on the verge of collapse, a place where brains are regularly liberated from skulls and souls get trapped in coconuts with some frequency. The perils of Tonga are compounded by a royal feud: loyalties are shifting, graves are being opened, and everyone lives in fear of a jellyfish tattoo. Here, survival can rest on a perfectly performed dance or the acceptance of a cup of kava. Together, the stranger and K¿rero embark upon an epic voyage-one that will deliver them either to salvation or to the depths of the Pacific. Evoking the grandeur of Wolf Hall and the splendor of Sh¿gun, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Adam Johnson conjures oral history, restores the natural world, and locates what's best in humanity. Toweringly ambitious and breathtakingly immersive, The Wayfinder is an instant, timeless classic.

The Wayfinder

"An astonishing debut as mesmerizing as it is unnerving." --Joyce Carol Oates A day-in-the-life debut novel about a fading socialite on the hunt for someone to kill her before her next SoulCycle class. "A tale of suspense, a statement, a cry for help, and a delicious tour-de-force." --Nell Zink New York City, 2014. Agnes Maurer seeks a willing murderer and wonders what she should wear. Candidates include: an icy magazine editor with a special cutlery set; an eccentric designer from her past; and Agnes's cruel novelist boyfriend. As she Ubers from Upper East Side shopping to Craigslist gun deals, Agnes' desperation becomes an exhibition, a swan song of millennial sexuality as internalized abuse and consummate style, with the knob righty-tightened all the way. Newton's prose is disturbingly fun, relentless, shattering. A crafted study of existential despair that culminates in a worthy, intense denouement.

Agnes Lives!
