        Leuchtfeuerherzen

        by Janz, Tanja

        Romantisch, prickelnd, zum Träumen schön - der neue Sommerroman von Bestsellerautorin Tanja Janz: voller Wellenglitzern, Nordseeträume und Liebesglück. Sommer am Meer, ein Praktikum in einem Naturschutzgebiet und eine WG ohne Eltern: Besser könnte Alicia sich ihre Ferien an der Nordsee in St. Peter-Ording gar nicht vorstellen. Mit den jungen Bewohnern aus der Leuchtturm-WG freundet sich Alicia schnell an. Nur was sie von Surfer Liam halten soll, weiß sie nicht. Er scheint nichts ernst zu nehmen und jagt dauernd der nächsten Welle hinterher. Doch bei gemeinsamen Wattwanderungen und Müllsammelaktionen überrascht Liam sie plötzlich mit seiner einfühlsamen Art und seiner Liebe zur Natur. Und obwohl Alicia sich geschworen hat, erst einmal die Finger von Jungs zu lassen, klopft ihr Herz in seiner Nähe mit einem Mal so laut wie die tosende Brandung. Aber ist das Prickeln zwischen ihnen stark genug, um alle Differenzen zu überwinden?

        Die Wunder

        Roman | Elegant und feministisch | Das Sensationsdebüt über die jüngere Geschichte Spaniens

        by Elena Medel

        Noch nie sind sie sich begegnet: María und Alicia, Großmutter und Enkelin. Die Ältere kommt Ende der Sechziger einer Schande wegen nach Madrid, arbeitet als Kindermädchen, als Hausangestellte, der komplette Lohn fortan bestimmt für die zurückgelassene, fast unbekannte Tochter. Die Jüngere flieht Jahrzehnte später in die Stadt, von einer Tragödie um ihre Herkunft und den Schlaf gebracht. María und Alicia, beide führen sie ein Frauenleben, beiden fehlt das Geld. Und damit die Zuversicht und das Vertrauen. In sich selbst, ihre Männer, dieses Land, in dem sich alles verändert zu haben scheint, bis auf das eigene Elend. Und plötzlich fordert jede auf ihre Weise die hergebrachte Ordnung heraus. Als literarische Ausnahmeerscheinung gefeiert, wurde ihr Sensationsdebüt blitzschnell zum Klassiker einer neuen Generation. Elena Medel schreibt darin die jüngere Geschichte Spaniens aus Sicht der vergessenen Hälfte. Die Wunder ist ein eleganter feministischer Bildungsroman über die herrschenden Kräfte, über das Geld, das Begehren, die Mutterliebe, und wie sie als Waffen seit jeher gegen die Frauen verwendet werden. Augenöffnend und wunderschön.

        Das Jahr 15

        Roman

        by Raquel Queiroz, Ingrid Schwamborn

        Die Dürrekatastrophe des Jahres 1915 im Nordosten Brasiliens stürzt die Landbevölkerung in tiefes Elend. Die feudalen Besitzverhältnisse erlauben es den Herren, die Abhängigen einfach zu entlassen oder aber „mildtätig“ für sie zu sorgen. Die Konsequenzen beider Verhaltensweisen schildert eindringlich der Roman. Nach der Dürre von 1915 zog die Familie der Autorin aus dem Nordosten nach Rio de Janeiro. 1930 debütierte sie mit dem vorliegenden Roman. Er ist einer der frühesten in der Reihe der großen Prosaepen des Nordostens, Vorläufer der Werke von Graciliano Ramos, José Lins do Rêgo und Guimarã;es Rosa.

        El laberinto de la soledad by Octavio Paz

        by Catherine Davies, Anthony Stanton

        If one had to identify one central, defining text from modern Mexican culture, it would be Octavio Paz´s famous essay, El laberinto de la soledad. This fully annotated edition includes the complete text in Spanish (with the author's final revisions), and notes and additional material in English. The editor's introduction contextualizes the essay and discusses central features: autobiographical and textual origins, intellectual sources, reception and canonization, generic ambiguity, structure, and governing symbols. The intellectual sources identified range from Marx, Nietzsche and Freud to the more contemporary ones of the French College of Sociology (Caillois), the Surrealist movement, the ideas of D. H. Lawrence, previous essays from writers in Mexico (such as Samuel Ramos) and Latin America. Several lines of interpretation are examined to show how the work can be read as a psycho-historical essay, an autobiographical construct or a modern literary myth. Transdisciplinary by nature, this literary essay is both an imaginative construction of personal and national identity, and also a critical deconstruction of dominant stereotypes. It seeks to redefine the complex relationships that exist between psychology, myth, history and Mexican culture. This edition also includes excerpts of the author's opinions on his essay, a time-line of Mexican history, a selected vocabulary, and themes for discussion and debate. Paz's first full-length prose work remains his most well-known and widely read text, and this edition will appeal to sixth-form and university students, teachers, researchers and general readers with a knowledge of Spanish. ;
