        Ein angesehener Privatbankier wird erpresst. In einem Luxushotel wird ein Escort-Girl brutal ermordet und die Vereinten Nationen sind Ziel eines Anschlagplans islamistischer Terrorristen.    In dem ersten Teil der Thriller-Trilogie »Geneva Girl – Todesursache unbekannt« geht es um Schwarzgeld, Mord und Terrorgefahr in einer der teuersten Städte der Welt: Genf. Im Mittelpunkt des Buches steht eine deutsche Praktikantin bei den Vereinten Nationen, die an Angststörungen und Klaustrophobie leidet, und zwischen die Fronten von Geheimdienst und Diplomatie gerät. Es handelt sich um eine brisante Mischung aus Psycho- und Politthriller. Die Idee zu dem Roman lieferte der nie aufgeklärte Tod des ehemaligen Ministerpräsidenten von Schleswig-Holstein Uwe Barschel im Genfer Hotel Beau-Rivage.

        Evita

        by Dvora Schechner

        Evita – de Dvora Schechner Esta es la fascinante historia de Eva Perón (1919-1952) en su corta pero intensa trayectoria. Trata de las pasiones, los temores y los odios, las gentes, las situaciones y el entorno que la hicieron ser “Evita”. “Confieso que tengo una ambición, una gran ambición personal: quisiera que el nombre de Evita figurase alguna vez en la Historia de mi Patria” escribió unos meses antes de morir. Indudablemente ha conquistado su lugar. Más, ese lugar ?donde se encuentra? Numerosas son las obras que protagoniza, tanto estudios académicos como novelas, cine, teatro, poesía. La mayoría adopta uno de los mitos contradictorios de quien fue la mujer más amada, pero también la más odiada y temida en su tiempo. Para unos es La Abanderada de los Trabajadores, La Madre de los Humildes, Santa Evita. Para otros, La prostituta, La Mujer del Látigo, La Nazi-Peronista. A 20 años de su muerte, hubo jóvenes que creían que si Evita viviera, sería una guerrillera Montonera. En esta biografía Evita es observada desde otras latitudes. Se analiza la revolución peronista y se revisa nuevamente la doctrina de Juan Perón, en la cual ensambla perfectamente la Evita real, que plasma su propio carisma para actuar en un régimen populista autoritario. Esta, la Evita de verdad, es más interesante y rica en facetas, que cualquier leyenda. La autora, Dvora Schechner – escritora y educadora israelí, miembro del kibbutz Gazit en la Baja Galilea – es nacida en Buenos Aires en 1930. En su adolescencia se opuso al peronismo hasta que emigró a Israel en 1952, dos meses antes de la muerte de Eva Perón. Una película documental con las fotos de los millones de argentinos llorándola la impulsó a tratar de descifrar el enigma de esa personalidad histórica. ?Quién fue Evita; qué hay detrás del amor y del odio que despierta es mujer hasta hoy mismo? Dvora Schechner estudió Humanidades en el Seminario Oranim, es licenciada en Filosofía e Historia en la Universidad de Tel Aviv. Escribió: La Guerra Civil Española (1962 – 1970), La Inquisición Española (1972), Evita (1995), Una Muchacha Política (2003).

        The European or Mediterranean cultivated olive (Olea europaea L., subsp. europaea, var. europaea) is one of the most ancient cultivated fruit tree crops. Today, hundreds of olive varieties are grown to produce high-quality fruit for oil and for table olives consumption. The olive industry has undergone profound innovations in the past 30 years, due to scientific and technical advances, particularly in genomics, breeding, orchard management, mechanization and agro-ecology, although not all these developments are yet available to smaller producers. Olive cultivation has also spread to many countries outside the Mediterranean Basin, where it ihas been traditionally present for over 6,000 years. These new olive-growing countries are experiencing further expansion of the industry, due to increased awareness of the nutritional and health properties of extra virgin olive oil. This book is a much-needed update on olive biology and cultivation, with contributions from leading international experts, and includes: Biology Genetics and breeding Olive propagation and nursery Planting new olive orchards Horticultural management of olive orchards Plant protection Olive by-products (wood, leaves) Multifunctionality of olive groves and ecosystem services The Olive: Botany and Production is invaluable for researchers and students in horticulture and agriculture, as well as producers involved in olive orchard management.

        Magic and conjuring inhabit the boundaries and the borderlands of performance. The conjuror’s act of demonstrating the apparently impossible, the uncanny, the marvellous, or the grotesque challenges the spectator’s sense of reality.

        THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STRANGER LIGHT

        by VLADIMIR P. ŠTEFANEC

        THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STRANGER LIGHT (Najlepša neznanka svetloba) The novel’s starting point is six portraits on the desk of the main character. These photographs show the people closest to him, with whom his life to date, its determinants, longings, regrets, captivity, the possibility of liberation, has been connected. Through fragments of memory, their stories are woven into a common story about their past, torn between the seemingly carefree life in the late nineteenth century until the 1920s, when the looming shadows of world events reached Slovenia. In this novel about liberation achieved through the clearing of an individual’s past and his family’s, about everyday melancholy and the melancholy of everyday life, which nevertheless includes some of what makes life exciting and precious, the main character keeps wondering what distance to choose for the best photographic result, as well as how close to let someone come without letting them penetrate his isolation.
