View Rights Portal"LAST CHANCE." Nika looks in the mirror one Sunday morning, feeling rather hungover, to see this message daubed on the glass. Who wrote it? And what does it mean? Where are Nika’s house keys and her phone? Where’s Jenny, her flatmate? And why does she feel so terrible this morning – surely she didn’t have that much to drink last night? It’s only when she turns on the TV and sees the morning news that Nika realises it’s not Sunday at all – it’s Tuesday. Two whole days have gone by, and she has no memory of them. During those two days something terrible must have happened. But what?With Aquila, Ursula Poznanski has produced a true psychological thriller. She tells the story almost entirely in reverse, keeping the reader on tenterhooks until the very last page. Not until the shocking twist at the end of the book do we find out what really happened to Nika during those two lost days.
Die Berliner Kommerzienrätin Jenny Treibel hat einen Hang zum Poetischen und Schwärmerischen – was sie nicht davon abhält, geschickt eine unstandesgemäße Heirat ihres Sohnes zu verhindern. »Frau Jenny Treibel«, erschienen 1892, gilt als der witzigste Roman Fontanes. »Das herrlichste, was wir haben, ist doch die Sprache«, heißt es im Roman, und in der Tat: Mehr andeutend als ausführend, geben die Dialoge ein klares und umfassendes Bild der Sprechenden und der Welt, in der sie leben.
When Jenny von Sperber first met Fritz, the gorilla didn’t let her out of his sight. He was already over 50 years old then, but he was still extremely charismatic. One thing matters for the journalist: she wants to find out everything about Fritz’s life. Born in 1963, he was captured in the wild and came from Cameroon to Germany in 1966. At that time, apes were still regarded as a curiosity in zoos. When a ban was declared on the wild gorilla trade, Fritz was already a father of many youngsters. This fascinating gorilla-family saga not only recounts the eventful life of Fritz, but also shows the development in European zoos in handling wild animals. Nowadays, things have certainly improved. But there are still questions, for example, what does it do to us when we marvel at our closest relatives behind glass? And is it even still current to confine apes ... was it ever?
Marta Breen, in ihrer Heimat Norwegen einer der profiliertesten Feministinnen, und Jenny Jordahl, preisgekrönte Illustratorin, geben mit befreiendem Humor und erfrischenden Illustrationen einen neuen Blick auf Frauen unserer Geschichte, darunter Rosa Luxemburg, Emmeline Pankhurst, Sojourner Truth, Margaret Sanger und Malala Yousafzai. Hier werden engagiert, leichtfüßig und pointiert die Geschichten all der furchtlosen Frauen erzählt, die seit über 150 Jahren und bis heute leidenschaftlich für die Rechte der Frauen auf der ganzen Welt kämpfen: Für das Recht, zu wählen. Für das Recht über den eigenen Körper zu bestimmen. Für das Recht, zu leben wie, und zu lieben, wen man will. Und für wirtschaftliche Unabhängigkeit, für Bildung und Beruf. Eine kraftvolle Hommage an den Mut und den Willen der Frauen, die für ihre Rechte kämpfen und gekämpft haben. Und ein Appell dafür, weiterhin zu kämpfen!
Where do we go when Nowhere is the only destination left? Kerrybrook is Jana‘s favourite virtual escape. An idyllic fishing village with beautiful nature and, every now and then, a breeze of fresh air from the nearby sea. Jana, is this world‘s designer and person in power, she’s satisfied with her masterpiece. Best job so far. Until one day, a dead body is found, in both, ’Virtual Reality‘ and the real world. In times of climate change, VR is the only safe place for humankind. That‘s why Jana needs to solve the crime, she’s responsible for stopping the destruction. • CliFi Thriller (Climate Fiction): Climate change & virtual reality • For fans of Black Mirror (Netflix) • All age readers • Strong, female protagonist • Highly relevant topic WHITE RAVENS recommendation (2021): "In the not too distant future, the world is an inhospitable place: droughts, storms, floods. That’s why world designers construct »alternative realities«, such as landscapes populated by dinosaurs, life at court in the Middle Ages, and surfing and chilling out on a beach. People can switch between these worlds at will and, when they die there, they are not truly dead; instead, they merely return to the »real world« – same as at night when they sleep. Then they are reunited with their body, which is lying inside a capsule. In »Cryptos«, Ursula Poznanski pulls out all the stops of storytelling: She embeds numerous references to human and intellectual history in an action-packed and extremely suspenseful thriller plot. In the process, she raises central existential and ontological questions that result from the interplay between the real and the virtual worlds. This complex dystopian novel is narrated in such an enjoyable way that readers will hardly notice their brains going into overdrive as they devour it."
