        Delphine über den Dächern

        Ein Ballettroman aus Paris

        by Odette Joyeux

        »Beide wollen die Hauptrolle. Doch nur eine wird sie bekommen …« Die verträumte Delphine wächst bei ihrer verwitweten Mutter auf, die viele Opfer bringt, damit ihre Tochter Ballett tanzen darf. Ganz anders Julie: Die Tochter aus reichem Hause ist verzärtelt, stets von sich überzeugt und Liebling ihrer Lehrerin. Beide besuchen die Ballettklasse der Pariser Opera Garnier und bekommen die Chance, an der Seite des umschwärmten Solisten Ivan Barlof die Galatea zu tanzen. Als Delphine die Rolle ergattert und Julie nur zweite Besetzung wird, sinnt sie auf Rache und stellt der arglosen Delphine eine Falle, die alles verändern wird … Seit Generationen lieben Mädchen und ihre Mütter die Geschichte der kleinen Pariser Elevin Delphine und ihrer Widersacherin Julie. Die Autorin – einst selber Ballettschülerin an der Opera Garnier – gewährt einen realistischen Einblick in die häufig romantisierte, in Wahrheit recht unbarmherzige Welt des klassischen Balletts. Und berührt gleichsam die universellen Themen an der Schwelle zum Erwachsenwerden: Leistungsdruck, Versagensangst, das wechselhafte Gefühl zum eigenen Körper oder der Wunsch, sich zu behaupten. Das wahrscheinlich schönste Ballettbuch aller Zeiten – endlich neu aufgelegt! Illustriert von Leanne Shapton.

        The Bathroom Chronicles

        100 Frauen. 100 Bilder. 100 Geschichten

        by Friederike Schilbach, Lena Dunham, Sheila Heti, Erica Jong, Leanne Shapton, Niklas Maak

        Das Badezimmer ist vielleicht der letzte private Ort, an den wir uns zurückziehen können. Es ist der Raum für Ruhe und Intimität – und insbesondere für eine Frau der Ort, wo sie ihre Schönheitsgeheimnisse verbirgt und sich jeden Tag aufs Neue verwandeln kann. Jetzt gewähren hundert Frauen einen Einblick in ihre geheimnisvollen Kammern. Die Idee zu diesem Buch kam der Herausgeberin Friederike Schilbach auf einer Ferienreise: »Ich besuchte eine Freundin in Apulien und bemerkte, dass ihr Badezimmer ihrem Charakter ähnelt: luftig, minimalistisch, schön. Ehe ich abreiste, bat ich sie um ein Foto davon sowie um einige Sätze dazu.« Daraus wurde ein ganzes Projekt. Friederike Schilbach fragte Schauspielerinnen wie Lena Dunham, die Schriftstellerinnen Erica Jong und Lily Brett und zahlreiche weitere Frauen, ob sie einen Blick in ihr Badezimmer preisgeben würden. 2016 wurde eine Ausstellung daraus, über die es in der FAS hieß, man würde die Fotos »am liebsten alle zusammen in einem Bildband mit nach Hause nehmen«. Der liegt nun vor. Hundert Frauen teilen darin intime Momente und persönliche Erinnerungen, die zum Nachdenken anregen – und zum Verschenken.

        Golden Thread

        How consistent culture creates purposeful people and high performance

        by Leanne Hamley

        The Golden Thread is a blueprint for authentic organizational culture: what it is, what it isn't, why it matters, and how to build it. If you are passionate about creating an environment where people thrive, you’ll understand the value of real engagement and values alignment. But how do you make it happen? Consciously or not, company culture runs like a golden thread through any organization, and where it is not thoughtfully nurtured it unravels - leaving a toxic environment filled with bureaucracy, politics and poor mental health. The Golden Thread guides business leaders through this concept – exploring cultural diagnostics and revealing what they really mean. This book will show you how to design and develop your own target culture, one that is right for your people and business. It then takes you step by step through the employee lifecycle, helping you to weave your new cultural and values through everything to build a happy, healthy, high performing organization. Leanne Hamley is an experienced leader and business coach specializing in behavioural change , leadership development and organizational culture.

        A Short History of the Blockade

        Giant Beavers, Diplomacy, and Regeneration in Nishnaabewin

        by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson

        In A Short History of the Blockade, award-winning writer Leanne Betasamosake Simpson uses Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg stories, storytelling aesthetics, and practices to explore the generative nature of Indigenous blockades through our relative, the beaver—or in Nishnaabemowin, Amik. Moving through genres, shifting through time, amikwag stories become a lens for the life-giving possibilities of dams and the world-building possibilities of blockades, deepening our understanding of Indigenous resistance as both a negation and an affirmation. Widely recognized as one of the most compelling Indigenous voices of her generation, Simpson’s work breaks open the intersections between politics, story, and song, bringing audiences into a rich and layered world of sound, light, and sovereign creativity. A Short History of the Blockade reveals how the practice of telling stories is also a culture of listening, “a thinking through together,” and ultimately, like the dam or the blockade, an affirmation of life.
