View Rights Portal»Ich bekam einen Revolver, um uns zu verteidigen«, sagte Constance, »und ich machte bald davon Gebrauch.« New Jersey 1914: Die Schwestern Constance, Norma und Fleurette führen ein zurückgezogenes Leben auf ihrer kleinen Farm unweit von New York – bis ein Unfall ihr Leben auf den Kopf stellt und ein reicher Fabrikant ihnen übel mitspielt. Doch der hat nicht mit Constance gerechnet. Die junge Frau, die fast jeden Mann um Haupteslänge überragt, nimmt unerschrocken den Kampf um ihr Recht auf. Selbst Schlägertrupps, die die Farm der Schwestern heimsuchen, können sie nicht einschüchtern. Mit allen Mitteln verteidigt sie ihr Leben und das ihrer Schwestern und zeigt den Halunken, wo es lang geht. Das hat das kleine Städtchen noch nicht gesehen – und ernennt Constance zum ersten weiblichen Sheriff … Ein turbulenter und höchst unterhaltsamer Roman der New-York-Times-Bestseller-Autorin Amy Stewart über den ersten weiblichen Sheriff – »mit den unvergesslichsten und mitreißendsten Frauenfiguren, die mir seit langem begegnet sind. Ich habe jede Seite geliebt … eine Geschichte, die zu gut ist, um wahr zu sein (aber meistens wahr!)«. Elizabeth Gilbert

T for Tessa - Suddenly Secret Agent (Vol. 1) T for Tessa and top secret! The first volume of a new secret agent series combines coolness, a touch of romance, and a ton of humor as Tessa trips into her first detective case. Together with her Mongolian gerbil Hector, a talking sidekick, Tessa soon turns into a real top-notch agent. Of course, she still retains her chaotic nature, which makes for a lot of situation comedy. Extremely shy and clumsy – it’s no wonder Tessa would rather be someone else. Like a member of Gimme Four, for example, the super famous girl group at her school. Then the unimaginable happens: Tessa passes the audition and makes it into the band! But it’s not exactly what she thought it would be. The rehearsals are disrupted by sketchy fans, wild chases at night, and ruthless mafiosi. And Tessa’s new band mates seem to have other hobbies besides music. Or how else would you explain the weapons in the instrument cases?
T for Tessa - Codeword Lotus Flower (Vol. 2) From Hamburg Harbour to Rotterdam - Tessa topsecret!Shooting training, karate, heart palpitations and band rehearsals - Tessa Neumann's comfortable life has finally come to an end since she "accidentally" became an agent of the internationally operating secret service R.I.N.G. Now she's out to put a stop to the masterminds of organized crime.And it’s Tessa's first mission to be involved from the very beginning! Quite stressful but usually absolutely okay, if not now of all times Timo Erhardt, the crush of her sleepless nights, would show interest in her. How can fate throw such lousy timing at her? Actually, Tessa would really like to take a break, but evil never sleeps, as we all know. The scene of the crime in this mission is the port of Hamburg. Here, the customs investigation has uncovered 16 tons of cocaine in the container of a cargo ship. A remarkable catch! But one thing soon becomes clear to Tessa, her band mates and the Mongolian gerbil Hector: the real culprits are not in Hamburg, but in Rotterdam. There a cat-and-mouse game begins, in which the girls have to show what they are made of. With their combined forces, they manage to lure the criminals into a trap so that the Dutch police can arrest them. But mousy Hector discovers that drugs are not the only commodity being smuggled across Europe via Rotterdam: In fact, one of the smugglers is also dealing in exotic animals, animals listed as Endangered Species, so they can't be imported. But be assured, Hector wouldn't be Hector if he didn't do everything he could to save the animals!

She wants to research how well recycling clothes works: Customers can return their used clothing, and stores like Fashionista refurbish the clothes and donate them to neighborhood projects. With the help of a GPS tracker sewn into a used sweater, they track the sweater to the Suez Canal ... but this does not fit the promises of Fashionista at all. The problem of old clothes imports seems to be even bigger than Tessa suspects.

This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.
