Der Sommer, in dem Linda schwimmen lernte
Roman
by Roy Jacobsen, Gabriele Haefs
Alles ändert sich im Leben des zehnjährigen Finn, als plötzlich seine kleine Halbschwester Linda mutterseelenallein vor der Tür steht – mit einem himmelblauen Koffer und jeder Menge emotionalem Sprengstoff … Es ist das Jahr 1961 – das Jahr, in dem John F. Kennedy Präsident wird, Gagarin in den Weltraum fliegt und der Bau der Berliner Mauer beginnt. Finn wächst in einer schmucklosen Vorstadt von Oslo auf, das Leben ist einfach und sozialdemokratisch. Er ist ein schmächtiger Junge, aber vielleicht der Klügste seiner Klasse. Wacker schlägt er sich mit seiner Mutter durch den Alltag, seit der Vater gestorben ist. Bis eines Tages die kleine Linda Einzug hält: Die Sechsjährige wirkt merkwürdig, pummelig ist sie, abwesend und schweigsam. Auch die Mutter, der einstige Fels in der Brandung, ist anders als sonst. Für Finn beginnt ein Sommer, den er nie vergessen wird … »Der Sommer, in dem Linda schwimmen lernte« ist ein Familienroman voller Wärme und Magie und eine ergreifende Geschichte über die große Macht des Kleinen.

Kahlbutz the Knight
A Visitor from the Past
by Dorothea Flechsig
For decades, the mummy of the knight Christian Friedrich von Kahlbutz has attracted many tourists to the village of Kampehl. After discovering old, hitherto unknown documents about Kahlbutz the Knight, the author has finally been able to put his whole story down in writing. - Strange stories unfold. No rational person would believe what actually happened in the little village of Kampehl, were it not for the fact that the children experienced these things and saw them with their own eyes. Kahlbutz the Knight, who committed a terrible crime over 300 years ago, suddenly comes back to life! - Nils is always being picked on, even though he has never done anything to deserve it. The two bullies Sven and Toni have decided to give him a scare. They steal the mummy of Kahlbutz the Knight from the vault of the village church and tie it to a lamppost on the bridge. They know that Nils will be crossing the bridge that evening. As twilight falls, a storm is brewing and thunder rolls threateningly over the village. Nils does show up, but things do not work out quite the way that Sven and Toni have planned. Knightly adventures ensue, and Nils makes an unusual friend who becomes his protector. As a mummy, Kahlbutz the Knight lay cursed in the vault of Kampehl village church for 313 years and did not decompose. He finally gets a second chance when the boys of the village play their cheeky prank, and wakes up! In order to break the curse, he must do good deeds and atone for his crime. With the help of his new friends, the children of the village, Kahlbutz becomes a real knight, learns the meaning of true friendship, is released from the curse and finally gets to crumble into dust. Packed with excitement and humour, this novel expresses the ideas that it is good to help others, that you should not judge by appearances, and that everyone deserves a second chance. It teaches about knightly virtues and ancient language, and updates a true story. Two worlds collide, yet certain issues seem to be timeless. When it comes to questions of right and wrong, cooperation and respect, the children and the ancient knight put their hearts into finding universal solutions to these age-old problems.

A Real Van Gogh
How the Art World Struggles With Truth
by Henk Tromp
In 1928, after eleven years of extensive research and editing, Dr. Jacob Baart de la Faille finally finished the first catalogue raison of Vincent van Gogh's work. Soon after, however, de la Faille discovered that he had mistakenly listed dozens of forged works as genuine in the catalog. He quickly set out to set the record straight but was met with strong resistance from art dealers, collectors, critics, politicians, amongst others - all of whom had self-interested reasons to oppose his corrections. To this day, the international art world struggles to separate the real Van Goghs from the fake. A Real Van Gogh begins with the story of de la Faille and moves into the late decades of the twentieth century, outlining the numerous clashes over the authenticity of Van Gogh's works while simultaneously exposing the often bewildering ramifications for art critics and scholars when they bring unwelcome news.
