Horst Evers erzählt die schönsten Weihnachtsgeschichten: Er berichtet von traumatischen Erlebnissen mit dem Weihnachtsmann und testet Geschenkideen, von Ich-selbst-ganz-nackig-mit-Schleife bis zur Smartphone-Stirnhalterung. Was nach drei "alkoholfreien Glühwein mit Schuss" auf der Eisbahn passiert, ist so lehrreich wie das, was uns der Romantik-Autodidakt für unsere Liebsten ans Herz legt. Und es bleibt Zeit für etwas Völkerkunde: Warum haben Eskimos dreißig Wörter für Schnee, aber keins für Schadenfreude? So komisch war Weihnachten noch nie - oder, wie Horst Evers es formuliert: "Trotzdem fand ich's als Erfahrung natürlich super." Product details Format Paperback | 74 pages ...

Kaz Cooke invites you to an audience with the amazing Ada. She's a show girl and a story teller with a trunk full of stories and secrets. A funny, tender novel about an extraordinary woman who made the very best of everything life threw at her. 'It's not every day a handsome young man appears on your doorstep to ask if you're a respectable woman...' Miss Ada Delroy and her famous vaudeville troupe stormed five continents, enchanting royalty, miners and larrikins alike with her wit, illusions, and breathtaking dances. 'I had a diamond pendant near as big as an emu egg off the Maharajah of What's-His-Name. They named a racehorse after me, and a pigeon and a potato soup on an Orient steamship.' Under the costume made from 100 yards of billowing silk was a woman who couldn't help being both fabulous and disreputable. Down on her luck in a rented room in Melbourne, morphia cocktail in hand, Ada receives a visitor. Is she ready to share her secrets...

Am 30. Januar 1933, dem Tag der Machtergreifung, war Jürgen Boekh neun Jahre alt. Aus bürgerlichem und konservativem Hause stammend, wachsam und an vielem interesiert, faszinierte ihn in den Folgejahren die - wie er es damals empfand - dynamische Entwicklung des Nationalsozialismus mit seinen "jungen Männern". Dass er selbst nicht dazu stieß, war der festen Verwurzelung mit der Kirche zu verdanken. Je mehr die Nazis die Kirchen verächtlich machten und in den Hintergrund drängten, desto heftiger wuchs sein Widerstand gegen diese Bevormundung und Einmischung.

The end to Maxwell Beck's exile is in sight, but it could spell the beginning of even more trouble. Max's year-long absence from Deadwood reaches a crescendo when a pair of ne'er-do-wells first try to end Max's life, then impart some earth-shattering news: He must reach Deadwood before the Fourth of July celebration or his beloved Patience will die. It's not an impossible goal, but it will take everything he and his trusty steed, Huàn, have in them to get there in time. As they race for home, Max is intercepted at the outskirts of a small town by a posse. Is this brush with the law a chance encounter? Max's worst fears are confirmed when he is tossed in jail and threatened with hanging. Max's uncle, the sheriff of Deadwood, is headed to town with a posse to stop the hanging, but he'll most likely arrive too late. What happens during the ensuing battle will haunt Maxwell for the rest of his life, and push him even farther West to face greater dange...

A Guardian Book of the Year Maggie Nelson is one of the most electrifying writers at work in America today, among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation - Olivia Laing Bluets winds its way through depression, divinity, alcohol, and desire, visiting along the way with famous blue figures, including Joni Mitchell, Billie Holiday, Yves Klein, Leonard Cohen and Andy Warhol. While its narrator sets out to construct a sort of 'pillow book' about her lifelong obsession with the colour blue, she ends up facing down both the painful end of an affair and the grievous injury of a dear friend. The combination produces a raw, cerebral work devoted to the inextricability of pleasure and pain, and to the question of what role, if any, aesthetic beauty can play in times of great heartache or grief. Much like Roland Barthes's A Lover's Discourse, Bluets has passed between lovers in the ecstasy of new love, and been pressed into the hands of the heartbroken. Visceral,...
