Wilhelm Tramitzke, im Februar 1926 in Wischniovka, Bessarabien, heute Moldaurepublik, geboren, ist Nachfahre deutscher Kolonisten die in den Jahren 1814 bis 1842 auswanderten. Nach der Umsiedlung 1940, begann f?r den damals vierzehnj?hrigen Jungen das Uniformtragen, was ihn Zeit seines Lebens nicht mehr loslie?. – Die Figur Kommissar Renard (Fuchs) spielt die Hauptrolle in der Geschichte einer verwirrenden Jagd nach einem Phantom. Armb?nder, Ohrringe, Halsketten und Brillantringe von sehr hohem Wert verschwinden auf geheimnisvolle Weise. Der Kommissar findet weder Einbruchsspuren noch Fingerabdr?cke und jagt einem Phantom nach. Die Diebst?hle finden in S?dfrankreich statt. Gemeinsam mit einer Kollegin verfolgt der Kommissar die Spuren, welche ihn bis nach Deutschland f?hrten. Mit Hilfe der deutschen Justiz- und Polizeibeh?rden kommen die beiden Kommissare so »peu ? peu« der Sache n?her. Erst nach langwierigen Recherchen und mit spitzfindigen und listigem Vorgehen erreichten sie zun?chst einen Teilerfolg.

A new narrative history of the Viking Age, interwoven with exploration of the physical remains and landscapes that the Vikings fashioned and walked: their rune-stones and ship burials, settlements and battlefields.To many, the word ‘Viking’ brings to mind red scenes of rape and pillage, of marauders from beyond the sea rampaging around the British coastline in the last gloomy centuries before the Norman Conquest. It is true that Britain in the Viking Age was a turbulent, violent place. The kings and warlords who have impressed their memories on the period revel in names that fire the blood and stir the imagination: Svein Forkbeard and Edmund Ironside, Ivar the Boneless and Alfred the Great, Erik Bloodaxe and Edgar the Pacifier amongst many others. Evidence for their brutality, their dominance, their avarice and their pride is still unearthed from British soil with stunning regularity.But this is not the whole story.In Viking Britain, Thomas Williams has drawn on his experience as project curator of the British Museum exhibition of Vikings: Life and Legend to show how the people we call Vikings came not just to raid and plunder, but to settle, to colonize and to rule. The impact on these islands was profound and enduring, shaping British social, cultural and political development for hundreds of years. Indeed, in language, literature, place-names and folklore, the presence of Scandinavian settlers can still be felt, and their memory – filtered and refashioned through the writings of people like J.R.R. Tolkien, William Morris and G.K.Chesterton – has transformed the western imagination.This remarkable book makes use of new academic research and first-hand experience, drawing deeply from the relics and landscapes that the Vikings and their contemporaries fashioned and walked: their runestones and ship burials, settlements and battlefields, poems and chronicles. The book offers a vital evocation of a forgotten world, its echoes in later history and its implications for the present.

The shocking first true account from one of the young girls who lived through and survived the Rotherham sex abuse scandal.In the summer of 2014, the Rotherham sex abuse scandal sent shockwaves through the nation. A report revealed that, since the 1990s, up to 1,400 young girls in the town had been regularly abused by sex gangs, predominantly comprised of Pakistani men. As the media descended on the small Yorkshire town, Sarah Wilson watched with horror and relief as her voice was finally heard after years of abuse.Sarah was just eleven years old when she was befriended by a group of older men. Bullied at school, naive and vulnerable, the gifts and attention they lavished on her were what she craved, she just wanted to belong. But soon she was hooked on alcohol and drugs, and then they owned her. She was just twelve years old when she was bundled into a car by a man in his thirties and forced to have sex with him. Soon, the gang were driving her to places where she was raped by scores of men.Falling through the system, from social services to school, no-one was able to help her. She ‘escaped’ when she became too old for the men at nearly sixteen.Finally a victim of the Rotherham scandal tells her story in the hope that other young girls will not fall prey to the same evil that she endured.

If America is a lunatic asylum, then California is the Violent Ward.Mickey Murphy is a criminal lawyer with an office in LA’s downtown low-rent district, an ex-wife who bleeds him for money, clients who would plead the Fifth Amendment if they could count that high, and an unrequited passion for his wealthiest client’s wife. To make matters worse, Mickey finds himself embroiled against his wishes in an elaborate and clever scam that’s going askew, and being interrogated by the LAPD about a brutal murder.With an observant eye and ear for the California ‘scene’, Deighton once again uses his brilliant storytelling skills to propel an exciting and suspenseful narrative at breakneck speed to a dramatic climax in a riot-torn city.This reissue includes a foreword from the cover designer, Oscar-winning filmmaker Arnold Schwartzman, and an introduction by Len Deighton, which offers a fascinating insight into the writing of the story.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon wurde 1834 in Essex (England) geboren. 1850 kommt er zum Glauben und arbeitet bereits 1851 als Gemeindepastor in Waterbeach. 1854 bekommt er den Ruf in eine Londoner Gemeinde, wo er bis zu seinem Tod 1892 predigt. Er predigt gewaltig und mit Vollmacht. Seine Predigten ?ben einen gro?en Einfluss auf das geistliche Leben Londons aus und ziehen Leute aus allen gesellschaftlichen Schichten an. Seit 1855 werden sie w?chentlich in gro?en Auflagen ?ber die ganze Welt verbreitet.
Abendmahlspredigten haben einen besonderen Glanz. Zu diesen Anl?ssen versuchen Prediger als Botschafter Gottes, das Heiligste vom Heiligen wiederzugeben, um dann im Allerheiligsten dem Herrn zu begegnen. C. H. Spurgeon w?hlte zum Abendmahl sehr oft Texte aus dem Hohelied Salomos. Das mag manchem ?berraschend erscheinen.
Von den ?ber 3500 ver?ffentlichten Predigten sind sie die tiefgr?ndigsten Andachten, die der F?rst unter den Predigern gehalten hat. Sie sind das Kostbarste von all dem kostbaren, weil sie den verlangenden Christen direkt in die herrliche Gegenwart des ewigen Gottes und seines Sohnes Jesus Christus bringen.

‘A fine, intellectually sparkling and always engaging little book – a welcome addition to any Wagner library’Hans Vaget, Opera QuarterlyWhilst no one would dispute Wagner’s ranking among the most significant composers in the history of Western music, his works have been more fiercely attacked than those of any other composer. His supposed personal defects have provoked intense hostility which has translated into a mistrust and abhorrence of his music. Tanner’s fascination for the relationship between music, text and plot generates and illuminating discussion of the operas, in which he persuades us to see many of Wagner’s best-know works afresh. His passionate and unconventional analyses are accessible to all lovers of music, be they listeners or performers.Note that it has not been possible to include the same picture content that appeared in the original print version.

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Walk Through Walls written and read by Marina Abramovic.  This memoir spans Marina Abramovics five decade career, and tells a life story that is almost as exhilarating and extraordinary as her groundbreaking performance art. Taking us from her early life in communist ex-Yugoslavia, to her time as an a young art student in Belgrade in the 1970s, where she first made her mark with a series of pieces that used the body as a canvas, the book also describes her relationship with the West German performance artist named Ulay who was her lover and sole collaborator for 12 years.   Abramovic has collaborated with stars from Lady Gaga to Jay-Z, James Franco and Willem Dafoe. Best known for her recent pieces The Artist is Present and 512 Hours, this book is a fascinating insight into the life of one of the most important artists working today, and the woman who has been described as the grandmother of performance art.

The second volume of the autobiography of Doris Lessing, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.‘Walking in the Shade’ begins in 1949, as Doris Lessing arrives in London with nothing but her young son and the manuscript of her first novel. With humour and clear-sightedness, she records her battles of the next decade: her involvement with communism, her love affairs, her struggle with poverty, the difficulties she faced as a young single mother.But as well there is the success of that first novel, ‘The Grass Is Singing’, and meetings with personalities and opinion-makers – Kenneth Tynan, John Osborne, Bertrand Russell and others.Describing, too, the genesis of ‘The Golden Notebook’, this book sees Lessing emerge as one of the most exciting, and groundbreaking, novelists of the post-war generation, and one of the twentieth century’s great writers.

Der Autor f?hrt zun?chst aus, dass theologisches Systemdenken eine Falle darstellt. Dann beschreibt er Arminianismus und Calvinismus jeweils in ihrer Entstehung, in ihren Hauptaussagen und in ihren Schw?chen. Schlie?lich entfaltet Wilfried Plock einen dritten Weg – sozusagen ?ber die Systeme hinaus. An vielen Beispielen zeigt er, welche Auswirkungen es haben kann, wenn Gemeinden oder Werke einseitig von Systemdenken durchdrungen sind und welche Gefahren damit verbunden sein k?nnen. Dieses Buch m?chte verbinden. Darum schlie?t es mit konkreten Ratschl?gen, wie Christen mit unterschiedlichen theologischen Ansichten doch fruchtbar zusammenarbeiten k?nnen.

Wilhelm Tramitzke, geboren im Februar 1926 in Wischniovka, Bessarabien, ein Landstrich zwischen den Fl?ssen Djestr und Pruth, heute Moldaurepublik, ist Nachfahre deutscher Kolonisten in Bessarabien, welche in den Jahren 1814 bis 1842 Mutterkolonien errichteten. Bis zur Umsiedlung 1940 (Heim ins Reich) bestanden durch ihre Nachfahren bereits 150 Tochterkolonien mit deutschen Namen. Die Umsiedlung nahm ihnen ihre Heimat, und nach der Ansiedlung in Polen verloren sie 1945 zu zweiten Mal ihre Heimat. – In seiner Geschichte beschreibt er die gro?e Liebe zwischen zwei Menschen, welche schon im Sandkasten unzertrennlich waren. Die Kinder, Sohn eines Metzgermeisters und Tochter eines Apothekers kamen, trotz ihrer gro?en Liebe, durch den Standesd?nkel des Apothekers nicht zusammen, weil er der Meinung war, dass es unter seiner W?rde w?re, einen Metzger in der Familie zu haben. Ihm schwebte ein Akademiker vor. Durch Intrigen, Verleumdungen und durch sein Verbot einer Zusammenkunft der beiden, brachte es der Apotheker fertig, dass ein Wiedersehen so gut wie unm?glich war. Dass seine Tochter bereits vollj?hrig und eine ausgebildete Apothekerin war, scherte den Apotheker nicht. Auch der Metzgersohn hatte bereits seinen Metzgermeister gemacht, und stand beruflich voll im Trend, doch auch das scherte den Apotheker nicht. Das veranlasste den Metzgermeister, nach Argentinien auszuwandern, in der Hoffnung, dass seine gro?e Liebe ihm nachfolge. Ihre gegenseitige Sehnsucht war unbeschreiblich, doch alles kam anders.

A distillation of our times: eleven short stories from this brilliant contemporary writer.‘Watching Me, Watching You’ was Fay Weldon’s first collection of short stories. They vary widely in theme, while remaining avowedly feminist, sometimes bitter, sometimes angry, yet always handled with wit, irony and courage. A sense of sisterhood is one of the most important qualities a woman may possess and its loss, as in one particular story, ‘Alopecia’, can bring tragedy. On the other hand, in ‘Threnody’, a women’s commune can be gently mocked, and the failings of the leading characters are human rather than masculine.Fay Weldon’s observation is always wonderfully acute and ‘Watching Me, Watching You’ is dominated throughout by her humour and intensity of purpose, giving to these stories a marvellous strength and unity.

‘My Decade in the Premier League’ is Wayne’s first hand account of his 10 years playing at the highest level in English football – and for the biggest club in the world. This is his inside story of life on the pitch for Manchester Utd; the League titles, FA Cups, League Cups and Champions League adventures. A must for any Utd fan. Wayne Rooney is widely regarded as one of the leading football players of his generation. A talisman for Manchester United, since his transfer to them in 2004, Rooney is their star player and the first name on the team sheet. In the 10 years since he made his debut as a 16 year old for Everton, he has acquired trophy after trophy, accolade after accolade and headline after headline. ‘My Decade in the Premier League’ is the inside account of life as a Premier League footballer from the man every one wants to hear from. This is his story, in his words. From gracing the ground at Goodison as an excitable 16 year old to lifting the Champions League trophy with Manchester United. From the emotional high of scoring the winner against Manchester City with that overhead bicycle kick to the crushing low of the thrashing City handed out at Old Trafford in the 2011-12 season. This is a book for the fan who would kill to get just 30 seconds on the pitch at The Theatre of Dreams – to run on the famous turf and score in front of the Stretford End. ‘My Decade in the Premier League’ gives a real insight in to what goes in to being part of the biggest club in the world; the training pitch, the dressing room, the manager, the coaches and, most importantly, the buzz of crossing that white line and hearing the 76,000 strong crowd chant your name. In intricate, emotional detail Wayne talks about every season he has spent in the Premier League and how it feels to be one the most celebrated footballers on the planet.

We (Russian: Мы, romanized: My) is a dystopian novel by Russian writer Yevgeny Zamyatin, written 1920–1921. The novel was first published as an English translation by Gregory Zilboorg in 1924 by E. P. Dutton in New York. The novel describes a world of harmony and conformity within a united totalitarian state. It is believed that the novel had a huge influence on the works of Orwell and Huxley, as well as on the emergence of the genre of dystopia. A few hundred years after the One State's conquest of the entire world, the spaceship Integral is being built in order to invade and conquer extraterrestrial planets. Meanwhile, the project's chief engineer, D-503, begins a journal that he intends to be carried upon the completed spaceship. Like all other citizens of One State, D-503 lives in a glass apartment building and is carefully watched by the secret police, or Bureau of Guardians. D-503's lover, O-90, has been assigned by One State to visit him on certain nights. She is considered too short to bear children and is deeply grieved by her state in life. O-90's other lover and D-503's best friend is R-13, a State poet who reads his verse at public executions…

Imagine a sisterhood – across all creeds and cultures. An unspoken agreement that we, as women, will support and encourage one another. That we will remember we don't know what struggles each of us may be facing elsewhere in our lives and so we will assume that each of us is doing our best…So begins WE: an inspiring, empowering and provocative manifesto for change. Change which we can all effect, one woman at a time. Change which provides a crucial and timely antidote to the 'have-it-all' Superwoman culture and instead focusses on what will make each and every one of us happier and more free. Change which provides an answer to the nagging sense of 'is that it?' that almost all of us can succumb to when we wake in the dead of night.Written by actress Gillian Anderson and journalist Jennifer Nadel – two friends who for the last decade have stumbled along together, learning, failing, crying, laughing and trying again – WE is a not a theoretical treatise but instead a rallying cry to create a life that has greater meaning and purpose. Combining tools which are practical, psychological and spiritual, it is both a process and a vision for a more fulfilling way of living. And a truly inspiring vision of a happier, more emotionally rewarding future we can all create together…
