A dazzling fantasy adventure for all ages, the first of a quartet.Abarat: an archipelago of amazement and wonder. A land made up of twenty-five islands, each one representing one hour of the day, each one a unique place of adventure and danger (and one mysterious place out of time), all ruled over by the evil Christopher Carrion, Lord of Midnight, and his monstrous grandmother, Mater Motley.Candy Quackenbush, a 16-year old from Chickentown, Minnesota, crosses by accident from our world into Abarat, and discovers she has been there many, many times before. She has friends there and she has enemies. As Candy makes her journey between all the islands of the archipelago, she will discover a plot by Christopher Carrion to block out the Sun, Moon and stars to achieve a condition of Permanent Midnight. In order to prevent this disaster, Candy must find the courage to confront the Lord of Midnight; and in doing so come to know who she really is: a revelation which will transform her own understanding of her place in the epic events.The first book of Abarat is a spellbinding adventure for all ages, combining the heartstopping tension of a thriller with the powerful charm of the most enduring fable. And beneath all, it possesses the quicksilver imagination of one of the finest writers at work today. The four books of Abarat have been rightly called Clive Barker’s Narnia, his Wonderland. A sumptuous treat that will capture the imaginations of adults and children alike.

Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States, is an American icon. To many, he is a symbol of values, sacrifice and determination. Modern notions of nationalism, liberty, and constitution all owe their debt to Lincoln, as does the unity of the American states. And yet, in his own day, Lincoln was also reviled by many as a traitor, tarnished by his associations with the wrong kind of race and the wrong end of society.Charting his ascent from humble origins to the leader of the United States during its hardest democratic and ethical conflict – the American Civil War – ‘Lincoln: History in an Hour’ is a succinct guide to the life of a great and controversial modernizer. Having educated himself and made good as a lawyer, he embarked on a journey that would see triumph in the abolition of slavery and then tragedy in the final drama of his own assassination. From his struggles as President to his family life and roles as husband, father and friend, this is the story of one of history’s greatest leaders.Love history?

Gibt es ein Recht auf selbstbestimmtes Sterben? »Die Antwort darauf ist eindeutig: Ja, es gibt dieses Recht!«, sagt der Autor Werner Lehr in seinem Text. Werner Lehr ist ehrenamtlicher Ansprechpartner und Kontaktstellenleiter f?r Norddeutschland bei der »Deutschen Gesellschaft f?r Humanes Sterben e.V.«. In diesen Funktionen h?lt er Vortr?ge ?ber Patientenverf?gungen und den aktuellen Stand der Sterbehilfediskussion in Deutschland. Auch die Autorin Sabine Marya setzt sich seit vielen Jahren f?r das Recht auf ein selbstbestimmtes Sterben ein. Ihre Erz?hlung »Adieu, Johannes« befasst sich mit dem pers?nlichen Konflikt, in dem immer wieder die Menschen stecken, die andere in ihrer letzten Lebensphase begleiten und um Hilfe beim Sterben gebeten werden: Johannes Seyer wird von dem lebensm?den 89 Jahre alten Herbert Baumbach gebeten, ihm dabei zu helfen, endlich sterben zu k?nnen. F?r ihre Erz?hlung »Der erste Fl?gelschlag – Abschied von einer Freundin – Realit?t und Utopie« wurde Sabine Marya 2011 der Arthur-Koestler-Preis in der Kategorie »Print« verliehen. In dieser Erz?hlung begleitet Leah ihre todkranke Freundin Lisa. Die Autorin beschreibt diese Sterbebegleitung in zwei unterschiedlichen Versionen: Einmal in der schmerzlichen Realit?t, so wie sie sich bei uns in Deutschland tagt?glich abspielt. Die Utopie ist eine bei uns leider noch nicht erf?llbare, jedoch w?nschenswerte Idealversion. Kurz vor ihrem selbstbestimmten Sterben schreibt Lisa in ihr Tagebuch: »Ich kann gehen, bevor ich gewaschen, gef?ttert und gewickelt werden muss. Ich kann gehen, solange ich mich noch als Mensch f?hle.«
