Der junge Arzt Dr. Roy Basch verbringt sein erstes Praxisjahr im "House of God". Voller Enthusiasmus und Erwartungen, beseelt von dem Wunsch, zu helfen und zu heilen, muss er im Alltag bald erkennen, dass die Medizin ein dreckiges Geschäft ist. Verstört und desillusioniert versuchen er und seine jungen Kollegen, sich einen letzten Rest an Nächstenliebe zu bewahren. Drastisch und makaber stellt Shem einen bis heute vollkommen normalen Krankenhausalltag dar, in dem ein einzelner Mensch wenig, Profit dagegen alles zählt.

Am kürzeren Ende der Sonnenallee, gleich neben der Berliner Mauer, wohnt Micha Kuppisch. Wenn er aus der Haustür tritt, hört er die Rufe westdeutscher Schulklassen vom Aussichtspodest: "Guck mal, 'n echter Zoni!" Micha aber hat eine andere Sorge: Miriam. Sie ist das schönste Mädchen weit und breit, doch leider schon vergeben. Miriam, Micha und seine Freunde lieben und lachen, tricksen und träumen. Sie hören Jimi Hendrix, angeln Liebesbriefe aus dem Todesstreifen und erschaffen sich erfindungsreich ihre eigene Welt. Und erst später wird ihnen klar, dass sie unheimlich komisch waren.

Raupen, die sich ihr eigenes Grab schaufeln, Haie, die künstlich beatmet werden, Enten, die noch im Schlaf nach Fressfeinden Ausschau halten, Schafe, die ihre Wolle von selbst abwerfen. Jede von Eva Menasses Erzählungen geht von einer kuriosen Tiermeldung aus und widmet sich doch ganz der Gattung Mensch. Die Autorin studiert ihre Objekte mit liebevoll-unerbittlichem Forscherinnenblick und erzählt mit einer wunderbaren Mischung aus pointiertem Witz und melancholischem Ernst.

Story1
C’est un endroit à l’abri du temps. Ce minuscule hameau, qu’on appelle Les Montées, est un pays à lui seul pour les jumelles Ambre et Aelis, et la vieille Rose. Ici, l’existence n’a jamais été douce. Les familles travaillent une terre avare qui appartient à d’autres, endurent en serrant les dents l’injustice. Mais c’est ainsi depuis toujours. Jusqu’au jour où surgit Madelaine. Une fillette affamée et sauvage, sortie des forêts. Adoptée par Les Montées, Madelaine les ravit, passionnée, courageuse, si vivante. Pourtant, il reste dans ses yeux cette petite flamme pas tout à fait droite.

Albanien 1989: der letzte stalinistische Außenposten in Europa, ein isoliertes Land. Es herrschen Mangelwirtschaft, Geheimpolizei und das Proletariat. Für die zehnjährige Lea Ypi ist dieses Land ihr Zuhause – ein Ort der Geborgenheit, der Hoffnung und der Freiheit. Alles ändert sich, als in Tirana Enver Hoxhas Statue vom Sockel stürzt. Jetzt können die Menschen wählen, wen sie wollen. Aber die neue Zeit zeigt bald ihr unfreundliches Gesicht, und die Aussicht auf eine bessere Zukunft löst sich auf in Arbeitslosigkeit und Massenflucht.

Primii mincinosi ai lumii sunt povestitorii. Dar cele aproape patru sute de istorioare adunate in acest volum de Jean-Claude Carriere nu sunt nici mituri, nici parabole religioase si cu atat mai putin epopei. Vii, alerte, uneori deconcertante sau fals naive, ele recompun spiritul umanitatii in cele mai diverse ipostaze ale sale, venind fie din spatiul buddhist sau islamic, fie din cel chinez, african, evreiesc, indian sau amerindian. Dincolo de diferentele care apar de la o traditie la alta, regasesti pretutindeni problema dreptatii si a mortii, dificultatea traiului in comun si tema raportului maestru-discipol.

He's big. He's bold. He's brash. And as the new governor of Minnesota, Jimmy (Big Boy) Valente is the most compelling figure to appear on the state - and national - political landscape in decades.
The new King of American Politics (and former UWA World Champion) tells all to best-selling author, public radio show host, and fellow Minnesotan Garrison Keillor. This is satire at its best, delivered as only Keillor can.

Um retrato (único e cativante) de personagens sobre os quais prestamos pouca atenção. Com este seu primeiro romance, José Falero já se apresenta como um dos nomes mais relevantes da nova literatura brasileira. Ao criar um narrador culto e perspicaz — que contrasta com o dialeto a um só tempo urbano e filosófico da periferia —, o autor mostra seu talento incomum, fazendo uma verdadeira arqueologia da pobreza. Falero nos leva direto ao supermercado Fênix, na região central de Porto Alegre.
