Ein Roadtrip voller Komik, Dramatik und unvorhersehbarer Abzweigungen von Deutschlands Bestsellerautor Nr. 1 Sebastian Fitzek - mit zwei skurrilen, ans Herz gehenden Hauptfiguren, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten. Livius Reimer macht sich auf den Weg von München nach Berlin, um seine Ehe zu retten. Als sein Flug gestrichen wird, muss er sich den einzig noch verfügbaren Mietwagen mit einer jungen Frau teilen, um die er sonst einen großen Bogen gemacht hätte. Zu schräg, zu laut, zu ungewöhnlich - mit ihrer unkonventionellen Sicht auf die Welt überfordert Lea von Armin Livius von der ersten Sekunde an.

Story4
Román "Alchymista" - největší brazilský bestseller všech dob - byl dosud přeložen do 34 jazyků a prodalo se ho na 10 milionů výtisků. Takřka pohádkové vyprávění o cestě španělského pastýře za zakopaným pokladem, vycházející z příběhu o splněném snu ze sbírky Tisíc a jedna noc, je zároveň výzvou k naplnění vlastního osudu i poznáním posvátnosti světa, v němž žijeme. Na cestě za oním dvojím pokladem, plné zkoušek a důležitých setkání, je třeba dbát všech znamení a s neustálou trpělivostí a odvahou (jako alchymista sledující proměnu obyčejného kovu ve zlato) přetvořit samu svou osobnost.

Story2
Prinkipo Island, Turkey, 2017. In the glow of a late summer morning, family gather for the 100th birthday of the famous artist Sirin Saka. It ought to be a time of fond reminiscence, looking back on a long and fruitful artistic career, on memories spanning almost a century, but also of an era when imperial forces fought over her homeland. But the deep past is something Sirin has spent a lifetime trying to conceal. Her grandchildren, Nur and Fikret, and great grandchild do not know what Sirin is hiding, though they are intimately aware of the secret's psychological consequences.

Un padre ha piantato due alberi davanti alla sua casa, uno per ogni figlio. Il primo, un larice, è Luigi, duro e fragile, che in trentasette anni non se n'è mai andato dalla valle. Lui e Betta si sono innamorati facendo il bagno nelle pozze del fiume, tra le betulle bianche: ora non succede piú cosí di frequente, ma aspettano una bambina e nell'aria si sente il profumo di un nuovo inizio. Lui ha appena accettato un lavoro da forestale, lei viene dalla città e legge Karen Blixen. L'altro albero è un abete: Alfredo è il figlio minore, ombroso e resistente al gelo, irrequieto e attaccabrighe.

Der brutale Fall ins Nichts. An einem nebligen Abend startet ein Privatjet zu einem Flug nach New York. Wenige Minuten später stürzt er in den Atlantik. Alle Passagiere sterben - nur der Maler Scott Burroughs und der vierjährige JJ überleben inmitten der brennenden Trümmer. Und Scott gelingt das Unmögliche: Er schafft es, den Jungen an das weit entfernte Ufer zu retten. Doch keiner von beiden kann sich an die Geschehnisse vor dem Absturz erinnern. Während die Suchtrupps fieberhaft nach den Leichen und der Blackbox fahnden, drängen sich neue Ereignisse in den Vordergrund.

"Mi se întâmplă rar. Din ce în ce mai rar. De regulă, ceea ce văd, ceea ce aud, ceea ce trăiesc mă indispune până la depresie. Şi totuşi, fără motiv aparent, fără iluzii şi fără speranţe utopice, mă trezesc, uneori, cuprins de o nerezonabilă încredere în soarta lumii. S-ar spune, pe scurt, că lumea stă într-o tolerabilă cumpănă. Relele ei nu prevalează semnificativ asupra părţilor ei bune."
