Adam Travels: Thirty Years Later
by Simon Garber
Adam Travels: Thirty Years Later by Simon Garber Traveling is one of the great joys in life, as Russian American Adam Gardov knows well. For thirty years, this brilliant chef, his wife, and his daughter have explored the wonders of Europe and Israel, finding joy, new friends, and adventure wherever their wanderlust takes them. Adam Travels: Thirty Years Later is a collection of short stories penned by Shimon Garber—a fictional travelogue of the Gardov family’s journeys. Often lighthearted, sometimes sad, and always interesting, these narratives celebrate the similarities—and differences—among nations, cultures, and cuisines. From a strange encounter with Russian gangsters while whale watching off the Spanish coast to a peaceful float in the tranquil Dead Sea, these stories bring each location to life. This is not a travel guide, however—instead, author Shimon Garber uses the Gardov family and their adventures to celebrate travel and exploration. Sometimes travel lets you stand alone upon a mountaintop. Sometimes you find yourself trying to sleep in a room with a world-class snorer. But as these stories show, the benefits always outweigh the setbacks. So pack your bags, check your passport, settle into your comfiest chair, and set off with the Gardovs to explore our amazing world.

Devouring Himself, Starting with His Feet
by Abdallah Al-Zioud
Despite its small size, it managed to take its place among the best modern literature books in recent years. From the title and cover, going through its amazing preface and eloquent language, and to the element of surprise and unexpected ending. Abdallah Al-Zioud was able to make the reading journey of this novel a meaningful journey despite its shortness; a journey introduces readers to new terms that manipulate their imaginations and puts them in the eye of the event through a visual language that conveys the reader from paper to the visual world of the novel. It teaches them some of writing tricks and simplifies what seems complicated at the beginning so that the reader believes in its ordinary before discovering that he has fallen victim to fraud.I can say that the most beautiful thing about this novel is that it was not written in a style and did not follow a context. it rebelled against the ordinary, uniquified in style, and combined simplicity and complexity in a way predicting an amazing ability and counted in its writer favor.

Die schönsten Geschichten vom Jesuskind zum Vorlesen

Welche Geschenke brachten die Tiere dem Neugeborenen? Worüber unterhielten sich Ochs und Esel? Und wie zähmte das Jesuskind einen wilden Wolf und einen Räuber? Davon und von vielem anderen mehr erzählen die hier versammelten schönen Weihnachtsgeschichten: zum Vorlesen – für Groß und Klein.

Frauen auf dem Land
Eigenständige Landwirtinnen, stolze Sennerinnen, freiheitssuchende Sommerfrischler und viele andere von damals bis heute
by Annegret Braun
Frauen auf dem Land waren nicht nur für den Haushalt verantwortlich, sie arbeiteten ebenso auf dem Feld und im Stall wie die Männer. Es war ein hartes Leben, das nur wenig Raum für eigene Entfaltung bot. Doch es taten sich immer wieder auch Perspektiven auf, die Frauen für sich nutzten: Sie ließen sich zu Schneiderinnen, Lehrerinnen oder sogar Landärztinnen ausbilden, entwickelten Kunstfertigkeit in Handarbeit und Handwerk oder begannen zu schreiben. Die Bäuerinnen von heute sind längst in der modernen Welt angekommen und in vielen Bereichen erfolgreich tätig. Annegret Braun lässt die Geschichte dieser Frauen aufleben und führt uns durch 150 Jahre Landleben, von damals bis heute.
