View Rights PortalHeinrich Archer, genannt Hades, das kriminelle Mastermind von Sydney, wird bedroht. Er ›bittet‹ Detective Frank Bennett, den Kollegen seiner Tochter Eden, um diskrete Hilfe, denn die Spuren könnten tief in das faszinierende, gewaltsatte Vorleben von Hades führen.Gleichzeitig hat Eden, Top-Detective bei der Mordkommission mit dem seltenen Talent, Verbrecher aufzuspüren und zur Strecke zu bringen, einen extrem schwierigen Auftrag: Drei Mädchen sind verschwunden, und die Spur führt sie zu einer verlassenen Farm, auf der sich ein Serienkiller rumtreibt. Sie begibt sich dort undercover in eine Kommune, ein rabenschwarzes, gefährliches Paralleluniversum mit Mördern und Vergewaltigern. Sie muss all ihre erstaunlichen Fähigkeiten einsetzen, um zu überleben. Zudem ist ihre Beziehung zu ihrem Partner Bennett kompliziert, beide sind traumatisiert, und dass Bennett gerade auf Alkohol und Drogen ist, macht die Sache nicht einfacher. Aber die beiden sind auf Gedeih und Verderb aufeinander angewiesen. Eden ist ein düsterer, vielschichtiger Roman voller Geheimnisse. Wild, hart und ganz und gar ungewöhnlich.
Israel ist ein Staat, der aus einer Idee heraus geboren wurde. Er sollte Antwort sein auf Verfolgung und Minderheitendasein der Juden in aller Welt. Was sich Theodor Herzl erträumt hatte, setzte David Ben-Gurion am 14. Mai 1948 in die Wirklichkeit um. Daß aus dem Traum von einem unabhängigen jüdischen Staat Realität wurde, war alles andere als selbstverständlich. Der diesjährige Almanach widmet sich 60 Jahre nach der Staatsgründung der heutigen israelischen Wirklichkeit – das, was für die Israelis längst ganz selbstverständlich zu ihrem Alltag gehört, spezifisch Israelisches wird in den Blick genommen. Dazu zählen das Verhältnis zur Diaspora, der Postzionismus und die Siedlerbewegung ebenso wie die Indien-Rucksackreisen junger Frauen und Männer nach Ende ihres Wehrdienstes, die informelle Art, sich zu kleiden, der wie ein moderner Tempel verehrte internationale Ben-Gurion-Flughafen, säkulare Schabbat-Rituale in Tel Aviv oder der völlige Stillstand des ganzen Landes an Jom Kippur.
Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. The first version, published in 1667, consisted of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout and a note on the versification. The poem concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men".

There is a prison operating in present-day Ukraine, where horrific torture techniques are being utilized. This prison is, in reality, a concentration camp, beyond whose fencing no laws reach. Life there is lived in humiliation, fear, and uncertainty. Wounds and burn marks cover bodies that are filled with pain from broken bones and, often too, broken wills. The principal tasks here are surviving after the desire to live has forsaken you and nothing in the world depends on you any longer, preserving your sanity as you teeter on the brink of madness, and remaining a human being in conditions so inhuman that faith, forgiveness, hate, and even a torturer locking eyes with his victim become laden with manifold meanings. The journalist Stanislav Aseyev, imprisoned in this torture camp on trumped-up charges of “espionage,” wrote this frank, emotional, and probing memoir in an attempt to both survive and recover from the hell he was cast into. He offers more questions than answers in this book, as testament to the fact that the lives of those released from the prison at 3 Paradise Street will forever remain divided into “pre-” and “post-.”
