        Rhythm of Heartbreak. Verdammte Liebe

        by Schulz, Heike

        ***Wer bist du, wenn jeder deine Songs kennt, aber niemand weiß, wer hinter der Maske steckt?*** Alexander ist ein gefeierter Star und wird mit etwas Glück in wenigen Wochen mindestens einen Echo abräumen. Bekannt unter dem Künstlernamen Quidamned ist er Deutschlands erfolgreichster Rapper. Regelmäßig bricht er alle Rekorde - und das obwohl niemand weiß, wer sich hinter der Pestmaske verbirgt, die er bei all seinen Auftritten trägt. Nicht mal die vielen unverbindlichen Affären, die ständig in seinem Bett landen, kennen sein Gesicht. Aber als ein heftiger Skandal sein Image ins Wanken bringt, ist die Jagd auf seine Identität eröffnet. Ihm bleibt keine andere Wahl, als abzutauchen. Reporter, Fans … das ganze Land sucht den Mann hinter der Maske, der in ein kleines Eifeldorf flüchtet, wo die "Goldene Aussicht" zu seinem Versteck wird. Doch der Versuch, sich dort völlig abzuschotten, scheitert, als er auf die Tochter der Pensionsbesitzer trifft. Es passiert, was er nie für möglich gehalten hätte: Der sonst so unnahbare Rapper hat nur noch Augen für Eine. Maxime. Aber Maxime hat keine Ahnung, wer er wirklich ist. Wie auch, wenn er es selbst nicht weiß? Während Maximes Vertrauen in ihn zunehmend auf die Probe gestellt wird, muss Alexander sich entscheiden: Will er weitermachen wie bisher oder für sein wahres Ich und seine Liebe kämpfen? #Lovesong, #Herzschmerz, #dieganzgroßeLiebe, #wechselndePerspektiven, #Schmökeralarm, #Lesefieber, #MusicLove

        Boo! When My Sister Died

        by Richa Jha and Gautam Benegal

        When Noorie’s sister Zoya dies, everything in Noorie’s world becomes silent. She knows her sister has gone forever. But what’s with Mummy’s silly lies that Zoya will always be around, by their side?  And what is she to do about Zoya’s best friend Dhara, who just won’t leave Noorie alone? Boo! When My Sister Died is a story about finding strength in love and loss. Gautam Benegal blends a playful watercolour and wash-style with a somber digital crosshatch to bring together warmth in the memories of the sisters’ togetherness and the intensity of Noorie’s grief.  Richa Jha’s spare and simple text keeps the story poignant, believable, and full of hope.

        Mourning becomes...

        Post/memory and commemoration of the concentration camps of the South African War 1899–1902

        by Elizabeth Stanley, Bertrand Taithe, Roger Cooter, Carolyn Steedman

        This fascinating work challenges many of the accepted facts about the concentration camps run by the British during the South African War. The author demonstrates that much of what we have traditionally understood about these camps originates the testimony which was solicited, selected and published by key women activists within Boer proto-nationalist circles. Using detailed archival evidence, she shows that much of the history of the camps results from a deliberate imposition of 'post/memory' - a process by which what was 'remembered' was shaped and reshaped to support the development of a racialised nationalist framework. Many of the camps' occupants died from successive epidemics of measles, typhoid, enteritis and pneumonia rather than deliberate ill-treatment, yet the book shows how mourning for those who died was overridden by state commemorative activities concerned with promoting pan-Boer nationalist aspirations. The innovative and groundbreaking approach of the author invites the reader to step into and explore with her the commemorative sites passed by nationalist land acts, which still powerfully mark the South African landscape. ;

        Navegante

        by Andrés López Martínez

        What happens when a mother dies? Death affects us in many ways, because of the absence and the emptiness it provokes. Sometimes the sadness is such that it makes us wonder through life aimlessly. Then we settle in nostalgia.

        New critical perspectives

        by Anne Fogarty, Marisol Morales-Ladrón

        The Irish writer, Deirdre Madden, has written key novels about the Northern Irish Troubles and about contemporary Ireland. In these works, she weighs up the aftermath of violence and the impact of the shift to a more open but materialist society in the country overall. Memory, trauma, and the abiding but elusive links between the past and the present are central concerns of her fiction. This pioneering set of essays by leading experts in Irish Studies explores the many dimensions of her novels from a wide variety of perspectives. Madden's skill at interweaving novels of ideas with artist novels that draw out the complex inner predicaments of her characters is highlighted. States of dislocation are concentrated on in her texts, but also the quest for a home in the world and a lasting set of values that allows for personal integrity and authenticity. These multifaceted explorations bear out the compelling and enduring aspects of Madden's highly regarded novels.
