December 1998Die Wiener Küche
Mit den 100 besten Altwiener Rezepten und zahlreichen Abbildungen
by Christoph Wagner
Wissen Sie, was man unter Affenfett versteht? Kennen Sie einen Bröselgeier? Woran denken Sie, wenn man Ihnen Beinvogelschmalz anbietet? »Die Wiener Küche« beantwortet diese und viele andere Fragen zum Wiener Küchenwortschatz. Das Wiener Küchendeutsch ist vom Hochdeutschen meilenweit entfernt und wird mitunter schon in Salzburg oder München kaum noch verstanden. Es präsentiert sich halt als sprachlicher Eintopf der ehemaligen Kronländer der Donaumonarchie. Tschechische, ungarische, italienische, kroatische, bosnische oder jüdische Lehnwörter sind in die Wiener Küche ebenso eingeflossen wie Ausdrücke des Wiener Dialekts. Die Leserinnen und Leser werden im vorliegenden Band sehr wohl Stichwörter wie »Tiroler Knödel«, »Salzburger Nockerln« oder »Kärntner Kasnudeln« finden, doch auch das ungarische »Gulyás« oder die böhmischen »Powidltatschkerln«. Garniert mit den hundert besten Altwiener Rezepten – etwa »Zwiebelrostbraten«, »Kaiserschmarrn« und »Zwetschgenröster« –, darf das vorliegende Lexikon in keiner Kuchlkredenz fehlen.

Solothurn tanzt mit dem Teufel
Solothurn dances with the devil
by Christof Gasser
On "Dirty Thursday", the start of the Solothurn carnival, the corpse of a young woman is found at the Krummtower. A tattoo with the number 666 on the corpse leads Captain Dominik Dornach to a series of past murders in the Red Light District, where victims had the same tattoo. While Dornach investigates these first clues, his daughter, who works in Iraq for the UN, is targeted by terrorists. Everything that is important to Dornach seems to be threatened. Christof Gasser belongs to a new generation of Swiss crime authors who have a completely new self-image and literary self-confidence. He advanced especially with his Solothurn crime novel series within a few years to become one of the most popular writers in Switzerland. The investigating team around cantonal policeman Dominik Dornach and Public Prosecutor Angela Casagrande is the centrepiece of his success. "Solothurn tanzt mit dem Teufel“ ("Solothurn Dances with the Devil") is the fourth part of this bestseller series and completes the series of four books around the illustrious duo Dornach/Casagrande. The story takes place in the not always peaceful cantonal capital of Solothurn, and also in Vienna, Paris and even in the Iraqi provincial city of Samarra and Amman in Jordan. Gasser shows in an original way how fatal a global network of international politics, organised crime and terrorism can be for the life of his protagonists. In his usual fast-paced and dense style, he tells an extremely impressive and current story, which shows how complex and relevant crime literature can be.

FictionThe Wizard of Cobenzl
by Bettina Balàka
It is the year 1844, and Carl Ludwig Friedrich, Baron of Reichenbach, is possessed by an insatiable desire for knowledge. Where others have fallen under the spell of the moon, he is unrelenting in his search for confirmation of his hypothesis: namely, the existence of ‘od’. The one all-pervading substance that slumbers inside people and nature until it pushes its way to the surface. Baron Reichenbach is a first-class upstart, climbing the ladder that promises fame and fortune. He worked hard to achieve his nobleman’s title, castle and renown. But, plagued by setbacks, he is used to the scaffolding of his existence constantly threatening to collapse. From Stuttgart to Moravia via Blansko, fate has brought him and his two daughters, Hermione and Ottone, to Vienna, to Cobenzl Castle. Here, Baron Reichenbach embarks on his quest for ‘od’, supported by Hermione who, like her father, has dedicated herself to research. His experiments with ‘sensitives’ are designed to prove what Baron Reichenbach already knows to be true. But in Cobenzl Castle, things come to a head. Will he be able to prove the eternal doubters wrong? Will he be able to make peace with his daughters, who don’t subscribe to all their father’s wishes? Will he succeed in rising once again?

September 2022Literary Travel Guide Galicia
On the road in Poland and Ukraine
by Marcin Wiatr
Galicia is an integral part of the Habsburg myth and the epitome of worldly seclusion, Eastern Jewish cultural traditions, the Kakan way of life and indescribable poverty. Even if the supranational entity called the Habsburg Monarchy, to which Galicia belonged between 1772 and 1918, no longer exists, the region lives on in literature. In addition to Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Iwan Franko and Karl Emil Franzos, Joseph Roth, Bruno Schulz, Mascha Kaléko, Stanisław Vincenz, Józef Wittlin, Hnat Chotkevych, Zygmunt Haupt, Stanisław Lem, and Isaak Babel dealt with Galician themes. Today, Sophia and Juri Andrukhovych, Andrzej Stasiuk, Olga Tokarczuk, Martin Pollack, Tanya Maljartschuk, Taras and Jurko Prochasko, Ziemowit Szczerek, Natalka Sniadanko, Maxim Biller among others, do so. The book takes you to places of European history in the Southeast of Poland and in the West of Ukraine - from Krakow via Tarnow to Brody and from Lviv via Drohobych, Stanislau/Iwano-Frankiwsk and Boryslau to Zakopane. Marcin Wiatr reminds us that Galicia has historical lessons to teach us all in Europe.

Biography & True StoriesMarch 2018 - May 2018Cellini-Freedom Fighter
This is his true story.
by Vito "Tutuc" Cellini and Mick J. Prodger
Born in New York and raised in Italy, Vito “Tutuc” Cellini went from street gangster to soldier to resistance fighter to secret agent – all before he was twenty-one years of age. Drafted into the fascist Italian army against his will and sent to the front line, he deserted and joined Tito’s Yugoslavian Partisans fighting the Nazis, returning to Italy to join the Allies amid one of the biggest cover-ups of the European war. He ended the war working covertly with the American OSS (forerunner of the CIA) hunting down criminals and undesirables. Sailing home to New York in 1948 with a forged Italian passport and just 12 cents in his pocket, he was arrested at Ellis Island. Since then, Cellini’s inventiveness, reputation and irrepressible sense of adventure have taken him all over the world, often putting his life in great peril. Respected by the New York Mafia, Cellini later negotiated with some of the most feared organized crime syndicates in Italy. Nicaragua’s President Somoza sought his advice on guerilla warfare and weapons tactics, and while in Nicaragua he was embroiled in the assassination of a high profile journalist and had to flee for his life. Cellini has kept Federal Agents informed of credible plots to assassinate known enemies of the United States. He even served for a short time, albeit inadvertently, as bodyguard for a notorious drug lord in Mexico. He has never been afraid of taking the law into his own hands because, he says, sometimes that is the only way to survive. His inventions, including the Cellini muzzle brake, have earned him 19 patents and the undying respect and gratitude of members of the U.S. Special Forces and Law Enforcement. He has been privileged to count some of America’s most revered and decorated military heroes among his closest friends. Cellini is, more than anything, a patriot; a man who puts honor above all. And while some of his adventures make fictional spies and secret agents pale by comparison, unlike his fictitious counterparts, Cellini always remained faithful to one woman. Now in his 90s, he finally feels comfortable talking about his life, and he isn’t pulling any punches. The good. The bad. The ugly. The truth. Includes more than 75 photographs.
