"It´s wasn´t me" is a book for little ones where humor, simplicity and everyday life remind us that there can always be a mischievous hand behind “mysterious things”. The characters in this book jauntily remind us of our own families. It is a story where Alejandra Acosta’s illustrations recreate everyday situations full of expressiveness and frankness that are also full of humor. Her casual and frank strokes accompany a text that hints at sweet mischief and that, with an unexpected twist, will show us that not only the youngest one in the house enjoys playing pranks.
"Hidden in his horn he guards the secret of the jungle”. This might be as well the beginning of a novel, but it's an inspired riddle about wild animals. The illustrations in high varnish of this edition highlight the different skin textures of each animal and invites the reader to discover a new way of reading in a tactile and playful way.

On May of 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, 456 sons and daughters of republican fighters took the transatlantic boat Mexique, that set sail in Bordeau to arrive in Mexico. Previsions were that they would stay there three or four months, but the Republican defeat and the beginning of the Second World War changed that brief exile into a definitive one. This books tells the story not only of those children, but also about the ship, being aware that we do not know how many boats try to cross our oceans every day, moving human beings that have full rights to a proper way of living and not to stand over a land that tears apart below their feet.

Eine märchenhafte Schönheit, Freundin, Geliebte und Muse bedeutender Künstler ihrer Zeit, eine amerikanische Jüdin mit katholisch-bayerischer Erziehung, eine Nomadin zwischen Alter und Neuer Welt – das Leben der Malerin Eva Herrmann war ein Roman mit sehr widersprüchlichen Kapiteln. 1901 als Tochter eines amerikanischen Malers in München geboren, wuchs Eva Herrmann in Bayern auf. Im Alter von achtzehn Jahren kam sie erstmals in die USA und pendelte seitdem zwischen den Kontinenten, reiste in die Sowjetunion und verkehrte in den Exilanten- und Künstlerkreisen in Sanary-sur-Mer und Los Angeles. 1940 verließ sie Europa und lebte bis zu ihrem Tod 1978 in Kalifornien. Erfolg hatte sie mit ihren Schriftsteller-Karikaturen, als erste Frau auf diesem Gebiet. Sie hatte Liebschaften mit Johannes R. Becher, Aldous Huxley, Lion Feuchtwanger, pflegte Freundschaften mit Klaus Mann, Golo Mann, Sybille Bedford, Mercedes de Acosta, Ludwig Marcuse und vielen anderen. Thomas und Katia Mann nahmen sie wie eine Tochter auf. Ihre letzten Lebensjahre verbrachte sie in einer traumhaften Villa über der Bucht von Santa Barbara. Sie widmete sich zunehmend der Astrologie und parapsychologischen Phänomenen. Als Medium empfing sie Diktate von verstorbenen Persönlichkeiten, die sie ab 1976 unter dem Titel »Von drüben« veröffentlichte und in dem ein Post mortem-Nachwort von Thomas Mann abgedruckt ist. Der erfolgreiche Autor Manfred Flügge präsentiert die erste Biographie dieser faszinierenden Frau, die bislang weitgehend unbeachtet geblieben ist. Er hat dazu weltweit in Archiven geforscht, Gespräche mit Zeitzeugen geführt, zahlreiche unbekannte Briefe, Dokumente und Fotos gesichtet und gibt in dieser spannenden Lebensgeschichte auch einen neuen Blick auf andere Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts frei. - mit Abbildungen

In Buenos Aires blühte seit jeher das kulturelle Leben. Hier lebten nicht nur Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, der Tangokönig Carlos Gardel und Diego Maradona, hier logierten Ana Pavlova und Manuel de Falla im ersten Hotel der Stadt, die Großen der Opernwelt – Caruso, Karajan, Toscanini, Callas – gastierten am Teatro Colón, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry entwarf seinen Vol de nuit in einem der ersten Hochhäuser der Stadt und Federico García Lorca war monatelang die Attraktion der Theaterwelt. Sieglinde Oehrlein führt den Leser auf den Spuren dieser und anderer Persönlichkeiten durch die Stadt und an so manche versteckte Orte, an die es normalerweise keinen Touristen verschlägt.

What does it mean to say that modern politics is personalised? To what extent is it more personalised than in the past, what is distinctive about contemporary forms of personalisation and are these changes enduring? This book addresses these questions. It re-thinks the concept of personalisation and develops an analytical framework for its study, in the process challenging current theorisation and bridging the political science and media studies approaches to the subject. Moreover, it presents new, rich and rigorous empirical data about how personalisation has developed over time in the UK, from 1945 to 2009. Its conceptual depth and empirical range makes the book a must-read for anyone researching the phenomenon of personalisation internationally, and a benchmark for future studies. It is also highly accessible to undergraduate and graduate students in political communication, British politics and media studies. ;
