Helen Muspratt, photographer
by Jessica Sutcliffe
Born into a civil service family in India in 1907, Helen Muspratt was a lifelong communist, a member of the Cambridge intellectual milieu of the 1930s, and a working mother at a time when such a role was unusual for women of her class. She was also a pioneering photographer, creating an extraordinary body of work in many different styles and genres. In partnership with Lettice Ramsey she made portraits of many notable figures of the 1930s in the fields of science and culture. Her experimental photography, using techniques such as solarisation and multiple exposure, bears comparison with the innovations of Man Ray and Lee Miller. This book reproduces some of Helen Muspratt's most important photographic images, including documentary records of the Soviet Union and the Welsh valleys. The accompanying text by Jessica Sutcliffe is an intimate and revealing memoir of her mother that offers a fascinating insight into her life, work and politics. ;

Weihnachtliche Kriminalgeschichten
by Carolin Bunk, Hans Sarkowicz
Weihnachten ist die Zeit des Friedens, der Harmonie und des familiären Glücks. Kann sein, muß aber nicht. Denn das Verbrechen macht nie Pause, auch nicht am Heiligen Abend. Welche beängstigenden Abgründe sich gerade beim Fest der Liebe auftun können, ahnen wir nur. Krimiautoren dagegen machen daraus spannende Geschichten. Dann verwandelt sich die o so fröhliche Weihnachtszeit in einen Albtraum. Also: Vorsicht ist geboten, gerade wenn die Glocken am süßesten klingen und die Engelchöre die „Stille Nacht“ besingen. Mit Texten von Dorothy L. Sayers, Ruth Rendell, Dan Brown, Ingrid Noll, Patricia Highsmith, u. a.

Children's & YAHeart of Mist
by Katrin Lange
A girl torn between two brothers. Regardless of which one she falls in love with it will be disastrous for the other. Christopher and Adrian have sworn that no girl will ever come between them again, because there is a sleeping monster inside Adrian, just waiting to hurt his brother. But then Jessa comes to High Moor Grange… Jessa would do anything to find her sister Alice, who has been registered as missing for five years. High Moor Grange is the first clue she has been given after all this time – but apart from a ruin shrouded in mist, all she finds there are the owners of this dilapidated manor house. Jessa suspects that they both know more about Alice’s disappearance than they admit. Christopher wants nothing more than to be rid of her, and constantly gets on her nerves with his arrogance – and even his warm-hearted brother Adrian seems to be harbouring some secrets. Jessica knows that she ought to stay away from the twin brothers, because instead of finding answers at High Moor Grange, she finds herself in danger of losing her heart in a battle against a 200-year-old curse. Dark, irresistible and deeply romantic – a modern Beauty and the Beast story by the queen of emotions!

Über die Kunst, sich Neuem zu stellen
by Joseph Roth, Susanne Schaber
Von Brody nach Lemberg und Wien, von dort weiter nach Berlin und schließlich nach Paris: Joseph Roth war zeitlebens unterwegs, auf der Suche nach Arbeit und Anregungen, auf der Flucht vor den Nazis. Und das im Wissen, nie wirklich ankommen zu können bei sich und in der Welt. „Ich wäre unwürdig des großen Glücks, ein Fremder zu sein, wenn ich noch länger bliebe“, schreibt er im „Abschied vom Hotel“, einem seiner berühmten Feuilletons. „Ich will hier heimisch sein, aber nicht zu Hause.“ Susanne Schaber beobachtet Joseph Roth in den Wartesälen und Vorzimmern des Lebens: ein Brevier übers Aufbrechen und Unterwegssein und über die Kunst, sich dem Unbekannten zu stellen.
