View Rights PortalAs the foods and recipes of Mexico have blended over the years into New Mexico's own distinctive cuisine, the chile pepper has become its defining element and single most important ingredient. Though many types were initially cultivated there, the long green variety that turned red in the fall adapted so well to the local soil and climate that it has now become the official state vegetable.To help chefs and diners get the most from this unique chile's great taste–without an overpowering pungency–Dave DeWitt, the noted Pope of Peppers, has compiled a complete guide to growing, harvesting, preserving and much more–topped off with dozens of delicious recipes for dishes, courses, and meals of every kind.
This large-size wimmel-boardbook in leporello format can be opened to a length of nearly three-and-a-half metres. It invites you on an immersive journey through the woods. On the one hand you will find the secret life of a forest populated by flora and fauna that seem enchanted. A journey to the depths of the forest where we observe how dozens of animals coexist, walking, exploring, singing, playing, running, playing instruments, dancing, bathing, hugging and taking care of each other. On the other side, a farm with inhabitants who love their environment and cultivate it. 10 flaps to discover hidden animals. Back cover brings a quote from the painter Henri Matisse.

It's 1879. To the north, Chile defends foreign investment in the Pacific War. To the south, beyond the already invaded Araucania, from a large, almost unexplored island, rumors of violence, superstition and a state incapable of enforcing its law spread. The elite would be at ease if some “elements” that are not occupied at the border with Peru penetrated Chiloé. They need evidence to condemn those criminals who terrorize the population with old indigenous beliefs. They call themselves witches. They are organized as La Recta Provincia or La Hermandad de la Casa Grande. They lie to scare and change the names of the cities on the island –Achao, Dalcahue or Quicaví–, confusing them with others: Buenos Aires, Villarrica, Salamanca. If they were only myths, it would be enough for the government to forget that secret place. But the one who calls himself the Greatest Liar in the World claims to have escaped the sorcerers and travels the north glimpsing the aliens: he talks to them of malice, monsters and murders; of the bloody clans' struggles to become a decaying reign. For these lies, or to secure an unstable national pride, coronels and tenants decide to put an end to things that a mortal has no power to finish.
Als junge Frau verläßt Inés Suárez im 16. Jahrhundert ihr Heimatland Spanien, um auf dem wilden südamerikanischen Kontinent nach ihrem verschollenen Ehemann zu suchen. Ihn wird sie nicht mehr lebend finden, dafür aber ihre große Liebe: den Feldherrn Pedro de Valdivia, mit dem sie sich gegen alle Widerstände an die Eroberung Chiles macht. Mit viel Hingabe und Einfühlungsvermögen verleiht Isabel Allende in ihrem Weltbestseller der historischen Gestalt der Inés Suárez ein Gesicht und eine Stimme und nimmt ihre Leser mit auf eine packende Reise durch ein bewegtes und bewegendes Leben.
Das Erdbeben in Chili – Die Marquise von O... – Die Verlobung in St. Domingo – Kommentar von Helmut Nobis
Wie lebt es sich, wenn man Tag für Tag durch ein Minenfeld aus Lügen muss? Wenn man die Nähe anderer Menschen sucht und dabei weiß, dass man weder der eigenen Familie noch der Liebe vertrauen kann? Und was lernt man – und wie lernt man zu denken –, in einer politisch fragwürdigen Gesellschaft, die Zuflucht nimmt in apathischer Gemütlichkeit? Alejandro Zambra macht das spürbar und begreiflich – mit einem Bravourstück interaktiver Literatur: einem Multiple-Choice-Test, der sich am chilenischen »Eignungstest für höhere Bildung« der Jahre 1967 bis 2002 orientiert. Multiple Choice ist ein philosophischer Abenteuerspielplatz, ein hintergründig unterhaltsames Buch, und die Behauptung, dass es ein Roman sei, ist so waghalsig wie die Behauptung, dass es keiner sei. Wie lebt man, wie liebt man als junger Mensch in einer Diktatur? Alejandro Zambra – der »Magier der kleinen Form« (Deutschlandfunk Kultur) – betreibt ein schillerndes literarisches Experiment, in dem das Poetische und das Politische auf beunruhigend komische Weise zur Deckung kommen.
