        Iris Apfel

        Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre

        by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Kristen Barnhart, Svenja Becker

        Sie ist vielleicht nicht hübsch, aber sie hat Stil, sagten die Kommilitoninnen über Iris, als sie in New York Kunstgeschichte studierte. Schon als Kind erlebte sie in der Boutique ihrer Eltern die Faszination von Mode und Design. Diese Faszination durch das Schöne hat sie von klein auf selbstbewusst verkörpert. Und zu ihrem Beruf gemacht. Als Journalistin, Autorin, Model, Ausstellungsmacherin und Beraterin von neun Präsidenten, denen sie als Innenarchitektin Farbe, Glanz und Flair ins Weiße Haus brachte. Stil ist keine Frage des Alters, nach diesem Motto lebt und arbeitet die inzwischen 102 Jahre alte Stil-Ikone noch immer. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

        Musik für Flughäfen

        Kurze Texte

        by Iris Hanika

        Über Iris Hanikas ersten Band in der edition suhrkamp – Das Loch im Brot – schrieb Die Zeit: 'Obgleich ihr Buch ein geradezu unverzichtbares Brevier für die Forty-Somethings ist, kann der Leser nicht auf praktische Wahrheiten hoffen.' Für Musik für Flughäfen gilt das erst recht: Die Wahrheit sucht die Autorin nicht, aber die Wirklichkeit läßt sie nicht los. Die beobachtet sie übergenau. Zudem ist sie eine unerschrockene Erforscherin des Liebeslebens unter den Bedingungen von Großstadt, Hysterie und Völkerwanderung.

        Die Wette auf das Unbewußte oder Was Sie schon immer über Psychoanalyse wissen wollten

        by Iris Hanika, Edith Seifert

        In Deutschland hat die Psychoanalyse heute einen so schweren Stand, daß sie manchmal schon für überholt erklärt wird. Zu Unrecht. In Wirklichkeit ist sie nämlich höchst lebendig, wie Iris Hanika und Edith Seifert zeigen, indem sie von ihrer praktischen Erfahrung mit der Psychoanalyse erzählen — mit der Psychoanalyse nach Jacques Lacan. Sie stellen die Psychoanalyse nach dessen Methode von beiden Seiten dar, aus der Sicht der Analytikerin ebenso wie aus der Sicht der Analysantin.

        Das Fest der Liebe

        Neue Weihnachtsgeschichten

        by Susanne Gretter

        Weihnachten ist das Fest der Liebe – was zu beweisen ist. Indem man es mit der Liebsten auf einer einsamen Berghütte verbringt. Oder – ganz ohne Weihnachtsbaum - unter Palmen. Man lädt die Eltern zu sich nach Hause ein. Oder – natürlich nur den Kindern zuliebe – den geschiedenen Mann. Oder aus purer Nächstenliebe eine Flüchtlingsfamilie? Was geschieht, wenn Mutter und Sohn sich zufällig auf einer Bank vor der Bahnhofsmission wiedertreffen? Weihnachtsliebe – mitmenschlich, christlich, erotisch – treibt seltsame Blüten. Davon wissen die in diesem Band versammelten Autorinnen und Autoren ein Lied zu singen: Friedrich Ani, Antonia Baum, Doris Dörrie, Tanja Dückers, Harald Martenstein, Stefan Moster, Edgar Rai, Daniel Schreiber und viele andere. Fröhlich, melancholisch, liebevoll, heiter und humorvoll: Geschichten über ein Gefühl, das uns an Weihnachten überfällt – und nur schwer zu bändigen ist.
