December 2015Frauen, die wir lieben
Filmdiven und ihre heimlichen Verehrer
by Freddy Langer
Von Ava Gardner, Katharine Hepburn und Romy Schneider, über Marilyn Monroe und Audrey Hepburn hin zu Catherine Deneuve und Charlotte Rampling – die Grandes Dames der Kinoleinwand, die als unwiderstehliche Ikonen, betörende Schönheiten und verwegene Femmes fatales in die Geschichte des Films eingingen, begeistern nicht nur Filmenthusiasten immer wieder aufs Neue, sie haben seit jeher auch Männerherzen höherschlagen lassen. Freddy Langer versammelt in diesem Band die schönsten Liebeserklärungen von Schauspielern, Autoren, Filmemachern, Musikern, Malern, Journalisten, Regisseuren – die geistreich, subtil, direkt, leidenschaftlich, witzig oder tiefsinnig, dabei aber immer ganz ehrlich ihre Verehrung zum Ausdruck bringen. Mit Texten von Volker Schlöndorff, Harry Rowohlt, Peter Härtling, Markus Kavka und vielen anderen.

September 2008Gute Vorsätze, schlechtes Karma
Geschichten vom Ende des Jahres
by Harriet Köhler, Karsten Kredel
Silvester: eigentlich nur ein Datum, aber eines, dem man sich schwer entziehen kann, wenn einem die Knaller um die Ohren fliegen und die Flucht aufs Land spätestens im Oktober geplant werden muss. Und die stillen Tage zwischen den Jahren, in die man nach Weihnachten satt und faul driftet: Die einen genießen sie, andere ergreift die Panik, wenn Rückschau und innere Einkehr drohen. Und immer wieder hofft man hartnäckig auf Erneuerung. Man möchte ein besserer Mensch werden, bewusster leben, weniger fernsehen. Siebzehn neue Geschichten über die Tage am Ende des Jahres. Was bringen sie außer Katerstimmung und hohen Rechnungen? Was genau geht da eigentlich zu Ende? Und was beginnt? Mit Texten von DBC Pierre, Detlef Kuhlbrodt, Rainer Schmidt, Thomas Pletzinger, Markus Kavka, Moritz von Uslar, Barbara Höfler, Thomas von Steinaecker, Claudio Gutteck, Susanne Heinrich, Anna von Bayern, Saskia Fischer, Andreas Stichmann, Tobias Hülswitt und Malin Schwerdtfeger. Außerdem: Hans Nieswandts Top 10 der musikalischen Silvesterknaller

Personal & social issues: sexuality & relationships (Children's/YA)2019Not The Ideal Picture Book Girl
by Agnes Ofner
Across the street from Zara’s lives Sam. She can see exactly into his room. Sam often cries, and that worries Zara so much that she thinks about how she could help. With "Hello I'm Zara" on three slips of paper in the window, a cautious contact begins across the street. The two of them get to know each other better via their messages, but Sam quickly realizes that he needs distance and does not want to meet Zara. She has other things to do anyway: she wants to get Josef’s heart, and with Miriam, her best friend, it is just difficult. Sam lives a secluded life, because he does not feel at home in his body – which is a girl's body and this becomes more visible with each passing day. In the end, Zara almost kills her first boyfriend with peanuts and ends up in the hospital where Sam and his parents are waiting for a medical consultation. And then, while still nothing is easy, Zara slowly understands what Sam's problem is.
