        Der Lech markiert seit Jahrhunderten die Grenze zwischen Alt-Baiern und Schwaben. Trotzdem gab es zu allen Zeiten einen regen Austausch hüben wie drüben, auch wenn der jeweils andere jenseits des Flusses immer ein Stück weit "fremd" geblieben war. Oft ein Ergebnis politischer Machtstrukturen. So war es für die Baiern selbstverständlich, dass das Leprosenhaus, der Friedhof und der Galgen "schwabseits" standen. Uns liegt es am Herzen, Grenzen verschwimmen zu lassen. Nicht nur im Zwischenmenschlichen, sondern auch über literarische Genre-Grenzen hinweg. Der Baumeister von Landsberg ist - nach Aussage vieler Leser - eine gelungene Mischung aus historisch getreuem Sachbuch und unterhaltsamer Belletristik. Das versuchen wir auch in unseren Kriminalromanen wiederzugeben. In unseren Romanen und Kurzgeschichten-Sammlungen werden die Protagonisten mit Grenzen konfrontiert, die das Leben selbst mit sich bringt. Dabei soll die Bandbreite menschlichen Handelns aufgezeigt werden, das oft auch gesellschaftliche Konventionen in Frage stellt.

        Reineke Fuchs

        by Reinhard Michl, Matthias Reiner

        Pünktlich zu Pfingsten lässt König Nobel alle Tiere wie jedes Jahr zum Hoftag rufen. Nur einer erscheint nicht: Reineke Fuchs. Denn er wird zahlloser Verbrechen beschuldigt: »Wenn Reineke tot wäre, könnten wir alle in Frieden leben.« Schließlich stellt er sich dem Gerichtsverfahren, doch am Ende siegt nicht die Gerechtigkeit, sondern der trickreichste und skrupelloseste Protagonist, der begabteste Lügner .... Reineke Fuchs wird Kanzler, sein Wort »fortan Gesetz«. Das parabelhafte Epos, erstmals 1498 in deutscher Sprache erschienen, wurde Volksbuch, Klassiker und Kinderbuch, ist seither in unzähligen Auflagen und Ausgaben erschienen. Für die Ausgabe der Insel-Bücherei wird der Urtext nacherzählt, Reinhard Michl hat ihn mit seinen unverwechselbaren Bildern illustriert. »Reinecke Fuchs. Vor Jahrhunderten hätte ein Dichter dies gesungen? Wie ist das möglich? Der Stoff ist ja von gestern und heut!« Johann Wolfgang Goethe

        Amino Acids in Prevention and Treatment

        A selection for clinical practice

        by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters

        In contrast to vitamins and minerals, for a long time, science paid only scant attention to amino acids, but this all changed when scientists Robert F. Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro and Ferid Murad received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1998 for their work on amino acids. Pharmacist Uwe Gröber, Head of the Academy for Micronutrient Medicine in Essen and Prof. Klaus Kisters, MD, Head of the Department of Medicine at St Anna Hospital in Herne – both experts in micronutrient medicine – have reviewed the subject and explain clearly and in practical terms: ■ The importance of individual amino acids for our health ■ How they are optimally used in combination with vitamins, minerals and trace elements ■ Which diseases can be positively influenced in this way. ■ Effects on colds and influenza, cold sores, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, ADHD as well as stress and burnout are examined in more detail. A further chapter is devoted to amino acids and their use in sportsmen and -women.

        by Peter Geyer

        Klaus Kinski, der einzige deutsche Nachkriegs-Weltstar, war schon zu Lebzeiten Legende. Sein radikal expressionistisches Schauspiel, seine eruptiv sinnlichen Literaturaufnahmen, seine revolutionär erotischen Memoiren und sein charmant unangepaßtes Auftreten in den Medien halten ihn in all seinen Wirkungsbereichen herausragend in Erinnerung. Als nonkonformistische Kult-Ikone ist er generationübergreifendes Leitbild, dessen Anhängerschaft stetig wächst.

        Claude Simon

        Adventures in Words

        by Alastair B. Duncan

        Introducing novels by the Nobel Prize for Literature author, Claude Simon, this text gives emphasis to peaks in his literary achievement: "The Flanders Road" (1960), "The Georgics" (1981) and "The Acacia" (1989). Alastair Duncan traces the development and recurrence of major themes, such as war, time and memory, and the constantly renewed inventiveness of Simon's manner. Duncan illustrates and comments on the various critical approaches which have been made to the novels over the years, from phenomenological interpretations, through structuralism to the autobiographical and psychobiographical approaches of the 1980s and 1990s. The text includes a chapter on Simon's most recent works ("Le Jardin des Plantes" 1997 and "Le Tramway" 2001).

        The Nobel Laureate Who Met a Polite Raccoon in the Woods

        When the brain goes mad: 30 rare and unusual mental syndromes

        by Monika Niehaus

        The human brain is a highly complex and highly functional structure consisting of almost 90 billion nerve cells. But it can go out of sync, due to genetic factors, hormonal effects, trauma or other causes. In extreme cases, our control centre then creates bizarre delusions – brilliant narratives that are completely convincing to the person concerned. In her second book on such phenomena, Monika Niehaus has compiled 30 rare psychological disorders – from a conviction to have been abducted by aliens, to being sexually attracted to criminals, to the hyperthymestical syndrome where people can remember every detail of their past life. Narrated in an interesting, humorous and sensitive way, the author relates a variety of cases, some of them famous, others less so, while introducing us to the history of art and literature and presenting scientific explanations. This fascinating book shows the genius that resides in our brain – and how madness can often be explained.
