This series stands out for a particular graphic style and for the abundance of photographs, specially made for these books.Other series on Rome are instead dedicated to in-depth studies on specific historical and customs themes, or on the mysterious aspects of the city that also reveal its dark side.In the MMC catalogue are other non-fiction books on topics such as Music, Interculture, Anthropology and a series of stories for children encouraging solidarity, non-violence and respect for the environment

        RAND

        by Miru Miroslava Svolikova

        Der Text bewegt sich mit den Tetrissteinen, wir hören ihre Gedanken: »zumindest ich versuche, immer in der mitte zu sein, weil unten verschwindet man.« Die Autorin schickt das letzte Einhorn über die Bühne und die Soziologen, die es jagen. »niemand will am rand sein«, wissen die Tetrissteine, sie wechseln deshalb ohne Unterlass ihre Position. Astronauten blicken aus dem All auf die Menschen, die ihrer Vernichtung harren. Apokalyptisch mutet der alltägliche Kampf ums Dasein an, in den Augen der anderen, auf der brennenden Welt und Bühne. In der letzten der kurzen Szenen und Prosaminiaturen wird die Zukunft weggeschoben und gemeinsam der Moment gesucht. Miroslava Svolikova sieht mehrere Wege, sich dem Rand anzunähern: »aus der mitte heraus, das ist der sozialwissenschaftliche blick; aus dem selbst heraus, dann ist der rand immer der rand des eigenen, das andere die projektion; aus einer existenzialistischen verfasstheit des menschen heraus, der immer vom ausschluss bedroht ist, dem ausschluss, der gemeinschaft konstituiert.« »am rand ist die hoffnung und die wut, die ess ich, wenn ich keine grasbüschel mehr finde.« (Das letzte Einhorn)

        Seawalkers (3). Wild Waves

        by Katja Brandis/Claudia Carls

        The students and teachers at Blue Reef High are worried sick. It’s not just because recently there’s been an influx of reptile and python shapeshifters who are causing chaos. Now there’s a powerful hurricane building up off the coast of Florida. Tiago, the shark shapeshifter, the dolphin girl Shari and all their friends decide to escape by swimming out to the open sea. But will they really be safe there? And will Blue Reef High still be standing when they return? Quite apart from the hurricane, Tiago has heard some unpleasant rumours – that some unscrupulous business people are going to organize fights between divers and sharks. Is this true, and if so, will the Seawalker friends be able to defend themselves?

        Jäger am Rand der Nacht

        Roman

        by Gerlind Reinshagen

        Einer fällt aus dem sicheren Nest. Besser: er läßt sich herausfallen. Gregor, dem Studenten, macht das Leben kein Vergnügen mehr. So will er es so schnell wie möglich hinter sich bringen.Er ißt nicht mehr, beginnt zu trinken, entwischt der rettenden Behandlung. Das bringt die Gemüter seiner Umgebung in Wallung. Als würde alles radioaktiv, beginnt der Familien-Freundes-Kreis sich zu erhitzen, schließlich zu bröckeln.Jeder versucht nun auf eigene Faust den Entflohenen aufzuspüren. Doch Gregor ist gewitzter als sie.Freundinnen, Freunde und Verwandte jagen durch die Stadt. Während der Arbeit in Schneiderräumen, in der Heilanstalt oder beim Kundenbesuch erklären sie in langen Selbstgesprächen, warum es notwendig ist, hier und heute am Leben festzuhalten. Predigten werden gehalten, längst obsolet gewordene Tugenden evoziert. Doch gerade diese »inneren Dialoge« enthüllen, wie jeder von ihnen an seiner ganz speziellen Tugend gescheitert ist.Seltsamerweise ist es dieses Scheitern, das den lebensmüden Gregor fasziniert. In Amerika beginnt er, die Schicksale der Freunde und Verwandten aufzuschreiben. Er beschreibt sie mit ihren hörbaren und unhörbaren Stimmen, die sich zu übertragen scheinen. Das Verfolgen der Idee bringt ihn zurück ins Leben; die besessene Arbeit an diesem Abgesang auf die Tugend zehrt es wieder auf.

        Seawalkers (2). Rescuing Shari

        by Katja Brandis/ Claudia Carls

        For the attention of all Seawalker fans: the marine shapeshifters are back, with Volume 2 of this bestselling, shapeshifter series about Tiago, the young tiger shark, and his friends! Tiago is happy because he’s not only been admitted to Blue Reef High School, but also because at last he’s found a friend in Shari, a dolphin shapeshifter. The young tiger shark really needs a friend, because not everyone is happy to have him around. He is constantly clashing with the shady lawyer Lydia Lennox, and he has made himself unpopular by trying to track down the rubbish gangsters who are poisoning the nature reserve near the school. The situation reaches a climax during an anthropological research trip to Miami. When Shari gets into serious difficulties, Tiago as both human and shark takes a huge gamble in order to save her and her dolphin friends. The Seawalker books are published every six months. Previous publication: Seawalkers (1). Dangerous Shapes.

        An unorthodox history

        British Jews since 1945

        by Gavin Schaffer

        A bold, new history of British Jewish life since the Second World War. Historian Gavin Schaffer wrestles Jewish history away from the question of what others have thought about Jews, focusing instead on the experiences of Jewish people themselves. Exploring the complexities of inclusion and exclusion, he shines a light on groups that have been marginalised within Jewish history and culture, such as queer Jews, Jews married to non-Jews, Israel-critical Jews and even Messianic Jews, while offering a fresh look at Jewish activism, Jewish religiosity and Zionism. Weaving these stories together, Schaffer argues that there are good reasons to consider Jewish Britons as a unitary whole, even as debates rage about who is entitled to call themselves a Jew. Challenging the idea that British Jewish life is in terminal decline. An unorthodox history demonstrates that Jewish Britain is thriving and that Jewishness is deeply embedded in the country's history and culture.
