        Der Fisch, der zu den Sternen schwimmen wollte

        Roman

        by Ahn Do-Hyun, Hyuk Sook Kim, Manfred Selzer

        Sanft wiegt der Grüne Fluss die Lachse auf ihrem Weg zum Oberlauf, dem Ort, wo sie geboren wurden. Sie sind weit geschwommen, haben den Fluten des Ozeans getrotzt und sind mutig den Wasserfall hinaufgesprungen – sie sind ihrer Bestimmung gefolgt und haben getan, was Lachse eben so tun. Doch einer unter ihnen, Silberlachs, will sich nicht damit zufriedengeben – der Sinn seines Daseins muss doch aus mehr bestehen, als blind dem Schwarm zu folgen? Immer wieder streckt er den Kopf aus dem Wasser und blickt sehnsüchtig in die Welt da draußen, gar bis zu den Sternen hinauf. Er will frei sein. Doch seine geliebte Freundin Klarauge warnt ihn davor, Regenbogen nachzujagen. Warum bin ich auf der Welt? Was braucht es zum Glück? Die Geschichte des Fisches, der zu träumen wagte, hat Millionen von Lesern verzaubert. Ahn Do-Hyun stellt mit leichter Hand die großen Fragen des Lebens. Denn im weiten Universum ist jeder nur ein kleiner Fisch – und doch ist jedes Leben einzigartig und wunderbar.

        Beef, Bible and bullets

        Brazil in the age of Bolsonaro

        by Richard Lapper, Leighton Pugh

        Backed by Brazil's wealthy agribusiness groups, a growing evangelical movement, and an emboldened military and police force, Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019. Driven by the former army captain's brand of controversial, aggressive rhetoric, the divisive presidential campaign saw fake news and misinformation shared with Bolsonaro's tens of millions of social media followers. Bolsonaro promised simple solutions to Brazil's rising violent crime, falling living standards and widespread corruption, but what has emerged is Latin America's most right-wing president since the military dictatorships of the 1970s. Famous for his racist, homophobic and sexist beliefs and his disregard for human rights, the so-called 'Trump of the Tropics' has established a reputation based on his polemical, sensationalist statements. Written by a journalist with decades of experience in the field, Beef, Bible and bullets is a compelling account of the origins of Brazil's unique brand of right-wing populism. Lapper offers the first major assessment of the Bolsonaro government and the growing tensions between extremist and moderate conservatives.

        Journey in Trumplandia: The Rise of Populism in America

        by Tiberiu Dianu

        The book is a collection of essays about the transformation of America, which has turned from a united nation to one more divided than ever. Some pundits predict that, if things don’t change, another civil war could occur. Have we reached a point of no return? Hopefully, America is mature enough to learn from its mistakes and avoid further scars along its evolving history. "Trumplandia is a welcome addition toward understanding current events, Washington’s international policy, and the present American society; a society polarized and divided as it has not been since the Civil War.” NICHOLAS DIMA, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor and Research Associate, Nelson Institute, James Madison University, Virginia. "The book is fascinating. It provides background to, and insights into [the] current and past political history as well as offering a personal view... of the country and society. Presented in thematic form in chapters and sections, the insights offered provide a suggestive radiography...” Dr. DENNIS DELETANT, OBE, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington DC. "There has been this backsliding in... what a truly functioning rule-of-law state is, that has proper separation of co-equal powers, which, if you don’t keep working on that, you backslide. And I am even worried about that here, in the United States right now, about backsliding.” OBIE MOORE, Esq., OLM Advisors LLC, Washington DC “Indeed, Trumplandia should be a welcome addition to any scholar, student or layman’s library, especially in its international edition. If anyone loses sleep over its challenging assertions, then it will have been well worth it.” ERNESTO MORALES HIZON, Ph.D. Candidate in American and Comparative Politics at Claremont Graduate University, Member, Integrated Bar of the Philippines ABOUT THE AUTHOR: TIBERIU DIANU has practiced law in Romania (as a corporate lawyer, judge, senior counselor at the Ministry of Justice, university professor and senior legal researcher), and in the United States (as a legal expert for the judiciary). He published several books and a host of articles in law, politics, and post-communist societies. Tiberiu currently lives and works in Washington, DC.
