        Dritte Fluggeschwindigkeit

        Roman

        by Lotta Lotass, Sabine Neumann

        Erreicht ein Raumschiff die dritte Fluggeschwindigkeit von 16,6 km/Sekunde, kann es das Sonnensystem verlassen und weiterfliegen zu anderen Welten. Vom sowjetischen 'Kosmodrom' Baikanur startet 1961 die erste bemannte Raumkapsel ins All. An Bord: Juri Gagarin, Held Nr. 11.175 der Sowjetunion. Einfühlsam und sehr poetisch verknüpft Lotta Lotass Mythen und Fakten zu einem Roman über den großen Pionier der Raumfahrt. Sie erzählt von seiner Kindheit in der Kälte Sibiriens, von der Besessenheit des jungen Kosmonauten, von den Sehnsüchten und Träumen, von Schrecken und Angst des Auserwählten. Aber auch die Männer an Gagarins Seite läßt Lotass zur Sprache kommen und schafft auf diese Weise eine vielstimmige Erzählung über Triumphe, Niederlagen und menschliche Tragödien. Dritte Fluggeschwindigkeit ist ein fesselnder Roman über den Beginn der Raumfahrt, über Entdeckungsreisende, die in ihrer Sehnsucht nach der Erforschung anderer Welten an ihre Grenzen stoßen.

        Der Sommer, in dem Linda schwimmen lernte

        Roman

        by Roy Jacobsen, Gabriele Haefs

        Alles ändert sich im Leben des zehnjährigen Finn, als plötzlich seine kleine Halbschwester Linda mutterseelenallein vor der Tür steht – mit einem himmelblauen Koffer und jeder Menge emotionalem Sprengstoff … Es ist das Jahr 1961 – das Jahr, in dem John F. Kennedy Präsident wird, Gagarin in den Weltraum fliegt und der Bau der Berliner Mauer beginnt. Finn wächst in einer schmucklosen Vorstadt von Oslo auf, das Leben ist einfach und sozialdemokratisch. Er ist ein schmächtiger Junge, aber vielleicht der Klügste seiner Klasse. Wacker schlägt er sich mit seiner Mutter durch den Alltag, seit der Vater gestorben ist. Bis eines Tages die kleine Linda Einzug hält: Die Sechsjährige wirkt merkwürdig, pummelig ist sie, abwesend und schweigsam. Auch die Mutter, der einstige Fels in der Brandung, ist anders als sonst. Für Finn beginnt ein Sommer, den er nie vergessen wird … »Der Sommer, in dem Linda schwimmen lernte« ist ein Familienroman voller Wärme und Magie und eine ergreifende Geschichte über die große Macht des Kleinen.
