        Kinder des Labyrinths / Children of the Labyrinth

        by Thomas Fritz

        The ever-lasting question: is it possible to reconcile technology and empathy, progress and responsibility? A tragic accident or rather a case of murder? After the deadly fall of his nephew Talos the ingenious inventor Daedalus is suspected of murder and has to leave Athens in a rush. He finds refuge at King Minos’ court, but the protection of the Crete ruler has its price: Daedalus looses the decision power over his own inventions. With the building of the Labyrinth, the human tragedy takes its course. Thomas Fritz re-tells Dädalus’ story in a powerful and visionally strong language; the reader finds himself on the dusty streets of Crete, at the simple dwellings of the locals, as an eye-witness of human happiness and tragedy - the lines between fiction and reality are blurring ...

        The Painter

        by Deirdre Quiery

        In a desire to impress the people who visit his workshop, renowned artist The Painter, employs a gardener to create an inspirational landscape which includes a labyrinth, an orange grove and Moorish-inspired fountains. They develop an intimate relationship and the Painter, whose life and talent had become increasingly dissipated, finds himself slowly recovering his original innocence and talent. However, the relationship is tainted by the Painter's jealousy when visitors express more interest in the magical garden and mysterious labyrinth than in the Painter's art. That jealously blossoms into deadly rage when The Painter catches the gardener changing one of his paintings.... Deirdre Quiery's compelling new thriller explores themes of love, life and deceit, and examines the lengths we will go to pursue and protect our passions.

        De wereld vanuit een luchtballon

        by Robert Verhoogt

        The invention of the hot air balloon in 1783 caused a sensation which would last for more than a century. The great aeronaut Jean-Pierre Blanchard and his fellow pioneers were followed by many others, whose lift-off attracted masses of people again and again. The subsequent “balloon mania” created a new element in cultural history: the third dimension, reflected in the literary and visual arts as well as in high culture and popular imagination. Scenes from a Balloon skilfully endeavours to reconstruct the sensation the balloon caused in cultural history of the late eighteenth and nineteenth century in Europe and the United States. After Thomas Baldwin produced the first image from a balloon in 1785, reproduction of remarkable prints, paintings, and photographs gained widespread popularity. Balloons inspired well-known photographers and artists, including Nadar, Spelterini, Goya, Manet, Daumier, and Redon, but they also led to a wealth of arts & crafts and popular souvenirs. The adventures of Blanchard, Nadar and other balloonists were a source of inspiration for popular writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and Mark Twain.

        How to Think Like Ulysses

        What the Classics Can Teach Us about Life

        by Bianca Sorrentino

        What can the Trojan War tell us about women’s empowerment and immigration? What can the myth of Ulysses tell us about human agency when it is pitted against seemingly unsourmountable circumstances? And what about Orpheus? What can his figure teach us about humanity and its relationship with death? We tend to look at the Classics as dusty, as things from the past, something to study in a college course, but the truth is that they are far more modern than we think, and they can shed a marvellous light on what it means to be humans in the 21st century. Written with a charming levity that cleverly masks years of research, How to Think Like Ulysses is a heartfelt plea to rediscovers the literary wonders of the ancient world and to heed their lesson: life in our contemporary world may be very much different from Athens in the 5th century B.C., but perhaps we didn’t change as much.
