Children's & YAMarch 2020Amelie Trott and the Earth Watchers
by Moyra Irving
This is the extraordinary story of how one small girl stopped a planetary catastrophe. It’s a very timely book, written for the child in us all, with a forceful message about the power of young people to transform the world - a theme currently demonstrated by brave young heroes like Greta Thunberg. And with magical synchronicity, the very week Greta began her lone vigil outside the Swedish government last year, over 1,000 miles (1,897 km) away in the fictional world of books, Amelie Trott took to Parliament Square, London - on a mission to avert the End of the World. It’s a family drama with an international feel - set mainly in England but with episodes in Washington DC and around the world.

Mavi and Mud
by Ayse Bakirci Yucer / Elif Demir
Mavi is a child who gets so bored and dreams of somebody else's toys and clothes even though she has a room full of toys and stuff. Her mother discovers this situation and opens the gateway to a brand new game world to Mavi. She takes her to the park on a rainy holiday and introduces her to mud. She plays the games, which she used to play in the rain during her childhood, with Mavi. Mavi, who realizes that she could have fun without toys and other stuff, finds a way to eliminate the illness of infamous "childhood boredom." She starts to look at everything around her with a completely different eye. Ayşe Bakırcı Yücer, who is an experienced kindergartner, brings an essential and pleasant solution proposal with her first children's story to the biggest problem of today's children.

Overcoming Hate Through Dialogue
CONFRONTING PREJUDICE, RACISM, AND BIGOTRY WITH UNDERSTANDING―AND COFFEE
by Ozlem Cecik
Özlem Cecik reports on some of her most remarkable meetings with her abusers. She visits people with extreme attitudes towards other communities, like the ultra-right Kim, who’d happily kill his Muslim neighbours if only he had a gun. She gains entry to the Islamist Hizbut-Tahrirs mosque, where the imam preaches against democracy and homosexuality. Özlem meets the salafist Mahmut who has killed five policemen and is ready to lay down his life for Islam. Özlem meets the evangelical priest Henrik who opposes gays and whose belief in scripture is as fanatical as any imam’s. She ultimately travels to Israel and the occupied territories to witness the conflict for herself – the same conflict that plays out between Muslims and Jews across the world. Özlem is honest about her own doubts, fears and prejudices; and she probes the origins of anger, frustration, and hate that can envelop anyone in the world today. Ultimately, throughout the book, Özlem tries to address the questions: Can conversations break down prejudice and forge understanding? Is it naive to believe that ordinary people have nothing in common with extremists? And what happens when we stop talking to each other?

FictionOctober 2021Gott aus Stroh
by Frank Dommel
Gott aus Stroh Frank Dommel Kommissar Falk Sebastiani erschießt in der Not drei Attentäter und wird dafür mit fragwürdigem Ruhm und vie Applaus von der falschen Seite bedacht. Er nimmt sich in der norwegischen Finnmark eine Auszeit, doch die Ruhe ist trügerisch: Die Gegend ist Teil einer illegalen Flüchtlingsroute - mit teils daramtischen Folgen. Zudem verdichten sich die Hinweise, dass Falks Tochter Hannah aus Oslo in einen Mordfall involviert ist. Die Suche nach ihr bringt Falk ans Limit. In der unbarmherzigen Wildnis wird er mit einem Gegner konfrontiert, der für Hannahs Taten den ultimativen Preis verlangt: ein Leben für ein Leben. Frank Dommel schreibt mit dem Skalpell - messerscharf beobachtet und gnadenlos ehrlich. In Gott aus Stroh verknüpft er unbequeme gesellschaftspolitische Fakten, feinsinnigen Humor und Fragen nach individueller und politischer Schuld zu einem packenden Kriminalroman. Dreh- und Angelpunkt ist Kommissar Falk Sebastiani, der bei einem Einsatz drei Attentäter erschießt. Halb Held, halb Mörder, sucht er in der Abgeschiedenheit der norwegischen Finnmark Anschluss an sein verpasstes Leben und gerät in ein komplexes Gewirr aus Familiendrama, Flüchtlingsschleusen und organisierter Drogenkriminalität. Wie Dommel aus der Psychologie einer erstarrten, doch beidseitig um einen Neuanfang bemühten Vater-Tochter-Beziehung die Schattenseiten einer zutiefst verunsicherten globalisierten Welt zeigt, ist einzigartig. Zudem verankert er unaufdringlich starkes Lokalkolorit in seinem Plot, in dem sich die Einsamkeit und Kälte des Nordens sowohl in der Stimmung des Romans als auch in der Gemütsverfassung seiner Figuren widerspiegelt. Kopfkino par excellence, das begeistert und lange nachhallt.

The Grandchildren
by Ayşe Gül Altınay, Fethiye Çetin (Eds.)
Fethiye Çetin's groundbreaking memoir My Grandmother provided an alternative track for public debate on the "Armenian issue", steering clear of deadended rhetorical contentions, and relating an irrefutable personal story of grief and silence.The book's powerful reach led many other "grandchildren" to contact Çetin and share their own memories. The Grandchildren is a collection of intimate, moving interviews conducted with 25 such grandchildren across Turkey, tracing the open wounds of the human catastrophe of 1915. Their stories attest to the claim of the past over our present and future, and provide minor histories that no official discourse is able to account for.
