George Orwell

1984 “Tek başına acı, hiçbir zaman yeterli değildir,” dedi. “Bazı durumlarda insan, ölümü göze alma pahasına acıya karşı gelir. Ama herkesin katlanamayacağı bir şey vardır. Dayanamayacağı bir şey. Bu şeyin cesaret ya da korkaklıkla ilgisi yoktur. Yükseklerden düşerken bir ipe tutunmak, ödleklik değildir. Derinlerden yüzeye çıktığında ciğerleri havayla doldurmak ödleklik değildir. Aslında söz konusu olan, yok edilmesi mümkün olmayan bir dürtüden ibarettir.”

Anne Frank

Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl is among the most enduring documents of the twentieth century. Since its publication in 1947, it has been read by tens of millions of people all over the world. It remains a beloved and deeply admired testament to the indestructible nature of the human spirit. Restored in this Definitive Edition are diary entries that were omitted from the original edition. These passages, which constitute 30 percent more material, reinforce the fact that Anne was first and foremost a teenage girl, not a remote and flawless symbol. She fretted about and tried to cope with her own sexuality. Like many young girls, she often found herself in disagreements with her mother. And like any teenager, she veered between the carefree nature of a child and the full-fledged sorrow of an adult. Anne emerges more human, more vulnerable and more vital than ever. Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation, hid in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse for two years. She was thirteen when she went into the Secret Annex with her family. From the Paperback edition.

Christopher Fulton

Michelle Fulton

Christopher Fulton's journey began with the death of Evelyn Lincoln, late secretary to President John F. Kennedy. Through Lincoln, crucial evidence ended up in Christopher's hands—evidence that was going to be used to facilitate a new future for America. But the U.S. government's position was clear: that evidence had to be confiscated and classified, and the truth hidden away from the public. Christopher was sent to federal prison for years under a sealed warrant and indictment. The Inheritance, Christopher's personal narrative, shares insider information from his encounters with the Russian Government, President Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, the Clinton White House, the U.S. Justice Department, the Secret Service, and the Kennedy family themselves. It reveals the true intentions of Evelyn Lincoln and her secret promise to Robert Kennedy—and Christopher's secret promise to John F. Kennedy Jr. The Inheritance explodes with history-changing information and answers the questions Americans are still asking, while pulling them through a gauntlet of some of the worst prisons this country has to offer. This book thrillingly exposes the reality of American power, and sheds light on the dark corners of current corruption within the executive branch and the justice and prison systems.

Eine totgesagte Schuhmarke, die über Nacht zum ultimativ angesagten Modeartikel wird. Ein neu eröffnetes Restaurant, das sofort zum absoluten Renner wird. Der Roman einer unbekannten Autorin, der ohne Werbung zum Bestseller wird. Für den magischen Moment, der eine Lawine lostreten und einen neuen Trend begründen kann, gibt es zahlreiche Beispiele. Wie ein Virus breitet sich das Neue einer Epidemie gleich unaufhaltsam flächendeckend aus. So wie eine einzelne kranke Person eine Grippewelle auslösen kann, genügt ein winziger, gezielter Schubs, um einen Modetrend zu setzen, ein neues Produkt als Massenware durchzusetzen oder die Kriminalitätsrate in einer Großstadt zu senken. „Tipping Point“ zeigt, wie wenig Aufwand zu einem Mega-Erfolg führen kann.

Tipping Point

A. Dante

Dante's Inferno

Under det senaste århundradet har människan lyckats göra det omöjliga. Svält, krig och sjukdomar har förvandlats från obegripliga naturkrafter till problem som faktiskt går att hantera. Idag är det fler som dör av för mycket mat än för lite, det är fler som dör av hög ålder än av smittsjukdomar och självmord är en vanligare dödsorsak än krig och terrordåd tillsammans. Frågan är bara vad som ska ersätta krigen och svälten som mänsklighetens huvudfokus. Vilka framtidsprojekt, drömmar och mardrömmar kommer att prägla vår värld under återstoden av 2000-talet? Yuval Noah Harari har hyllats av läsare och kritiker världen över för sitt avväpnande och samtidigt djupt belästa sätt att skildra mänsklighetens historia. I "Homo Deus" fortsätter han den utforskning av våra grundläggande villkor som påbörjades i föregångaren "Sapiens" - men nu riktar han sökarljuset mot mänsklighetens framtid. "Homo Deus" går på djupet i ämnen som dödens avskaffande, introduktionen av artificiellt liv och varför vi människor strävar efter att förvandlas till gudar. Det är en fascinerande bok som dyker rakt in i mänsklighetens stora och omöjliga ödesfråga: Vart är vi på väg? Yuval Noah Harari (född 1976) har doktorerat i historia vid University of Oxford och undervisar vid Hebreiska universitetet i Jerusalem. Hans bok "Sapiens" blev en enorm internationell succé och har sålts till över 30 länder.

MOBY-DICK OR THE WHALE

Margaret Mitchell

Vom Wind verweht ist ein Klassiker der amerikanischen Literatur, eine abenteuerliche Liebesgeschichte, vor allem aber das große Epos des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs, ein Pendant zu Krieg und Frieden, das Andreas Nohl und Liat Himmelheber zum ersten Mal vollständig ins Deutsche übertragen haben. Jeder kennt die tragische Liebesgeschichte von Scarlett O’Hara und Rhett Butler, wenn auch oft nur aus dem Film, in der Gestalt von Vivien Leigh und Clark Gable. Der Film gilt als einer der erfolgreichsten der Filmgeschichte, aber auch das Buch, das 1936 erschien, war umgehend ein Bestseller und wurde schon 1937 ins Deutsche übersetzt: Keine Geschichte hat unser Bild von den Südsaaten, dem amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg und der Zeit der Reconstruction so sehr geprägt wie Margaret Mitchells Gone With the Wind. Vom Wind verweht, die erste Neuübersetzung seit 1937 – zugleich die erste ungekürzte Übersetzung in deutscher Sprache –, folgt dem schnörkellosen, journalistischen Stil von Margaret Mitchell und lässt uns so fast einen anderen Roman lesen. Natürlich ist es immer noch das große Epos des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs, die tragische Liebesgeschichte und die Geschichte einer jungen Frau, die ihr Leben selbst in die Hand nimmt. Doch die Neuübersetzung von Andreas Nohl und Liat Himmelheber vermeidet den romantisierenden Stil, die rassistischen Stereotypen und den teils kitschigen Ton der Übersetzung von 1937 und zeigt uns einen Roman, der moderner und ambivalenter ist als das verklärte Bild, das wir bisher hatten. Diese Neuübersetzung ist nicht nur ein viel größerer Lesegenuss, sie gibt uns auch – endlich – die Möglichkeit, Vom Wind verweht richtig zu lesen: als den epischen amerikanischen Roman, der Konflikte und Brüche beschreibt, die die USA bis heute prägen.

Erik Larson

'An irresistible page-turner that reads like the most compelling, sleep defying fiction' TIME OUT One was an architect. The other a serial killer. This is the incredible story of these two men and their realization of the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, and its amazing 'White City'; one of the wonders of the world. The architect was Daniel H. Burnham, the driving force behind the White City, the massive, visionary landscape of white buildings set in a wonderland of canals and gardens. The killer was H. H. Holmes, a handsome doctor with striking blue eyes. He used the attraction of the great fair - and his own devilish charms - to lure scores of young women to their deaths. While Burnham overcame politics, infighting, personality clashes and Chicago's infamous weather to transform the swamps of Jackson Park into the greatest show on Earth, Holmes built his own edifice just west of the fairground. He called it the World's Fair Hotel. In reality it was a torture palace, a gas chamber, a crematorium. These two disparate but driven men are brought to life in this mesmerizing, murderous tale of the legendary Fair that transformed America and set it on course for the twentieth century . . .

Euripides

This up-to-date edition makes Euripides' most famous and influential play accessible to students of Greek reading their first tragedy as well as to more advanced students. The introduction analyzes Medea as a revenge-plot, evaluates the strands of motivation that lead to her tragic insistence on killing her own children, and assesses the potential sympathy of a Greek audience for a character triply marked as other (barbarian, witch, woman). A unique feature of this book is the introduction to tragic language and style. The text, revised for this edition, is accompanied by an abbreviated critical apparatus. The commentary provides morphological and syntactic help for inexperienced students and more advanced observations on vocabulary, rhetoric, dramatic techniques, stage action, and details of interpretation, from the famous debate of Medea and Jason to the 'unmotivated' entrance of Aegeus and the controversial monologue of Medea.

This is it. This is the one...It blew the top of my head off and I haven’t been able to stop thinking or talking about it since.” —Elizabeth Gilbert “Taddeo spent eight years reporting this groundbreaking book...Breathtaking...Staggeringly intimate.” —Entertainment Weekly “A breathtaking and important book…What a fine thing it is to be enthralled by another writer’s sentences. To be stunned by her intellect and heart.” —Cheryl Strayed A riveting true story about the sex lives of three real American women, based on nearly a decade of reporting. Hailed as “a dazzling achievement” (Los Angeles Times) and “riveting page-turner that explores desire, heartbreak, and infatuation in all its messy, complicated nuance” (The Washington Post), Lisa Taddeo’s Three Women has captivated readers, booksellers, and critics—and topped bestseller lists—worldwide. In suburban Indiana we meet Lina, a homemaker and mother of two whose marriage, after a decade, has lost its passion. Starved for affection, Lina battles daily panic attacks and, after reconnecting with an old flame through social media, embarks on an affair that quickly becomes all-consuming. In North Dakota we meet Maggie, a seventeen-year-old high school student who allegedly has a clandestine physical relationship with her handsome, married English teacher; the ensuing criminal trial will turn their quiet community upside down. Finally, in an exclusive enclave of the Northeast, we meet Sloane—a gorgeous, successful, and refined restaurant owner—who is happily married to a man who likes to watch her have sex with other men and women. Based on years of immersive reporting and told with astonishing frankness and immediacy, Three Women is both a feat of journalism and a triumph of storytelling, brimming with nuance and empathy. “A work of deep observation, long conversations, and a kind of journalistic alchemy” (Kate Tuttle, NPR), Three Women introduces us to three unforgettable women—and one remarkable writer—whose experiences remind us that we are not alone.

In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. As the death toll climbed, the FBI took up the case. But the bureau badly bungled the investigation. In desperation, its young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to unravel the mystery. Together with the Osage he and his undercover team began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. ‘David Grann has a razor-keen instinct for suspense’ LOUISE ERDRICH

Los mejores libros jamás escritos Edición de Florencio Sevilla Arroyo, catedrático de Filología Española en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid «Contra cuerdos y contra locos está obligado cualquier caballero andante a volver por la honra de las mujeres.» Un éxito desde el momento de su publicación en dos partes (1605 y 1615), Don Quijote de la Mancha es probablemente la mayor novela jamás escrita. Cuenta la historia de un hidalgo que, enloquecido por la lectura excesiva, recorre España en busca de aventura, justicia y gloria. Las múltiples interpretaciones de la obra reflejan su riqueza de significados y contenidos: una crítica de las novelas de caballerías, la contraposición entre realismo e idealismo, o una sátira de las ilusiones cortesanas. Con las divertidas andanzas de su ingenioso protagonista, Cervantes retrató la complejidad de lo humano y dio al arte literario su más alta expresión. Esta edición incluye una introducción que contextualiza la obra, un aparato de notas, una cronología y una bibliografía esencial, así como también varias propuestas de discusión y debate en torno a la lectura. Está al cuidado de Florencio Sevilla Arroyo, catedrático de literatura española de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.

The No.1 New York Times Bestseller 'Reminds us that the mind is the greatest mystery in the universe' Yuval Noah Harari, Guardian, Books of the Year Could psychedelic drugs change our worldview? One of America's most admired writers takes us on a mind-altering journey to the frontiers of human consciousness When LSD was first discovered in the 1940s, it seemed to researchers, scientists and doctors as if the world might be on the cusp of psychological revolution. It promised to shed light on the deep mysteries of consciousness, as well as offer relief to addicts and the mentally ill. But in the 1960s, with the vicious backlash against the counter-culture, all further research was banned. In recent years, however, work has quietly begun again on the amazing potential of LSD, psilocybin and DMT. Could these drugs in fact improve the lives of many people? Diving deep into this extraordinary world and putting himself forwardas a guinea-pig, Michael Pollan has written a remarkable history of psychedelics and a compelling portrait of the new generation of scientists fascinatedby the implications of these drugs. How to Change Your Mind is a report from what could very well be the future of human consciousness. 'His approach is steeped in honesty and self-awareness. His cause is just, his thinking is clear, and his writing is compelling' - Washington Post 'An easy-going humane generosity ... mischievous self-regard ... as if Henry David Thoreau had had an encounter with Woody Allen and never been quite the same since' - Simon Schama

How to Change Your Mind

Hilary Mantel

"Kast Cromwell i fangehullet om morgenen, og om aftenen vil han sidde på en blød pude og spise lærketunger, og alle fangevogterne vil skylde ham penge." Året er 1527, og England er på randen af sammenbrud. Henry VIII sidder på tronen, men har ingen arving. Hans nærmeste rådgiver, kardinal Wolsey, har fået pålagt at opnå skilsmisse, så kongen kan blive gift med Anne Boleyn. Men paven nægter - og Wolsey falder. Wolseys fald baner vejen for hans protegé, den ambitiøse Thomas Cromwell. Søn af en brutal smed, politisk geni, forfører, bølle og en mand med et særligt talent for at manipulere mennesker og begivenheder. Han er hensynsløs i forfølgelsen af egne interesser og går ikke af vejen for at lægge sig ud med parlamentet, den herskende adel og selveste pavedømmet i sit forsøg på at reformere og genrejse England efter kongens og egne ønsker. Wolf Hall er en storslået, moderne og mesterligt fortalt roman om opkomlingen Thomas Cromwells vej til magtens allerøverste tinder - om magtens skønhed og brutalitet, om det politiske spil og hoflivets psykologi, og om hvordan én mands begær får vidtrækkende religiøse, politiske og sociale konsekvenser, der giver genlyd langt ud i resten af Europa.
