Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse EN
GermanyDescription:
This Faust-like and magical story of the humanization of a middle-aged misanthrope was described in The New York Times as a 'savage indictment of bourgeois society'. But, as the author notes in this edition, Steppenwolf is a book that has been consistently misinterpreted. This self-portrait of a man who felt himself to be half-human and half-wolf can also be seen as a plea for rigorous self-examination and an indictment of intellectual hypocrisy.

Description:
Für Stille in lauten Zeiten – Dirk Pope über eine tiefe Freundschaft von zwei beeindruckenden Jugendlichen Mariella redet nicht, nicht mit der Mutter, dem Vater, nicht mit den Goldfischen, den Lehrern oder Mitschülern. Weil ihre Eltern sich getrennt haben. Weil niemand sie verstehen will. Und weil ohnehin zu viel geredet wird. Je lauter es um sie herum wird, desto leiser wird sie. Mariellas Stille eckt an und fordert heraus. Keiner darf einfach so anders sein. Zum Glück ist da Stan, der gehörlos ist und Mariella akzeptiert, so wie sie ist. Gemeinsam mit ihm findet Mariella eine eigene Sprache.... continue

Stones From the River by Ursula Hegi EN
Description:
From the acclaimed author of Floating in My Mother’s Palm and Children and Fire, a stunning story about ordinary people living in extraordinary times—“epic, daring, magnificent, the product of a defining and mesmerizing vision” (Los Angeles Times). Trudi Montag is a Zwerg—a dwarf—short, undesirable, different, the voice of anyone who has ever tried to fit in. Eventually she learns that being different is a secret that all humans share—from her mother who flees into madness, to her friend Georg whose parents pretend he’s a girl, to the Jews Trudi harbors in her cellar. Ursula Hegi brings us a t... continue

Suferinţele tânărului Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe RO
Description:
„O, ce fiinta e si omul ca se poate plinge de el insusi! Vreau in aceste clipe, iubite prietene, iti fagaduiesc, vreau sa ma indrept, nu vreau sa mai rumeg putinul rau pe care destinul ni-l harazeste, asa cum am facut pina acum; vreau sa ma bucur de clipa de fata, si tot ce e trecut sa ramina trecut. Desigur, tu ai dreptate, prietene; durerile oamenilor ar fi mai mici daca ei – Dumnezeu stie de ce sint facuti astfel! – nu s-ar ocupa cu un atit de mare zel al inchipuirii de amintirea relelor trecute si ar indura un prezent nepasator.“ (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

Tauben im Gras : Roman by Wolfgang Koeppen DE
Description:
»Koeppens Werk besteht, wie das von allen Schriftstellern, aus Büchern von sehr unterschiedlicher Bedeutung. Ich schätze besonders den frühen Roman Eine unglückliche Liebe, den Roman Der Tod in Rom und das Fragment Jugend. Für das allerwichtigste Buch von Koeppen halte ich den herrlichen Roman Tauben im Gras, veröffentlicht 1951 und nach wie vor viel zu wenig bekannt. Wer diesen Roman nicht gelesen hat, der solle nicht glauben, er kenne die deutsche Literatur nach 1945.« Marcel Reich-Ranicki

The Agrarian Sociology of Ancient Civilizations by Max Weber EN
Description:
Max Weber is widely recognized as the greatest of the founders of classical sociology. Yet whilst his thought is often associated with the development of capitalism in Western Europe or the analysis of modernity, Weber also had a profound scholarly interest in ancient societies and the Near East. The Agrarian Sociology of Ancient Civilizations—Weber's neglected masterpiece which first appeared in German in 1987 and was reissued in 1909—represents a fascinating and rigorous exercise to bring the newly-forged concepts of sociology to bear on civilizations as diverse as Mesopotamia and Egypt, Heb... continue
