Oxen. Noctis (#5) by Jens Henrik Jensen DE
Description:
Über Niels Oxen bricht die Nacht herein …
Alles könnte gut werden: Flashbacks und Albträume quälen Niels Oxen seltener und er denkt darüber nach, was ihm in seinem Leben fehlt: Beziehungen. Und Liebe. Da bittet Ex-PET-Chef Mossmann ihn um Unterstützung. In einer verlassenen Kiesgrube sind die Leichen ermordeter Veteranen gefunden worden. Bedroht das Land ein Sniper? Unachtsam geworden, wird Oxen verschleppt – und dort, wo er erwacht, gibt es nur Dunkelheit …

Oxen. Pilgrim (#6) by Jens Henrik Jensen DE
Description:
Oxen hat wochenlange Gefangenschaft und grausame Kämpfe in den Katakomben überlebt, aber er ist nicht mehr derselbe. Zum ersten Mal hat er getötet, um zu leben. Um Abstand zu gewinnen und seine Taten zu sühnen, begibt er sich auf Pilgerreise.
Auch Margarethe Frank muss sich neu orientieren, denn nach einem Zerwürfnis wird sie vom dänischen Geheimdienst PET suspendiert. Da kommt die Anfrage von Axel Mossmann gerade recht. Er braucht Hilfe bei einem unbedeutend wirkenden Fall. Doch was zunächst nach einem kleinen Finanzbetrug aussieht, erreicht ungeahnte Dimen... continue

Papa Oso Vuelve a Casa by Else Holmelund Minarik ES
Description:
La figura paterna centra los relatos agrupados en “Papá Oso vuelve a casa”, que se enmarcan en un contexto doméstico, de cotidianeidad y familiaridad con otros habitantes del bosque. Osito nos hace partícipes de sus sueños y aspiraciones: parecerse a su padre e imaginarse pescando en el mar como él, aunque tenga que conformarse con un tronco a modo de barco y un pez pequeño como única captura en el río. La noticia de su regreso ilusiona a Osito con la idea de conocer una sirena; y con él, otros animales van a recibirle, aunque de la sirena no haya más rastro que la hipótesis de unas burbujas e... continue

Piazza Bucharest by Jens Christian Grøndahl RO
Description:
Piazza Bucarest isi poarta istoriile printr-o lume nostalgica, cu radacini cosmopolite (New York, Copenhaga, Bucuresti, Roma), amintiri rascolitoare si vieti dezradacinate. De la un personaj la altul, Grondahl pune in pagina nelinistile unei epoci trecute: reflectii asupra exilului, asupra capcanelor libertatii si asupra fragilitatii literaturii, a cartii.
„Teama este, cred eu, strins legata de dorinta. Exista teama de a pierde femeia iubita, dar barbatilor le este teama si ca femeile le-ar putea patrunde ideile mai mult sau mai putin pretentioase si suficiente pe care si le fac des... continue
