Anne FrankTagebuchby Anne Frank, Fassung Von Otto H. FrankISBN 3596152771 (3-596-15277-1)
Softcover, Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag

› Find signed collectible books: 'Anne FrankTagebuch'Book summary:Dieses lebendige, Einblick gewährende Tagebuch ist seit seiner ersten Veröffentlichung 1947 ein geliebter Klassiker und ein passendes Denkmal für den begabten jüdischen Teenager, der 1945 im Konzentrationslager Bergen-Belsen ums Leben kam. 1929 geboren, bekam Anne Frank zu ihrem 13. Geburtstag ein neues, unbeschriebenes Tagebuch geschenkt, nur wenige Wochen bevor sie und ihre Familie im von den Nazis besetzten Amsterdam untertauchen mußten. Ihre wunderbar detaillierten persönlichen Eintragungen zeichnen 25 anstrengende Monate klaustrophobischer, streitgeladener Intimität mit ihren Eltern, ihrer Schwester, einer zweiten Familie und einem älteren Zahnarzt nach, der wenig Toleranz für Annes Lebhaftigkeit zeigt. Der universelle Reiz des Tagebuchs beruht auf seiner fesselnden Mischung aus den schmuddeligen Besonderheiten des Lebens im Krieg (karge, schlechte Mahlzeiten; schäbige Kleider, aus denen man längst herausgewachsen ist, die aber nicht ersetzt werden können; die ständige Angst, entdeckt zu werden) und der offenherzigen Auseinandersetzung über Gefühle, die jedem Heranwachsenden bekannt sind: "Jeder kritisiert mich, niemand erkennt meine wahre Natur, wann werde ich endlich geliebt?" Aber Anne Frank war kein gewöhnlicher Teenager: Die späteren Eintragungen verraten einen für eine kaum 15jährige bemerkenswerten Sinn für Mitgefühl und spirituelle Tiefe. Ihr Tod verkörpert den Wahnsinn des Holocaust, aber für die Millionen, die Anne durch ihr Tagebuch kennengelernt haben, ist er auch ein sehr persönlicher Verlust. --Wendy Smith [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Cien Anos De Soledad'Book summary:Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo .
Con estas palabras empieza una novela ya legendaria en los anales de la literatura universal, una de las aventuras literarias más fascinantes del siglo xx. Millones de ejemplares de Cien años de soledad leídos en todas las lenguas y el Premio Nobel de Literatura coronando una obra que se había abierto paso a boca a boca como gusta decir el escritor son la más palpable demostración de que la aventura fabulosa de la familia Buendía-Iguarán, con sus milagros, fantasías, obsesiones, tragedias, incestos, adulterios, rebeldías, descubrimientos y condenas, representaba al mismo tiempo el mito y la historia, la tragedia y el amor del mundo entero.

Crime and Punishmentby Fyodor DostoyevskyISBN 3829009046 (3-8290-0904-6)
Hardcover, Konemann
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Crime and Punishment'Book summary:The talented Alex Jennings creates an atmosphere of gripping psychological tension and brings a variety of characters to life in this new audio edition of a crime classic. When the student Raskolnikov puts his philosophical theory to the ultimate test of murder, a tragic tale of suffering and redemption unfolds in the dismal setting of the slums of czarist, prerevolutionary St. Petersburg. While Jennings's adept repertoire of British accents works to demonstrate the varying classes of characters, it occasionally distracts the listener from the Russian setting. However, Dostoyevsky's rendering of 18th-century Russia emerges unscathed, bringing the dark pathos (such as wretched poverty and rampant suffering) to life.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Crimen Y Castigo / Crime and Punishment'Book summary:Una visita de Balzac a San Petersburgo le sugirio al joven alferez ingeniero Fiodor Dostoievski la idea de traducir «Eugenie Grandet». La traduccion hizo mucho mas que sacarle de un apuro economico; desperto su fiebre creativa y su vocacion. Entonces, decidio solicitar la excedencia y dedicarse a la literatura.Obra realmente genial, «Crimen y castigo» es una de las mas grandes creaciones de la literatura mundial. Todo el dolor humano palpita y nos contempla desde los estremecedores cuadros de miseria, de vejacion personal, de soledad y de asfixia moral propios de una gran ciudad. Contradiciendo su propia teoria de que no existen motivos sociales para justificar el crimen, se diria que Dostoievski ha puesto en esta novela todo su afan de acumular y sacar a la luz precisamente las circunstancias sociales que, a cada paso, empujan a la persona a llegar al crimen, aunque sea para afirmar su yo y probarse a si mismo que es un hombre.

He quickly came to represent the quirky voice of a new generation of Japanese writers. Now Haruki Murakami gives us his wittiest, boldest, most daring work to date. Dance dance dance continues the extraordinary adventure of an ordinary man. At thirty something, Murakami's nameless hero lives in a hi-tech, high-rise world where old virtues die fast and success is all that matters. He has shared in the glittering city's spoils, and while he has not sold his soul, he knows that something is lacking in his life. Now, in dreams, a mysterious woman weeps softly - for him. Yet, even as he tries to understand why, the voice that beckons is not hers. And still he dreams. Bizarre dreams that propel him down byways of his life in search of ... ? His is a strange odyssey: en route, a thirteen-year-old girl, distressingly beautiful and clairvoyant, is his constant companion; a classmate, now oozing charm on TV soaps, grapples with murder; a lady of the night becomes his guardian angel; and an eccentric Sheep Man materializes to counsel and cajole. What's a fellow to do? Dance. You gotta dance as long as the music plays. And dance is what our hero does ... in the most unexpected ways! [via]

Book Description:
Imagine becoming a bestselling novelist, and almost immediately famous and wealthy, while still in college, and before long seeing your insufferable father reduced to a bag of ashes in a safety-deposit box, while after American Psycho your celebrity drowns in a sea of vilification, booze, and drugs.Then imagine having a second chance ten years later, as the Bret Easton Ellis of this remarkable novel is given, with a wife, children, and suburban sobriety--only to watch this new life shatter beyond recognition in a matter of days. At a fateful Halloween party he glimpses a disturbing (fictional) character driving a car identical to his late father's, his stepdaughter's doll violently "malfunctions," and their house undergoes bizarre transformations both within and without. Connecting these aberrations to graver events--a series of grotesque murders that no longer seem random and the epidemic disappearance of boys his sons age--Ellis struggles to defend his family against this escalating menace even as his wife, their therapists, and the police insist that his apprehensions are rooted instead in substance abuse and egomania.
Lunar Park confounds one expectation after another, passing through comedy and mounting horror, both psychological and supernatural, toward an astonishing resolution--about love and loss, fathers and sons--in what is surely the most powerfully original and deeply moving novel of an extraordinary career.
A Tale of Two Brets: An Amazon.com Interview with Bret Easton Ellis
In his novel Lunar Park, Bret Easton Ellis takes first-person narrative to an extreme, inserting himself (and a host of real characters from the publishing world) into the haunting story of a drugged-out famous writer living in the suburbs trying to reconnect with his wife and son and reconcile his damaged past. Ellis is at the top of his game in Lunar Park, his first novel since 1999's Glamorama, delivering a disturbing and delirious novel about celebrity, writers, and fathers and sons (not to mention a cameo from notorious Ellis creation, Patrick Bateman). Amazon.com senior editor Brad Thomas Parsons spoke with Ellis in a Seattle to Los Angeles phone call to talk about the fact and fiction behind Lunar Park, New York versus LA, '80s music, and the whole "American Psycho thing."
Read the Amazon.com interview with Bret Easton EllisLess Than Zero (1985)
Published when Ellis was a junior at Bennington, Less Than Zero is the mesmerizing first-person chronicle of Clay, our laconic, zoned-out guide to a subculture of over-privileged nihilism in early '80s Los Angeles. He travels back home from Camden College (a thinly veiled Bennington) for Christmas break and re-enters his circle of jaded friends--including his ex-girlfriend Blair, and his best friend Julian, who's now hustling to support his drug habit--and a parade of Porches, late-night parties, cocaine, and casual destruction.Ellis on Ellis: "I don't think it's a perfect book by any means, but it's valid. I get where it comes from. I get what it is. There's a lot of it that I wish was slightly more elegantly written. Overall, I was pretty shocked. It was pretty good writing for someone who was 19."
The Rules of Attraction (1987)
A line-up of Camden College students share the narrating duties in The Rules of Attraction, Ellis' sex-fueled, drug-baked second novel. There's Lauren (who's in the midst of losing her virginity as the book opens), who longs for her boyfriend Victor, currently traveling through Europe; Lauren's ex, Paul, a bisexual party boy who hooks up with hard-drinking closet-case Sean (surname Bateman--that's right, younger brother of Patrick), who also has the hots for Lauren. Less than Zero's Clay makes a cameo appearance as well as a passing glimpse of Ellis' Bennington classmate Donna Tartt's murderous Classics majors from The Secret History. Ellis on Ellis: "It might be my favorite book of mine. I was writing that book while I was at college. Sort of like the best of times, the worst of times. There was a lot of elation, there was a lot of despair. It was just a really fun book to write. I loved mimicking all the different voices. The stream of conscious does get a little out of hand. I kind of like that about the book. It's kind of all over the place. It's casual. It's scruffy. That's the one book of mine that I have a very, very soft spot for."
American Psycho (1991)
Shopaholic sociopath Patrick Bateman's killer grip drags readers into a bloody, brand-name, urban nightmare as the 26-year-old Wall Street yuppie executes his grooming habits and eviscerates strangers with equal élan. Simon & Schuster dropped the too-hot-to-handle American Psycho which was then published as a paperback original by Vintage Books. Ellis received death threats while the book was boycotted, sliced up by reviewers, and went on to become a bestseller. Mary Harron's 2000 film version starred then little-known British actor Christian Bale, who would later suit up as the Dark Knight in 2005's Batman Begins. Ellis on Ellis: "It was good. It was fun. It was not nearly as pretentious as I remember I wanted it to be when I was writing it. I found it really fast-moving. I found it really funny. And I liked it a lot. The violence was... it made my toes curl. I really freaked out. I couldn't believe how violent it was. It was truly upsetting. I had to steel myself to re-read those passages."
The Informers (1994)
Ellis returns to early '80s Los Angeles ennui with The Informers, a loosely connected collection of stories of the bored, rich, and morally depraved, written around the same time as Less than Zero. Sex, drugs, and gratuitous violence take center stage, with characters including an aging, predatory anchorwoman, a debauched rock star tearing through Japan, and a pick-up artist vampire. While some of the vignettes echo better Ellis works, ultimately the stories don't add to much as a whole. Book critics are less than receptive to Ellis' post-American Psycho offering. Ellis on Ellis: "Those were written while I was at Bennington. I wrote a lot of short stories between 1981 or 1982 or so... The Informers more or less kind of represented probably the best of those stories. I wrote a lot of really bad ones, but those are the ones that worked the best together."
Glamorama (1999)
Actor-model Victor Ward (who first made an appearance in the Ellis oeuvre in The Rules of Attraction) is the narrator of Glamorama, Ellis longest novel yet. Ellis offers bold-faced names and celebrity skewering in the first half of the book as Victor tries to open a Manhattan club while cheating on his supermodel girlfriend and double-crossing his partner, but the second half takes a violent, paranoid turn as Victor is sent to England and unwittingly lured into a sadistic ring of international terrorists (posing as supermodels) leaving a bloody trail across the globe. Ellis on Ellis: "[T]he book wasn't necessarily about terrorism to me. It was about a whole bunch of other stuff. It's definitely the book that I can tell--I don't know if other people can tell but I can tell as a writer--is probably the most divisive that I've written. It has an equal number of detractors as it does fans. It doesn't really hold true with the other books. It was the one that took the longest to write, and the one that seemed the most important at the time. It's an unwieldy book... I like it."

Este extenso poema épico ofrece una espléndida muestra mitográfica arropada por un coherente marco filosófico. Doscientas cincuenta historias, mitos y leyendas que abarcan desde el nacimiento de la humanidad y la creación del mundo, en la era de los cataclismos, hasta la muerte y apoteosis de César. La metamorfosis describe lo maravilloso, lo prodigioso, las más increíbles transformaciones, en un estilo rápido y elegante. Se considera uno de los trabajos sobre mitología más populares, una joya de la literatura romana, llegando a ser la obra más conocida por los escritores medievales y por lo tanto teniendo una gran influencia en la poesía medieval. Publio Ovidio Nasón (43 a. C. 17 d. C.), fue un poeta romano muy conocido en su época, y que su talento influyó el mundo artístico europeo por cientos de años. Era caballero de rancia estirpe, de cuya antigüedad se sentía orgulloso. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Of Grammatology'Book summary:The author is one of the most acclaimed thinker, and expounder of philosophic process of thought of our time. Influence enough to have affected the entire French critical scene, Jacques Derrida has been hailed as the most important philosopher in France today. His ideas of reading and writing, his notion of de-construction, his reinterpretations of phenomenology, of psychoanalysis, and of strucuralism have profoundly influenced the vanguard of European and American criticism and have occasioned lively controversy. Derrida`s philosophical background baffles some literary critics. This role of exposing the common assumption shared by combatants in a controversy raises Derrida`s importance above merely the French scene. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Cien Anos De Soledad/100 Years of Solitude'Book summary:Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo .
Con estas palabras empieza una novela ya legendaria en los anales de la literatura universal, una de las aventuras literarias más fascinantes del siglo xx. Millones de ejemplares de Cien años de soledad leídos en todas las lenguas y el Premio Nobel de Literatura coronando una obra que se había abierto paso a boca a boca como gusta decir el escritor son la más palpable demostración de que la aventura fabulosa de la familia Buendía-Iguarán, con sus milagros, fantasías, obsesiones, tragedias, incestos, adulterios, rebeldías, descubrimientos y condenas, representaba al mismo tiempo el mito y la historia, la tragedia y el amor del mundo entero.

› Find signed collectible books: 'El Coronel No Tiene Quien Le Escriba / No One Writes to the Colonel'Book summary:Gabriel Garcia Marquez has been described as the greatest writer in Spanish since Cervantes, and El coronel no tiene quien le escriba is considered to be one of his best works. This reflective and atmospheric novel is set in a small Colombian town where the frustrated and stubborn Colonel, a veteran of the 'War of a Thousand Days', is still, after thirty years, waiting for the letter authorising payment of his war pension. The old soldier and his wife mourn the brutal killing of their only son, and the story of their struggle against poverty and sickness culminates in the Colonel's defiant refusal to part with his cherished fighting cock, however serious the consequences. The moving narrative pays tribute to the resilience of human nature and man's will to survive in the face of heavy odds. The novel also throws light on the turbulent religious and political troubles in Latin America. Now revised to include an updated chronology and bibliography, Giovanni Pontiero's acclaimed critical edition provides English-speaking students with an introduction to, and notes on the text, and a selected vocabulary.

It begins as a "will-o'-the-wisp" goes to ask the Childlike Empress for help against the Nothing, which is spreading all over. The Empress is ill, which may be the cause of the Nothing.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Requiem Por UN Campesino Espanol'Book summary:"Requiem per un campesino espanol" was first published under the title Mosen Millan in Coleccion Aquelarre,Mexico, 1953. The present text follows the first Spanish edition published by Destino, Barcelona, 1974, which bears a few minor variants, mainly in paragraph structure. It has been reprinted a number of times and translated into many languages and is one of the most widely read Spanish texts in the 20th century. This edition is aimed primarily at sixth-formers and university undergraduates and the introduction and notes have been compiled in the light of recent socio-politial topic-based syllabuses and communication studies courses. The inclusion in the introduction of a substantial section on the now out-of-print "Contraataque" (1937), the wartime narrative which contains the germ of the post-war novel, is intended to provide the student with a context for the study of the process in Sender's writing inspired by the Civil War - from explicit militant propaganda penned in the heat of battle to implicit poetic parable, historical emotion recollected in the comparative tranquillity and distance of exile. It is hoped that such a juxtaposition will illuminate both the content and literary achievement of "Requiem". [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Las Uvas De La Ira/ the Grapes of Wrath'Book summary:[via]Las uvas de la ira es un hito en la literatura norteamericana que explora el conflicto entre ricos y pobres, analiza la reacción feroz de un hombre contra la injusticia y el estoicismo de una mujer igualmente heróica, y refleja los horrores de la Gran Depresión. Aunque sigue la migración de miles personas del Dust Bowl, Las uvas de la ira se enfoca en la historia de una familia de Oklahoma, los Joads, echados de su hogar y forzados a viajar rumbo a esa Tierra Prometida que era por ese entoncesy que de algun modo sigue siendoCalifornia. De sus desventurasen un país dividido surge un drama sobre la dignidad humana, a un tiempo trágico y majestuoso en su grandeza su valentía moral.
Publicada por primera vez en 1939, la novela reflejó su época como Uncle Tom's Cabin reflejó los años antes de la Guerra Civil norteamericana. John Steinbeck, un escritor que simpatizaba con la crítica fascista y comunista, insistió en que la versión integral del "Himno de batalla de la República" fuese impresa en la primera edición del libro, que adopta en su título unas palabras del primer verso: "Está pisoteando la vendimia donde se conservan las uvas de la ira." La crónica de Steinbeck sobre el avergonzante maltrato de las clases sociales de los años treinta es tal vez el más "americano" de todos los clásicos norteamericanos.

Softcover, Distribooks Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Anne FrankTagebuch'Book summary:Dieses lebendige, Einblick gewährende Tagebuch ist seit seiner ersten Veröffentlichung 1947 ein geliebter Klassiker und ein passendes Denkmal für den begabten jüdischen Teenager, der 1945 im Konzentrationslager Bergen-Belsen ums Leben kam. 1929 geboren, bekam Anne Frank zu ihrem 13. Geburtstag ein neues, unbeschriebenes Tagebuch geschenkt, nur wenige Wochen bevor sie und ihre Familie im von den Nazis besetzten Amsterdam untertauchen mußten. Ihre wunderbar detaillierten persönlichen Eintragungen zeichnen 25 anstrengende Monate klaustrophobischer, streitgeladener Intimität mit ihren Eltern, ihrer Schwester, einer zweiten Familie und einem älteren Zahnarzt nach, der wenig Toleranz für Annes Lebhaftigkeit zeigt. Der universelle Reiz des Tagebuchs beruht auf seiner fesselnden Mischung aus den schmuddeligen Besonderheiten des Lebens im Krieg (karge, schlechte Mahlzeiten; schäbige Kleider, aus denen man längst herausgewachsen ist, die aber nicht ersetzt werden können; die ständige Angst, entdeckt zu werden) und der offenherzigen Auseinandersetzung über Gefühle, die jedem Heranwachsenden bekannt sind: "Jeder kritisiert mich, niemand erkennt meine wahre Natur, wann werde ich endlich geliebt?" Aber Anne Frank war kein gewöhnlicher Teenager: Die späteren Eintragungen verraten einen für eine kaum 15jährige bemerkenswerten Sinn für Mitgefühl und spirituelle Tiefe. Ihr Tod verkörpert den Wahnsinn des Holocaust, aber für die Millionen, die Anne durch ihr Tagebuch kennengelernt haben, ist er auch ein sehr persönlicher Verlust. --Wendy Smith [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Harry Potter: 4 und der Feuerkelch'Book summary:Auch der vierte Harry Potter-Band wurde von den Fans sehnsüchtig erwartet, als er am 14. Oktober 2000 auf Deutsch erschien (am 08. Juli 2000 in der englischen Originalausgabe). 800 Seiten voller Abenteuer: u. a. werden die Fragen nach dem Gewinner des Quidditch-Worldcups beantwortet, außerdem in wen Harry sich verliebt und wer derjenige von den altvertrauten Figuren ist, der das Ende von Band 4 nicht überleben wird.
Die Weltmeisterschaft im Quidditch ist nicht nur ein sportlicher Höhepunkt, sondern auch eine organisatorische Meisterleistung (wie geben Tausende von Zauberern und Zauberinnen sich den Anschein, eine ganz harmlose Versammlung von Muggels zu sein?). Und der im Titel erwähnte Feuerkelch spielt eine nicht unbedeutende Rolle dabei, dass die Zauberschule Hogwarts im Wettbewerb mit zwei anderen Schulen einen gewissen Vorteil erhält. Sie haben richtig gelesen: Zwar haben wir uns bisher kein einziges Mal gefragt, ob es noch andere Zauberschulen außer Hogwarts gibt -- mit seinem weiten Gelände, das sich zwischen den Gewächshäusern der Botanik-Lehrerin Prof. Sprout, dem See und Hagrids Hütte mit seinem Zoo an absonderlichen magischen Kreaturen erstreckt, schien es uns wie ein kleines perfektes Universum. Aber so wie Joanne K. Rowling die Schüler aus dem noblen Beauxbatons und dem abgelegenen Durmstrang beschreibt, die in Hogwarts zu Gast sind, muss man ihr einfach glauben, dass es die reine Wahrheit und irgendwie schon immer so gewesen ist, so wie wir ihr auch jede Menge Poltergeister, Hauselfen, Einhörner, Zentauren und sonstige magische Wesen glauben.
Lord Voldemort, auch bekannt als Tom Riddle, auch bekannt als das Böse in Person (wenngleich seit einigen Jahren ohne einen eigenen Körper und quasi nur als eiskalter geistiger Hauch vorhanden) hat längst nicht aufgegeben, Harry nach dem Leben zu trachten -- und langsam, ganz langsam gelingt es ihm auch mithilfe des ihm ergebenen Wormtail, neue Kräfte zu sammeln. --Heike Reher

Die Ilias (altgriechisch 8»¹¬Â Iliás, vermutlich Troerin ), eines der ältesten schriftlich fixierten Werke Europas, schildert einen Abschnitt des troianischen Krieges. Das Epos umfasst 24 Bücher bzw. Gesänge, wie diese Abschnitte seit der Übersetzung durch Johann Heinrich Voß bezeichnet werden. Die Ilias beruht auf frühgeschichtlichen Mythen und Erzählungen und wird Homer zugeschrieben (zur Verfasserschaft, auch hinsichtlich der Odyssee, siehe Homerische Frage). Die Ilias-Darstellung der Olympischen Götter dürfte erheblich zur Entwicklung einer nationalen griechischen Religion beigetragen haben und prägt bis in die Gegenwart die europäische Kunst- und Geisteswissenschaft.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Der Steppenwolf'Book summary:Nur für Verrückte?
Als Der Steppenwolf vor siebzig Jahren erschien, wurde er von vielen angegriffen, von anderen begeistert aufgenommen. Vierzig Jahre später, in den bewegten sechziger Jahren, wurde er zum Kultbuch einer Generation. Und auch heute, auf der Schwelle zum neuen Jahrtausend, begeistert er junge Leser, die in Harry Haller den Seelenverwandten erkennen.Harry Haller, der Steppenwolf, leidet an seiner Zerissenheit, empfindet halb als Mensch, halb als Wolf. Er sehnt sich nach Zugehörigkeit, nach Harmonie und Liebe, will aber auch unabhängig und frei sein und verabscheut alles Normale. Dieser Zwiespalt führt ihn immer tiefer in eine existenzielle Krise, in der er Selbstmord als einzigen Ausweg sieht. Doch Hermine, eine Prostituierte, und das Magische Theater helfen ihm, sich selbst zu erkennen und das Leben leichter zu nehmen.
Der Steppenwolf ist so vielschichtig, daß man immer wieder neue Aspekte entdecken kann. Als ich ihn vor zwanzig Jahren kennenlernte, stand für mich die Einsamkeit und die Ablehnung der verlogenen Bürgerlichkeit im Vordergrund. Das Lebensgefühl des Unverstandenen, der seine Ideale lebt, war mir vertraut. Dem seichten Alltag die extremen Gefühle vorzuziehen, schien auch mir erstrebenswert. Nicht lauwarm, sondern heiß und kalt. Damit spricht Hesse noch immer die Jugend an.
Heute lese und verstehe ich ihn anders. Der Mensch, der sich das Leben so schwer macht, tut mir leid, weil er nicht merkt, daß er ebenso borniert ist wie die, von denen er sich unterscheiden will. Er nimmt sich selbst zu ernst, rennt Idealen von Schönheit und Menschlichkeit hinterher und verachtet dabei die Menschen. Erst im Magischen Theater werden ihm die Augen geöffnet.
Der Steppenwolf ist in Hesses Leben und Werk ein Wendepunkt. Eine langjährige Krise kommt zum Höhepunkt und wird überwunden -- durch das Lachen über sich selbst. Für mich ist an diesem Roman faszinierend, daß er "mitwächst" und mir auch nach zwanzig Jahren noch etwas zu sagen hat. Der Steppenwolf ist siebzig Jahre alt und noch immer jung. --Roswitha Schmaltz [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Die Zwei Turme II'Book summary:Der Bund ist zerbrochen, Gandalf verloren. Frodo und Sam sind fort, nur Merry und Pippin bleiben mit Boromir zurück. Da werden sie von einem Orkheer überfallen. Boromir verteidigt die Freunde bis zu seinem eigenen Tod, doch die Hobbits werden gefangengenommen. Aragorn, Legolas und Gimli nehmen ihre Spur auf. Merry und Pippin gelingt die Flucht, und sie kommen in einen geheimnisvollen Wald, wo sie Baumbart treffen, einen uralten, baumähnlichen Riesen vom Geschlecht der Ents. Er erkennt die Gefahr, die Mittelerde droht, und sammelt sein Volk, um Saruman anzugreifen. Aragorn, Legolas und Gimli treffen überraschend auf Gandalf, der nicht tot ist, aber verändert. Sie begeben sich an den Hof von Rohan, einem pferdeliebenden Volk, entlarven Schlangenzunge, Sarumans Spion, der König Thoden in seiner Gewalt hatte. Vor Helms Klamm schlagen sie eine unvergessliche Schlacht Gimli und Legolas wetteifern, wer die meisten Orks tötet Gimli gewinnt. Sie erreichen Sarumans Festung Isengard, entdecken, daß sie bereits von den Ents zerstört worden ist, und finden Merry und Pippin, beide unversehrt. Sie befreien Saruman, nachdem sie seinen Zauberstab zerbrochen haben. Zur gleichen Zeit nähern sich Frodo und Sam Mordor. Gollum, angezogen von dem Ring, folgt ihnen. Sie fangen ihn ein und machen ihn zu ihrem Führer. Gollum bringt sie zu den geheimen Stufen, dem Zugang zum Land Mordor. Dieser finstere Ort wird von Kankra bewacht, einer Riesenspinne, die Frodo mit ihrem Stachel vergiftet. Sam beschließt schweren Herzens, den Ring zu nehmen und die Quest alleine zu beenden. Doch da belauscht er ein Gespräch der Orks und erfährt, daß Frodo nicht tot ist, sondern nur bewußtlos. [via]
