    In the tumultuous backdrop of the 1969 Chicago Haymarket riot, Ron, a spirited seventeen-year-old, finds himself ensnared in the complexities of Cook County jail. As he navigates this new world, he forms an unexpected bond with Pete Fischetti, the prodigious son of a renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist. Their shared experiences and discussions echo the sentiments of a generation yearning for change.Upon his release, courtesy of his father's intervention, Ron's journey takes a detour through a mental institution. Here, amidst the backdrop of societal expectations, he encounters fellow "hippie-freaks" grappling with their identities. As they resist a program designed to mold them into societal norms, Ron's heartstrings are tugged by the enigmatic Marge, a love that remains tantalizingly out of reach.A serendipitous discovery of the graves from the original Haymarket riot offers Ron and Pete a profound connection to the past, bridging generations of revolutionaries. But life outside isn't any simpler. Amidst love affairs thwarted by institutional powers, a chilling encounter with a Satanist lover, and the haunting specter of friends lost to their inner demons, Ron's resilience is tested.With the weight of lost loves and the looming draft, Ron's spirit remains unbroken. His adventures, from selling underground paraphernalia to confronting the harsh realities of a society in flux, paint a vivid portrait of a young man's journey in a transformative era. As he grapples with love, loss, and the pull of revolution, readers aged 40 and older will find themselves transported back to a time of societal upheaval, resonating with the challenges and aspirations of their youth. This is but the beginning of Ron's odyssey, with more tales of revolution to come in subsequent volumes.

    Gene and Toots: A Story of Love...and Recovery, is a poignant and uplifting account of one couple's nearly thirty-year love affair. Two divorced adults with five teenagers between them, Marilea and Gene weren't looking for love. They were content to lay back and enjoy their freedom. But then love found them. At mid-life. When men and women often start dreaming about second chances.Energized by hope, attracted by desire, Gene and Toots is a memoir about the power of love, how two people with plenty of baggage came together and took that second chance they'd not dared hope for. No one was more surprised than Marilea to be so smitten with Gene from the very start.Gene and Toots is the third and last in a series of memoirs, all of them about recovery from substance use disorder. The first two books are unflinchingly honest and raw, leaving little to the imagination. Gene and Toots is a fitting conclusion to Marilea's recovery story, painting a detailed picture of the power of love in seeking one's own redemption and transformation.

    When is a family vacation more than a family vacation? The classic lake cabin, beyond being an iconic vacation genre, becomes a home away from home when the visits are regular, when they are a set piece in the year's calendar, when they bracket generations of a family's trajectory. As much a natural history as a memoir, Lake Effect delves beneath the surface of a rather ordinary lake - a reservoir, really - to examine the region's origins, and its unclear future. Viewed through the lens of classic, family cabin vacations at California's Lake Almanor, the narrative explores the author's fond remembrance of times past at the lake, and his affinity for its natural environment. Beyond being a tale of memory and nostalgia, Lake Effect examines the genesis of the lake and region, focusing on the shock-and-awe geologic force of volcanism, evident at nearby Lassen Peak (the volcano on the horizon, the southern-most of the volcanic Cascade Range), and the natural history, the biota that wraps itself around the geology, at this confluence of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges. Overwhelming this is the inexorable advance of human civilization, economic interest, and resource extraction in the area, including a Chinatown-like subterfuge to grab water rights and build a dam, an effort that just maybe included a little arson. Lake Effect details the fate area's natural resources during the evolution from a lush, Native American-inhabited meadow through timber extraction and dam-building to the proliferation of lake vacation rentals. Overlying this all is the new kid on the block, catastrophic fire exacerbated by climate change, a force that threatens the character of the lake vacation itself, if not the very existence of the lake. How long can the lake be a refuge, a respite from the world? Maybe you can't go home again, or at least back to the lake. On the other hand, life finds a way, and perhaps humans can exhibit an adaptiveness, a resilience, like some of the area's furred and feathered residents.

    Jeg havde fortrængt de fleste af mine oplevelser gennem et langt liv Men nu med ét, stod de lyslevende for mig igen Jeg kunne ikke falde til ro. Den orange ildkugle havde været dér endnu engang og alt det andet besynderlige og mærkelige, jeg havde oplevet og været med til i mit liv, sneg sig frem fra mørket i min hukommelses dyb og brændte sig fast!Stjernestøv i blodet er ikke noget man får!Det er noget, man har!

    If you told me I'd be here today, believing what I do and working for the Lord, I would've told you, you are crazy. This is the story of how I found Jesus or, rather, how He chose me and how because of Him, I overcame obstacles like mental illness and finding truth in Jesus, while showing my journey of before, during, and after finding Him.

    "Mi capita di volare con le rondini ancora lontane, con le farfalle che dormono nei bozzoli, con Pippo che eternamente torna a spronarmi, a spingermi insistentemente con la testa. E nei miei voli da fata, nell'azzurro, tinteggio i tramonti, scambio i colori dei fiori, li mischio, confondo gli odori: ed ecco la menta che sa di rosmarino, la rosa di mughetto... Sperimento il prodigio dell'incantesimo e della creazione, torno bambina, divento energia, suono, divento il miracolo della poesia."Un'amica racconta un'amica. E lo fa in prima persona, come se narrasse la sua vita, tracciando i momenti salienti di un'esistenza difficile, ma vissuta con entusiasmo, all'insegna della bellezza e della poesia.L'amicizia ha dato vita ad un lavoro in cui le identità delle due autrici si fondono diventando un unico sguardo. Le brevi prose poetiche dell'una si alternano alle poesie e alle immagini fotografiche dell'altra, evocando all'unisono, in un costante riferimento ai fatti, emozioni e sentimenti, tragedia e rinascita di una persona che è riuscita a fare della debolezza una forza, della sua differenza un valore.

    Margaret Stonborough, die 1882 geborene Schwester von Ludwig Wittgenstein, emigrierte gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann, dem Amerikaner Jerome Stonborough, und den beiden Söhnen am 14. April 1917 in die Schweiz. Gut ein halbes Jahr später begann sie mit Tagebuchaufzeichnungen, die bis zum Dezember 1919 reichen. In drei umfangreichen Heften hielt sie private Erlebnisse des Alltags und aufschlussreiche Reflexionen über ihre Lektüre namhafter Dichter und Denker betreffend fest. Zudem wird ihr Engagement für die notleidende Bevölkerung Österreichs nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs dokumentiert. Wie schon in den bereits veröffentlichten Aufzeichnungen ihrer Schwester Hermine, sind auch bei Margaret die Einflüsse von Ludwigs Denken unverkennbar. Mit diesen Tagebüchern wird ein weiteres, bisher unzugängliches Dokument der Wittgenstein'schen Familiengeschichte vorgelegt.

    Der dramatische Briefwechsel, vonseiten der Bachmann- wie der Frisch-Forschung kenntnisreich kommentiert, zeichnet ein neues, überraschendes Bild der Beziehung und stellt tradierte Bewertungen und Schuldzuweisungen in Frage. >Coverstar< des Spiegel - bringt gerade ihr Hörspiel Der gute Gott von Manhattan auf Sendung. Max Frisch - erfolgreicher Romancier und Dramatiker, der noch im selben Jahr den Büchner-Preis erhält - ist in dieser Zeit mit Inszenierungen von Biedermann und die Brandstifter beschäftigt. Er schreibt der »jungen Dichterin«, wie begeistert er von ihrem Hörspiel ist. Mit Bachmanns Antwort im Juni 1958 beginnt ein Briefwechsel, der - vom Kennenlernen bis lange nach der Trennung - in rund 300 überlieferten Schriftstücken Zeugnis ablegt vom Leben, Lieben und Leiden eines der bekanntesten Paare der deutschsprachigen Literatur. Nähe und Distanz, Bewunderung und Rivalität, Eifersucht, Fluchtimpulse und Verlustangst, aber auch die Schwierigkeiten des Arbeitens in einer gemeinsamen Wohnung und die Spannung zwischen Schriftstellerexistenz und Zweisamkeit - die Themen der autobiografischen Zeugnisse sind zeitlos. In den Büchern von Bachmann und Frisch hinterließ diese Liebe Spuren, die zum Teil erst durch die Korrespondenz erhellt werden können. Die Briefe zeigen die enge Verknüpfung von Leben und Werk, sie sind intime Mitteilungen und zugleich Weltliteratur. »Sie waren das berühmteste Paar der deutschsprachigen Literatur. Jetzt endlich, viele Jahre nach ihrem Tod, erscheinen die Briefe zwischen Ingeborg Bachmann und Max Frisch. Sie sind eine Sensation.« Iris Radisch, DIE ZEIT

    Vom Mut, es anders zu machenWas macht mich glücklich, wie möchte ich leben und wofür meine Zeit nutzen? Die Antworten, die Yvonne Eisenring auf diese Fragen findet, führen zu einem ganz anderen Lebensentwurf als dem, den die Gesellschaft für eine junge Frau vorsieht. So macht sie etwa neue Orte zu ihrem Zuhause, widersetzt sich der traditionellen Arbeitsweise und prüft immer wieder, ob der Weg, den sie eingeschlagen hat, noch der richtige für sie ist. Yvonne Eisenring erzählt, wie herausfordernd, aber vor allem wie spannend es sein kann, neu zu beginnen. Sie nimmt uns mit nach Paris, Berlin, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, New York und Zürich und lässt uns teilhaben an ihren Abenteuern und Erlebnissen in der Ferne.Ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer für das Rebellieren gegen gesellschaftliche Normen und eine inspirierende Geschichte über die Suche nach dem passenden Leben.

    Liebe ist so viel mehr'Wie kommen wir eigentlich darauf, eine Emotion wie Liebe in eine Norm pressen zu wollen - wohlgemerkt eine, in die ganz zufälligerweise knapp acht Milliarden Menschen passen? Warum betrachten wir ausgerechnet die Liebe nicht als emotionales Spektrum, so wie wir es bei anderen Gefühlen auch tun? Es ist an der Zeit, Antworten zu finden - oder besser: mit Mythen zu brechen, der Verlustangst und Eifersucht Raum zu geben, zu hinterfragen, was als normal gilt, geheime Bedürfnisse und Wünsche zu entfesseln und die Facetten der verschiedenen Liebesformen im rauschenden, nicht immer ruhigen Fluss des Lebens neu zu entdecken.'Entlang der eigenen Geschichte geht Saskia Michalski auf die unzähligen Formen der (Selbst-)Liebe ein und macht klar: Es gibt nicht den einen richtigen Weg, sich selbst und andere zu lieben. Bist du bereit, dein eigenes Skript der Liebe zu schreiben?
