In occasione di un viaggio a Barcellona, la protagonista decide di ritrovare Pippo, amico d'infanzia dei suoi genitori, con i quali ha condiviso le gioiose giornate nel paesello di cui sono originari. L'incontro, apparentemente fortuito, è forse invece segnato dal destino: Pippo ha una storia da raccontare, e sarà proprio la protagonista la sua prima lettrice, è a lei che affiderà i suoi ricordi più dolorosi, quelli della campagna in Russia della seconda guerra mondiale. Sono memorie di sofferenza, di uomini abbandonati a loro stessi, stremati dal freddo e dalla fame, dimenticati da chi li aveva obbligati a partire; ma sono anche memorie di grande coraggio e speranza, di solidarietà e amicizia.

"My name is Elsa. I have the same first name as another Elsa - my ancestor on my father's side, who was born in West Africa in 1685. It has been 300 years since my first name traveled through the generations, and I inherited it."Colored is an intense novel about a deep family bond that spans centuries and continents. The story is rooted in the fertile lands of the French colony Guadeloupe where, in the early 18th century, a young woman named Elsa is taken to work in a plantation as a slave, after being torn from her homeland. The crystal blue waters of the beautiful island and the healing powers of its plants won't cure the deep wound caused by this trauma. This "generational wound" will create an indissoluble connection with one of her descendants, of the same name, living in France in the 21st century. The novel combines historical accuracy and great human depth to relate the story of two women bound by the same blood, the same name and, perhaps, the same destiny. Pierre Sainte-Luce is a doctor and entrepreneur who believes in a world where cultural diversity flourishes. Colored is his first novel.

Mit seinem Freund Icke und noch ein paar anderen Ferienarbeitern erfährt er viele interessante Dinge über die Arbeit an der Trasse, aber auch über die Russen und die Tataren, die dort in meist sehr einfachen Verhältnissen leben. Die Gruppe lernt Anna und noch einige andere Tatarinnen und Tataren kennen, ein Volk, das unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnte, mit tiefen geschichtlichen Wurzeln, die der Autor in diesen sechs intensiven Wochen versucht, zu verstehen und zu ergründen.Aus den wenigen Stunden unserer Gemeinsamkeit entwickelte sicheine Liebe, die für ewig geschaff en war.Anna war es, die mir die Augen öff nete, und mich in ihr Landentführte, mir ihr Leben und noch viel mehr von der orientalischenWelt zeigte. Eine Welt, die man nie richtig verstehen wird.

Jeder Mensch hat - immer wieder einmal - einen ganz normalen Alltag, währenddessen man, nun ja - leider, auch eine Menge ganz alltäglicher, scheinbar nebensächlicher Dinge erlebt. Aber nun: Mit einem besonderen Blick, mit dem Willen zum Lustigen, mit dem Flügelschlag der Phantasie, mit der Freude am Spiel mit Worten, wird, mit einem Mal, aus alle dem Nebensächlichen etwas Hauptsächliches, ein kleines Gedichtchen, das man selbst lesen, anderen vorlesen oder sogar drucken lassen kann. Es wäre der schönste Erfolg dieses Büchleins, wenn es, nicht etwa nur Käufer, nein, vor allem Nachahmerinnen und Nachahmer fände.

Ob es Benjamin ist, der nach einer schwierigen Kindheit schließlich Franziskanerpater wird und so seine Bestimmung findet oder Jakub Kadlec, der Musikstudent, der das Geheimnis seiner Geige aus dem Hochschwarzwald herausfindet, ehemals in Rachel Heines Besitz, oder auch die bewegende Geschichte der jungen Ludmilla L'Etienne in Form ihres ursprünglichen Tagebuchs - Gerd L'Etienne versteht es, in seinen Kurzgeschichten dem Leser das Wesentliche, auf das es ankommt im Leben, vor Augen zu führen. Er möchte durch das Tagebuch seiner Mutter und Erzählungen aus Deutschland, Tschechien, Spanien, Russland und der Ukraine aus verschiedenen Epochen zeigen, dass jeder Mensch an seinen Herausforderungen wachsen kann. Immer schon sind Mitgefühl, Standhaftigkeit, Integrität und Aufrichtigkeit wesentliche und sehr wichtige Eigenschaften, die erfüllend sind, ein Leben lebenswert machen. Und auch ein bisschen Gottvertrauen und das Überprüfen der eigenen Denkmuster kann oft von großem Nutzen sein - auch und vor allem in der heutigen Zeit. Nur so kann jeder den großen und kleinen Lebensaufgaben begegnen und fühlt sich "NICHT ALLEIN IN DIESER ZEIT".Dazu lädt uns Gerd L'Etienne mit dem zweiten Band seiner aussagekräftigen und berührenden Kurzgeschichten ein.

Coming to grips with the plot of this play is one of the challenges that you will be facing when watching it because nobody is who you think they are. Just like in real life when browsing on the web, it can be "just an illusion"! It is easy to say that Jim, Sally, and Greg take us along the winding road of a Cornelian drama, but the discoveries that you will endeavour to make will come from the absurdity and antics spoken and acted by the protagonists delving in irony. The absurd is central to the theme of this narrative and builds the magic of the play, shell shocked with verbal and active interactivity torpedoed at the spectators. The pedagogical aspect of this play is no mystery to anybody discovering this unique experience of an out-of-the-ordinary story leading us to laugh at our own life experiences.No F'in(g) Murder is part of a collection called The Virtual Dreaming ConneXtion, available also in French.

Serageldin Fayed guides us through the many relevant topics of Islamic culture and gives clear and concise explanations to long unanswered questions by offering us a little gem that will shed new light on Islam.In an effort to help non-Muslims to understand the problems of modern Islamic society, he destroys many of the foundations that Muslims today regard as axioms, and he is repairing what scholars have made of the original Islam in the past. He pokes the open wounds of the invented Islam and questions all the layers that have been put over the original worship, century after century.He examines the customs, traditions and changes that have altered the authentic principles of Islamic culture that have spread into Western society and have distort our understanding.The complex system that 'invented' Islam has produced, is inevitably a part of German and Western society but where do the problems in today's invented Islam come from? And what would be the solutions? Are we really striving for genuine integration and a civilised world without blood, hatred and violence? Serageldin Fayed revolutionises our understanding of Islam in a fluid, brilliant essay that brings us closer to one of the religious pillars of humanity. Serageldin Fayed is an Egyptian writer, born in Mit Ghamr in Dakahlia province on 21 May 1985 and an integration course instructor by profession. He has studied German language and literature at Al Azhar University in Cairo and attended various training courses and courses such as travel guidance in German at the Goethe Institute Cairo. In 2013 he moved to Germany and, in addition to his work as a teacher, he wrote several articles for the Landshuter Zeitung.

He currently teaches German as a second language in Haus International Landshut and, as an imam, helps people in word and deed.

A Father's Daughter is both a journey through grief and the healing of the soul. By adopting an intimate and familiar style of writing, the author uncovers the painful reality behind the loss of a loved one. Nothing could have prepared her for the sudden loss of her father due to the Covid-19 pandemic. By sharing her experience as well as her childhood memories, the author takes the reader by the hand and shows how grief is often followed by regret and anger, especially when facing the loss of someone we consider special and irreplaceable. Nevertheless, recovering is possible although equally painful. It requires a high price to pay and afterwards, as the author suggests, it usually drives you to ask yourself more questions in the attempt to prepare the ones who will, in the future, find themselves in the same situation.

"The Quiet Things is a series of reflections on love, life, and everything in between. It comes from inside during some of my darkest moments where all I could do was write openly, freely and truthfully. Within these stories are sadness, darkness, love and hope. It is a collection of moments spread over time. It is a little bit of the dark mixed with the light."-The Author Matthew Doerner was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. He studied his early years as a chef and, just like his love for cooking, he also fell in love with words and writing. In the early days of high school, he was introduced to Shakespeare's Macbeth and Hamlet, that opened the idea of what writing could be. From Shakespeare to the worlds of Ginsberg and Bukowski is where the love of writing poetry truly bloomed.Writing became part escape and part therapy, a way to deal with emotions that couldn't be verbalized. It was the solitude within the words that he now shares with others. Poetry can truly save the soul, heal the wounds, and make the world seem bright again.
