Los periódicos de las dos de la tarde comunicaron un detalle sensacional: en la fatal habitación habían encontrado una horquilla de carey con cinco gruesos brillantes. Además, en el polvoriento piso se habían descubierto huellas de zapatos de mujer. La horquilla de diamantes hizo que París se estremeciera. el asesino era una mujer chic. ¿Sería una aristócrata, una burguesa o una cocote depostín? Enigma, enigma…
Im Norden der Steiermark liegt die Helianau, eine Internatsschule für Kinder, die an einer rätselhaften Störung leiden, dem Indigo-Syndrom. Jeden, der ihnen zu nahe kommt, befallen Übelkeit, Schwindel und heftige Kopfschmerzen. Der junge Mathematiklehrer Clemens Setz unterrichtet an dieser Schule und wird auf seltsame Vorgänge aufmerksam: Immer wieder werden Kinder in eigenartigen Maskierungen in einem Auto mit unbekanntem Ziel davongefahren. Setz beginnt, Nachforschungen anzustellen, doch er kommt nicht weit; er wird aus dem Schuldienst entlassen. Fünfzehn Jahre später berichten die Zeitungen von einem aufsehenerregenden Strafprozess: Ein ehemaliger Mathematiklehrer wird vom Vorwurf freigesprochen, einen Tierquäler brutal ermordet zu haben.
Und jetzt noch einmal von vorne. Vergessen Sie die Zusammenfassung einer Romanhandlung, die sich jeder Zusammenfassung entzieht, und lesen Sie das Buch Indigo von Clemens J. Setz. Sein viertes insgesamt. Sie werden feststellen: Das radikale Gegenprogramm zur hübsch verkasteten Literaturwerkstättenliteratur (Die Welt) geht weiter. Rasend spannend und so erholsam wie eine gute Massage. Hinterher spüren Sie jeden Muskel.
Prentis, the narrator of this nightmarish novel, catalogs "dead crimes" for a branch of the London Police Department and suspects that he is going crazy. His files keep vanishing. His boss subjects him to cryptic taunts. His family despises him. And as Prentis desperately tries to hold on to the scraps of his sanity, he uncovers a conspiracy of blackmail and betrayal that extends from his department and into the buried past of his father, a war hero code-named "Shuttlecock"-and, lately, a resident of a hospital for the insane.

So und ähnlich lauten die Schlagzeilen der Zeitungen, die von der Flugzeugkatastrophe berichten – und keiner der Reporter hat auch nur die leiseste Ahnung, daß Donovans eigentliche Geschichte erst mit seinem Tode beginnt.
Dr. Cory, ein von Forschungsdrang besessener Arzt, raubt dem Sterbenden das Gehirn und erhält es künstlich am Leben.

Ievērojamā angļu rakstnieka Dž. R. R. Tolkīna (1892-1973) pasaulslavenās epopejas pirmā dala lasītājam liek uz neatgriešanos pārcelties pasakainajā Viduszemē, kas tinas mūžsenās teiksmās un leģendas un kur pareģojumi vēl aizvien piepildās.
Putni un zvēri, pūķi un vareni burvji, cilvēki un elfi, orki un troļļi, rūķi un hobiti tiek ierauti liktenīgā karā starp labo un ļauno, un ši cīņa katram jāizcīna ari pašam ar sevi.
Mierpilnajā Dalienā, kur mīt hobiti, uzrodas nieka gredzentiņš. Tomēr tas nav parasts, jo pieder Tumsas pavēlniekam Sauronam. Viņš pēc tā alktin alkst, taču nedrīkst Lielvaras gredzenu atgūt. Hobils Frodo dodas ceļā, lai veiktu bezgala atbildīgu uzdevumu.
Dž. R. R. Tolkina darbu var lasit gan kā krāšņu teiksmu, gan rūpīgi savērptu un sīki izstrādātu pavisam citas pasaules vēsturi. Pals autors noradījis, ka nevajag tajā meklēt līdzības un alegorijas — galvenais ir stāsts. Meistarīgi izstāstīts stāsts, kas turpinās.

The audacious, savagely funny debut of a writer of razor-sharp wit and surprising tenderness: a collection of stories that gives us a fresh take on adolescence, death, sex; on being Jewish-ish; and on finding one’s way as a young woman in the world.
A New Yorker, trying not to be jaded, accompanies a cash-strapped pot grower to a “clothing optional resort” in California. A nerdy high-schooler has her first sexual experience at Geology Camp. A college student, on the night of her father’s funeral, watches a video of her bat mitzvah, hypnotized by the image of the girl she used to be. .
Frank and irreverent, Rebecca Schiff’s stories offer a singular view of growing up (or not) and finding love (or not) in today’s ever-uncertain landscape. In its bone-dry humor, its pithy observations, and its thrilling ability to unmask the most revealing moments of human interaction — no matter how fleeting— announces a new talent to be reckoned with.
Ievērojamā angļu rakstnieka Dž. R. R. Tolkīna (1892-1973) pasaulslavenās epopejas otrajā daļā turpinās bīstamā Lielvaras gredzena neparedzamās gaitas. Ceļā sūtītais pulks ir pašķīries, tomēr Frodo un viņa uzticamais sabiedrotais Pīns apņēmīgi turpina iesākto. Sazarojas ari dēku pilnais vēstījums, Viduszemi uzburdams arvien krāšņāku.
Notikumos iesaistās orki, enti, Rohānas zirgvalži, gondorieši, olifaunti un baigā Šīloba, bet Ģredzenam un tā glabātājam joprojām dzen pēdas arī C/ollums - kādreizējais Dārgumiņa jeb Gredzena glabātājs. Kaut gan šķietami nelaimīgā un pretrunu plosītā radījuma nodomi nav skaidri noprotami, Frodo ir ar mieru, ka C/ollums rāda ceļu uz Mordoru. Kas viņu šajā ceļā sagaida un kas paredzams galā - to neviens no viņiem pat nenojauš.

Pasakainajā Viduszemē, kur vēsture savijas ar teiksmām, kur tiekas cilvēki un elfi, orki un aizlaiku briesmoni, savelkas tumsiba. Briest Gredzena karš, pēc kura nekas vairs nebūs kā bijis. Uzliesmo varenas kaujas. Liktenis, drosme un gribasspēks uz Gondoru ved tās likumīgo ķēniņu - Pēddzini Aragornu. Tikmēr Gredzens, pēc kura tīko Tumsas pavēlnieks, turpina bīstamo ceļu uz viņa paša zemi Mordoru, lai tur tiktu iesviests Orodruina liesmās. Visas teiksmu pasaules liktenis izšķirsies mirklī, kad Gredzena glabātājs, drosmīgais Dalienas hobits Frodo, tomēr izlems Gredzenu neiznīcināt…

It’s the summer of 1988 in northeastern Kansas, an area home to four prisons that has been shaken by the recent escape of a convict. But for two young brothers in Leavenworth, the only thing that matters is the pool in their apartment complex. Their mother forbids the boys to swim alone, but she’s always at work trying to make ends meet after splitting with their police-officer father. With no one home to supervise, the boys decide to break the rules.
While blissfully practicing their cannonballs and dives, they meet Chris, a mysterious stranger who promises an escape from their broken-home blues. As the older brother and Chris grow closer, the wary younger brother desperately tries to keep his best friend from slipping away.
Beautifully atmospheric and psychologically suspenseful, Cote Smith’s will hold you in its grip to the very last page, reminding us that when we’re not paying attention, we often hurt the ones we claim to love the most.
Meet Macon Leary—a travel writer who hates both travel and strangeness. Grounded by loneliness, comfort, and a somewhat odd domestic life, Macon is about to embark on a surprising new adventure, arriving in the form of a fuzzy-haired dog obedience trainer who promises to turn his life around.
