� is is the story of three young people wondering how you go about getting a few things sorted – starting with life itself. Johanna, Boris and Ana-Clara are checking out life and love – as well as dabbling with death.
Sincere, laid-back and yet full of yearning: a story about the loss of innocence and the many � rst times in life – love and sex, manipulation and the experience of death.
Imagine receiving a letter that questions everything you previously held to be true. � is is precisely the predicament Marie, a woman in her early 30s, � nds herself in as she reads the missive an old school friend has sent her. � e letter describes Marie’s happy life in Paris with Victor, a successful gallery owner. In actual fact Marie lives in Hamburg and is in a relationshsip with Johanna. What’s this all about?
A search for identity, love and truth - inescapably exciting and irresistibly soulful.
Jan SchomburgLight and Sound
A� er seven decades of peace, freedom and increasing prosperity, Germany is the most successful country in the world in geopolitical terms. In the wake of its moral suicide in World War Two, Germany has consistently taken a subor-dinate role and done its utmost to avoid the onside position with the allies. But many of the pillars on which the country’s post-war success story is based are in danger of collapse, forcing the Federal Republic to assume a more active role in the political as well as the military sphere.
Urgent questions are considered and discussed in a composed and unruf-� ed manner, without shying away from breaking taboos.

It’s autumn 2014 and the landlord of number 13, the only unrenovated house le� on Hebelstrasse, has been vacating the building of its tenants for the past two years. � e three remaining occupants have made themselves comfortable in their various di� erent ways—and then one day a letter arrives.

Trenchant, sometimes funny and profoundly moving – a novel about the last tenants of an apartment building that comes with many a surprising twist and turn.
Dresden, 1947, the second year a� er the end of the war. � e city lies within the Soviet occupation zone and is still a desert of rubble and ruins. Inspector Max Heller is summoned to the scene of a crime—but before he gets a chance to begin his investigation he discovers that the Russian military has removed the corpse of a Red Army soldier from the scene. At the same time, Heller makes a gruesome discovery in an abandoned rucksack: a man’s severed head...
A freezing winter, an occupied city, abandoned children, a brutal murderer on the loose—and Max Heller’s second case.

Ikigai: this resonant Japanese term stands for the joy that comes with � nding meaning in life and consequently concentrating on the things that are truly worthwhile. Research shows that those with high ikigai levels not only lead a more ful� lled life but also have a signi� cantly higher life-expetancy than those who haven’t yet found their raison d’être. In this manual, Bettina Lemke exp-lains the principles and o� ers readers guidance for discovering their own ikigai by using mental techniques and other exercises.
In the wake of the Danish "hygge principle" discussed in books the world over, ikigai is the new hot topic that captures the spirit of our times

It’s autumn 2014 and the landlord of number 13, the only unreno-vated house le� on Hebelstrasse, has been vacating the building of its tenants for the past two years. 55-year-old janitor Karl Kramer, 72-year-old Elisabeth Buttkies, a retired German teacher, and Marina, a 28-year-old part-time student who calls herself Jersey, are united in being the last of their kind, though they could hardly be more di� erent. � e three remaining occupants have made themselves comfortable in their various di� erent ways. � e world beyond their door isn’t always a very friendly place, or so they feel, but once they’re in their own separate enclaves they can lick their wounds or tend to their cats. All they want is for everything to stay as it is, suspended in time in a world that never quite exist-ed—and then one day a letter arrives from the new landlord.
Eviction...structural renovation...notice to quit... � nal…
� e � ght begins and the reader surprisingly � nds himself im-mersed in the commentary of the one protagonist whose fate is de� nitely at stake here: the house. � e last of their kind face a monumental battle for their fabled slice of heaven; their very identities. � e struggle is as irrational as it is bitter, harsh and unforgiving. Suspicion, accusation, slander and libel—they’ll stop at nothing. Barricades are erected, cats are poisoned and wigs torched. A shoulder is fractured, but just when they’re at the point of no return, one of them comes up with a brilliant plan. Contrary to all expectations, the last of their kind do what none of them had ever thought possible—they join forces despite all their di� erences.
In the end the geraniums are blossoming again, it’s springtime. Three of them are happy and one is dead.

Five men in their middle years: convicted former terrorists Muhammad, Suleiman and Jamil from the occupied territories and Israeli refuseniks Chen and Amil. Five former prisoners who founded the Peace Movement a� er their release, determined to give their lives a distinctly new direction.
It was Muhammad who approached Lizzie Doron in the � rst instance, but she would come to meet them all—enemies and adversaries turned allies; Palestin-ians who wanted to kill Jews and Israelis who refused to defend their country. She met with them over the course of a year, and the result is a moving narra-tive about former radicals who came to represent a perspective that remains steadfast against senseless hatred. Words are more powerful than Molotov cocktails, hand grenades or stones. And it’s o� en those who swim against the tide who o� er the best hope of salvation.
LIZZIE DORON was born in
1953 in Tel Aviv. She studied
linguistics before becoming a
writer. Her fi rst novel Ruhige
Zeiten (Quiet Times) won the
Buchman prize, and in 2007
she was awarded the Jeanette
Schocken prize. Critics cele-
brate her as an outstanding
and distinctive narrator who
instils personal experience
with universal signifi cance,
condensing it into poignant,
emotionally charged novels.

Marten feels most at home in graveyards: they are quiet and their trees o� er plenty of shade. Even as a child he was the odd one out—and as an adult he takes up the profession that � ts him like a lid � ts a co� n: he becomes a funeral bugler, playing a last song for the dead. But when Marten � nds a bank card belonging to his just-buried former classmate Wilhelm, it marks the start of a bizarre odyssey. � rough no fault of his own, he is drawn up in a maelstrom of peculiar events and forced to confront everything he’s taken such great pains to avoid all his life: other people, money, adventure—and love. A funny and poignant novel about one of life’s conscientious objectors, an extraordinary, eccentric character who experiences the adventure of a lifetime over the course of a single summer.

“People tell each other stories in order to survive—but for death they need music.”
Béatrice is in the middle of unpacking when the doorbell rings. She’s just moved from the city to an old mill by a lake somewhere deep in the provinces. She doesn’t know a soul here yet—so who on earth could this be? Outside her door she � nds a young man calling himself Alexander Vogt who claims that Béatrice was a long-standing friend of his mother Helga. He’s trying to � nd out why his mother disappeared for three years back in 1977.
Béatrice can’t remember a thing, but over the next few days she’s assailed by doubts: could Helga actually be Hedda, a friend from her university days who went underground? How much can she actually recall of that distant past and the period that came to be known as the German Autumn? Odile Kennel’s nov-el tells the story of a woman whose personal history re� ects that of the Federal Republic of Germany, posing the question of how we remember our own past.

Bendix Steensen is stranded by a storm at Heathrow airport. At increasingly frequent intervals, he receives calls from his nine-year-old son Lewe, whose panic is clearly growing by the minute. His mum and grandma have been gone for hours, nobody’s answering their phone and he’s afraid he may no longer be alone in the remote house in Niebüll.
Bendix alerts the local police and although they don’t � nd anything suspicious, he does everything in his power to get back to North Frisia as quickly as pos-sible. But hindered by blizzards and storms, the journey seems endless. Mean-while, Bendix’s wife and mother are facing a struggle of a very di� erent nature —and Lewe really is no longer alone....

Every autumn, Ireland’s most important festival—Samhain, a kind of Hallo-ween—is celebrated on the Aran Islands. It’s a wild night in which all the is-landers dress up to avoid being recognised by the spirits that abound—but one celebrant, a mysterious guest in Pattie Burke’s B&B on Inis Meaín, will not live to see the dawn.
He is murdered by the Green Man, a stranger disguised as a tree, providing Grace O’Malley, head of the Galway murder squad, with her third case. And it’s no walk in the park—not only does she have to deal with all sorts of traditions and phenomena unique to Ireland (such as the Society for the Right to Cut Peat), but she also discovers how painful the concept of homeland can be.

Côtes du Rhône and Châteauneuf-du-Pape: two wine-growing regions, one on the le� bank of the Rhone, the other on the right. Two brothers, vintners on opposite sides of the river. When one dies, it looks at � rst sight like an accident. But Simone Latroye, a trainee on the dead winegrower’s vineyard, has good reason to believe that’s not the case, so she asks her godfather Martin Bongers – currently a vintner in Bordeaux – for assistance. � e erstwhile Frankfurt wine merchant rushes to her side immediately—only too well aware of what ambi-tion, envy and greed can drive people to...

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy was one of the greatest musicians and music patrons of the Romantic movement. Grandson of the great philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, he came from a respected, well-to-do Jewish family that convert-ed to Christianity.
His Grand Tour took him not to the “classically” popular countries of Greece, Israel, Italy or France, but to England, where he was enthusiastically received—not least because of his overture to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. He became so famous that people would greet him on the street with “Good morning, Mr Mendelssohn”. � e a� ection was mutual and remained undiminished until the day of this charming and gi� ed young man’s untimely death from stroke at the age of thirty-eight.

Ikigai: this resonant Japanese term stands for the joy that comes with � nding meaning in life and consequently concentrating on the things that are truly worthwhile. Research shows that those with high ikigai levels not only lead a more ful� lled life but also have a signi� cantly higher life-expectancy than those who haven’t yet found their raison d’être. We all come equipped with ikigai, it’s a resource just waiting to be tapped in order to attain greater levels of inspiration, vivacity and energyy – to lead a healthier, happier life.
In her introduction, Bettina Lemke explains the principles of ikigai. In the main section she o� ers readers guidance for discov-ering their own ikigai through exercises. � e themes she address-es include conscious breathing, diet, sleeping patterns, exercise, inner peace, resilience, perfect � ow and � nding your individual rhythm of life.

our Autumn 2017 list
A� er seven decades of peace, freedom and increasing prosperity, Germany is the most successful country in the world in geopolit-ical terms. It has been actively involved in global security issues while steering clear of any hint of superpower politics. In the wake of its moral suicide in World War Two, Germany has con-sistently taken a subordinate role and done its utmost to avoid the onside position with the allies.
But many of the pillars on which the country’s post-war success story is based—the EU, NATO, the USA and France—are in danger of collapse, forcing the Federal Republic to assume a more active role in the political as well as the military sphere.
� is calls for a totally new strategy which must ensure the avoid-ance of reawakening fears – in the German people and the world at large. To this end, the principle of servant leadership adopted by economists could serve as a model. � e authors comprehen-sively explore this principle in relation to domestic, foreign and economic policy, as well as in terms of global geopolitics.
There will be three global nodes in the future: the U.S., China – and Germany for Europe.
John Kornblum, former U.S. ambassador in Germany

� e Islamic Republic stands for an authoritarian yet modern society ground-ed in technology and the military which managed to retain a unique Iranian culture. But Iranian society is rent by an ongoing struggle: Which roles are tradition, religion and western in� uences to play in the future? At the same time the country is far more open than other authoritarian powers in Asia. Iran is on the cusp of a new tomorrow. And women are playing a central part: unlike their Arab neighbours, they enjoy a high level of education and are therefore a driving force for social change.
� is book focuses on everyday Iranian life beyond the state. Charlotte Wiede-mann brings in-depth knowledge to her exhaustive analysis of the Iranian worldview, the at times almost obsessive national pride and the deep-seated fears originating in centuries of colonial oppression.

An inside view of the most important power in the Middle East
We’ve become blithely accustomed to a whole range of foods and drinks due to their ready availability: from staples such as meat, early crop potatoes, cereals, co� ee and tea to almonds, tomatoes, citrus fruit and red wine. But this agree-able state of a� airs is unlikely to last.
Changing weather conditions, too much rain or too little, extremes of drought, frosts and heatwaves – as well as ever new strains of pesticide-resistant para- sites—are endangering the world’s harvests, leading to cost increases and shi� s in agricultural areas. In this book, established experts consider the e� ects of climate change on ten of our most popular staples. How do we prepare for the future? What alternatives are there?
WILFRIED BOMMERT was

torate in agronomy, was the

� e relentless advance of the Front National is changing the French political landscape. Marine le Pen, the party’s head, is quite clearly reaching out for presidency. Julia Heyer describes how the Front National has become increas-ingly slick and professional and how it manages to attract such untold levels of support among the French electorate. Le Pen has managed to turn her party into a viable option for academics and the well-o� .
“French political discourse has been driven by excessive emotion, if not out-right hysteria, for far too long. What we need to do is analyse the causes of the virulent expansion of the Front National and its penetration of one demogra- phic stratum a� er another; we need to consider e� ective strategies and o� er viable alternatives.” Heyer takes a close look at the party’s leading lights, Marine le Pen and her niece Marion Marechal le Pen, as well as various other in� uential players. Describing recent developments in French society, the book examines the causes and consequences of the Front National’s overwhelming success in the light of the rise of right wing political parties across all of Europe.

What’s stirring up France – and who’s doing the stirring?
Frustrated by what he sees as patchwork politics, Omid Nouripour presents a tangible political approach for dealing with Islamist terror in terms of both internal and foreign policy. He holds that “IS” can be defeated by adopting a prudent combination of ideological, military, political and monetary resources.
� e war against “IS” has to be of utmost priority (as is currently the case only in Iraq). Capping its revenue streams is of pivotal importance (q.v. the Panama Papers). Iraq is the key to success, not Syria. But even more dangerous than the Middle East are those African countries with weak state structures, or Paki-stan with its nuclear bomb. � e architecture of security requires fundamental change. We’ve spent � � een years � ghting the War on Terror to no avail, and it’s about time we considered other strategies.
OMID NOURIPOUR was born
in 1975 in Tehran. He has been
a member of the German
parliament since 2006, and
is foreign aff airs spokesman
for the Green Party, as well as
holding various other offi ces.
An old hand at politics and
a renowned expert on the
Middle East, he is the only
member of the Bundestag
who can speak Arabic and

When women were banned from running marathons…
Michael Wol� sohn’s paternal grandfather Karl was a leading light of the Berlin entertainment industry—but in 1939 he was forced into exile and immigrated to Palestine. Justus Saalheimer, Wol� sohn’s maternal grandfather, was interned in Dachau in November 1938. Following his release in February 1939, he also immigrated to Palestine along with his family. Michael Wol� sohn’s father Max met his wife � ea Saalheimer in Tel-Aviv and the couple returned to Germany in the 1950s, embarking on a new life in the land of their former oppressors. � ough much of the family had been lucky to survive the Holocaust, it was to be the beginning of a protracted struggle for the restitution of property misap-propriated by the Nazis.
Is it possible to reconcile oneself with Germany’s past and live as the proud Ger-man-Jewish patriot Michael Wol� sohn describes himself as? How did his career as scientist and writer evolve? His ever-provocative, radical theories invariably led to his being targeted by both le� - and right-wingers in Germany, while his public persona and the fact that he married out of faith meant he was also long considered an enfant terrible by the Jewish establishment.
MICHAEL WOLFFSOHN
was born in Tel Aviv to Ger-
man-Jewish parents who fl ed
to Palestine in 1939. His family
returned to Germany in 1954,
and Wolff sohn was Professor
of Contemporary History at
the Munich Bundeswehruni-
versität from 1981 until 2012.
This book tells the story of three generations of a widely extended Jewish family—from the early 20th century to their present identity as modern-day Judeo-Christians.

� e diaries demonstrate the appeal of Nazi ideology to young people in a frighteningly realistic way. As well as o� ering historical context, this book brings a new perspective to the highly topical theme of the ideological seduc-tion of adolescents.
� e only existing document of its kind. Review in New Books in German.
How do we go about striking a proper balance in life? Such a central tenet revolves around sustainability and our consumer behaviour. Self-image and health, both physical and psychological, also play a vital role, as do avarice, greed and envy – and, on the other hand, mutual respect, empathy and mind-fulness. Anselm Grün examines all these issues in depth; however his inten-tion is not to put forth a moral suasion, but to show us a path towards a more temperate and contented life.
Anselm Grün’s books have been translated into 30 languages and achieved sales of over 14 million worldwide.
