    School Days
    The new novel from the acclaimed poet and publisher asks fundamental questions about love and sex, friendship and rivalry, desire and power, and the age-old dance of benevolence and attraction between teacher and student. Sam Brandt is a long-term denizen of Connecticut's renowned Leverett School. As an English teacher he has dedicated his life to providing his students with the same challenges, encouragement, and sense of possibility that helped him and his friends become themselves here half a lifetime ago. Then Leverett's headmaster asks Sam to help investigate a charge brought by one of his classmates that he was abused by a teacher. Sam is flooded with memories, above all of his overwhelming love for his friend Eddie and the support of his most inspiring mentor, Theodore Gibson. Sam's search for the truth becomes a quest to get at the heart of Leverett, then and now. The school has changed enormously over the years, but at its core lie assumptions about privilege and responsibility untested for more than a century. And Sam's assumptions about his own life are shaken, too, as he struggles to understand what really happened all those years ago.

    Her Faerie Tale is getting awfully grim. Deor Smithfield had it all figured out. She had a great education, a new job teaching at a good university, and a plan to move across the country to start her new life. Then her body betrayed her, and she seemed to be falling prey to the same wasting sickness that killed her mother. When medical science failed her in spectacular fashion, Deor's grandmother told her that her long-lost father was more than just another deadbeat dad - he was a faerie, and she's a Changeling, half-human, half-fae. Now Deor has to rush to Faerie in search of her missing father before his magical parting gift kills her. She's in a new world with no friends, no money, no job, and only a few days to find her disappearing daddy before she's kicked back out into the mundane world to die. Oh yeah, and somebody's hunting Changelings in Faerie. Changeling's Fall is the first volume of the Eisteddfod Chronicles, the stunning debut contemporary high fantasy series from Sarah Joy Adams and Emily Lavin Leverett. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Legend of the Free State of Jones , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 302min
    The original, full accounting of a rebellion in the Heart of Dixie. A maverick, unionist district in the heart of the Old South? A notorious county that seceded from the Confederacy? This is how Jones County, Mississippi, is known in myth and legend. Since 1864 the legend has persisted. Differing versions give the name of this new nation as Republic of Jones, Jones County Confederacy, and Free State of Jones. Over the years this story has captured the imaginations of journalists, historians, essayists, novelists, short story writers, and Hollywood film makers, although serious scholars long ago questioned the accuracy of local history accounts about a secessionist county led by Newt Knight and a band of renegades. Legend of the Free State of Jones was the first, authoritative explanation of just what did happen in Jones County in 1864 to give rise to the legend. This book surveys the facts, the records, and the history of the "Free State of Jones" and well may provide the whole story. Rudy H. Leverett was born in an unplumbed cabin in the woods outside of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He had a doctoral degree in education and spent his life writing extensively on the subjects of philosophy and the American South. He died on his birthday in 1999. The book is published by University Press of Mississippi. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Claton Butcher. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/002110/bk_acx0_002110_sample.mp3.

    A Quiet Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 940min
    Wife. Mother. Spy. A double life is no life at all. Since the disappearance of her husband in 1951, Laura Leverett has been living in limbo with her daughter in Geneva. All others see is her conventional, charming exterior; nobody guesses the secret she is carrying. Her double life began years ago, when she stepped onto the boat which carried her across the Atlantic in 1939. Eager to learn and eager to love, she found herself suddenly inspired by a young Communist woman she met on the boat. In London she began to move between two different worlds - from the urbane society of her cousins and their upper-class friends to the anger of those who wanted to forge a new society. One night at a party, she met a man who seemed to her to combine both worlds but who was hiding a secret bigger than she could ever imagine. Impelled by desire, she found herself caught up in his hidden life. Love grew, but so did fear and danger. This is the warm-blooded story of the Cold War. The story of a wife whose part would take her from London in the Blitz to Washington at the height of McCarthyism to the possible haven of the English countryside. Gradually she learned what was at stake for herself, her husband, and her daughter; gradually she realised the dark consequences of her youthful idealism. Sweeping and exhilarating, alive with passion and betrayal, A Quiet Life is the first novel from a brilliant new voice in British fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Karen Cass.

    Handwerker und Adlige
    Übersetzt aus dem Englischen von Cornelia TheurerDer Preisträger des »Harvard Preis der Familie Klein für die beste Geschichtsarbeit« 2017 ist Rüdiger von Kraus. Das Thema seiner Masterarbeit: »Handwerker und Adlige: Die Familie von Kraus im Laufe von 350 Jahren Kriegen und sozialer Veränderungen in der Geschichte Osteuropas.« Die Arbeit richtet das Augenmerk auf die Siebenbürger Sachsen in Korrelation zur europäischen Geschichte am Beispiel der Familie von Kraus. Charles S. Maier, der Leverett Saltonstall Professor für Geschichte, der seine Masterarbeit betreute, bezeichnete diese Arbeit als »eine faszinierende, lehrreiche Erzählung«. Rüdiger erhielt ein MBA von der Rutgers University. Er ist erfolgreicher Unternehmer und ist derzeit Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender von Addex Incorporated, Hersteller von Geräten für die Blasfolienextrusion. Die Forschungsarbeit von Rüdiger von Kraus über die bis weit in die Vergangenheit zurückreichende Geschichte seiner sächsischen Familie - welchezu begleiten mir eine große Ehre war - machte mir bewusst, wie es einer vitalen, lebendigen Minderheitenkultur gelang, eine eigenständige Lebensgemeinschaft sozusagen eingekesselt zwischen (Kaiser)reichen und Völkern wie z.B. den Habsburgern, den Türken, den Ungarn und Rumänen - aufzubauen und zu gestalten, indem sie sich ihre Identität im Laufe mehrerer Jahrhunderte mit wechselnden Staatsformen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Veränderungen bewahrte. Charles S. MaierIch lese und lese und kann es nicht aus der Hand lassen. Gerührt, ja bewegt bin ich, dass ich am Ende meines Lebens noch so vieles über ein geliebtes Fogarasch erfahre, in der Literaturkritik verglichen mit: Macondo (Marquez, 100 Jahre Einsamkeit). Und bewundere Ihre wissenschaftliche Akribie und Methode der Analogie, Ihre verzweigte Gründlichkeit, keine noch so kleine Nische an Dokument und v.a. Kontext übergehen Sie. Hut ab, neuerlich chapeau! Ihr Eginald Schlattner
