    When a lonely olive grower, Arcadio Carnabuci, sows his love seeds, he cannot imagine the chaos his magic fruit will bring. While Fernanda Ponderosa, the voluptuous woman of his dreams, evades his spell, Gezabel, a hardworking middle-aged mule, falls head over hooves in love with him.

    Deutschland Schwarz Weiß
    Ausgabe 2018. Für die vorliegende Ausgabe zum zehnjährigen Jubiläum wurden Print- und E-Book-Fassung von »Deutschland Schwarz Weiß« von der Autorin umfänglich überarbeitet und ergänzt. Inhalt: In der Schule lernen wir, dass alle Menschen gleich seien. Gleichzeitig lernen wir jedoch »Grundwissen«, das noch aus der Kolonialzeit stammt. In deutlicher Sprache und mit tiefgründigem Humor entlarvt die bekannte Künstlerin und Aktivistin Noah Sow den Alltagsrassismus, der uns in Deutschland täglich begegnet. So zeigt sie etwa, wie selbst die UNICEF-Werbung sich rassistischer Klischees bedient, und warum es schlimmer ist, »Die weiße Massai« zu Ende zu lesen, als nicht zur Lichterkette zu gehen. Rassismus zu bekämpfen heißt zunächst einmal, ihn zu verstehen. Dieser Prozess wird auch für Angehörige der Mehrheitsgesellschaft nicht ganz schmerzfrei vonstattengehen können. Aber wie nicht zuletzt Noah Sows Buch deutlich macht: lohnen wird es sich allemal, und zwar für alle. »Deutschland SchwarzWeiß« wurde seit seiner Erstauflage 2008 im C. Bertelsmann Verlag zu einem Standardwerk für die Lehre und Diskussion über strukturellen Rassismus in Deutschland und hat bis heute nichts an seiner Aktualität eingebüßt. Es folgten zahlreiche weitere Auflagen sowie eine Audiofassung.

    At the Edge of the Orchard , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 541min
    “With impeccable research and flawless prose, Chevalier perfectly conjures the grandeur of the pristine Wild West...and the everyday adventurers - male and female - who were bold enough or foolish enough to be drawn to the unknown. She crafts for us an excellent experience.” (USA Today) From internationally best-selling author Tracy Chevalier, author of A Single Thread, comes a riveting drama of a pioneer family on the American frontier. It's 1838. James and Sadie Goodenough have settled where their wagon got stuck - in the muddy, stagnant swamps of Northwest Ohio. They and their five children work relentlessly to tame their patch of land, buying saplings from a local tree man known as John Appleseed so they can cultivate the 50 apple trees required to stake their claim on the property. But the orchard they plant sows the seeds of a long battle. James loves the apples, reminders of an easier life back in Connecticut, while Sadie prefers the applejack they make, an alcoholic refuge from brutal frontier life. It's 1853. Their youngest child, Robert, is wandering through Gold Rush California. Restless and haunted by the broken family he left behind, he has made his way alone across the country. In the redwood and giant sequoia groves, he finds some solace, collecting seeds for a naturalist who sells plants from the new world to the gardeners of England. But you can run only so far, even in America, and when Robert's past makes an unexpected appearance, he must decide whether to strike out again or stake his own claim to a home at last. Chevalier tells a fierce, beautifully crafted story in At the Edge of the Orchard, her most graceful and richly imagined work yet.  ungekürzt.

    The Upstairs Wife: An Intimate History of Pakistan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 610min
    A memoir of Karachi through the eyes of its women. For a brief moment on December 27, 2007, life came to a standstill in Pakistan. Benazir Bhutto, the country's former prime minister and the first woman ever to lead a Muslim country, had been assassinated at a political rally just outside Islamabad. Back in Karachi--Bhutto's birthplace and Pakistan's other great metropolis--Rafia Zakaria's family was suffering through a crisis of its own: her uncle Sohail, the man who had brought shame upon the family, was near death. In that moment these twin catastrophes--one political and public, the other secret and intensely personal--briefly converged. Zakaria uses that moment to begin her intimate exploration of the country of her birth. Her Muslim-Indian family immigrated to Pakistan from Bombay in 1962, escaping the precarious state in which the Muslim population in India found itself following the Partition. For them Pakistan represented enormous promise. And for some time, Zakaria's family prospered, and the city prospered. But in the 1980s, Pakistan's military dictators began an Islamization campaign designed to legitimate their rule--a campaign that particularly affected women's freedom and safety. The political became personal when her aunt Amina's husband, Sohail, did the unthinkable and took a second wife--a humiliating and painful betrayal of kin and custom that shook the foundation of Zakaria's family but was permitted under the country's new laws. The young Rafia grows up in the shadow of Amina's shame and fury while the world outside her home turns ever more chaotic and violent, the opportunities available to post-Partition immigrants are dramatically curtailed, and terrorism sows its seeds in Karachi. Telling the parallel stories of Amina's polygamous marriage and Pakistan's hopes and betrayals, The Upstairs Wife is an intimate exploration of the disjunction between exalted dreams and complicated realities. ungekürzt.
