GO VISTA: Reiseführer Köln

Über das Reiseziel KölnKöln ist ein Gefühl', lautet der vielzitierte Slogan, mit dem die Stadt für sich wirbt. Jung, bunt und lebendig geht es zu in der mittelalterlichen Kirchenmetropole und heutigen Medienstadt. Rund ein Drittel aller deutschen TV-Produktionen entstehen hier und sie verfestigen Kölns Ruf als Stadt der Unterhaltung und des rheinischen Frohsinns. Nicht allein Brauereien und Gastronomie, sondern auch Bimmelbahn- und Bierbike-Anbieter leben vom (feier-)lustigen und trinkfreudigen Image der Stadt, zu dem natürlich der Karneval maßgeblich beiträgt. Aber auch die Christopher-Street-Day-Parade als größtes Queer-Event Europas.Doch die über 2000-jährige Stadt hat auch kulturell viel zu bieten: Römerturm und Praetorium, zwölf romanische Kirchen, gotischen Dom und Renaissance-Rathaus, einen Friedhof aus der Franzosenzeit und preußische Forts, architektonische Kleinode aus den 1950er-Jahren, bedeutende Sammlungen alter und zeitgenössischer Kunst und die Hochschule für Medienkunst. Nicht zuletzt bereichern neben Schauspiel, Oper und Philharmonie Events wie Art Cologne, lit.COLOGNE, MusikTriennale und die 'Langen Nächte' die Kulturlandschaft dieser faszinierenden Stadt im Westen Deutschlands.Dennoch hat Köln sich ein gewisses Maß an Provinzialität bewahrt, was manche charmant und andere peinlich finden. Es bildet den Humus, auf dem der berühmt-berüchtigte kölsche Klüngel gedeiht, der sich zwischen Kavaliersdelikt und Korruption bewegt.Über den Go Vista City Guide KölnDer Inhalt des Reiseführers kurz und knapp:- Top 10 des Reiseziels: Das müssen Sie gesehen haben- Chronik: Daten zur Landesgeschichte- Stadttouren: 'Die Altstadt' und 'Urbane Vielfalt zwischen Hohe Straße und Hahnentor' -- die Stadt richtig kennenlernen mit den Vorschlägen für zwei Rundgänge, die auch in den Detailkarten eingezeichnet sind- Streifzüge: 'Deutz', 'Altenberger Dom', 'Brühl' - Stadtviertel, die Umgebung und neue Seiten der Stadt entdecken- Vista Points: Alle Highlights der Reiseregion - Orte, Landschaften, Sehenswürdigkeiten mit den dazugehörigen Adressen für Sehenswürdigkeiten, Essen und Trinken, Nightlife, Kultur und Unterhaltung, Shopping und Erholung und Sport- Service: Reisepraktische Tipps von A bis Z- Sprachführer: Die wichtigsten Wörter für unterwegs- Karte: Ausfaltbare Landkarte mit Stadtplänen und Register- Hochwertige Klappenbroschur: Übersichtskarte des Reisegebiets mit den eingezeichneten Top 10 und farbig gekennzeichneten Regionen in der vorderen Klappe

Es wird Nacht im Berlin der Wilden Zwanziger

Das Berlin der Goldenen 1920er ist eine Erfolgsstory, die das 20. Jahrhundert seinen Kindern und jetzt auch Kindeskindern immer wieder gerne erzählt: so viel Rasanz, Theatralik, Drama, Lichter der Großstadt, Verkehrschaos, Leben, das laut auf sich aufmerksam macht, will es nicht in Hinterhöfen und Mietskasernen verkümmern, Cabaret, Theater, Funk, Film, Reklame, Bubikopf und Monokel, queere Kieze, Charleston und der "Onkel Bumba aus Kalumba"; alles rennt, rast und schwoft, jeden Tag breaking news, Sensationen und Spektakel. An dieser Geschichte, deren Strahlkraft heller leuchtet als fünf Millionen Osram-Birnen (Werk Berlin-Friedrichshain), haben viele mitgestrickt: Kunstschaffende, City Girls, Gigolos, Bohemiens, Intellektuelle, Koksbarone, Ringvereine und Politgangster, Wissenschaftler, Sportskanonen und Spekulanten, Dr. Mabuse, Mackie Messer, Maria, der schöne Maschinenmensch und eine endlose Parade von tanzwütigen Nachtschwärmern.Nach den Bestsellern Hollywood in the 30s und Jazz: New York in the Roaring Twenties hat sich Illustrator Robert Nippoldt diesmal mit dem Schriftsteller Boris Pofalla zusammengetan, um den Geist dieses Jahrzehnts in einem atmosphärisch dichten Album einzufangen.Nippoldt stellt nicht nur bekannte Figuren wie Lotte Reiniger, Christopher Isherwood, Albert Einstein, Kurt Weill, Marlene Dietrich und George Grosz vor, sondern auch Thea Alba, "die Frau mit zehn Gehirnen", Magnus Hirschfeld, den "Einstein des Sex", und den berühmt-berüchtigten Ganoven Adolf Leib. Bevor Weltwirtschaftskrise und Naziherrschaft Berlin das Licht ausknipsen, zeigt uns Nippoldt noch einmal alles: die grellen Lichter der Großstadt und das Grau der Fabriken, Hinterhöfe und Mietskasernen, das Geschrei der Sporthallen und die Stille der Theatersäle, den Gesang der Comedian Harmonists und Marlene Dietrich, die sich zylinderbehütet eine Zigarette anzündet und dann - kluge Frau - ein Dampferticket nach Hollywood kauft.Auszeichnungen:ADC Award, 2019, New YorkiF Design Award, 2019, HannoverA' Design Award, 2019 Como/ItalyEcon Megaphone Award, Shortlist, 2019, BerlinIndigo Design Award, 2019, AmsterdamGerman Design Award, 2019, FrankfurtBest Book Award, 2018, Los AngelesBerlin Type Award, 2018, BerlinRed Dot Design Award, 2018, EssenADC Award, 2018, BerlinJoseph Binder Award, 2018, ViennaInternational Design Award, 2018, Los AngelesInternational Creative Media Award, 2018, MeerbuschStiftung Buchkunst, Shortlist, 2018, Frankfurt

New Yorkers

In the first twenty years of the twenty-first century, New York City has been convulsed by terrorist attack, blackout, hurricane, recession, social injustice, and pandemic. New Yorkers weaves the voices of some of the city's best talkers into an indelible portrait of New York in our time-and a powerful hymn to the vitality and resilience of its people. Best-selling author Craig Taylor has been hailed as "a peerless journalist and a beautiful craftsman" (David Rakoff), acclaimed for the way he "fuses the mundane truth of conversation with the higher truth of art" (Michel Faber). In the wake of his celebrated book Londoners, Taylor moved to New York and spent years meeting regularly with hundreds of New Yorkers as diverse as the city itself. New Yorkers features 75 of the most remarkable of them, their fascinating true tales arranged in thematic sections that follow Taylor's growing engagement with the city. Here are the uncelebrated people who propel New York each day-bodega cashier, hospital nurse, elevator repairman, emergency dispatcher. Here are those who wire the lights at the top of the Empire State Building, clean the windows of Rockefeller Center, and keep the subway running. Here are people whose experiences reflect the city's fractured realities: the mother of a Latino teenager jailed at Rikers, a BLM activist in the wake of police shootings. And here are those who capture the ineffable feeling of New York, such as a balloon handler in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade or a security guard at the Statue of Liberty. Vibrant and bursting with life, New Yorkers explores the nonstop hustle to make it; the pressures on new immigrants, people of color, and the poor; the constant battle between loving the city and wanting to leave it; and the question of who gets to be considered a "New Yorker." It captures the strength of an irrepressible city that-no matter what it goes through-dares call itself the greatest in the world.

It Happened One Summer

USA TODAY BESTSELLER Tessa Bailey is back with a Schitt's Creek-inspired rom-com about a Hollywood ?It Girl? who's cut off from her wealthy family and exiled to a small Pacific Northwest beach town... where she butts heads with a surly, sexy local who thinks she doesn't belong. As seen on E!Online, PopSugar, CNN, EliteDaily, Vulture, Buzzfeed, Bustle, the Nerd Daily, PARADE, LA Magazine, Country Living, USA Today, and more! Piper Bellinger is fashionable, influential, and her reputation as a wild child means the paparazzi are constantly on her heels. When too much champagne and an out-of-control rooftop party lands Piper in the slammer, her stepfather decides enough is enough. So he cuts her off, and sends Piper and her sister to learn some responsibility running their late father's dive bar... in Washington. Piper hasn't even been in Westport for five minutes when she meets big, bearded sea captain Brendan, who thinks she won't last a week outside of Beverly Hills. So what if Piper can't do math, and the idea of sleeping in a shabby apartment with bunk beds gives her hives. How bad could it really be? She's determined to show her stepfather?and the hot, grumpy local?that she's more than a pretty face. Except it's a small town and everywhere she turns, she bumps into Brendan. The fun-loving socialite and the gruff fisherman are polar opposites, but there's an undeniable attraction simmering between them. Piper doesn't want any distractions, especially feelings for a man who sails off into the sunset for weeks at a time. Yet as she reconnects with her past and begins to feel at home in Westport, Piper starts to wonder if the cold, glamorous life she knew is what she truly wants. LA is calling her name, but Brendan?and this town full of memories?may have already caught her heart.

Madam

"The simmering menace and mystery kept me absolutely gripped...a smoldering novel that I could not put down." --Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne "Rebecca meets The Secret History: gloriously dark, gloriously Gothic." --Sara Collins, bestselling author of The Confessions of Fannie Langton Named a Best Book of 2021 by Goodreads . Entertainment Weekly . Parade . PopSugar . Brit+Co . Romper . Frolic . Crime Reads . SheKnows.com . Women.com Discover the secrets of Caldonbrae Hall in Phoebe Wynne's riveting, modern gothic debut, Madam, set at an all girls' boarding school perched on a craggy Scottish peninsula. For 150 years, high above rocky Scottish cliffs, Caldonbrae Hall has sat untouched, a beacon of excellence in an old ancestral castle. A boarding school for girls, it promises that the young women lucky enough to be admitted will emerge "resilient and ready to serve society." Into its illustrious midst steps Rose Christie: a 26-year-old Classics teacher, Caldonbrae's new head of the department, and the first hire for the school in over a decade. At first, Rose is overwhelmed to be invited into this institution, whose prestige is unrivaled. But she quickly discovers that behind the school's elitist veneer lies an impenetrable, starkly traditional culture that she struggles to reconcile with her modernist beliefs--not to mention her commitment to educating "girls for the future." It also doesn't take long for Rose to suspect that there's more to the secret circumstances surrounding the abrupt departure of her predecessor--a woman whose ghost lingers everywhere--than anyone is willing to let on. In her search for this mysterious former teacher, Rose instead uncovers the darkness that beats at the heart of Caldonbrae, forcing her to confront the true extent of the school's nefarious purpose, and her own role in perpetuating it. A darkly feminist tale pitched against a haunting backdrop, and populated by an electrifying cast of heroines, Madam will keep readers engrossed until the breathtaking conclusion. They want our silence... They want our obedience... Let them see our fire burn

Piñatas and Paintbrushes: Hearts of Snow Lake, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 415min

Sebastian: He’s a shining star, I’m a black hole. Complete opposites. And just like our astronomic counterparts, there’s no way Marty’s light is ever going to brighten me. Black holes don’t let any light escape. They devour it all. And that’s what will happen to Marty if he doesn’t keep his distance from me. I want to warn him, but there’s a selfish part of me that can’t do it. Like a moth, I’m drawn to Marty’s light. I know I should stay away — for his sake more than mine — but I can’t. A better man would do the hard thing and stay away. Not me. The fact that this time the easy way lines up with my self-centered desire to spend more time with him, is only a bonus. He doesn’t know that I’ve already declared this over in my head. Part of me is determined to give this a real go and not lose my chance with him because if I back out now and regret it later, it could be too late. Which is worse? Missing my chance, or opening myself up to the agony I already know so intimately?Marty:Me: I know what I’m doing, and I know Sam’s not after anything serious. It’s fine. I can handle it. Narrator: He could not handle it. Some folks say I live in a dreamworld. It's partly true; I run a party planning business in the idyllic town of Snow Lake and I love every minute of it. But when I watch my friends partner up and look so happy, I hide my sadness. Nobody needs to know how deep that particular pit goes. When Sebastian arrives in Snow Lake, I bring him a welcome basket, like I do for everyone. But when I actually take in that muscular frame and artist's mystique, I practically want to organize a parade complete with marching band and an interpretive dance about how much he turns me on. So what if he says he only wants a casual thing? A hookup is better than not getting my hands on that body. And besides, how can he not fall in love with me? I'm charming. I deserve love. Right? Right? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cam Walker. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/230888/bk_acx0_230888_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

The Secret Tunnels of Trinity Hall: The Secret Tunnels of Trinity Hall, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min

I was exhausted and hungry. I went to the cafeteria in the college and ate some food. It was German food of course, sausages, cheese, bread and fruit. I wasn't sure what the other dishes were, so I stuck to what looked edible for my taste. I sat at a table by myself and several moments later a male student sat next to me and introduced himself as Frans. I introduced myself as well. Trying to use the best German accent I had been taught in German class. My teacher would have been proud, because it worked! I was able to carry on a conversation about the current events and school finals that would be coming up soon. He had asked me if I had attended the parade and had commented on how the spirits were high, considering that Hitler was losing the war. I agreed. I didn't dare tell him that by this time tomorrow, Hitler would be dead because he would have taken his own life. After talking to Frans for a while it turned out that he was the nephew of one of Hitler's officers. He asked me if I had wanted to meet Hitler the next day, since he was meeting his uncle for lunch. At first, I was frightened, but then maybe I would have some questions answered and be able to figure out how to return back to my time period. There was a reason I was here and I wasn't yet sure why. After I ate, Frans and I took a walk on the campus. He asked me if I was staying at the college or a youth hostel. I said a youth hostel, he said he would walk me there, which was good, because I had no idea where the nearest one was and he apparently did. When we arrived at the entrance way he stopped and hugged me and said he would pick me up the next day. I went inside the hostel and checked in for a room. I was exhausted. I took a shower and there were clothes in the closet that were left by the previous student who had stayed there, which happened to be female. Lucky me! I fell right to sleep. ungekürzt.
