Cuando todo se derrumba, cuando el mal se erige en sistema y lacrueldad en norma, ?puede un lápiz salvar el mundo?«He aprendido másde la guerra civil espa?ola leyendo El lápiz del carpintero, de Manuel Rivas, que en todos los libros de historia.»Günter GrassPremio de la Crítica Espa?olaPremio de la Sección Belga de Amnistía InternacionalEn la cárcel deSantiago de Compostela, en el verano de 1936, un pintor dibuja elPórtico de la Gloria con un lápiz de carpintero. Los rostros de losprofetas y de los ancianos de la Orquesta del Apocalipsis son los desus compa?eros republicanos de presidio. Un guardián, su futuroasesino, lo observa fascinado... La historia de ese lápiz, conductorde memorias, portador de almas, continuará hasta nuestros días.Después de La lengua de las mariposas, Manuel Rivas retoma el hilo de latragedia espa?ola, la guerra que estremeció al mundo y marcó lahistoria del siglo XX.

Few men can say they have known Africa as Peter Hathaway Capstick has know it-- leading safaris through lion country; tracking man-eating leopards along tangled jungle paths; running for cover as fear-maddened elephants stampede in all directions. And of the few who have known this dangerous way of life, fewer still can recount their adventures with the flair of this former professional hunter-turned-writer. Based on Capstick's own experiences and the personal accounts of his colleagues, "Death in the Long Grass "portrays the great killers of the African bush-- not only the lion, leopard, and elephant, but the primitive rhino and the crocodile waiting for its unsuspecting prey, the titanic hippo and the Cape buffalo charging like an express train out of control. Capstick was a born raconteur whose colorful descriptions and eye for exciting, authentic detail bring us face to face with some of the most ferocious killers in the world-- underrated killers like the surprisingly brave and cunning hyena, silent killers such as the lightning-fast black mamba snake, collective killers like the wild dog. Readers can lean back in a chair, sip a tall, iced drink, and revel in the kinds of hunting stories Hemingway and Ruark used to hear in hotel bars from Nairobi to Johannesburg, as veteran hunters would tell of what they heard beyond the campfire and saw through the sights of an express rifle. As thrilling as any novel, as taut and exciting as any adventure story, "Death in the Long Grass" takes us deep into the heart of darkness to view the Africa that few people have ever seen.

Die literarische Wiederentdeckung des Jahres. Der Tagesspiegel§Ein einzigartiges Panorama des Berliner Lebens in der Nazizeit: Hans Falladas eindringliche Darstellung des Widerstands der kleinen Leute avancierte rund 60 Jahre nach ihrer Entstehung zum überragenden Publikumserfolg in Deutschland und der Welt. Millionen Leser sind berührt von der Geschichte des Ehepaars Quangel, das nach dem Kriegstod des Sohnes einen ganz privaten Weg findet, sich gegen das unmenschliche Regime zur Wehr zu setzten und so die eigene Seele zu retten. §Der Sensationsbestseller in mehr als 30 Sprachen übersetzt§Ein Berliner Ehepaar wagte einen aussichtslosen Widerstand gegen die Nazis und wurde 1943 hingerichtet. Von ihrem Schicksal erfuhr Hans Fallada aus einer Gestapo-Akte, die ihm durch den Dichter und späteren Kulturminister Johannes R. Becher in die Hände kam. Fieberhaft schrieb Fallada daraufhin diesen Roman nieder und schuf ein Panorama des Lebens der normalen Leute im Berlin der Nazizeit: Nachdem ihr Sohn in Hitlers Krieg gefallen ist, wollen Anna und Otto Quangel Zeichen des Widerstands setzen. Sie schreiben Botschaften auf Karten und verteilen sie in der Stadt. Die stillen, nüchternen Eheleute träumen von einem weitreichenden Erfolg und ahnen nicht, dass Kommissar Escherich ihnen längst auf der Spur ist. Diese Neuausgabe präsentiert Falladas letzten Roman endlich in der ungekürzten Originalfassung und zeigt ihn rauer, intensiver, authentischer. Ergänzt wird der Text durch ein Nachwort, Glossar und Dokumente zum zeithistorischen Kontext.
