Als sich die 21-jährige Margot Bendheim am Mittag des 20. Januar 1943 mit ihrer Mutter und ihrem Bruder Ralph treffen will, um die Flucht vor der Gestapo aus Berlin vorzubereiten, erfährt sie, dass ihr Bruder kurz zuvor abgeholt wurde. Und auch die Mutter erscheint nicht - sie hinterlässt ihrer Tochter folgende Botschaft: "Ich habe mich entschlossen, mit Ralph zu gehen, wohin immer das auch sein mag. Versuche, dein Leben zu machen." Margot, verlassen und verloren, beschließt unterzutauchen; sie färbt sich die Haare rot und lässt ihre Nase operieren, um nicht als Jüdin aufzufallen. Fünfzehn Monate dauert das Leben im Untergrund, bei Helfern, die gleichwohl nicht alle selbstlos handelten. Dreimal entkommt sie der Gestapo nur um Haaresbreite. Dann, im April 1944, geht sie jüdischen "Greifern" in die Falle - sie wird nach Theresienstadt deportiert und überlebt mit Glück. Ihre Mutter und ihr Bruder werden in Auschwitz ermordet.§Margot Bendheim, die seit ihrer Heirat Friedlander heißt, emigrierte 1946 mit ihrem Mann in die USA. Heute, sechzig Jahre später, erzählt sie gemeinsam mit der Schriftstellerin Malin Schwerdtfeger ihre Geschichte - eine dramatische Geschichte von Hoffnung und Verrat, von Zivilcourage inmitten des Terrors und vom unbedingten Willen zu überleben.

Marlen Haushofer ist für ihre Leser lange ein Geheimnis geblieben. Daniela Strigl verfolgt ihren Lebensweg von der wilden Freiheit der Kinderjahre und der strengen Erziehung im Internat in die schwierige Ehe, der die zweifache Mutter immer wieder in die Welt der Schriftstellerkreise Wiens zu entfliehen suchte.

»Ich habe mein ganzes Leben darauf gewartet, dieses Buch zu schreiben.«Ob Richard Löwenherz, Henry Wilkox, Richard Nixon, Butler Stevens oder natürlich Dr. Hannibal Lecter - Anthony Hopkins' Rollen sind wie der Schauspieler selbst zu Ikonen geworden. Doch sein Weg war nicht von Beginn an mit Ruhm gepflastert. Er beschreibt sich selbst als Einzelgängerkind, hatte durchweg Probleme in der Schule und bewunderte zwar schon früh die großen Kinoschauspieler seiner Zeit, fiel selbst jedoch wenig durch Talent auf. Sein Schuldirektor fand einst folgende wenig schmeichelhafte Worte für ihn: »Anthony liegt weit unter dem Bildungsstandard dieser Schule. Er zeigt kein Interesse an Sport, Leichtathletik oder an den Stücken unserer Theatergruppe. Er findet keine Freunde. Anthony scheint sich für nichts um ihn herum zu interessieren.«Besonders das Verhältnis zu seinem Vater litt unter den Enttäuschungen, die der junge Anthony ihm brachte. Doch dieser ließ sich nicht entmutigen - im Gegenteil: Der Ehrgeiz packte ihn, und 70 Jahre später hat Anthony Hopkins der Welt bewiesen, was für ein brillanter Kopf er ist. Spätestens seit Das Schweigen der Lämmer gilt er als einer der bekanntesten Schauspieler der Welt, Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys und weitere Preise zeugen von seinem Erfolg.In seiner großen Autobiografie lernen wir den Menschen hinter seinen Rollen kennen. Er schreibt offen über die Dämonen, die ihn im Laufe seines Lebens heimsuchten, und über seinen Kampf mit dem Alkoholismus. Er scheut weder die Höhen und Tiefen seiner bewegten Karriere noch die seines Privatlebens und legt seine Gedanken in unnachahmlicher Weise mit einer ganz besonderen Erzählgabe dar.Ausstattung: mit 16 S. farbigem Bildteil

What Do You Care What Other People Think? Further Adventures of a Curious Character is a captivating collection of reminiscences from freewheeling scientific genius Richard P. Feynman.Richard Feynman - Nobel Laureate, teacher and iconic intellect - possessed an unquenchable thirst for an adventure and an unparalleled gift for telling the extraordinary stories of his life.In this collection of short pieces Feynman describes everything from his love of beauty to college pranks to how his father taught him to think. He takes us behind the scenes of the space shuttle Challenger investigation, where he dramatically revealed the cause of the disaster with a simple experiment. And he tells us of how he met his beloved first wife Arlene, and their brief time together before her death. Sometimes intensely moving, sometimes funny, these writings are infused with Feynman's curiosity and passion for life.'Feynman's voice echoes raw and direct through these pages'The New York Times'Outrageously gifted, iconoclastic, irrepressible ... Richard Feynman still has the capacity to suprise'Observer'One of the greatest minds of the twentieth century ... he was also stubborn, irreverent, playful, intensely curious and highly original in practically everything he did'New York Review of Books'If more scientists were like Feynman, the world really would be a better, and better understood, place'Independent on SundayRichard P. Feynman (1918-1988) was one of this century's most brilliant theoretical physicists and original thinkers. Feynman's other books, also available in Penguin, include QED , Six Easy Pieces , Six Not-so-Easy Pieces, Don't You Have Time to Think , The Pleasure of Finding Things Out , What Do You Care What Other People Think? and The Meaning of it All .

I should have asked the question "How could someone who was missing be in two places at once?" Instead, I asked the wrong question -- four wrong questions, more or less. This is the account of the second.§In the fading town of Stain'd-by-the-Sea, young apprentice Lemony Snicket has a new case to solve when he and his chaperone are hired to find a missing girl. Is the girl a runaway? Or was she kidnapped? Was she seen last at the grocery store? Or could she have stopped at the diner? Is it really any of your business? These are All The Wrong Questions.

Before the Baudelaires became orphans, before he encountered A Series of Unfortunate Events, even before the invention of Netflix, Lemony Snicket was a boy discovering the mysteries of the world. In a fading town, far from anyone he knew or trusted, a young Lemony Snicket began his apprenticeship in an organization nobody knows about. He started by asking questions that shouldn't have been on his mind. Now he has written an account that should not be published, in four volumes that shouldn't be read. This is the first volume. Penned in signature style, "Who Could That Be at This Hour?" (also published as All the Wrong Questions: Question 1) invites readers to untangle the mysteries that surround young Lemony Snicket.

Train travel! Murder! Librarians! A Series Finale!§§On all other nights, the train departs from Stain'd Station and travels to the city without stopping. But not tonight. You might ask, why is this night different from all other nights? But that's the wrong question. Instead ask, where is this all heading? And what happens at the end of the line? The final book in Lemony Snicket's bestselling series, All the Wrong Questions.

This book is a revised, updated and expanded edition of #MeToo, Weinstein and Feminism (2019). In this second edition, Boyle argues for the importance of understanding #MeToo in relation to an ongoing history of feminist activism and popular misogyny, which normalises and values men's abuse of women. She considers the consequences of #MeToo for accused men, notably with regards to cancellation practices and criminal justice, drawing on prominent examples such as Harvey Weinstein, R. Kelly, Johnny Depp and Woody Allen, among many others. Two new chapters-on the long #MeToo movement and on survivor testimony-consider #MeToo alongside debates on popular feminism and misogyny in a range of contexts and reflect on the implications of the continued emphasis on survivor testimony in media coverage of sexual harassment and assault. Written by one of the foremost experts in gender, media and violence in the UK, this new edition is essential reading for those interested in feminism and the media, scholars and students alike.

In The $100 Startup , Chris Guillebeau shows you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose - and earn a good living.§§Still in his early thirties, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth - he's already visited more than 175 nations - and yet he's never held a "real job" or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back.§§There are many others like Chris - those who've found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes, achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn't depend on shelving what you currently do. You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to take the real plunge when you're sure it's successful.§§In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he's chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment.§§Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who've learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It's all about finding the intersection between your "expertise" - even if you don't consider it such -- and what other people will pay for. You don't need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid.§§Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris's key principles: if you're good at one thing, you're probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish - sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins.§§In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it's up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

Change your job to change your life You no longer need to work nine-to-five in a big company to pay the mortgage, send your kids to school and afford that yearly holiday. You can quit the rat race and start up on your own - and you don't need an MBA or a huge investment to do it. The $100 Startup is your manual to a new way of living. Learn how to: - Earn as much as you would from a nine-to-five job but on your own terms, when and where you want - Achieve that perfect blend of passion and income to make work something you love - Take crucial insights from 50 ordinary people who started a business with $100 or less - Spend less time working and more time living your life

Not that long ago, though, my business had gotten so bad that I literally couldn’t even give my services away for free. At the end of each month, I would look at my bank account hoping to see progress (but there wasn’t). I knew something had to change...but what? Over the next 48 months, I went from losing money to making $36 for every $1 spent. In that time period, we generated over $120,000,000 across four different industries: service, ecommerce, software, and brick and mortar. But, unlike everyone else, we didn’t have great funnels, great ads, or a wealthy niche. In fact, we didn’t even send emails until we had crossed $50M in sales. Instead, we were able to do this one thing really well: We created offers so good, people felt stupid saying no.

To be a skateboarder today is a much different experience than it was for much of the 1990s. The photographs, quotes, and anecdotal text in '93 til captures a time in skateboarding when making a liveable income as a professional skater was a luxury and public understanding of skateboarding was at an all-time low. It was a time when skateboarding was searching for an identity, a time before Instagram and big corporate influences.Street skating was coming of age, testing its limitations and aligning itself with a new and innovative style of hip-hop culture that was emerging. Looking back, many skaters today feel as though the '90s were the golden years of skateboarding. '93 til is a captivating portal into a decade and a culture that is remembered with warmth and nostalgia.Much of the photography that Pete has unearthed for '93 til was buried in boxes for close to two decades and has never been seen or published before. The 250-page book also contains several timeless images from his years shooting for SLAP and Transworld Skateboarding Magazine that will be familiar to the initiated. In addition to his stunning action shots are plenty of portraits and unguarded, candid moments that span from the late '80s up through 2004.The book reveals a raw, unapologetic perspective of a world that no longer exists. Also included in the book alongside Pete's imagery are quotes and anecdotes from legends like Tony Hawk, Arto Saari, Jamie Thomas, Guy Mariano, Nyjah Huston, Geoff Rowley, Stevie Williams and others.

"Dear Doosie" ist die Anrede des Autors für seinen Leser, mit der er charmant seine Unentschlossenheit umschreibt, sich zwischen dem "Du" und dem "Sie" als Übersetzung des englischen "You" zu entscheiden. In seinen amüsanten, spielerischen und hintergründig ernsten Briefen lässt der Autor den Leser zu seinem ganz persönlichen Englischschüler werden. Deutsch und Englisch sind mit viel Witz und Charme so miteinander verwoben, dass der Leser auf vergnügliche, unterhaltsame Weise - sozusagen nebenbei und "mit Liebe" - eine Menge urechtes Englisch lernt. Dabei entspinnt sich zwischen Autor und Leser, Lehrer und Schüler eine zarte Liebesgeschichte, und die Briefe an Doosie werden immer leidenschaftlichere Liebesbriefe.
