Tildas Tage sind strikt durchgetaktet: studieren, an der Supermarktkasse sitzen, sich um ihre kleine Schwester Ida kümmern und an schlechten Tagen auch um die Mutter. Zu dritt wohnen sie im traurigsten Haus der Fröhlichstraße in einer Kleinstadt, die Tilda hasst. Ihre Freunde sind längst weg, leben in Amsterdam oder Berlin, nur Tilda ist geblieben. Denn irgendjemand muss für Ida da sein, Geld verdienen, die Verantwortung tragen. Nennenswerte Väter gibt es keine, die Mutter ist alkoholabhängig. Eines Tages aber geraten die Dinge in Bewegung: Tilda bekommt eine Promotion in Berlin in Aussicht gestellt, und es blitzt eine Zukunft auf, die Freiheit verspricht. Und Viktor taucht auf, der große Bruder von Ivan, mit dem Tilda früher befreundet war. Viktor, der genau wie sie immer 22 Bahnen schwimmt. Doch als Tilda schon beinahe glaubt, es könnte alles gut werden, gerät die Situation zu Hause vollends außer Kontrolle.'22 Bahnen' ist eine raue und gleichzeitig zärtliche Geschichte über die Verheerungen des Familienlebens und darüber, wie das Glück zu finden ist zwischen Verantwortung und Freiheit.»Caroline Wahl findet das Besondere im Alltäglichen und das Tröstliche im Schmerzvollen.

Ha-Joon Chang's "23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism" turns received economic wisdom on its head to show you how the world really works. In this revelatory book, Ha-Joon Chang destroys the biggest myths of our times and shows us an alternative view of the world, including: there's no such thing as a 'free' market Globalization isn't making the world richer; we don't live in a digital world - the washing machine has changed lives more than the internet; poor countries are more entrepreneurial than rich ones; higher paid managers don't produce better results; and we don't have to accept things as they are any longer. Ha-Joon Chang is here to show us there's a better way. "Lively, accessible and provocative ...read this book". (Sunday Times). "A witty and timely debunking of some of the biggest myths surrounding the global economy".("Observer"). "The new kid on the economics block...Chang's iconoclastic attitude has won him fans". (Independent on Sunday). "Lucid ...audacious ...increasingly influential ...will provoke physical symptoms of revulsion if you are in any way involved in high finance". ("Guardian"). "Important ...persuasive ...an engaging case for a more caring era of globalization".("Financial Times"). "A must-read ...incisive and entertaining". ("New Statesman Books of the Year"). Ha-Joon Chang is a Reader in the Political Economy of Development at the University of Cambridge. He is author of "Kicking Away the Ladder: Development Strategy in Historical Perspective", which won the 2003 Gunnar Myrdal Prize, and "Bad Samaritans: Rich Nations", "Poor Policies" and the "Threat to the Developing World". Since the beginning of the 2008 economic crisis, he has been a regular contributor to the "Guardian", and a vocal critic of the failures of our economic system.

Together with Pierre Baillot and Rodolphe Kreutzer, Pierre Rode founded the important Franco-Belgian violin school at the end of the eighteenth century. Celebrated throughout Europe, this violinist gives impressive testament to his technique with his "24 Caprices en Forme d'Études" in all keys. While concentrating completely on studying technical phenomena, he created valuable compositions that recall Paganini's pieces of the same name. To this day, the "Caprices" are a milestone in every violinist's education (conservatory level). For the first time, G. Henle Publishers' Urtext edition clarifies in detail the matter of the source situation (first edition and revised edition) and offers the musical text in the "definitive version" with all historical notations. As a Rode specialist of the first order, violinist Friedemann Eichhorn assisted with the preparation of this edition and contributed fingering and bowing suggestions ideal for contemporary violin instruction.

L’Art dans toute sa puissanceVéritable esthète, le commissaire-priseur Hervé Poulain est également un passionné de vitesse et de course automobile. Jeune pilote amateur, il rêvait depuis toujours de participer aux 24 Heures du Mans et pensait ce rêve inaccessible… jusqu’au jour où il fit part à la direction de BMW Motorsport de son idée de promouvoir l’art en confiant l’habillage de voitures de course à des artistes contemporains. Le constructeur allemand fut séduit par le projet est proposa de fournir une de ses 3.0 CSL à la condition qu’aucun autre sponsor ne soit présent sur la carrosserie et que BMW reste propriétaire de la voiture après la course. C’est ainsi qu’en 1975 est né le concept des « Art cars », avec une première voiture peinte par Alexander Calder qui fit sensation lors de l’épreuve mancelle. Les années suivantes, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein ou encore Andy Warhol succèderont à Calder et, même si aucune voiture ne montera sur le podium, cela reste une immense victoire pour Hervé Poulain qui a réussi son pari : associer la compétition, le design et l’art. Véritables œuvres d’art roulantes, ces pièces uniques sont aujourd’hui conservées au Musée BMW à Munich. Préfacé par Hervé Poulain, ce onzième album consacré aux 24 Heures du Mans en bande dessinée revient sur un projet visionnaire l’année même où BMW fait son grand retour au Mans avec une nouvelle Art Car réalisée par l’artiste éthiopienne Julie Mehretu.

For well over a century, the G. Schirmer edition of 24 Italian Songs & Arias of the 17th and 18th Centuries has introduced millions of beginning singers to serious Italian vocal literature. Offered in two accessible keys suitable for all singers, it is likely to be the first publication a voice teacher will ask a first-time student to purchase. The classic Parisotti realizations result in rich, satisfying accompaniments which allow singers pure musical enjoyment. For ease of practice, carefully prepared accompaniments are also available that were recorded by John Keene, a New York-based concert accompanist and vocal coach who has performed throughout the United States for radio and television. Educated at the University of Southern California, Keene has taught accompanying at the university level and collaborated with Gian Carlo Menotti and Thea Musgrave on productions of their operas.

Alexander Scriabin occupies a special position among the Russian piano composers around the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. Already in his early works, he went beyond the Chopinesque traditions of his contemporaries Glazunov and Rachmaninoff. As he also did in his innumerable preludes, of which he brought together 24 in his op. 11, allowing for each major and minor key. However, in spite of keeping to the strict order of the circle of fifths, he took care to ensure that "each prelude is a small composition which can exist self-contained, independent of the other preludes". By comparing the autograph and the first edition of 1897, this Henle Urtext edition has corrected a number of errors and inaccuracies. A grandiose work which should belong in the repertoire of every pianist!
Dont, Kreutzer, Rode: three of the most prominent violin pedagogues of the nineteenth century are united here in one volume. At the outset of the nineteenth century, Rodolphe Kreutzer and Pierre Rode each composed epochal collections of studies (see HN 1177 and HN 1186); in 1852, as an introduction to these two standard works, Jakob Dont wrote his exceptionally helpful 24 Preparatory Exercises op. 37, which even today no student of the violin can avoid. Their success is also evident from the fact that numerous revised editions were published in the twentieth century by violinists such as Hans Sitt, Carl Flesch, or Ivan Galamian. Now for the first time, G. Henle Publishers' Urtext edition restores access to the unadulterated original with Dont's authentic fingering and bowing suggestions, in an outstandingly legible musical text. The prominent violin pedagogue Paul Roczek acted as a consultant for this edition and carefully supplemented Dont's original marking.
