From million-copy bestselling author David Walliams comes his first ever murder mystery - with thrills, spills and laughs galore. Dilly loves a good murder. Not a REAL murder. A made-up murder. One you would find in a murder-mystery novel. Sherlock Holmes is her favourite detective. She even named her dog Watson after his faithful companion, and trained him to sniff out clues and follow trails. So far, Dilly and Watson haven't cracked many cases - beyond lost cats, or missing biscuits that turned out to have been eaten all along. But now the detective duo find themselves on a luxury ocean liner bound for London. A thousand passengers. A thousand miles of ocean around them. It's the perfect place for a murder... Or two. Or three. Or four. Or MORE!
Das Unterrichtsmodell bezieht sich (ab B-Druck ET Mai24) sowohl auf die Textausgabe des Penguin Verlages (ISBN 978-3-328-10251-9) als auch auf die Textausgabe des Reclam Verlages (ISBN 978-3-15-014388-9), sodass dieses mit beiden Textausgaben genutzt werden kann.Die den Bausteinen zugeordneten Arbeitsblätter und die Zusatzmaterialien sind als Webcodes abrufbar.Im Zusatzmaterial des Unterrichtsmodells finden sich neben Materialien zur "Heimsuchung" zusätzlich der Text der Erzählung "Sibirien" mit skizzenhaft didaktischen Hinweisen, wie Erpenbecks frühe Erzählung inhaltlich erarbeitet und motivisch mit ihrem Roman "Heimsuchung" verglichen werden kann, sowie Arbeitsblätter.In Jenny Erpenbecks mit dem renommierten Ingeborg-Bachmann-Preis ausgezeichneter Erzählung "Sibirien" (2001) geht es ganz ähnlich wie in dem später erschienenen Roman "Heimsuchung" um Menschen, die von eben einer solchen Heimsuchung getroffen werden.Auch die erwachsenen Figuren der kurzen Erzählung werden zum Opfer des Krieges, der wie eine schicksalhafte Macht über sie kommt und der sie hilflos ausgesetzt sind.

The Titanic disaster is examined through the experiences of seven officers, revealing their bravery and the mysteries surrounding the tragedy.The disaster which befell RMS Titanic has become one of the most investigated and analysed maritime tragedies of all time. Yet there is much still to be untangled from the web of mystery which still surrounds this confused, catastrophic event.The people on board were proud to be part of the ships highly-publicised first voyage, but as the first batch of officers reported for duty in Belfast to prepare her for her trial trip to Southampton and beyond, they could not have imagined the fate which awaited them. Titanic was, after all, unsinkable.It is exclusively through the eyes of seven unlucky men the small group of officers onboard for that doomed voyage that the author reveals the tragedy as it unfolded that night in April 1912. From their assignment to the White Star liner through to their eventual fates.Each one of these seven men behaved with great courage and discipline in a situation beyond anything they had previously experienced and some of the officers left accounts of the horrors they witnessed. Of this small group, four were members of the Royal Naval Reserve; this included Charles Lightoller, who was the Second Officer and in charge of loading passengers into lifeboats on the port side. He was noted for strictly enforcing the women and children only principle, allowing only those men needed for manning the boats to join them.Four of the seven officers survived the ordeal. As the author reveals, one of them had only been formally appointed to the crew the day before Titanic sailed on its climatic maiden voyage. This was Henry Tingle Wilde, who was scheduled to sail with Titanics sister ship, Olympic, but who was switched to Titanic as the Chief Officer. He reported for duty on the very day the ship departed Southampton. This move meant a reshuffle of the officers and, as only seven officers were deemed necessary, Second Officer David Blair was removed from the crew list and sent ashore. He was certainly the luckiest of all. The unfortunate Wilde went down to the bottom with his ship.Of the many questions asked about that night is that of the fate of Captain Edward Smith. His body was never recovered and it had naturally been assumed that he too had been lost. In Titanics Unlucky Seven, James Bancroft questions if this might not actually be the case. There is evidence that Smith may have survived the sinking, and was seen and spoken to months after the event by a man who had sailed with him, and who had known him personally for most of his life. Certainly, Smith had good reason to disappear into obscurity.For the first time, a clear picture of the incidents, actions and events leading up to and during the sinking of Titanic can be seen through the stories of the seven men in charge that night.

Edmund Hillary: A Biography by Michael Gillis an insightful and illuminating profile of New Zealand mountaineer and explorer Sir Edmund Hillary who made the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953 alongside Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, and went on to dedicate his life's work to building schools and hospitals in the Himalaya. Edmund Hillary A Biography is the story of the New Zealand beekeeper who climbed Mount Everest. A man who against expedition orders drove his tractor to the South Pole; a man honoured around the world for his pioneering climbs yet who collapsed on more than one occasion on a mountain, and a man who gave so much to Nepal yet lost his family to its mountains.The author, Michael Gill, was a close friend of Hillarys for nearly 50 years, accompanying him on many expeditions and becoming heavily involved in Hillarys aid work building schools and hospitals in the Himalaya. During the writing of this book, Gill was granted access to a large archive of private papers and photos that were deposited in the Auckland museum after Hillarys death in 2008. Building on this unpublished material, as well as his extensive personal experience, Michael Gill profiles a man whose life was shaped by both triumph and tragedy.Gill describes the uncertainties of the first 33 years of Hillarys life, during which time he served in the New Zealand air force during the Second World War, as well as the background to the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953, when Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers to reach the summit a feat that brought the pair instant worldwide fame. He reveals the loving relationship Hillary had with his wife Louise, in part through their touching letters to each other. Her importance to him during their 22 years of marriage only underlines the horror of her death, along with that of their youngest daughter, Belinda, in a plane crash in 1975. Hillary eventually pulled out of his subsequent depression to continue his lifes work in the Himalaya.Affectionate, but scrupulously fair, in Edmund Hillary A Biography Michael Gill has gone further than anyone before to reveal the humanity of this remarkable man.
