Yummy

An einem heißen Augusttag soll der elfjährige Yummy in eine Gang aufgenommen werden. Doch die Initiation geht gründlich schief: Eine Kugel, die für einen verfeindeten Gangster bestimmt war, tötet stattdessen ein unschuldiges Mädchen. Von der Polizei verfolgt, versteckt sich Yummy - bis seine Gang eines Nachts beschließt, dass das Versteckspiel nun schon lange genug dauert. Yummys ehemaliger Klassenkamerad Roger versucht, einen Sinn in diese schockierenden Ereignisse zu bringen. War Yummy wirklich ein Monster? Oder einfach nur ein Junge, der irgendwo auf den falschen Weg gekommen ist? Die Geschichte basiert auf Ereignissen, die sich 1994 in Chicago zugetragen haben.

Nadir, Ou, Thamas-Kouli-Kan

Nadir, Ou, Thamas-Kouli-Kan is a dramatic tragedy by Pierre Ulric Dubuisson, published in 1781. The play centers on Nadir Shah, also known as Tahmasp Qoli Khan, a powerful figure in Persian history. This historical drama, written in French, explores themes of power, ambition, and the tragic consequences of leadership. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century Persia, Dubuisson's work offers a glimpse into a turbulent period of Middle Eastern history through the lens of classical tragedy. Scholars and enthusiasts of French literature and historical drama will find this work a compelling exploration of a complex historical figure and the timeless themes of human conflict.

1. Andre , Dubus

Meditations from a Movable Chair

The twenty-five luminous and intensely personal essays in this collection are, like Andre Dubus's celebrated short stories, a testament to the author's vulnerability, vision, and indestructible faith. Since losing one leg and the use of the other in a 1986 accident, Dubus has experienced despair, learned acceptance, and, finally, found joy in the sacramental magic of even the most quotidian tasks.Whether he is writing of the relationship with his father, the rape of his beloved sister, his Catholic faith, the suicide of a gay naval officer, his admiration for fellow writers like Hemingway and Mailer, or the simple act of making sandwiches for his daughters' lunchboxes, Dubus cuts straight to the heart of things. Here we have a master at the height of his powers, an artist whose work "is suffused with grace, bathed in a kind of spiritual glow" (The New York Times Book Review).
