Am Samstag gehen die Mädchen in den Wald und jagen Sachen in die Luft
Eine erste Liebe zwischen Festhalten und Vernichten, Aussterben und Weiterleben Es brennt. In den Wäldern und auf den Screens. Die 15-jährige Era lebt mit ihrer Mutter am Waldrand und versucht dem schleichenden Prozess der Zerstörung etwas entgegenzusetzen, indem sie das Aussterben der Vögel dokumentiert. In einem Stream beobachtet sie ihre Mitschülerin Maja und deren Schwester Merle, die auf der benachbarten Lichtung Festplatten in die Luft jagen. Maja ist die Tochter zweier Momfluencerinnen, die versucht, die Erinnerungen an eine öffentliche Kindheit auszulöschen. Während Era Notizbücher führt, Zeichnungen anfertigt und all das Wissen, auf das sie Zugriff hat, zu ordnen versucht, bildet Maja eine zerstörerische Gegenkraft. Dennoch sind Era und Maja verbunden in ihrer Suche nach Intimität und analogen Reizen. Während die Turteltaube ausstirbt, verlieben die beiden sich ineinander. Aber nicht nur die Vögel sind bedroht: Als ein großflächiger Brand den Wald zerstört, verlieren auch die Mädchen einen bedeutenden Teil ihres Lebensraums. Souverän und klug überzeugt Sironic mit einer neuen literarischen Stimme. 'Eine wilde, witzige, weise Expedition in unsere Zukunft.' Julia von Lucadou, Autorin von Die Hochhausspringerin 'Ein dichtes und vielschichtiges Debüt, dessen rund 200 Seiten in Nullkommanichts weg gelesen sind, aber umso länger nachhallen und zum Nachdenken anregen.' Alexandra Friedrich, NDR 'Unruhig, einfallsreich, konfliktfreudig und komisch hält uns dieses Buch durch seine Geistesgegenwart bis zur letzten Seite in Atem.' Jury des Deutschen Buchpreises 2025

Five Weeks in a Balloon
Five Weeks in a Balloon tells the tale of three Englishmen who attempt to cross Africa, from east to west, in a balloon. Dr. Ferguson is the rational scientist leading the trio, accompanied by loyal sidekick Joe and the doctor's sporting friend Kennedy.The three embark on many adventures: They encounter natives and dangerous animals, experience problems with their ballooning technology, and struggle with the winds and the weather. Throughout the novel, the author liberally sprinkles descriptions of flora, fauna, and geography, as seen through nineteenth century eyes.Though this is Verne's first published book, he already demonstrates much of the formula that drive his later works: the well-defined characters led by a rational scientist, the focus on science and technology, and of course the adventure-filled plot.The novel, first published in 1863, was topical for its time, as European interest in African exploration was strong. At the time the book was published, David Livingstone was midst-exploration in south-east Africa, and Burton and Speke had recently returned from exploring the Great Lakes region. The novel itself contains many references to actual expeditions that would have been current or recent for the original readers of the novel.

An Antarctic Mystery
An Antarctic Mystery follows Mr. Jeorling, a wealthy American naturalist whose research has led him to the remote Kerguelen Islands, located in the southern Indian Ocean. Jeorling begins his adventure on the Halbrane after being admitted aboard by the reluctant captain Len Guy, who believes the events in The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym to be true. In that novel, Pym persuades Len Guy's brother, William Guy, to lead a voyage to the Antarctic. But the expedition ends in failure when William Guy, his crew, and his ship, the Jane, disappear under mysterious circumstances. Captain Len Guy convinces Jeorling to aid in the search for his brother, and the two embark on an expedition south to the Antarctic in search of the previous voyage's survivors.Despite the fact that Jules Verne's work was published over fifty years after Pym, the events in the novel take place only one year after the disappearance of the Jane.

Michael Strogoff
Jules Verne is perhaps best known for his science fiction stories, and Michael Strogoff breaks that mold. It's a true-to-life tale of the titular character's journey across Siberia to deliver an important message to the brother of the Russian Czar.Like other of Verne's works, Strogoff encounters many colorful characters along the way, and together they create a vivid depiction of the harsh life in Russo-Siberia, as well as the resilient spirit of its inhabitants. The attention to detail and the accuracy of both the physical and geographical depictions of Siberia was noted by contemporaries, though it's also said that Verne took some dramatic license in recreating some of the historical events.Contemporary critics agreed that Michael Strogoff is a thrilling tale of the strength of men, of patriotism, and of the devotion of one human being to another. Modern critics consider it to be one of Verne's best novels.
