Censorship of one form or another has existed almost as long as the written word, while definitions of what is deemed "acceptable" in published works have shifted over the centuries, and from culture to culture.
Banned Books explores why some of the world's most important literary classics and seminal non-fiction titles were once deemed too controversial for the public to read - whether for challenging racial or sexual norms, satirizing public figures, or simply being deemed unfit for young readers. From the banning of All Quiet on the Western Front and the repeated suppression of On the Origin of the Species, to the uproar provoked by Lady Chatterley's Lover, entries offer a fascinating chronological account of censorship, and the astonishing role that some banned books have played in changing history.
Packed with eye-opening insights into the history of the written word, and the political and social climate during the period of suppression or censorship, this is a must-read for anyone interested in literature, creative writing, politics, history, or law.

Guarded by Dragons
Rick Gekoski has been traversing the rocky terrain of the rare book trade for over fifty years. The treasure he seeks is scarce, carefully buried and often jealously guarded, knowledge of its hiding place shared through word of mouth like the myths of old.
In Guarded by Dragons, Gekoski invites readers into this enchanted world as he reflects on the gems he has unearthed throughout his career. He takes us back to where his love of collecting began - perusing D.H. Lawrence first editions in a slightly suspect Birmingham carpark. What follows are dizzying encounters with literary giants as Gekoski publishes William Golding, plays ping-pong with Salman Rushdie and lunches with Graham Greene. A brilliant stroke of luck sees Sylvia Plath's personal copy of The Great Gatsby fall into Gekoski's lap, only for him to discover the perils of upsetting a Poet Laureate when Ted Hughes demands its return.
Hunting for literary treasure is not without its battles and Gekoski boldly breaks the cardinal rule never to engage in a lawsuit with someone much richer than yourself, while also guarding his bookshop from the most unlikely of thieves. The result is an unparalleled insight into an almost mythical world where priceless first editions of Ulysses can vanish, and billionaires will spend as much gold as it takes to own the manuscript of J.K. Rowling's Tales of Beedle the Bard.
Engaging, funny and shrewd, Guarded by Dragons is a fascinating discussion on value and worth. At the same time, Gekoski artfully reveals how a manuscript can tell a thousand stories.

A
nagyapámnak, aki örökre Auschwitzban maradt
Auschwitzban
több mint húsz éve nem száll fel kékesfekete kormos füst a
krematóriumok magas, ívelt kéményein át. A barakkok, őrtornyok,
börtönbunkerek, gázkamrák között gaz és fű nő. A
kivégzéseknek, elgázosításoknak, likvidálásoknak,
szelektálásoknak vége. Már nem érkeznek új transzportok, az
őrházak üresek, a raktárakba nem kerül új holmi. A halál, a
szenvedés, a gyilkolás színhelyére ráborult a magány és az
emlékezés. Azok közül akik átélték mindazt a poklot, amit ez a
csendes hely magában rejt, már alig-alig él valaki. A halottak
kékesfekete gőzként térnek vissza a táborokba, hogy az idők
végezetéig el ne szabadulhassanak...

Revenge
The British Royal Family believed that the dizzy success of the Sussex wedding, watched and celebrated around the world, was the beginning of a new era for the Windsors. Yet, within one tumultuous year, the dream became a nightmare, with the infamous Megxit split and bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview. In the aftermath, and with the recent passing of the Queen, the Royal Family's fate seems persistently threatened.
The public remains puzzled. Meghan's success has alternatively won praise, bewildered and outraged. Confused by the Sussexes' slick publicity, few understand the real Meghan Markle. What lies ahead for Meghan? And what has happened to the family she married into? Can the Windsors restore their reputation under a new monarch?
With extensive research, expert sourcing and interviews from insiders who have never spoken before, Tom Bower, Britain's leading investigative biographer, unpicks the tangled web of courtroom drama, courtier politics and thwarted childhood dreams to uncover an astonishing story of love, betrayal, secrets and revenge.
The Contrarian
A biography of venture capitalist and entrepreneur Peter Thiel, the enigmatic, controversial and hugely influential power broker who sits at the dynamic intersection of tech, business and politics
Since the days of the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s, no industry has made a greater global impact than Silicon Valley. And few individuals have done more to shape Silicon Valley than billionaire venture capitalist and entrepreneur Peter Thiel. From the technologies we use every day to the delicate power balance between Silicon Valley, Wall Street and Washington, Thiel has been a behind-the-scenes operator influencing countless aspects of contemporary life. But despite his power and the ubiquity of his projects, no public figure is quite so mysterious.
In the first major biography of Thiel, Max Chafkin traces the trajectory of the innovator's singular life and worldview, from his upbringing as the child of immigrant parents and years at Stanford as a burgeoning conservative thought leader to his founding of PayPal and Palantir, early investment in Facebook and SpaceX, and relationships with fellow tech titans Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Eric Schmidt. The Contrarian illuminates the extent to which Thiel has sought to export his values to the corridors of power beyond Silicon Valley, such as funding the lawsuit that bankrupted the blog Gawker to strenuously backing far-right political candidates, including Donald Trump for president.
Eye-opening and deeply reported, The Contrarian is a revelatory biography of a one-of-a-kind leader and an incisive portrait of a tech industry whose explosive growth and power is both thrilling and fraught with controversy.
Sam aus dem Meer - Sammelband 1
Was würdest du tun, wenn dir ein Wesen begegnet, das nicht existieren dürfte?Endlich wieder da! Die beliebte Serie um SAM, den Jungen aus dem Meer!Die sechzehnjährige Laine Cunnings liebt das Meer und seine Geschöpfe über alles, aber niemals hätte sie sich vorstellen können, dass ein Ausflug mit ihrer Klasse ihr ganzes Leben verändern wird. In einer Höhle am Strand entdeckt Laine einen hübschen Jungen und freundet sich mit ihm an, in der Annahme, dass er von zu Hause weggelaufen ist. Zuerst will Laine ihren Vater zu Hilfe holen, der beim Jugendamt arbeitet, aber dann findet sie das Unglaubliche heraus: Sam, der niedliche, etwas weltfremde Junge, ist ein Meereswesen! Laine begreift, dass sie Sams Existenz absolut geheimhalten muss, aber ihr neuer Meeresfreund hat bereits seine Spuren in der Menschenwelt hinterlassen ...Dieses Ebook enthält Band 1 (Sam aus dem Meer) und Band 2 (Sam aus dem Meer - Seelennöte) als illustrierte Neufassung.Leseprobe :Sie suchte nach ihrem Handy, aktivierte die Taschenlampenfunktion und richtete den schwachen Lichtstrahl aufs Wasser. Sam schlief nahe am Ufer direkt unter der Wasseroberfläche. Die Umwandlung schien abgeschlossen. Statt seiner Beine konnte Laine den blausilbernen Fischkörper im Wasser sehen. Sam war sicher vor Erschöpfung eingeschlafen und sie selbst auch. Laine streckte sich und erwischte seine Hand. Vorsichtig zog sie ihn ans Ufer und hob seinen Kopf aus dem Wasser.»Sam«, sagte sie leise. »Du musst aufwachen.«Sam hustete kurz und sog die Luft ein. Er öffnete die Augen.»Wir sind eingeschlafen, Sam. Du musst dich verstecken. Du kannst unter deinem Felsen weiterschlafen.«Sam nickte müde. »Ja, danke«, murmelte er und sank ins Wasser zurück. Laine leuchtete ihm nach mit ihrem Handy und sah, wie er sich unter den Felsvorsprung zurückzog. Laine überlegte kurz, ob sie den Weg zum Camp tatsächlich noch antreten sollte, entschied sich dann aber dagegen. Sie holte sich Sams Decke und wickelte sich ein. Sie wollte einfach nur in seiner Nähe sein. Bill saß wieder auf dem Fahrersitz seines Wagens. Seine Hand zitterte ein bisschen, aber er hatte sich im Griff, als er das Handyvideo wieder und wieder ansah. Die Kamera glitt langsam über Sams Körper, der im flachen Wasser lag. Die blausilberne Fluke, der fischartige Körper, der so gebogen war, dass es sich unmöglich um einen Fake handeln konnte. Es gab keine Knie. Und dann hatte Bill noch geistesgegenwärtig nah auf Sams Kiemen gezoomt. Auch im Nachhinein fand Bill die Kiemen fast am überzeugendsten. Man konnte deutlich sehen, wie Sam Wasser hindurchpumpte. So was konnte keiner vortäuschen. Unglaublich. Laine war mit einem verdammten Mutanten liiert.Bill dachte nach. Was sollte er jetzt tun mit diesem überwältigenden Beweis in der Hand? Zur Presse gehen? Im Internet hochladen? Nein. Er durfte diesen Trumpf nicht leichtfertig verspielen. Er musste jetzt schnell und überlegt handeln. Wer wusste schon, ob Sam morgen nicht einfach wieder im Meer verschwand. Die Frage war, wie lange Laine schon von diesem Fischjungen wusste und wem sie es erzählt hatte. Sie machten dieses dämliche Klassencamp und die Vermutung lag nahe, dass Laine den Menschenfisch hier zum ersten Mal gesehen hatte. Bill ertappte sich dabei zu mutmaßen, wie stark sich ihr Gefühl zu dem Fischjungen wohl in den paar Tagen entwickelt haben konnte. Dann zwang er sich wieder, an das Wesentliche zu denken. Es ging hier schließlich um mehr, auch wenn die Eifersucht zusätzlich an ihm nagte. Wahrscheinlich fand Laine es richtig super, dass ihr Freund ein Mutant war. Bestimmt kam sie sich jetzt ganz besonders vor, dass sie den Monstermensch gezähmt hatte und so weiter. Frauen standen ja auf so was. Bill grübelte und ging wieder seine Optionen durch.Und dann keimte in ihm eine Idee. Eine Idee, die zumindest zwei seiner Probleme lösen würde.
