Paris
The Passenger collects the best new writing, photography, and reportage from around the world. Its aim, to break down barriers and introduce the essence of the place. Packed with essays and investigative journalism; original photography and illustrations; charts, and unusual facts and observations, each volume offers a unique insight into a different culture, and how history has shaped the place into what it is today.
Brimming with intricate research and enduring wonder, The Passenger is a love-letter to global travel.
IN THIS VOLUME, Tash Aw, James McAuley, Samar Yazbek, among other French writers tell of the second largest city of Europe.
The radiance of the "city of lights" can be blinding even for tourists: the clash with the real city, so different from the one depicted in films and books, results in some of them developing the so-called "Paris syndrome." That said, the cracks in the postcard image of the city seem to multiply: terrorist attacks, the demonstrations of the yellow vests, the riots in the suburbs, Notre-Dame in flames, record heatwaves. Meanwhile, soaring living costs are forcing many Parisians to leave the city.
Yet these are not just a series of unfortunate events. They are phenomena-from increasing population density to climate change, from immigration to the repercussions of globalization and geopolitics- that all metropolises in the world must face. And in Paris, today, the mood is not one of defeat but of renewal: from ongoing environmental and urbanistic transformation to the children of immigrants who take to the streets for the right to feel French, and the women determined to break the sexism and stereotypes that dominate the fashion industry. Is there anyone who seriously thinks they can teach Parisians how to stage a revolution?
Wanted! The Job of Your Dreams – Better Career Choice Reorientation Job Application
This is what this book brings you: you support climate protection, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because the demands when choosing a career job search and application are high: interesting and exciting should be the dream job in Spe, but at the same time also safe and with good earnings prospects. But young people in particular often base their career choice on role models, their own parents or what is predicted as job prospects on the labor market. However, this can change more quickly than one might think; firmly established career paths dictated by vocational training are becoming increasingly rare, and the content of many training programs can barely keep pace with technological progress. Therefore, one should reflect on one's own talents and abilities and thus positively highlight the undreamed-of potential of one's own strengths in the application process. In this way, you may find a dream job you hadn't even thought of, and you can always adapt flexibly to an increasingly fast-changing job market, which is also an advantage if you want to change your career later in life. This book shows the opportunities and possibilities in the dream job search as well as obstacles and thus helps to find the right path. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form. Our guidebooks are aimed primarily at beginners. Readers who are looking for more in-depth information can get it for free as an add-on with individual content in German and English as desired. This concept is made possible by a particularly efficient, innovative digital process and Deep Learning, AI systems that use neural networks in translation. The publishing company donates at least 5 percent of its reveniew from book sales to charitable organizations involved in reforestation projects and climate protection - more detailed information on request.

Sleep & Have Success. Serenity as a Career Strategy
This is what this book brings you: you support climate protection, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because in our performance-hungry and stressful working world, composure is clearly underestimated as a career factor. Anyone who doesn't seem so eager to perform is quickly labeled as an unmotivated slacker who, after all, just wants to shirk work. But the opposite is true: the ability to sleep sufficiently long and deeply is an important, but often underestimated factor for health and performance. Many people are under extreme stress, the balancing act between employer and private life overwhelms many, and in the end this also affects sleep. The ever-faster pace of digital development and the increasing pressure to perform and succeed, and to work as flawlessly as possible, do the rest. Burnout is often the result, but it is avoidable: If you don't let yourself lose your cool, you will not only be healthier in the long term, but also more successful at work. This book gives tips and instructions on self-organization and time management and shows how you can successfully defeat stress through good sleep and increase your own energy, motivation and concentration. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance.

Reach & Win your Goals Calmly
This is what this book brings you: You support certified climate protection projects, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because goals make us start with a thing in the first place and get up and continue in case of failure. But as is often the case, first take a deep breath and then hit the ground running. Unfortunately, false ambition has many people too tightly in its grip: They want too much and too fast the wrong thing, but at the same time they lack the ability to develop their own potential. It would often be enough to take a step back and change ingrained behavior patterns, but often enough aggression, conflicts, fear and other negative emotions block the way. It is therefore important not to pursue one's own goals too doggedly and strenuously, but to always remain calm. After all, this also requires the ability to convince other people thanks to charm, rhetorical skills and strategic abilities. So setting goals is important, they just must not seem too big and unattainable, but big enough to be challenging and offer development opportunities. Good goals are smart and feasibility is an important keyword here. Many well-known entrepreneurs and celebrities are united by precisely this point: the ability to develop great visions, to follow them unflinchingly but in a relaxed manner, and also to achieve them. This book shows how this balancing act can be achieved. Good luck and have fun reading. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance.

Because being successful professionally as well as privately, fulfilling one's own wishes, having more money and securing one's prosperity in the long term, who would not like that? The way there leads over the correct attitude, evenly the success Mindset. It's not for nothing that Alibaba founder Jack Ma once said "If you want to change the world, you should start with yourself". And this is what needs to be learned, starting with a confident appearance in business and salary negotiations, through assertiveness in important decisions, to financial background knowledge for investing on the stock market. With the right mindset, the dream of financial freedom and passive income can definitely become a reality. But unfortunately, very few people are really familiar with the subject of investing money and opinions about proper financial planning are as many as experts. It is therefore necessary not to lose the overview in the jungle of financial products. Therefore, it makes sense to deal with one's own asset planning in more detail, after all, savings and thus retirement provisions, which are important for retirement, are only destroyed by inflation.

Humanity and God
On the first Sunday in the year 1903, a few friends were sitting round the fire after supper talking, as preachers will, of sermons and the work of God. The conversation was very frank and brotherly, and turned finally upon my own work. My friends reproached me for ignoring their oft-repeated entreaties that I would publish a volume of sermons. I replied that it had been a fixed rule of my life to regard an open door as an essential element in a call, and for this I had no call. Then I was asked what I would regard as a call of God. I answered at once and without much thought, “An unsolicited request from Hodder and Stoughton.” The subject dropped, as the condition was thought unreasonable. Within twenty-four hours the request came. No one had communicated with the publishers; and there was only one answer possible.The sermons selected were preached from notes as a series in the regular course of my ministry; and afterwards at the Southport Convention, and the Northfield Conference. That explains some omissions and some repetitions. An underlying unity runs through the series, yet each sermon had to be practically complete in itself.It is impossible to make adequate acknowledgment of the sources of my indebtedness. I am sure there is nothing in these pages I have not received. Through an exceptionally busy life I have striven to give attention to reading, and what I have read has passed into the fibre and substance of my work. If I have unconsciously wronged any who have been my helpers and teachers, I shall be sorry to have given so blundering an expression to my appreciation and thanks.I send forth these sermons deeply conscious of their limitations and imperfections. Two things comfort me—a sentence I read many years ago, “A sharp spear needs no polish”; and the fact that every one of these sermons has been blessed of God to many souls. My only prayer concerning them is, that they may be blessed in print as they were blessed in speech, and that Christ’s Name may be glorified.

Hoffman pszichiáter asztalára az úgynevezett nácitlanító bíróságon.Beidézik Franz Dahlert, egy korábbi auschwitzi őrt, és ő a legváratlanabb tanú kihallgatását kéri: Helenáét, aki a táborban az őrizetére bízott fogoly volt, majd később a felesége lett.Andrej Novák, egy újsütetű nácivadász, valamikori auschwitzi rab a vádlott nevét felismerve Dahler bűneinek teljes feltárását követeli, azt állítva, hogy a férfi SS-őrként nemcsak zaklatta Helenát, de most arra használja, hogy megússza a felelősségre vonást.Helena tipikus áldozatnak tűnik: csendes, elnyomott, látszólag tökéletesen a férjétől függ, inkább a vád tanúja lehetne, mint a védelemé.Mikor elkezdi a vallomástételt, dr. Hoffman egyre inkább összezavarodik az előtte kibontakozó kép láttán: egy elkövető, aki állítólag megmentő, és a vádló mint bűnös.Ahogy Hoffman egyre jobban megismeri a szereplőket, kérdésessé válik, hogy épp a legelképzelhetetlenebb szerelmi történetet hallja-e, vagy Helena valami újszerű, névtelen pszichiátriai betegségben szenved, és ez befolyásolja abban, ahogy a múlt történéseit látja.Ellie Midwood USA Today bestsellerszerző és díjnyertes újságíró részben igaz történeten alapuló, pszichológiai kérdéseket boncolgató, izgalmas regénye Auschwitz borzalmaiba és a háború utáni Németország mindennapjaiba enged betekintést, miközben folyamatos találgatásra késztet, hogy vajon mi mozgathatja az egyik vagy a másik felet.

Tyll
Ha Shakespeare ma élne, és regényt írna, az éppolyan volna, mint a Tyll.
Tyll Ulenspiegel, a halhatatlan tréfacsináló a harmincéves háború zűrzavaros időszakában és időszakából teremt karneváli mulatságot. A szórakozott molnárt boszorkányperbe fogják, a fia, Tyll ezután fogadott nővérével útra kel: vásári mutatványosként végigjárja a háború dúlta Európát, mint udvari bolond pedig még a Téli király palotájába is eljut. Vagy mindez csupán a képzelet műve? Az olvasó csak kapkodja a fejét a kalandok végeláthatatlan tükörjátékában, ahol elmosódik a határ fantázia és realitás között, mígnem átveszi az irányítást a mese áradása.
Daniel Kehlmann, a kortárs európai irodalom egyik legjelentősebb szerzője eddigi fő művében elképesztő lendülettel hirdeti, hogy bár az ember meghalhat, az életöröm halhatatlan.

Miklós és Alexandra
Az ifjú orosz trónörökös beleszeret egy német nagyhercegnőbe; nem vágyik másra, csakis arra, hogy vele élhessen békében, nyugalomban, szeretetben. Érzelmei viszonzásra találnak - összeházasodnak. Közben meghal a trónörökös apja, az erős kezű cár. Az új uralkodó, aki a legszívesebben a feleségének és a gyermekeinek élne, nem alkalmas a kormányzásra. A birodalom hanyatlásnak indul; a nép elégedetlen, megjelennek az új eszmék képviselői: felüti a fejét a szocializmus és a kommunizmus.
A házaspárnak négy leánya és egy fia születik. Alekszej cárevics, aki az apja, II. Miklós cár után trónra kerülhet, magában hordozza a hibás gént, amelyet dédanyja, Viktória királynő terjesztett szét népes családjukban. A kisfiú vérzékenységben szenved. A gyermekeiért élő-haló cári pár mindent és bármit megtesz annak érdekében, hogy enyhítsenek Alekszej szenvedésein, és biztosítsák számára a majdani uralkodás lehetőségét.
Mindent és bármit...
Akár arra is képesek, hogy közel eresszenek magukhoz egy szibériai parasztot, akit egyesek sarlatánnak, mások szent embernek, megint mások idegen hatalmak ügynökének tartanak. Miközben a cár - eleget téve családi és szövetségesi kötelezettségeinek - belevezeti Oroszországot az I. világháborúba, a hátországban Alekszandra cárné egyre inkább Raszputyin befolyása alá kerül. A rossz, de legalábbis megkérdőjelezhető döntések hátterében többnyire ez a furcsa ember áll - az ember, aki olyasmire képes, amire senki más: valóban segít a beteg trónörökösön.
Talán örökre titok marad, milyen kapcsolatban állt a birodalmat tévútra térítő Raszputyin, valamint a Svájcban a szocialista forradalmat tervezgető Lenin a császári Németországgal: eszközök voltak csupán, amellyel a németek a félelmetes orosz sereget kívánták megfékezni, amellyel a cári Oroszországot akarták térdre kényszeríteni? Az azonban egyértelmű: ha Alekszej cárevics nem vérzékeny, a cári családnak nincs szüksége Raszputyinra, és ha a monarchia nem lett volna idejétmúlt rendszer, Lenin és társai sem kerülhettek volna előtérbe.
A véletlenek furcsa összjátékának, vagy talán egy körmönfont, ravasz, éveken át előkészített terv sikerének köszönhetően a régi idolok porba hullottak, a rendszer megbukott, és a "nép akaratát" zászlójukra tűző önjelölt vezérek könyörtelen és végleges megoldást választva megszüntették a veszélyt, amelyet a cári család jelenthetett volna vörös rémuralmukra.
A Pulitzer-díjas szerző, Robert K. Massie eredetileg személyes okokból kezdte tanulmányozni Alekszej cárevics életét (az ő fia is vérzékenységben szenvedett), ám ezen a vonalon haladva fokozatosan megismerte, kibontotta, éveken keresztül kutatta a Romanovok történetét.
Liberation Day
The first short story collection in ten years from the Man Booker Prize-winning, New York Times-bestselling author of Lincoln in the Bardo.
MacArthur genius and Booker Prize-winner George Saunders returns with a collection of short stories that make sense of our increasingly troubled world, his first since the New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist Tenth of December.
The 'best short story writer in English' (Time) is back with a masterful collection that explores ideas of power, ethics, and justice, and cuts to the very heart of what it means to live in community with our fellow humans. With his trademark prose - wickedly funny, unsentimental, and perfectly tuned - Saunders continues to challenge and surprise: here is a collection of prismatic, deeply resonant stories that encompass joy and despair, oppression and revolution, bizarre fantasy and brutal reality.
'Love Letter' is a tender missive from grandfather to grandson, in the midst of a dystopian political situation in the not-too-distant future, that reminds us of our obligations to our ideals, ourselves, and each other. 'Ghoul' is set in a Hell-themed section of an underground amusement park in Colorado, and follows the exploits of a lonely, morally complex character named Brian, who comes to question everything he takes for granted about his 'reality.' In 'Mother's Day', two women who loved the same man come to an existential reckoning in the middle of a hailstorm. And in 'Elliott Spencer', our eighty-nine-year-old protagonist finds himself brainwashed - his memory 'scraped' - a victim of a scheme in which poor, vulnerable people are reprogrammed and deployed as political protesters.
Together, these nine subversive, profound, and essential stories coalesce into a case for viewing the world with the same generosity and clear-eyed attention as Saunders does, even in the most absurd of circumstances.
Chernobyl
The gripping story of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that marked the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union from an acclaimed historian and writer
On the morning of 26 April 1986 Europe witnessed the worst nuclear disaster in history: the explosion of a reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Soviet Ukraine. The outburst put the world on the brink of nuclear annihilation. In the end, less than five percent of the reactor's fuel escaped, but that was enough to contaminate over half of Europe with radioactive fallout.
In Chernobyl, Serhii Plokhy recreates these events in all of their drama, telling the stories of the firefighters, scientists, engineers, workers, soldiers, and policemen who found themselves caught in a nuclear Armageddon and succeeded in doing the seemingly impossible: extinguishing the nuclear inferno and putting the reactor to sleep. While it is clear that the immediate cause of the accident was a turbine test gone wrong, Plokhy shows how the deeper roots of Chernobyl lay in the nature of the Soviet political system and the flaws of its nuclear industry. A little more than five years later, the Soviet Union would fall apart, destroyed from within by its unsustainable communist ideology and the dysfunctional managerial and economic systems laid bare in the wake of the disaster.
A poignant, fast paced account of the drama of heroes, perpetrators, and victims, Chernobyl is the definitive history of the world's worst nuclear disaster.
