Silvia of Sweden delights people of the whole world with her responsive manner. The magazines are full with reports and photos of her and her family every week. The reporter from court Norbert Loh has written a very personal biography. He got to know the Queen of Sweden, when she was still called Silvia Sommerlath and experienced her fabulous ascent from Olympia-hostess to the wife of King Carl Gustav. Norbert Loh has reported on European royalty for 30 years for the magazine Die Aktuelle. In a fi eld full of scandalmongers, Loh is proud of his reputation as a reputable, reliable correspondent. Norbert Loh Felipe and Letizia – The Crowning Moment of a Love 240 pages, 3-426-27342-X May 2004 The second aristocratic biography by the well know reporter from court – on a topical occasion The early summer of 2004 was marked by a very special event for the fans of the European royal dynasties: On the 22 nd of May crown prince Felipe of Spain married his bourgeois bride Letizia Ortiz. What might have turned out scandalously, aroused very much happiness – even by the puritanical Spaniards. Letizia, a modern young Spaniard, TV-reporter and daughter of a normal family is considered to be the ideal choice of Felipe. Such a magical love story simply has to be retold in a book. The biography by the well known reporter from court traces the very different lifes of Letizia and Felipe up to now. It reports on their unromantic fi rst meeting on the occasion of the Spanish oil tanker disaster and most of all on the very romantic secret love story, which culminated in a fairytale wedding. Norbert Loh Rainier of Monaco – A Prince and his Family 300 pages, 3-426-66173-X November 2005 No royal family has as much to tell about as the Grimaldis of Monaco September 1982: Prince Rainier of Monaco and Princess Grace Patricia take a stroll in the garden of the Grimaldi Palace to talk about the just-completed Red Cross Ball and about the future of Princess Stephanie. Princess Grace wants to travel to the country with her daughter for a few days to speak to her in confi dence. Prince and Princess say goodbye – and will never see each other again... Grace’s tragic car accident left an indelible mark on the court of Monaco. Norbert Loh begins his book with this event, and proceeds to tell the exciting story of the Grimaldis in the chapters of this fully illustrated book. The reader can relive the sensational romance between prince and movie star, but there’s also much about the up-and-down life of the three children Albert, Caroline, and Stephanie: why Stephanie relishes the role of the “bad girl,” why Albert doesn’t want to talk about marriage, and why Princess Grace favored Prince Ernst August as a potential husband for Caroline. An extremely popular Prince and his small country full of glamour and scandal, love and sorrow are brought to life in these pages.
Michael Hesemann/Yuliya Tkachova Benedetto! – Benedikt XVI. The Church is young 240 pages, 3-629-02104-2 July 2005 An ideal gift for the adolescents intending to work on Christian belief anew When Pope John Paul II. died, the young people in the world mourned for him most. Thousands of adolescents waited for the new pope. Benedikt XVI. a close friend of John Paul II. took by storm the hearts of the young people with his modest and nice manner – “Benedetto, Benedetto!” they shouted on the Petersplatz. One million young people are expected for the “Weltjugendtag” (World Youth Day) in Cologne this year. The new pope has already explained that he places all his hopes in this new generation of Christians. The author takes up this point in his book introducing the adolescents to the person and the message of the pope in a gripping way. The path through life of the man of Marktl upon Inn is told in a suitable style for young readers and they even have their say with both their enthusiasm for Benedetto and their critical inquiries of the pope. Bestselling author Michael Hesemann gained an international reputation from his research into Christian relics. He has lectured at the Pontifi cal Lateran University on his studies and has had several personal audiences with the pope. Yuliya Tkachova studies history and political science in Germany. Bernhard Meuser Benedict XVI – Our Pope A Portrait 64 pages, 3-629-02133-6 May 2005 Translation rights sold to Poland An early look at the new pope On April 19, 2005, the world received news of a true sensation: after almost 500 years, a German was once again seated on the Cathedra Petri. Cardinal Josef Ratzinger, the closest confi dant of the great Pope John Paul II, was chosen by the cardinals from all around the world to ascend to the papacy. Who is this man, who as Pope Benedict XVI has won over the hearts of the people with his modest manner? This book offers an exciting portrait of an unusual man, a great theologian, and a close friend of John Paul II. It examines early indications of what might happen during his papacy, taking a look at his previous writings and his position on issues such as the battle over the Church’s future direction, the dialogue with other Christian denominations and other world religions. A memento of the papal election and a philosophic and theological appreciation of the leader of the Catholic Church. Bernhard Meuser is publishing director of Pattloch and the author of many books on religious topics. He was awarded the Catholic Journalism Prize in 1989. RELIGIOUS ISSUES 15 Johannes Paul II/Bernhard Meuser I Am Happy – You Should Be Too! The Testament of John Paul II 64 pages, 3-629-02131-X April 2005 Unforgettable photos and words from John Paul II “Pope of the Century,” “God’s Marathon Man,” and “Master of the Art of Diplomacy” are just a few of the titles that the media have given the great man of the Church, and which we will remember just as we recall the legacy he has left behind. With his words to the world, Pope John Paul II gave us profound insight into his soul and into his great trust in God’s leadership. In the same hopeful and determined way as the newly elected pope Karol Wojtyla once called to his people “Non abbiate paura” – “Do not be afraid!” even his fi nal words and his testament called for courage and faith in one’s beliefs: “I am happy. You should be too!” “My name is Karol!” he had shouted to Filipino teenagers in 1995 on his visit to Manila, and in doing so captured the hearts of more than just those youths. He will also be remembered for his fervent attempt to speak to the waiting crowds despite his serious illness, if not with words, then with gestures of God’s blessing.
