When the first snow falls, people<br />

withdraw into their houses and<br />

hibernate like animals. But Robert,<br />

Annina and Kudowski, all three<br />

stranded in the small village of<br />

Waldesruh, stay awake and set off,<br />

leaving the village behind them.<br />

In a black Suzuki Samurai they drive<br />

through a white country in the grip<br />

of winter. It is the country they know,<br />

and yet it is different. The silence of<br />

the houses and the closed shutters tell<br />

a story of deep dreams, and there is<br />

hardly a person to be seen on the streets.<br />

The three travellers do not know each<br />

other well. Chance has brought them<br />

together – each with his or her own story<br />

and secrets – and their journey through<br />

the snow towards the South turns out<br />

to be taking them somewhere where it<br />

is not just winter that comes to an end.<br />

Benjamin Lebert has written a poetic<br />

novel about friendship and about ways<br />

of defying coldness.<br />

Max is fifteen, lives with his father<br />

on Lake Starnberg, and is far more<br />

interested in butterflies and beetles<br />

than in girls. At the beginning of the<br />

summer holidays, his life becomes<br />

more than he can handle.<br />

Since his mother disappeared, nothing<br />

has been the same for Max. He buries<br />

himself in his book, Wonderful Insects, or<br />

retreats to the ‘Island of the Blessed’ in the<br />

lake. But at the beginning of the summer<br />

holidays, urgent problems force him to<br />

face up to life. His best friend wants to<br />

win the favour of the class beauty and<br />

makes Max the accomplice of a crazy<br />

plan. Most of all, Max is worried about<br />

his architect father, who has recently<br />

been painting over his wife’s artworks<br />

in fits of mania. There’s nothing for it –<br />

if he is to find peace again, Max is going<br />

to have to disturb a closely guarded<br />

family taboo.<br />

Once again Andrea Maria Schenkel has<br />

turned an historic murder case into a<br />

breathtakingly exciting crime novel.<br />

A small village in the middle of the<br />

Bavarian Forest, 1944. The young and<br />

beautiful Afra is pregnant and returns<br />

to the restrictions of the parental home<br />

she had left years before to seek her<br />

fortune elsewhere. Driven away for being<br />

a Franzosenschickse, a German girl who<br />

sleeps with the French soldiers, she now<br />

has no choice but to return to her parents,<br />

strict believers living in poverty, who<br />

are ashamed of their daughter. When<br />

Albert is born, scarcely a day goes by<br />

without a row. In the small village in the<br />

Bavarian Forest, the voices talking about<br />

the cottagers and their sluttish daughter<br />

grow louder and louder. And then one<br />

day Afra is fo<strong>und</strong> dead, lying covered<br />

in blood in the sparsely furnished living<br />

room…<br />

‘It must be a certain strangeness in Schenkel’s own life which<br />

enables her to focus on the dark side of her characters. Nothing<br />

escapes her alert, green eyes. (...) She creates a distance which<br />

protects her language and settings from the banality of folksy<br />

regional crime novels.’<br />

Der Spiegel<br />

‘Empathy is a rarity, and only few people know how to arouse it<br />

in us as well as Andrea Maria Schenkel.’<br />

<strong>Die</strong> Zeit<br />

Andrea Maria Schenkel<br />

was born in 1962 and lives in Regensburg. Her sensational first novel Tannöd (Tannod)<br />

was published in 2006. It received the Deutscher Krimi Preis, the Friedrich-Glauser-<br />

Preis and the Corine in 2007, and the Martin Beck Award for the best international<br />

crime novel in 2008. The book sold over a million copies, was translated into twenty<br />

languages and made into a cinema film. For her second book, Kalteis (Ice Cold), 2007,<br />

she was awarded the Deutscher Krimi Preis for the second time running. Her most<br />

recent publication was Bunker (2009).<br />

Wiesbaden is groaning <strong>und</strong>er a<br />

heatwave and a cunning rapist is<br />

speading fear and terror in the town.<br />

Four women have already fallen victim<br />

to him.<br />

It soon becomes clear to the detectives<br />

Winnie Heller and Hendrik Verhoeven<br />

why the serial rapist is being described<br />

as an ‘artiste’ in the press: he is an adept<br />

at spying on women and infiltrating<br />

himself into their homes unnoticed. All<br />

the stranger then, the inconsistencies<br />

of the most recent case, in which the<br />

victim’s husband was shot dead. Why<br />

doesn’t the young Russian woman fit<br />

into the artiste’s pattern of victims? And<br />

how could the meticulous schemer let<br />

himself be caught by her husband? The<br />

investigators aren’t the only ones asking<br />

these questions; the artiste too is casting<br />

about, because somebody is trying to<br />

pin a murder on him which he hasn’t<br />

committed.<br />

Hailstorms, famine and plague – it is<br />

1483 and the citizens of Ravensburg are<br />

way she saves the lives of many women<br />

and newborn babies. But she also<br />

provokes the hatred of the powerful<br />

chaplain. When the town is laid waste<br />

chaplain fetches the papal inquisitor<br />

to Ravensburg. Luzia is accused of<br />

witchcraft and thrown into prison. Only<br />

to save Luzia, the woman he loves, from<br />

The Intergovernmental Panel on<br />

Climate Change is wrong. The climate<br />

debate needs to be reopened.<br />

Contradicting earlier predictions, global<br />

warming has been at a standstill for ten<br />

years. The latest findings prove this is<br />

mainly caused by oceanic cycles and the<br />

sun entering a phase of low activity. With<br />

great clarity two experts now show how<br />

this has far-reaching consequences for<br />

our climate.<br />

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate<br />

Change is sure – humans alone are<br />

responsible for the recent global warming.<br />

But are the infamous greenhouse gases<br />

really the culprit? Why hasn’t it gotten<br />

warmer over the last 10 years? During<br />

their research, Vahrenholt and Lüning<br />

closely examined the various IPCC climate<br />

models and reached the conclusion that<br />

the global warming of the past 150 years is<br />

to a great extent all part of a natural cycle<br />

controlled by the sun. The next decades<br />

will even see a slight global cooling<br />

rather than further warming. This gives<br />

us valuable time to develop renewable<br />

sources of energy in ways that are both<br />

sustainable and economically so<strong>und</strong>.<br />

The first biography of Hans Scholl!<br />

Hans Scholl is the epitome of the<br />

resistance against the Nazi terror, and<br />

yet his life is barely known. Only recently<br />

have documents become accessible<br />

which allow us to trace his inner path<br />

from Hitler Youth leader to fo<strong>und</strong>er of<br />

the White Rose.<br />

Barbara Ellermeier describes the<br />

development of this religious intellectual<br />

in a major biography which replaces old<br />

legends with so<strong>und</strong> new facts. In the<br />

books and films about the protagonists<br />

of the White Rose, Sophie Scholl has<br />

always been the focus of attention, but it<br />

was her elder brother, Hans, who was the<br />

brains of the resistance group. Since 2001<br />

h<strong>und</strong>reds of pages from his unpublished<br />

writings have gradually been released to<br />

researchers. They provide us with deep<br />

insights into the way of thinking of a<br />

questioner and a seeker whose break<br />

with the Nazi regime only gradually<br />

changed into radical opposition.<br />

It wasn’t just aristocrats and officers<br />

who decided to join the resistance in<br />

July 1944. In a spur of the moment<br />

decision, an ordinary soldier of<br />

very modest origins also decides to<br />

fight against Hitler’s war. Today one<br />

question still plagues his son – why<br />

did his father put his life at risk? And<br />

why did he never speak about it?<br />

Bernd Ziesemer describes his long<br />

search for the story of his father’s fate<br />

– and in doing so he also uncovers an<br />

unknown part of the history of the<br />

German resistance. It is the story of a<br />

perfectly normal lance corporal who<br />

never intended to be a hero, but ended<br />

up carrying the secret papers of the<br />

resistance fighters all over Europe on his<br />

military motorbike. In July 1944 he falls<br />

into the hands of the military police, is<br />

sentenced to death before a war court<br />

in Breslau, and joins an illegal prisoners’<br />

group in the military prison of Torgau<br />

shortly before the end of the war.<br />

Inge Kloepfer’s daughter, Isabel (14)<br />

was fed up with hearing people<br />

yammering on about how stressed<br />

the young people of Germany are –<br />

and equally fed up with the fact that<br />

it’s only ever adults who write about<br />

bringing up children.<br />

Anyone who questions young people<br />

about their attitude towards life will<br />

sense their intense energy and their<br />

obsession with success. The only ones<br />

who are actually stressed are their<br />

perpetually worried parents, particularly<br />

their mothers. Isabel Kloepfer drew<br />

up a questionnaire which she sent out<br />

to many young people. The results<br />

reveal something astonishing – like<br />

Isabel herself, the majority of her<br />

contemporaries are <strong>und</strong>er enormous<br />

pressure to perform, but wouldn’t want<br />

things any other way. On the contrary –<br />

they enjoy their lives and the success<br />

which they wouldn’t be able to achieve<br />

without pressure and discipline.<br />

Life as a chambermaid in German<br />

hotels – an unsparingly candid<br />

account.<br />

‘Stealing from the minibar was a regular<br />

national pastime. People who would<br />

never have dared take a plastic bag in<br />

the supermarket without obediently<br />

paying their ten cents, drank the coke,<br />

beer and red wine as if it were all on the<br />

house. We never went to the trouble<br />

of charging them afterwards for the<br />

resulting costs. When it comes down to<br />

it, the guest is always the boss. And we’re<br />

his idiots.’<br />

Anna K. describes what goes on behind<br />

the facade of the smartly dressed hotel<br />

guest walking through the lobby, and<br />

how she fo<strong>und</strong> out more about these<br />

people than she ever wanted to know.<br />

Her stories are funny, grotesque, and<br />

often outrageous. Because even if<br />

some guests ignore every code of good<br />

behaviour, Anna’s job only ever permits<br />

her one reaction – a friendly smile and a<br />

‘Sure, no problem’.<br />

VW was considered to be in dire<br />

need of restructuring, but their image<br />

changed when Martin Winterkorn<br />

became head of the company. Europe’s<br />

biggest car manufacturer is well on its<br />

way to becoming the global No. 1. But<br />

who is the man at the top? Where does<br />

he come from, what’s driving him, and<br />

what are his visions? This book tells<br />

the story of the transformation of the<br />

largest German industrial concern.<br />

Martin Winterkorn was the object of intense<br />

media attention when he took over<br />

from Bernd Pischetsrieder as the head of<br />

VW in 2007, after running Audi for five<br />

years. A perfectionist, who knows every<br />

screw in every car, he managed to put<br />

the ailing company back on the path to<br />

success – Volkswagen wants to become<br />

the most successful car manufacturer by<br />

2018. However, it looks as if it’s going to<br />

be No. 1 in the car industry quite a bit<br />

sooner. How is Winterkorn leading the<br />

most important German concern into<br />

the future as regards electromobility,<br />

and what implications does this have for<br />

Germany’s economic position? Conversations<br />

with Martin Winterkorn and his<br />

Fanatical racist medicine – a little-known<br />

chapter in the history of Auschwitz,<br />

told from the viewpoint of the victims.<br />

A piece of historical literature which is<br />

both moving and shocking.<br />

At the beginning of 1943 the SS<br />

administration of Auschwitz isolated<br />

a two-storey building, Block 10, from<br />

the rest of the main camp. There, in the<br />

middle of a male concentration camp,<br />

they held on average more than 400<br />

Jewish women in a very cramped space.<br />

Two Nazi doctors tested methods of<br />

sterilisation on them and other doctors<br />

used them for further experiments. The<br />

inmates who survived this torture gave<br />

a lot of evidence to the courts after the<br />

end of the war. From the records of their<br />

memories, the authorities’ documents<br />

and other sources, including his own<br />

interviews, Lang has put together a large<br />

mosaic.<br />

Tom Goeller writes the biography of one<br />

of the most ambivalent personalities<br />

in European history with the help of<br />

personal statements from prominent<br />

historical and contemporary figures.<br />

Under Frederick the Great (1712–1786)<br />

Prussia entered the club of major European<br />

powers. Although he was a philosopher,<br />

in his own words he went to war<br />

‘out of exuberance’. Henry Kissinger recognises<br />

his ‘unscrupulous diplomacy’.<br />

Richard von Weizsäcker enthuses over<br />

his ‘lonely struggles between power and<br />

spirit, which are among the most valuable<br />

features of German history’. Tom<br />

Goeller brings ‘Old Fritz’ to life in a fresh<br />

light through new interpretations of historical<br />

evidence and conversations with<br />

prominent people about the importance<br />

of this king for the present day.<br />

Herbst 2011.indb 2-3<br />

Foreign Rights Catalogue | Autumn 2011<br />

As simple as it is skilful. A marvellously<br />

entertaining ‘just look at this!’ book.<br />

With a few strokes caricaturists portray a<br />

person’s most important characteristics.<br />

Anja Haas literally brings this to a point.<br />

Out of astonishingly few pixels she<br />

creates well-known personalities from<br />

the worlds of music, film, literature,<br />

politics and society. The little pixel<br />

people have an overwhelming charm in<br />

spite of their striking technique. They are<br />

as artistically polished as they are witty.<br />

And anyone who really cannot guess or<br />

does not know one of the subjects can<br />

look them up in the inner margin.<br />

Foreign Rights Catalogue | Autumn 2011<br />

Timeless fun for children up to 99<br />

years old!<br />

Lego, playmobil, barbie dolls <strong>und</strong><br />

matchbox cars can be fo<strong>und</strong> in every<br />

child’s room; their play value and<br />

design are as unbeatable today as they<br />

were thirty years ago. Helge Jepsen has<br />

chosen the most important classic toys<br />

and revealed their magic. His collection<br />

bears the stamp of many past and<br />

present generations and is an indicator<br />

of stylistic assurance for future ones. But<br />

above all one wallows in memories just<br />

looking at it.<br />

This book makes one realise how<br />

marvellous it is to enjoy playing and<br />

reading; it inevitably conjures up one’s<br />

best childhood memories.<br />

“I make the world the way I like it” –<br />

In this sentence Pippi Longstocking<br />

expressed the quintessence of how to<br />

excel in making the best of things.<br />

The digital artist Sandrine Estrade Boulet<br />

follows in Pippi’s footsteps and makes<br />

of her city a place full of surprising and<br />

wonderful things. Instead of grey walls,<br />

bollards, refuse and tarmac she sees<br />

butterflies, dancing girls, witches and<br />

dragons.<br />

Her imagination invites us to use our<br />

initiative as we look aro<strong>und</strong> us, to open<br />

our eyes, our senses and our hearts and<br />

to let our imagination carry us away.<br />
