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 />

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 />

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 />
closest associates.<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 />

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 />
