Foreign Rights Guide August 2012 – January 2013 Frank Patalong: THE VICTORIAN VIBRATOR Humor 272 pages 978-3-404-60722-8 Paperback October 2012 Inventions from the age of technology – from the foolish to the fatal. After conquering our work world, in the middle of the 19th century technology began to invade our leisure time and everyday lives. Technology held promise, it was a panacea. Inventors and tinkerers threw everything onto the market that fantasy and production capabilities would allow – with no regard for bothersome side effects. This book covers their most exasperating and exciting inventions: - the lady’s dead, but she does have smooth legs – back then, we used x-rays to remove leg hair - it’s refreshing and good for you, too – how our forebears used radioactive minerals to produce delicious sparkling water - let's optimize ourselves – how obscure bodybuilding machines, electric belts, and other miraculous methods were aimed at creating the perfect body . . . and, naturally, why certain massage apparatuses were actually vibrators. Includes numerous historical illustrations Frank Patalong has been employed at Spiegel Online since 1999, first as head of the Networld desk and now as a writer since 2011. Previously he worked as a stringer and local reporter in Essen and Duisburg. As the offspring of a mining family, he has experienced structural change firsthand. Bastei Lübbe GmbH & Co.

Foreign Rights Guide August 2012 – January 2013 Sushi, Sashimi, Sayonara Dana Phillips: BUT WITH SAKE, PLEASE Taking a Cruise with 1,000 Japanese Culture Clash 256 pages 978-3-404-60734-1 Paperback November 2012 Fermented beans for breakfast, a hula dance course in the starlight lounge, and tai chi on the sun deck. For Dana Phillips, traveling around the world on a Japanese cruise ship becomes a cultural adventure. As the only German on board, she makes one blunder after the other. First she bungles a proper greeting, then she forgets to change out of her "toilet" slippers, or she turns her teacup in the wrong direction – an absolute faux pas. In order to stop constantly attracting negative attention, she decides to learn Japanese customs as quickly as possible. As she does so, between Tokyo and Tahiti, an entirely new horizon opens up. Dana Phillips was born in Kronberg im Taunus in 1980. Her academic background is in journalism and fashion design. She has worked as an independent journalist for various newspapers and online magazines and lives in the Kreuzberg section of Berlin, where she shares an apartment with Fred, her Jack Russell terrier. In her leisure time, Dana pursues photography and enjoys cooking. Bastei Lübbe GmbH & Co.
