Thirteen years ago, six teenage ...             Opernball. Limitierte Sonderausgabe.3 reviews Josef Haslinger Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 2003 Fast paced with a very important background Josef Haslinger, an Austrian author centering around brutal(especially Nazi) ideology and how it can happen that people make the same mistakes over and over again. The story is about a disastrous terror attack on the Vienna Opernball in a fictious, yet likely setup and how a middle aged star journalist discovers the irritating background where religious ambition and extreme right-wing ...             Deutsche Geschichte des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts. ( Geschichte).1 review Golo Mann Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 1992 History not soo dry... I started reading about Germany history by Craig Gordon at first and made it about halfway through the book (cause it was veery detailed and a bit dry)....so I decided to read Golo Mann's book about that part of history and made it all the way through. Therefore I think it is a very good book.             Body and Soul.1 review Frank Conroy Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 1999 Body and Soul by Frank Conroy This is a lovely, gracefully-written coming-of-age story about a young man of the mid-20th century who becomes an accomplished pianist. The poverty of his youth and his relationship with his mentor are especially well drawn. It's like watching a play through a gauzy scrim: the rough edges are visible, but softened.             Ich bin in Sehnsucht eingehüllt. Gedichte eines jüdischen Mädchens an seinen Freund.1 review Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger, Jürgen. Serke Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 2003 The Tenderness of Love The first time I read Selma's book, I wished it to be available in a an English edition to capture the English speaking world, the way it captured me in German. Selma's poetry is the highpoint of love poetry, any poet of standing would be proud of having created. She unfurls her soul with her gift of subtleness in expressing her feelings. In the breeze of changing seasons, her words reflect ...             Heute nacht oder nie.1 review Carlene Thompson Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 2000 MYSTERY...ROMANCE...SUSPENSE... The author is simply one of the best writers of this genre. She is better than Mary Higgins Clark who is the maven for this type of book. In this German text edition of her romantic suspense novel, "Tonight You're Mine", Ms. Thompson keeps the reader guessing until the very end, with so many twists and turns in the plot. It is an absorbing and compelling page turner. Fifteen years ago, a ...             Die Ufa- Story. Geschichte eines Filmkonzerns.1 review Klaus Kreimeier Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 2002 To really appreciate good films, know where they come from It is too bad that this is one of the only surviving books on UFA. Luckily it is one of the best. This book tells of the trials and tribulations of the film industry in Germany and the world between 1918 and 1945. It is packed with how they did it technically and economically. There are two concentrated picture sections. The pictures are of the sets, people involved in the industry, actors and ...             Heimat los! Aus dem Leben eines Juedischen Emigranten1 review Gad Granach, Hilde Recher, ... Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 2000 Outstanding and wonderful! I read Gad Granach's book because I wanted to learn more about the way German-Jewish immigrants to Israel during the 1930s and 40s saw themselves. Granach's down to Earth style flows like a conversation and tempts the reader to go through it in a single sitting. One learns a great deal about the inner turmoil and insecurity of an immigrant, the state of Israel at the zero hour, the strain of ...             Catch 22.1 review Joseph Heller Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 1994 A Great Novel Catch 22 is in brief, an execllent novel. It is painfully hilarious, and heartbreakingly sad, often at the same time. It tells the story of a bomber pilot in italy in the second world war, for whom the only way to stay sane in a war full of lunacy and madness is to go crazy. (read it and you'll see what i mean) A Superb Book             Machiavelli für Frauen. Strategie und Taktik im Kampf der Geschlechter.1 review Harriet Rubin Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 2000 Getting It Done as Only a Woman Can Power is one of those areas where writers have looked at the question from a male perspective or a unisex one that seems to be primarily male. To conceive of a book about women grasping and using power was a novel idea that quickly attracted my attention when the book first came out. I have had the pleasure of sharing this book with many women in business and later discussing the book with ...             Madonna Stories.1 review Gary Paulsen Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 1998 The Madonna Stories This is a great book that povided me with an award wining for forensics. All the stories are wonderfully emotional and seem to touch you right there. I really suggest this book to anyone who loves Gary Paulsens writtings, it's great!             Denkbewegungen. Tagebücher 1930 - 1932, 1936 - 1937.1 review Ludwig Wittgenstein, Ilse Somavilla Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 1999 Now available in English, too... This book is only in German, and not easily available. Wittgenstein's diaries are now available in German with English translation in Wittgenstein, Public and Private Occasions.             Sieh mich nicht an.1 review Carlene Thompson Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 2000 A GRIPPING AND HIGHLY ABSORBING THRILLER... This is the German text edition of "The Way You Look Tonight", a terrific novel of suspense, offering the reader a riveting, page turning read. It is hard to put down, once the reader is in its thrall. Well written in spare, clean prose, it will keep most readers guessing until the very end. The premise is fairly simple. Deborah Robinson, a young woman and mother of an adorable and precocious ...             Kepler.11 reviews John Banville Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 1997 Excellent Biographical Novel Close on the heels of finishing Banville's novel Doctor Copernicus, a story based on the life of Nicholas Copernicus, I started reading this novel on the life of Johannes Kepler. I had enjoyed Mr. Banville's book on Copernicus but I found that I enjoyed this book on Kepler even more. In terms of structure and power of prose, the two books are much the same but in Kepler Banville seems to know ...             Aura.50 reviews Carlos Fuentes Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 1999 One Good Turn... AURA by Carlos Fuentes, translated by Lysander Kemp, is a short read that I found wonderful and highly recommend. My Spanish is only mediocre so I was only able to take small advantage of the parallel text format. The plot has been reviewed by others, my only comment on the lists of comparisons, is to add Henry James' TURN OF THE SCREW that I kept thinking of while reading AURA. To those ...             Mars.2 reviews Fritz Zorn Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 1999 a incredibly sad and angry book I read 'Mars' when I was 23 and it had a powerful effect on me, not least for making me feel fortunate to have not been born into a wealthy Swiss family. Zorn's autobiography is a cold, furious attack on his family, his constipated, airless, upbringing and not least, himself: his loneliness and social ineptitude (for me, the latter aspect was the saddest part).It's a self-portrait of a deeply ...             The Snapper.1 review Roddy Doyle Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 2002 A book where the Characters throb with life There have been many wonderful Irish authors drawing up the atmosphere of Dublin that you actually smell the Guinness and boiled bacon. Doyle takes a different tack, he actually goes into a working class home on a council estate and lets us know what goes on behind the curtains. The language is colourful and you can just imagine the Dublin dialect being spoken. The Characters throb with so much ...             Marie Antoinette.1 review Stefan Zweig Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 2003 An Intimate Portrait Mr. Zweig provides a sensitive, illuminating portrait of Marie Antoinette that serves as an in-depth character study of the Queen while the ominous events of the French Revolution overtake her and her family. You will find yourself more in sympathy with Marie Antoinette than at odds with her. Zweig presents her as a woman more on a collision course with her station in life than as a despotic, ...             Rumble Fish. ( Ab 13 J.) (German Language Edition)1 review Susan E. Hinton Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 2003 Adventure and deeper thought Rusty-James is 14 and idolizes his older brother, the Motorcycle Boy. He wants to be just like the Motorcycle boy but never seems to live up to his brother's reputation. But does Rusty-James really understand his brother and the forces which have made him who he is today? This is Hinton's shortest novel so far but covers a surprisingly large number of issues. To begin with there is the ...             Finbars Hotel.9 reviews Roddy Doyle, Anne Enright, ... Fischer (Tb.), Frankfurt, 2000 An experiment that works just fine What a hoot! Imagine an about-to-be-demolished venerable old Dublin hotel. Imagine hallways with room numbers on the doors. Imagine the interwoven lives of the people spending the night behind those doors. NOW: Imagine that 7 different Irish authors are each assigned a room number and told to write the stories, somehow collaborating so that the stories link loosely together as the characters ...              search for books antoinette, denkbewegungen, deutsche, edition, eingehüllt, emigranten, filmkonzerns, finbars, frauen, gedichte, german, geschichte, geschlechter, jahrhunderts, juedischen, jüdischen, kepler, language, limitierte, machiavelli, madonna, mädchens, opernball, rumble, sehnsucht, snapper, sonderausgabe, stories, strategie, tagebücher books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
