books by Rowohlt Verlag GmbH     books:       Auferstehung Der Toten1 review Wolf Haas Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 1999 Strange book, one of the few logical detective stories I wonder how this book reads in english, because in german(or better Austrian)it is written like Brenner, the anti-hero of this story is telling the whole thing over a good cup of coffee. The story itself develops in the Austrian Alps when a couple is found frozen to death in a chaired ski-lift. The detective, Brenner, is investigating minor things for an all too long period and his only ...             Die Putzfraueninsel (Ullstein Taschenbucher)1 review Moser Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 1998 Irma bringt die Welt in Ordnung Eine Putzfrau räumt auf - und zwar nicht nur die Haushalte ihrer Kunden, sondern gleich den Teil der Welt, den sie fassen kann. Die Geschichte beginnt damit, dass Irma, eine gewiefte Putzfrau, die alle Tricks kennt, mit denen man den Eindruck von Arbeit erwecken kann, und die sich aufgrund ihrer Neugier besser im Privatleben ihrer Kunden auskennt, als denen lieb sein kann, ausgerechnet bei der ...             Der Agypter1 review Christian Jacq Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH A modern novel, written in 1998 for the world since 9/11/2001. An American millionaire, opposed to the Aswan Dam and enthralled with modern and ancient Egypt, waits near the dam for his betrothed to arrive. She is a French ecologist, and he has every hope that they will work together to convince the world that the Dam is destroying Egypt and that the Nile must flow freely again. On the way to their wedding, her bus is intercepted by elite forces of the ...             Eine Jugend in Deutschland1 review E. Toller Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 1963 brilliant political bio, from WWI to WWII This is an amazing and succinct autobiography by a little-known German writer. Horrified by the Great War, he became a communist revolutionary in Bavaria and while imprisoned wrote a number of well-received political plays. His writing style is beautiful and wonderfully vivid, yet clipped. The German is fairly easy, with plenty of dialect thrown in. The reader can really get a sense of ...             Sommer in Lesmona1 review Marga Berck Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 2001 Sommer in Lesmona Diese Briefe der Jahrhunderwende, geschrieben von einem jungen Madchen aus reichem Hanseatenhaus, fugen sich zu einem vom Leben verfabten Roman, der an die Welt Fontanes und seiner Frauengestalten erinnert. --- from book's back cover             Die Liebhaberinnen (Fiction, Poetry & Drama)1 review JELINEK Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 1995 mitnehmend, aber nicht mitfühlend 2 frauen. eine fabriksarbeiterin, eine die schneiderin lernt. eine will einen mann und ein kind haben um zu haben, die andere will mann und kind haben um dabei ihr glück zu finden. beiden ist gemeinsam, daß sie sich nicht vorstellen können, ohne mann und kind glücklich zu werden, ohne mann und kind als frau wertvoll zu sein, ja, ohne mann und kind überhaupt leben zu können. die sprache ist, dem ...             Wie Kommt Das Salz Ins Meer1 review Schwaiger Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 1998 Absolutly great book!!!! This is one of the best books I've ever read. Stays with you for ever.             Der Sonntag an Dem Ich Weltmeister1 review Friedrich Christian Delius Rowohlt Berlin Verlag Gmbh, 1994 Kantersieg der Sprache "Schäfer nach innen geflankt - Kopfball - abgewehrt - aus dem Hintergrund müsste Rahn schießen - Rahn schießt - Tor! Tor! Tor! Tor für Deutschland!" - Klar, welchen Sonntag F.C. Delius mit dem "Sonntag, an dem ich Weltmeister wurde" meint - den 4. Juli 1954. Die Erzählung beginnt aber bereits am Sonntagmorgen, um schließlich ihr Finale am späten Nachmittag anzusteuern. Ort der Handlung ist aber ...             Der Fremde1 review Albert Camus Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 1961 Mersault der Eigenbrötler This is a German translation of Albert Camus "L'étranger" (1942), which was translated into English as "The Stranger". As this is the German version, it seems to be best to give you my oppinion in the books language. Here we go: Mersault - der Icherzähler dieses Romans - beginnt seine Geschichte mit dem Tod seiner Mutter. Er muss zu ihrem Begräbnis reisen, nimmt dort aber alles mehr oder ...             Der Verdacht2 reviews Durrenmatt Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH captivating, lots of tension i started to read and couldn't put it down; extremeely well done character analysis of main villain and executioner             Lust8 reviews JELINEK Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 1995 Of Possesion There is a certain kind of uncomfortable silence when someone mentions Elfriede Jelinek, especially in a circle of literary critics, authors and most of all Austrians. Not so much of femme fatale but more like a destructor of modern pre-concepts of society. As it happens, no one likes destructor very much. Of grassy highlands and pictoresque little towns of Austria remained bleak destruction of ...             1945 Theo Sommer Rowohlt Verlag GmbH, 2005             Abschied von Chautauqua Stewart O'Nan Rowohlt Verlag GmbH, 2005             Heute War Ich Mir Lieber Nicht Begegnet1 review Herta Muller Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 1999 "The Appointment" This book is also available in English under the title "The Appointment." It is a compelling book telling the story of one couple living in Romania during the Ceaucescu regime, while weaving in tales of post WWII years when ethnic Germans were sent to labor camps in Russia, and later to the Baragan Steppes. It is set in the town of Timisoara, and the "heroine" is a young German woman who is ...             Joel Brand (Gesammelte Werke in Einzelausgaben / Heinar Kipphardt)1 review Kipphardt Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 1988 A theater play The story of Joel Brand is a huge story. This modest Hungarian Jew was proposed by Himmler/Schellenberg/Becher through no less than Adolf Eichmann to stop the holocaust if the allies would reverse their alliance and join them against the Bolcheviks. Sent by the nazis to Istambul, Joel Brand was then arrested by the British and sent to Cairo where his time-saving (the allies were already at the ...             Die Wahrheit uber Hansel und Gretel1 review Hans Traxler Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 1998 Hilarious spoof In "mockumentary" style, Traxler describes archaeological excavations that have turned up evidence shedding new light on the old story. Seems that Hänsel and Gretel were actually bakers--rivals of the so-called witch (also a baker)--who tried to put her out of business with a smear campaign. The witch comes off as the innocent victim in this sociological satire, which is all the funnier because ...             Esau48 reviews Philip Kerr Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 2001 Captivating I love the stories behind the Yeti more than Bigfoot because there seems to be a greater possibility that this human exists. Kerr brings this possibility closer to reality. A thrilling adventure into the highest mountain range in the world.             Big Girls Don't Cry2 reviews Francesca Clementis Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 2001 Amazing Clemetis I will never know why Clemetis is not appreciated in the States. She is amazing, bright and cynical. I appreciate her analytical view very much. Highly recommended for women with weight problems (and to the best of my knowledge that's 100% of the ladies in the world).             Mondscheintarif2 reviews Ildiko Von Kurthy Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH, 2001 Mondscheintarif A very entertaining and funny story about a single woman in her thirties, trying to find that special relationship. It reads very easily, and has you laugh with every page. Single or not, you can relate to everything she talkes about and goes through!
