Book Description
“It chimes eerily with the times we are living through now.” ―Margaret Atwood, The New York Times Book Review Hendrik Hofgen is a man obsessed with becoming a famous actor. When the Nazis come to power in Germany, he willingly renounces his Communist past and deserts his wife and mistress in order to keep on performing. His diabolical performance as Mephistopheles in Faust proves to be the stepping-stone he yearned for: attracting the attention of Hermann Göring, it wins Hofgen an appointment as head of the State Theatre. The rewards – the respect of the public, a castle-like villa, a place in Berlin's highest circles – are beyond his wildest dreams. But the moral consequences of his betrayals begin to haunt him, turning his dreamworld into a nightmare. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

MALLORCA - GELIEBTE INSEL
Author: Willy Viteka
Publisher: Tredition Gmbh
ISBN: 9783746984513
Category :
Languages : de
Pages : 172
Book Description
Mallorca - Geliebte Insel ist eine ebenso herzliche, humorvolle wie originelle Reminiszenz an die Vergangenheit der Insel. Willy Viteka - Schriftsteller, Maler, Autor, Komponist und Photograph - enthüllt uns das Wesen Mallorcas auf eine ganz neue, sehr persönliche und unterhaltsame Art und Weise. Er zeigt uns die Insel aus einem bisher unbekannten Blickwinkel und erzählt aus seiner Jugend, als Massentourismus und Bikinis an den Stränden noch unbekannt waren. Nur wenige sind mit der Insel, der Mentalität der Mallorquiner, ihren Traditionen, ihrer Denkweise und nicht zuletzt ihrem Sinn für Humor so vertraut wie er. Mit seinen autobiographischen und fesselnden Erzählungen lässt der Autor so manchen von uns in unvergessliche Zeiten Mallorcas zurückkehren, und wer sie nicht selbst miterlebt hat, findet in diesem Buch Geschichten über herzliche Begegnungen mit den Menschen der Insel ebenso wie Episoden aus der Jugend des Autors, welche die Freiheit und Ungezwungenheit des damaligen Lebens auf der Insel zeigen, oder Beschreibungen von Orten und Landschaften, die es so nicht mehr gibt. Immer wieder wird spürbar, dass die Liebe des Autors zu dieser Insel trotz aller dort vorgegangenen Veränderungen ungebrochen ist. Mit seiner angeborenen Kreativität und Ironie, die in den hier veröffentlichten Texten und Zeichnungen gleichermaßen zum Ausdruck kommen, lässt uns Willy Viteka an seinen Erlebnissen auf Mallorca teilhaben.

Raif Badawi, The Voice of Freedom
Author: Ensaf Haidar
Publisher: Other Press, LLC
ISBN: 1590518020
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
A powerful first-person account of Ensaf Haidar’s life wither her husband, Saudi Arabian social activist Raif Badawi, and her worldwide campaign to free him from imprisonment Ensaf Haidar's unforgettable account of her marriage to imprisoned Saudi blogger Raif Badawi tells the story of the survival of their love against all odds, and of her courageous fight for her husband’s freedom. When Ensaf and Raif married in 2002 they shed tears of joy; they had overcome the resistance of her family and the rigid conventions of Saudi Arabian culture, and their battle to be together was finally won. But an even greater challenge lay ahead. After the romance of their clandestine courtship, the triumph of their wedding day, and the ups and downs of married life, Ensaf discovers that Raif is becoming active in the liberal movement. Their partnership grows stronger as Raif works tirelessly, daring to question the social order of Saudi Arabia — until his activities attract the attention of the religious police. With Raif under increasing surveillance, Ensaf reluctantly accepts exile as the only way to protect their three young children, hoping that Raif will soon join them. But Raif's arrest and subsequent sentence — to ten years in prison and 1,000 lashes — change everything. Ensaf must take up the fight for her husband’s life, galvanizing global support and campaigning for his freedom — and their right to be reunited as a family again. This profoundly moving memoir is both a love story and an inspiring account of the making of not one but two heroic human rights activists.
