PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The “remarkable” (Ken Burns), “utterly absorbing” (Forbes) Civil War classic that inspired the film Gettysburg, with more than three million copies in print—now in a 50th anniversary edition featuring a new introduction by Jeff Shaara “My favorite historical novel . . . a superb re-creation of the Battle of Gettysburg, but its real importance is its insight into what the war was about, and what it meant.”—James M. McPherson In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation’s history, two armies fought for two conflicting dreams. One dreamed of freedom, the other of a way of life. Far more than rifles and bullets were carried into battle. There were memories. There were promises. There was love. And far more than men fell on those Pennsylvania fields. Bright futures, untested innocence, and pristine beauty were also the casualties of war. Michael Shaara’s Pulitzer Prize–winning masterpiece is unique, sweeping, unforgettable—the dramatic story of the battleground for America’s destiny.

Ein Amazon-Bestseller des Monats, dieses strahlende Debüt-Mysterium folgt einem jungen Mädchen auf der Suche, ihre Familie zu retten, und spricht Fans von Jodi Picoult und Fredrik Backman an (Alan Bradley, New York Times-Bestsellerautor der Flavia de Luce-Mysterien). Ich weiss, dass mein Bruder tot ist. Aber manchmal ist Mama verwirrt. Es gibt viel über die Welt der Erwachsenen, das die sechsjährige Aoife nicht versteht, wie das, was mit ihrem grossen Bruder Theo passiert ist und warum ihre Mama im Krankenhaus ist, anstatt zu Hause, wo sie hingehört. Onkel Donny sagt, sie müsse einfach geduldig sein, aber Aoife ist sich sicher, dass ihre Mama nicht nach Hause kommen kann, bis Aoife herausfindet, was wirklich mit ihrem Bruder geschehen ist. Das Problem ist, dass niemand über Theo reden will, weil er ermordet wurde. Aber von wem? Mit ihrem imaginären Freund Teddy an ihrer Seite und den Detektivfähigkeiten ihrer neugierigen Nachbarin macht sich Aoife auf, die Wahrheit über ihre Familie herauszufinden. Während ihre Suche sie von den Ufern von Theos geheimem Versteck am Fluss zu den Dächern über Detroit führt, wird Aoife lernen, dass einige Geheimnisse nicht für immer verborgen bleiben können und dass manchmal der Schmerz, den wir vergraben, das grösste Geheimnis von allen ist. Getrieben von Aoifes kindlicher Aufrichtigkeit und gefärbt von ihrer lebhaften Vorstellungskraft, beleuchtet "All That's Bright and Gone" das unerschütterliche Band zwischen Familien und die Wege, die wir gehen, um unsere Lieben nach Hause zu bringen. „Aoifes berührende und liebenswerte Geschichte wird lange nach den letzten Seiten nachhallen. Dieses familienorientierte Debüt ist eines, das man geniessen und teilen sollte.“ — New York Journal of Books.

A visitor from space lands on the Clangers' quiet little planet.

"He struck a match to look at his watch. In the flare of the light they saw a young woman just at Pitot's elbow--a young woman dressed all in black, with pale gold hair, and a baby sleeping on her shoulder. She glided to the edge of the bridge and stepped noiselessly off into the black waters."--from Ghost Stories of Old New Orleans Ghosts are said to wander along the rooftops above New Orleans' Royal Street, the dead allegedly sing sacred songs in St. Louis Cathedral, and the graveyard tomb of a wealthy madam reportedly glows bright red at night. Local lore about such supernatural sightings, as curated by Jeanne deLavigne in her classic Ghost Stories of Old New Orleans, finds the phantoms of bitter lovers, vengeful slaves, and menacing gypsies haunting nearly every corner of the city, from the streets of the French Quarter to Garden District mansions. Originally printed in 1944, all forty ghost stories and the macabre etchings of New Orleans artist Charles Richards appear in this new edition. Drawing largely on popular legend dating back to the 1800s, deLavigne provides vivid details of old New Orleans with a cast of spirits that represent the ethnic mélange of the city set amid period homes, historic neighborhoods, and forgotten taverns. Combining folklore, newspaper accounts, and deLavigne's own voice, these phantasmal tales range from the tragic--brothers, lost at sea as children, haunt a chapel on Thomas Street in search of their mother--to graphic depictions of torture, mutilation, and death. Folklorist and foreword contributor Frank A. de Caro places the writer and her work in context for modern readers. He uncovers new information about deLavigne's life and describes her book's pervasive lingering influence on the Crescent City's culture today.

Bis zu einem fatalen Haiangriff vor einem halben Jahr war Alicia Taylor so etwas wie eine Berühmtheit in der kleinen Küstenstadt Eden: Die 22-Jährige wollte nie etwas anderes sein als Surferin, und sie war richtig, richtig gut. Doch als Alicia jetzt endlich aus der Reha entlassen wird und sich voller Vorfreude ihr Surfbrett schnappt, stellt sie fest, dass sie sich ihrem geliebten Meer nur noch bis auf wenige Meter nähern kann. Dann brechen die Erinnerungen über sie herein - und mit ihnen die nackte Panik. Weil Alicia keinesfalls zu einem Psychologen gehen möchte, wendet sie sich in ihrer Verzweiflung an den Meeresbiologen und Haiexperten Ethan Parfit. Bald verbindet die beiden nicht nur ihre gemeinsame Liebe zum Ozean. Doch Ethan hat ganz andere Vorstellungen davon, welche Art von Hilfe Alicia wirklich braucht, als sie selbst.
