        My Father's Secret

        The BND, my family and I

        by Corinna von Bassewitz

        For a long time, Corinna von Bassewitz believed her father was a soldier, later on that he was a diplomat. Then, at the age of 16, she learnt something unbelievable: he had been a secret agent for the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND, Germany's Federal Intelligence Service). Once the secret had been at least partly uncovered, she became something of a spy herself and eventually found some confidential documents in her parents' attic. Later, she realised that her father had been living as a double agent for the FRG and the GDR. So what effect does it have on a girl if her father conceals his true identity and eventually disappears without trace? Along with her family history, the author provides multi-layered and exciting insights into the historical context of the Cold War. A very personal book, intriguingly told and emotionally touching.

        Schatten über Innsmouth

        Eine Horrorgeschichte

        by H. P. Lovecraft, Rudolf Hermstein, Franz Rottensteiner

        "Der Erzähler dieser recht aparten Geschichte des Grauens flieht in den Morgenstunden des 16. Juli 1927, von Grauen geschüttelt, Hals über Kopf aus der verschlafenen Hafenstadt Innsmouth; sein verzweifeltes Drängen führt zu einer behördlichen Untersuchung durch die Bundesregierung, zu zahlreichen Verhaftungen und zur Sprengung oder dem Niederbrennen einer Anzahl alter Häuser. Erst lange, nachdem alles vorbei ist, von quälenden Träumen geplagt, in denen irrwitzig alptraumhafte Lebewesen vorkommen wie die entsetzlichen Schoggothen, entschließt er sich zu berichten, was er in jenem »von bösen Schatten erfüllten Hafen des Todes und der blasphemischen Abnormität« erlebte. Er wurde damals Zeuge einer ruchlosen Zeremonie der Anhänger des Fischgottes Dagon und des noch schrecklicheren Cthulhu."

        The supernatural in early modern Scotland

        by Julian Goodare, Martha McGill

        This book is about other worlds and the supernatural beings, from angels to fairies, that inhabited them. It is about divination, prophecy, visions and trances. And it is about the cultural, religious, political and social uses to which people in Scotland put these supernatural themes between 1500 and 1800. The supernatural consistently provided Scots with a way of understanding topics such as the natural environment, physical and emotional wellbeing, political events and visions of past and future. In exploring the early modern supernatural, the book has much to reveal about how men and women in this period thought about, debated and experienced the world around them. Comprising twelve chapters by an international range of scholars, The supernatural in early modern Scotland discusses both popular and elite understandings of the supernatural.

        The Malleus Maleficarum

        by Peter Maxwell-Stuart

        A shocking glimpse into the mind of a medieval witch hunter. In 1487, the zealous Dominican inquisitor Heinrich Kramer wrote a treatise that would have a remarkable influence on European history. Blaming women for his own lust, and frustrated by official complacency before what he saw as a monstrous spiritual menace, Kramer penned a practical guide to aid law officers in the identification and prosecution of witches. Fusing theology, lurid anecdotes and advice for those engaged in combating sorcery, The Malleus Maleficarum transports the reader into the dark heart of medieval belief - where fear of the supernatural provokes a gripping struggle for understanding and control. Kramer's book led to the burning of numerous innocents and had a lasting impact on the popular image of witchcraft. It remains a sinister symbol of fanaticism and cruelty to this day.
