        Die Affekte

        Roman

        by Rodrigo Hasbún

        Im Nachkriegsmünchen ist er verfemt, und so geht er mit seiner Frau und den drei Töchtern nach Bolivien, der exzentrische Hans Ertl, einst Riefenstahls erster Kameramann und Rommels ›Leibphotograph‹. Doch auch das neue Leben ist reich an Spannungen, und für seine nächste Expedition, die Suche nach der verlorenen Inkastadt Paititi, muss die ganze Familie einen hohen Preis zahlen. Insbesondere Monika, die älteste Tochter und ihrem Vater frappierend ähnlich, scheint jeden Halt zu verlieren. Was als persönliche Sinnkrise beginnt, wird zu ihrer politischen Radikalisierung führen und sie zu immer extremeren Maßnahmen treiben. Rodrigo Hasbún hat eine spektakuläre historische Episode zu einem hochexplosiven Kammerspiel verdichtet. Er erzählt von den Hoffnungen und Ernüchterungen einer deutschen Familie im südamerikanischen Exil und von den unentrinnbaren Fliehkräften der Geschichte.

        The world of El Cid

        Chronicles of the Spanish Reconquest

        by Rosemary Horrox, Simon Maclean

        Makes available, for the first time in English translation, four of the principal narrative sources for the history of the Spanish kingdom of León-Castile during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Three chronicles focus primarily upon the activities of the kings of León-Castile as leaders of the Reconquest of Spain from the forces of Islam, and especially upon Fernando I (1037-65), his son Alfonso VI (1065-1109) and the latter's grandson Alfonso VII (1126-57). The fourth chronicle is a biography of the hero Rodrigo Díaz, better remembered as El Cid, and is the main source of information about his extraordinary career as a mercenary soldier who fought for Christian and Muslim alike. Covers the fasincating interaction of the Muslim and Christian worlds, each at the height of their power. Each text is prefaced by its own introduction and accompanied by explanatory notes. ;

        Columbus, the Discarded Explorer

        Disaster of the legendary sailor

        by Wolfgang Wissler

        There he stands, the man the whole of Spain cheered, before whom the most catholic regents Isabella and Ferdinand rose to their feet, his eyes on his ship Capitana, devoured by shipworm, stranded off Jamaica. Some of the crew mutiny, the locals can no longer be fobbed off with glass beads, the Spanish on the nearby island of Hispaniola do not help, the world doesn‘t want anything to do with him, the demanding whinger. He, Christopher Columbus, is a John Lackland, a king without land, a conqueror without conquest. Between fiction and historical truth, Wolfgang Wissler recounts the legendary sailor‘s last expedition in an entirely new way – and what a story it is!
