        IT’S OUR FUTURE

        THE YOUNG FEMALE REBELS CHANGING OUR WORLD

        by Bettina Weiguny

        Greta Thunberg is not alone: there is now a worldwide movement. Young female rebels are taking to the world stage. They are campaigning for clean drinking water, opposing the gun lobby, mobilising against child marriage and child labour. In order to achieve their goals, they are speaking at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, at the Economic Forum in Davos, at climate conferences or at the "March for Our Lives" in Washington. Their influence is immense; a single speech can shake global corporations such as Siemens. Behind the young activists, just a Tweet away, stands a whole generation. The book introduces the key players, for example Emma González and the Indonesian sisters, 10 and 12 years old, who managed to bring about the prohibition of single use plastic on Bali, but it also follows up the fundamental issues: who brings them out onto the streets, what motivates them?

        Royal Horses (1). Crown Heart

        by Jana Hoch

        His world is that of the Royals – full of scandals and secrets. Falling in love with him was never part of her plan. Their paths cross at the royal stud farm... Greta just wants to get away: away from her school and away from the friends who have so endlessly disappointed her. The holiday job at the royal stud farm comes at just the right time for her. She might not have any interest in horses – and even less in princes and princesses – but the royal family’s palace still makes her heart beat faster. But on the very first day she quarrels with Edward, the horse trainer. He guesses that she is hiding a secret and wants to do whatever it takes to bring it out in the open. When, shortly afterwards, Prince Tristan appears at the stud farm, Greta’s life is completely turned upside down. She notices all too late that she is in the process of falling in love – and specifically with the boy that she actually wants to stay away from. Humorous and romantic, glamorous and exciting: ‘Royal Horses’ is the perfect love story for all readers from 12 to 99 years-old. Greta and Edward‘s story continues! Volume 2, ‘Crown Dream’ will be out in autumn 2020.

        WHEN LIFE WAS GOOD AGAIN

        by Kerstin Sgonina

        Hamburg, 1954: Greta Bergström has spent almost her entire life with her grandmother in Stockholm. Now she stands in front of a run-down house in St. Pauli, where her father lives with his new family. He greets his daughter icily, and in buttoned-up Hamburg Greta searches in vain for a job as a beautician. Until she meets Marieke, who does her neighbours' hair in the prefab barracks on the outskirts of the city. Together they decide to tour the city in a mobile beauty shop – with great success.  After the dark years of the war, women want to look pretty again. Marieke does hair, Greta cosmetics, and Trixie, the third in the group, gives fashion advice. Suddenly Greta's life is so brightly eventful, she almost forgets the reason for her return to Hamburg: to find out what had happened to her mother, who had disappeared without a trace during the war.

        Dante und die Göttliche Komödie

        by Olof Lagercrantz, Gisbert Jänicke

        Olof Lagercrantz hat das Wagnis unternommen. Dantes »Göttliche Komödie« in die Gegenwart zu stellen. Er betrachtet sie nicht als ein Denkmal der Vergangenheit, das dem historisch Interessierten zum Ausflugsziel werden kann, sondern als ein lebendiges Wortgewebe, das in diesem Augenblick existiert und in der Zeit ebenso gegenwärtig ist wie etwas, das heute geschieht.
