Drei Verbrechen, die das mittelalterliche England in Atem halten ... DIE TOTE IM KLOSTER: England im Jahre 1301: Inmitten der schwelenden Konflikte mit dem Erzfeind Frankreich wird in einem Kloster die verbannte Geliebte des Kronprinzen tot aufgefunden. Wer hätte ein Interesse daran, Lady Eleanor zu ermorden? Hugh Corbett, Meisterspion der englischen Krone, beginnt zu ermitteln – und stößt dabei auf ein Netz aus Intrigen, das sich bis in die obersten Kreise beider Länder erstreckt ... DER KAPUZENMÖRDER: Eine brutale Mordserie hält ganz London in Atem: Mehrere Prostituierte werden in der Dunkelheit der Nacht grausam verstümmelt. Als schließlich auch Lady Catherine Sommerville, Witwe eines Verbündeten Edwards I., tot aufgefunden wird, beauftragt der König erneut seinen besten Mann – Hugh Corbett begibt sich auf die Jagd nach dem gefürchtetsten Mörder der ganzen Stadt ... DER MÖRDER VON GREENWOOD: Im Norden des Landes überfällt eine Räuberbande die Steuereintreiber des Königs. Als Corbett nach Nottingham reist, um im Auftrag Edwards I. den Verbrechern Einhalt zu gebieten, erwartet ihn dort eine weitere böse Überraschung: Der Sheriff der Stadt wird vergiftet in seinem Bett aufgefunden – und der Täter scheint niemand geringeres zu sein als der berüchtigte Robin Hood ... Ein historischer Krimi-Sammelband für alle Fans von Oliver Pötzsch und Peter Tremayne.

La gelida morsa dell''inverno del 1381 attanaglia Londra e la grande taverna di Southwark che sorge sulla sponda del fiume. In una torre fortificata di pertinenza del maestoso edificio, noto per i grotteschi frontoni con figure scolpite di satiri e scimmie ghignanti, ha preso alloggio lo spietato esattore Marsen. Accompagnato da uno scriba e da un capitano degli arcieri al comando di cinque uomini, è responsabile della riscossione del testatico lungo l''argine sud del Tamigi per conto del reggente Giovanni di Gand. Odiato dalle comunità della zona per le continue razzie, non è che un crudele pirata di terra. Dopo notti di gozzoviglia, quando nessun segno di vita proviene dalla torre, sprangata dall''interno, una scena infernale si offre agli occhi dell''oste e dei suoi servitori. Fra tavoli e sgabelli rovesciati l''esattore giace trafitto da un profondo colpo di lama, accanto a lui lo scriba sventrato. Delle due prostitute che ne hanno esaudito i desideri peccaminosi, una è stata uccisa con una stoccata al cuore e l''altra mostra un orrido squarcio nella gola. Il capitano degli arcieri, tutti assassinati, risulta scomparso; il bottino in oro e argento delle imposte rubato. Convocato sul posto, fratello Athelstan, parroco della chiesa di St Erconwald, dovrà capire come sia stato possibile perpetrare la macabra carneficina. E Dio solo sa per quali oscuri sentieri lo condurrà la sua ricerca.

Shortlist Booker Prize 2023 Dit andere paradijs vertelt het op ware gebeurtenissen gebaseerde verhaal van een eiland waar generaties verschoppelingen hun thuis hebben gebouwd, beginnend bij de Zwarte Benjamin Honey en zijn Ierse vrouw Patience. Ruim een eeuw later wonen hun nazaten nog steeds op Apple Island, samen met een zeer diverse groep buren. Ze zijn arm en lijden vaak honger, maar zijn gevrijwaard van de discriminatie en segregatie die op het vasteland aan de orde van de dag zijn. Tot de idealistische schoolmeester Matthew Diamond de aandacht van de autoriteiten vestigt op de in zijn ogen erbarmelijke omstandigheden, met de gedwongen evacuatie van het eiland tot gevolg. De bewoners gaan onverschrokken op zoek naar een nieuw paradijs.

Dalla fine del Settecento fino al 1912, l’isola di Malaga accolse una comunità di pescatori composta da afroamericani, bianchi poveri e altre etnie che avevano trovato rifugio su quel lembo di terra nel Golfo del Maine. Nel 1912, il governatore dello Stato decretò «lo sgombero dei quarantasette residenti e la traslazione delle salme dei loro defunti». Un atto che sancí con efferata violenza la fine di quella comunità. In Un altro Eden, con la grazia della sua impeccabile scrittura, Paul Harding ritorna su quella vicenda crudele per narrare una magnifica storia «fatta di poesia e luce solare», come ha scritto il New York Times. Il romanzo si apre nel 1793 con l’arrivo ad Apple Island – cosí l’isola viene ribattezzata nella finzione letteraria – di Benjamin Honey, nero nato in schiavitú, e di sua moglie Patience, irlandese di Galway. Aspirante frut-ticultore, Benjamin Honey sbarca sull’isola con dodici sacchetti di iuta contenenti semi di diverse varietà di mele e, con ostinata pazienza, riesce a creare il suo piccolo Eden: un frutteto di trentadue meli. Piú di un secolo dopo, nel 1911, una manciata di esseri umani vive sull’isola: i discendenti di Benjamin e Patience Honey, innanzi tutto, Esther Honey e suo figlio Eha, i figli di Eha; le sorelle McDermott, che passano le giornate a lavare i panni e ad accudire tre orfani; i fratellastri Lark, abili pescatori dai capelli e dagli occhi incolori, ereditati da padri africani, mamme irlandesi e nonni svedesi, e i loro quattro figli, vaganti per l’isola come spettri gentili e affamati; la vecchia Annie Parker e Zachary Hand to God Proverbs che vive in un albero cavo. Gli abitanti di Apple Island conducono un’esistenza semplice e povera nel loro piccolo Eden, in cui ciascuno è libero di prendersi cura delle proprie ore e dei propri giorni. Ignorano, dunque, che qualcun altro possa decidere del loro tempo e decretarne addirittura la fine. Ignorano anche i tormenti di Matthew Diamond, il missionario bianco che ogni mattina rema fino all’isola per predicare e insegnare tutto lo scibile ai bambini. Fermamente convinto che ogni uomo è suo fratello, Matthew Diamond non può, tuttavia, fare a meno di provare un istintivo e viscerale senso di repulsione ogni volta che si trova, come afferma con candore in una lettera, «alla presenza di un negro». Angustiato dal senso di colpa, si rivela non soltanto impotente dinanzi alla distruzione della piccola comunità di Apple Island, decretata dai deliri eugenetici e razzisti dell’epoca, ma anche incapace di scorgere in quel lembo di terra un’antica verità della sua fede: che l’Eden è dei poveri e dei semplici. «Ed eccoci di nuovo di fronte al grande talento di Harding». The New York Times «Harding scrive con la gravitas di un creatore di miti... Il ritmo della narrazione è maestoso, le descrizioni, anche di piccoli eventi, stupende... Un altro Eden è bellissimo e straziante... come il luogo reale che lo ha ispirato». Claire Messud «Con una prosa lirica e audace, Un altro Eden racconta un’utopia nel momento del suo declino. Dinanzi alle storie degli isolani ci troviamo a interrogarci sulla natura ambigua della compassione, sui limiti della tolleranza e su cosa significhi realmente essere salvati. Un romanzo luminoso, che fa riflettere». Esi Edugyan, autrice de Le avventure di Washington Black

Shortlisted for the 2023 Booker Prize Finalist for the 2023 National Book Award for Fiction One of Barack Obama''s 15 favorite books of 2023 • A New Yorker Best Books of 2023 • An NPR 2023 "Book We Love" Pick and Top 10 Book of 2023 • One of Time''s 100 Must-Read Books of 2023 • One of the New York Times''s 100 Notable Books of 2023 and Best Historical Fiction of 2023 • A Chicago Public Library Favorite Book of 2023 • A Fresh Air Top 10 Best Book of 2023 • A Publishers Weekly Best Fiction of 2023 "A testament of love." —Danez Smith, New York Times Book Review From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Tinkers, a novel inspired by the true story of Malaga Island, an isolated island off the coast of Maine that became one of the first racially integrated towns in the Northeast. In 1792, formerly enslaved Benjamin Honey and his Irish wife, Patience, discover an island where they can make a life together. Over a century later, the Honeys’ descendants and a diverse group of neighbors are desperately poor, isolated, and often hungry, but nevertheless protected from the hostility awaiting them on the mainland. During the tumultuous summer of 1912, Matthew Diamond, a retired, idealistic but prejudiced schoolteacher-turned-missionary, disrupts the community’s fragile balance through his efforts to educate its children. His presence attracts the attention of authorities on the mainland who, under the influence of the eugenics-thinking popular among progressives of the day, decide to forcibly evacuate the island, institutionalize its residents, and develop the island as a vacation destination. Beginning with a hurricane flood reminiscent of the story of Noah’s Ark, the novel ends with yet another Ark. In prose of breathtaking beauty and power, Paul Harding brings to life an unforgettable cast of characters: Iris and Violet McDermott, sisters raising three orphaned Penobscot children; Theophilus and Candace Larks and their brood of vagabond children; the prophetic Zachary Hand to God Proverbs, a Civil War veteran who lives in a hollow tree; and more. A spellbinding story of resistance and survival, This Other Eden is an enduring testament to the struggle to preserve human dignity in the face of intolerance and injustice.

"Sahatavara, havupuutapetti, kellojen puuaines ja seinällä ylhäällä katonrajassa pieninä valoaukkoina olevat kaksi ikkunaa loivat vaikutelman oudosta tikittävästä lehti- tai huvimajasta." KILKUTTAJAT on romaani kuolevasta kellonkorjaajasta Georgesta ja hänen kattilanpaikkaaja-isästään Howardista. Lukija pääsee vuoroin juniorin, vuoroin seniorin kyytiin liikkumaan pitkin Uuden-Englannin metsiä ja joenvarsia. Sukutarinaa varjostavat Howardin epilepsia ja reaktio hullujenhuoneelle passittamisen uhkaan, jos myös hänen pastori-isänsä merkillinen kohtalo. Hahmojen vuolaat ajatuksenjuoksut ja hellittämätön paneutuminen niin tajunnanliikkeidensä kuin rakennetun ja luonnonympäristön yksityiskohtiin sekä vanhoihin teksteihin luovat kirjaan hypnoottisia sisäkkäisiä kehiä. Romaani sai ansaitusti himoitun Pulitzer-palkinnon, kun kriitikot ja lukijat ihastuivat sen sormenpäissä tuntuviin kuvauksiin, korkealentoisiin mietiskelyihin, tummanpuhuvaan tunnelmaan ja omituiseen huumoriin.

Doch in den dunklen Gassen Londons wartet mehr als ein Verbrecher darauf, Corbett genau dann in den Rücken zu fallen, wenn er es am wenigsten erwartet ... »Gekonnt, historisch genau und packend geschrieben.

Special edition of Paul Harding’s Pulitzer Prize–winning debut novel—featuring a new foreword by Marilynne Robinson and book club extras inside In this deluxe tenth anniversary edition, Marilynne Robinson introduces the beautiful novel Tinkers, which begins with an old man who lies dying. As time collapses into memory, he travels deep into his past, where he is reunited with his father and relives the wonder and pain of his impoverished New England youth. At once heartbreaking and life affirming, Tinkers is an elegiac meditation on love, loss, and the fierce beauty of nature. The story behind this New York Times bestselling debut novel—the first independently published Pulitzer Prize winner since A Confederacy of Dunces received the award nearly thirty years before—is as extraordinary as the elegant prose within it. Inspired by his family’s history, Paul Harding began writing Tinkers when his rock band broke up. Following numerous rejections from large publishers, Harding was about to shelve the manuscript when Bellevue Literary Press offered a contract. After being accepted by BLP, but before it was even published, the novel developed a following among independent booksellers from coast to coast. Readers and critics soon fell in love, and it went on to receive the Pulitzer Prize, prompting the New York Times to declare the novel’s remarkable success “the most dramatic literary Cinderella story of recent memory.” That story is still being written as readers across the country continue to discover this modern classic, which has now sold over half a million copies, proving once again that great literature has a thriving and passionate audience. Paul Harding is the author of two novels about multiple generations of a New England family: Enon and the Pulitzer Prize–winning Tinkers. He teaches at Stony Brook Southampton.
