No Longer at Ease (9780141191553)



Obi Okonkwo is an idealistic young man who, thanks to the privileges of an education in Britain, has now returned to Nigeria for a job in the civil service. However in his new role he finds that the way of government seems to be backhanders and corruption. Obi manages to resist the bribes that are offered to him, but when he falls in love with an unsuitable girl - to the disapproval of his parents - he sinks further into emotional and financial turmoil. The lure of easy money becomes harder to refuse, and Obi becomes caught in a trap he cannot escape.

Showing a man lost in cultural limbo, and a Nigeria entering a new age of disillusionment, No Longer at Ease concludes Achebe's remarkable trilogy charting three generations of an African community under the impact of colonialism, the first two volumes of which are Things Fall Apart and Arrow of God.

Der Schneekimono (9783458176824)

»Willst du dein Leben erkennen, musst du es durch die Augen eines anderen sehen.« Auguste Jovert lebt zurückgezogen in seiner Wohnung in Paris. Eines Tages steht ein Fremder vor seiner Tür, der ihm die Geschichte seines Freundes, des Japaners Katsuo Ikeda, erzählt. Ikeda führte ein bewegtes Leben als Schriftsteller, verliebte sich unsterblich in die schöne Mariko. Doch als er ihr wiederholt ihren Wunsch nach einem Kind ausschlägt, verlässt sie ihn.

Doch als Sachiko schwanger wird und in einem Schneesturm stirbt, muss er sich einer Wahrheit stellen, vor der er bislang die Augen verschlossen hat. Und Auguste Jovert begreift, dass diese Geschichte im fernen Japan mehr mit ihm zu tun hat, als er zunächst ahnte. Denn auch er wird von seiner Vergangenheit eingeholt ... Mark Henshaws atmosphärischer Roman ist ein atemberaubendes Stüc...

Colonization: Down to Earth (1400163994)

In 1942, Hitler led the world's most savage military machine. Stalin ruled Russia while America was just beginning to show its strength in World War II. Then, in Harry Turtledove's brilliantly imagined Worldwar saga, an alien assault changed everything. Nuclear destruction engulfed major cities, and the invaders claimed half the planet before an uneasy peace could be achieved. A spectacular tale of tyranny and freedom, destruction and hope, the Colonization series takes us into the tumultuous 1960s, as the reptilian Race ponders its uneasy future. But now a new, even deadlier war threatens. Though the clamoring tribes of Earth play dangerous games of diplomacy, the ultimate power broker will be the Race itself. For the colonists have one option no human can ignore. With a vast, ancient empire already in place, the Race has the power to annihilate every living being on planet Earth. Product details ...
