Look Me in the Eye : My Life with Asperger's (9780307396181)



NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"As sweet and funny and sad and true and heartfelt a memoir as one could find." --from the foreword by Augusten Burroughs

Ever since he was young, John Robison longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits--an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother, Augusten Burroughs, in them)--had earned him the label "social deviant." It was not until he was forty that he was diagnosed with a form of autism called Asperger's syndrome. That understanding transformed the way he saw himself--and the world. A born storyteller, Robison has written a moving, darkly funny memoir about a life that has taken him from developing exploding guitars for KISS to building a family of his own. It's a strange, sly, indelible account--sometimes alien yet always deeply human.

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. Er verfällt in tiefe Depressionen, bis er eines Tages die junge Sachiko trifft, die er unbedingt ganz für sich haben will, denn sie erinnert ihn an seine Mariko. 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 ...
