April 2022An der Grasnarbe
Roman
by Mirjam Wittig
Jetzt hütet Noa also Schafe. Um ihren Angstattacken in der Großstadt zu entfliehen und aus Sehnsucht nach dem einfachen Leben,ist sie als freiwillige Helferin auf einen Hof nach Südfrankreich gekommen. Hier leben Ella, Gregor und ihre elfjährige Tochter Jade von ihrer Herde und dem, was sie auf den Äckern anbauen. Doch das wird immer beschwerlicher, die Sommer werden heißer. Auch Noa bemerkt die Risse im Boden und wie wenig Wasser der Fluss führt. Das Landleben zeigt sich nicht weniger aufreibend als Noas früheres Leben. Und in der Abgeschiedenheit der Berge holen sie auch die Ängste und inneren Widersprüche ein, mit denen sie bereits zuhause zu kämpfen hatte. In An der Grasnarbe treffen innere und äußere Landschaften aufeinander, die nicht nur durch die Klimakrise ins Wanken geraten. Mirjam Wittig erzählt davon mit großem Einfühlungsvermögen und starker atmosphärischer Kraft – als ob man die Berge und Täler vor sich sieht, die Schafsglocken hört, Trockenheit und Hitze auf der Haut spürt. Ein aufregendes Debüt!

October 2006Mein Kochbuch
Einfaches zu besonderen Anlässen
by Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, Susanne Baumgarten
„Alle essen, viele kochen, manche besonders gut. Zu denen gehöre ich nicht. Aber ich koche leidenschaftlich gern und mag auch Gäste und Feste. Meistens habe ich schrecklich wenig Zeit. Deshalb koche ich in der Regel relativ einfache Gerichte und oft dasselbe.“ Bei Einladungen gilt für Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard vor allem eines: Die Gäste und nicht die Speisenfolge stehen im Mittelpunkt. Ein gutes Essen soll Spaß machen. Und ein guter Gastgeber zeichnet sich auch dadurch aus, daß er sich ausgeruht seinen Gästen widmet und nicht panisch in der Küche letzte Vorbereitungen trifft. Mit pragmatischen Ratschlägen und anschaulichen Anleitungen erleichtert Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard das Kochen von über 200 köstlichen Gerichten, viele davon aus der Küche ihrer traditionsreichen Familie, aber auch bewährte Rezepte von Freunden und einfallsreiche Abwandlungen: von Käsewindbeuteln und Tomatensuppe über Spinatauflauf, Tafelspitz und Rösti bis zu Zimtsternenund Karamelläpfeln. Tips zum Zeitmanagement in der Küche, zur Vorbereitung und Zusammenstellung des Menüs sowie viele persönliche Beobachtungen aus langjähriger Kocherfahrung vermitteln auch weniger Geübten, daß Kochen keine Zauberei ist. Die Kochphilosophie von Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard ist einfach: Mit wenigen, aber guten Zutaten und vernünftiger Zeiteinteilung kann jeder köstliche Gerichte zubereiten und als Gastgeber den Überblick behalten.

by Beatrix Potter, Glen Cavaliero, Eike Schönfeld

Beginnend mit kindlichsprunghaften Eintragungen, wächst hier vor den Augen des Lesers die weltberühmte Kinderbuchautorin und -zeichnerin heran, eine genaue Beobachterin ihrer Umwelt. So bieten die Aufzeichnungen nicht nur Einblicke in Beatrix Potters Leben, sondern auch ein Stück viktorianischer Geistes- und Kulturgeschichte.
