        Nickel der Dackel

        Trau dich, anders zu sein: eine malerische Mutmachgeschichte!

        by Juliette Lagrange, Emilie Sievert

        Goldene Medaillen und Pokale glitzern an den Wänden seines Pariser Heims, seine Hundegeschwister sind allesamt stolze Sportler. Den kleinen Dackel aber bewundert keiner – dabei ist Nickel ein großer Künstler! Nickel ist nämlich kein Hund wie jeder andere. Nach Bällchen und Stöckchen zu springen, macht ihm keinen Spaß. Nickel hat ganz andere Vorlieben – er malt, bastelt, töpfert, versteckt in seinem geheimen Garten. Denn seine Herrchen verstehen seine Kunst einfach nicht, werfen sie bloß weg wie löchrige Socken! Eines fabelhaften Tages im Park erspäht Nickel eine kuriose, farbbekleckste Künstlertruppe und begibt sich mithilfe seiner Spürnase auf ihre Spuren. Das größte Abenteuer seines Hundelebens beginnt: Ein braver Schoßhund für die Herrchen bei Tag, ein leidenschaftlicher Künstler unter Geistesverwandten bei Nacht – wenn nur niemand zuhause die farbbeschmierten Pfötchen bemerkt …

        She played and sang

        Jane Austen and music

        by Gillian Dooley

        Like her much-loved heroine Emma Woodhouse, Jane Austen 'played and sang'. Music occupied a central role in her life, and she made brilliant use of it in her books to illuminate characters' personalities and highlight the contrasts between them. Until recently, our knowledge of Austen's musical inclinations was limited to the recollections of relatives who were still in their youth when she passed away. But with the digitisation of music books from her immediate family circle, a treasure trove of evidence has emerged. Delving into these books, alongside letters and other familial records, She played and sang unveils a previously unknown facet of Austen's world. This insightful work not only uncovers the music closely associated with Austen, but also unravels her musical connections with family and friends, revealing the intricate ties between her fiction and the melodies she performed. With these revelations, Austen's musical legacy comes to life, granting us a deeper understanding of her artistic prowess and the influences that shaped her literary masterpieces.

        La hermandad de la Casa Grande (The brotherhood of the Big House)

        Una novela negra sobre el juicio del Estado a los brujos de Chiloé (A detective novel about the state's trial of the witches of Chiloé)

        by Eduardo Pérez Arroyo

        It's 1879. To the north, Chile defends foreign investment in the Pacific War. To the south, beyond the already invaded Araucania, from a large, almost unexplored island, rumors of violence, superstition and a state incapable of enforcing its law spread. The elite would be at ease if some “elements” that are not occupied at the border with Peru penetrated Chiloé. They need evidence to condemn those criminals who terrorize the population with old indigenous beliefs. They call themselves witches. They are organized as La Recta Provincia or La Hermandad de la Casa Grande. They lie to scare and change the names of the cities on the island –Achao, Dalcahue or Quicaví–, confusing them with others: Buenos Aires, Villarrica, Salamanca. If they were only myths, it would be enough for the government to forget that secret place. But the one who calls himself the Greatest Liar in the World claims to have escaped the sorcerers and travels the north glimpsing the aliens: he talks to them of malice, monsters and murders; of the bloody clans' struggles to become a decaying reign. For these lies, or to secure an unstable national pride, coronels and tenants decide to put an end to things that a mortal has no power to finish.
