      A specially produced paperback edition -- with flaps -- of the phenomenal #1 New York Times bestseller, that has sold more than six million copies in hardcover Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in a meaningless life of fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. His days are a dull routine of work, loneliness, and regret. Then, on his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people. These people may have been loved ones or distant strangers. Yet each of them changed your path forever. One by one, Eddie's five people illuminate the unseen connections of his earthly life. As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life: Was it a heroic success or a devastating failure The answer, which comes from the most unlikely of sources, is as inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself. In The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom gives us an astoundingly original story that will change everything you've ever thought about the afterlife -- and the meaning of our lives here on earth. With a timeless tale, appealing to all, this is a book that readers of fine fiction, and those who loved Tuesdays with Morrie, will treasure.

      Englische Literatur in Reclams Roter Reihe: das ist der englische Originaltext – mit Worterklärungen am Fuß jeder Seite, Nachwort und Literaturhinweisen. Conrad verarbeitet in diesem grandiosen kleinen Roman sein eigenes Kongo-Abenteuer, von dem ihm eine zeitlebens zerrüttete Gesundheit und alptraumhafte Erinnerungen geblieben waren. Der Erzähler Marlow geißelt in der Figur des pervertierten Handelsagenten Kurtz den europäischen Kolonialismus, aber dem Autor geht es um mehr: die Fahrt in den urweltlichen Dschungel wird zur Entdeckungsreise ins Ungewisse der eigenen Existenz, in die Untiefen des Halb- und Unterbewußtseins, ins finstere Labyrinth von Lüge und Schuld. Englische Lektüre: Niveau C1 (GER)

    • Set in medieval Paris, Victor Hugoʹs powerful historical romance The Hunchback of Notre-Dame has resonated with succeeding generations ever since its publication in 1837. It tells the story of the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda, condemned as a witch by the tormented archdeacon Claude Frollo, who lusts after her. Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral, having fallen in love with the kindhearted Esmeralda, tries to save her by hiding her in the cathedralʹs tower. When a crowd of Parisian peasants, misunderstanding Quasimodoʹs motives, attacks the church in an attempt to liberate her, the story ends in tragedy.

      In Trumble, een lichtbeveiligde strafinstelling, zit de gebruikelijke verzameling criminelen: drugsdealers, bankrovers, oplichters, belastingontduikers, twee beursfraudeurs, een arts en ten minste vier advocaten. En drie ex-rechters die samen De Broederschap vormen: een uit Texas, een uit California en een uit Mississippi. Ze ontmoeten elkaar dagelijks in de gevangenisbibliotheek, die ze tot hun eigen territorium gemaakt hebben. Hier bestuderen ze hun dossiers, behandelen ze de zaken van hun medegevangenen en leggen ze soms zelfs straffen op. Ze hebben het recht in eigen hand genomen en zitten urenlang te broeden hoe ze zich nog meer kunnen verrijken. Maar dan gaat het mis met een van hun onfrisse zaakjes. Ze laten de verkeerde in de val lopen: een onschuldige 'van buiten', een man met gevaarlijke vrienden...
