Аннотация
Die junge Vicky musste schon früh schmerzlich erfahren, dass das Schicksal grausam zuschlagen kann. Davon hat sie sich nie wirklich erholt und trägt Dämonen in sich. Ihr Talent ist aber, Unangenehmes ganz weit nach hinten zu schieben. Wozu die Vergangenheit aufarbeiten, wenn man in der Gegenwart leben kann? Sie konzentriert sich auf das Hier und Jetzt und versucht jeden einzelnen Moment intensiv auszukosten und mitzunehmen. Seit Jahren fokussiert sie sich nur auf positive Dinge und blendet Negatives aus, um sich nicht unnötig belasten. Zeit ist kostbar, und sie will ihr Leben genießen und sich frei fühlen. Wie für eine junge Berlinerin wohl üblich, gestaltet Vicky ihr Leben abwechslungsreich – auch sexuell. In der lebendigen und pulsierenden Großstadt fällt ihr das natürlich äußerst leicht. Nach der Trennung von ihrem letzten Freund hat sie auch gar keine Lust mehr, sich festzulegen. Viel zu spannend sind die Möglichkeiten, die sich ergeben, wenn man wachsam, neugierig und aufgeschlossen ist. Die einzige Konstante in Vickys Leben ist ihre Clique. Die Truppe ist Ersatzfamilie, Gang und Aufpasser zugleich, die auch mal mahnend den Finger hebt. Im Grunde erfährt Vicky von ihren Freunden aber stets Rückhalt und wird bei allen ihren wilden Vorhaben unterstützt. So auch, als sie sich mit ihrer besten Freundin Odette zu Halloween bei einer Sex-Kostümparty bewirbt. Alle tuscheln darüber, dass es sie gibt, aber nie erfährt man, was da wirklich los ist. Vickys Abenteuerlust ist geweckt. Sie kann ihr Glück kaum fassen, als sie eine Zusage für die Party erhält. In letzter Zeit sind in ihrem Leben viele seltsame Dinge passiert, die Ablenkung kommt ihr also gerade recht. Ihr neuer Job kostet sie den letzten Nerv und sie wünscht sich einfach nur eine heiße Nacht. Ihre Fantasie schlägt Purzelbäume, denn alles und nichts ist möglich. Aber Simon, dem heißen Typen, den sie gerade kennengelernt hat, verrät sie besser nicht, was sie vorhat. Wer weiß, wie sich das mit ihm weiterentwickelt. Er gefällt ihr gut. Zumindest vögelt er sie um den Verstand und das kann sich Vicky auf Dauer doch nicht entgehen lassen…

Аннотация
War and Peace is a novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russkii Vestnik, which tells the story of Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy's two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world's greatest novels. War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, marriage, age, and death. Though it is often called a novel today, it broke so many conventions of the form that it was not considered a novel in its time. Indeed, Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense.

Alan Grant, Scotland Yard Inspector is feeling bored while confined to bed in hospital with a broken leg. Marta Hallard, an actress friend of his, suggests that he should amuse himself by researching a historical mystery. She brings him some pictures of historical characters, aware of Grant's interest in human faces. He becomes intrigued by a portrait of King Richard III. He prides himself on being able to read a person's character from his appearance, and King Richard seems to him a gentle, kind and wise man. Why is everyone so sure that he was a cruel murderer? With the help of other friends and acquaintances, Grant investigates Richard's life and the case of the Princes in the Tower, testing out his theories on the doctors and nurses who attend to him. Grant spends weeks pondering historical information and documents with the help of Brent Carradine, a likable young American researcher working in the British Museum. Using his detective's logic, he tries to come to the conclusion whether the claim of Richard being a murderer is a fabrication of Tudor propaganda, or was he really a monstrous hunchback. The Daughter of Time was voted greatest mystery novel of all time by the Crime Writers' Association in 1990.

Ein spannendes Märchen, bei dem Wilhelm Hauff die Sage vom Fliegenden Holländer in einen orientalischen Kontext verlegt: Der Ich-Erzähler Achmet befindet sich auf einer Handelsreise.

Nur Achmet und sein Diener Ibrahim überleben und können sich auf das andere Schiff retten. Doch das Schiff ist voller Leichen, und es gehen dort merkwürdige Dinge vor sich…-

Аннотация
The Brothers Karamazov is the final novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky, and is generally considered the culmination of his life's work. Dostoevsky spent nearly two years writing The Brothers Karamazov, which was published as a serial in The Russian Messenger and completed in November 1880. Dostoevsky intended it to be the first part in an epic story titled The Life of a Great Sinner, but he died less than four months after its publication.
The book portrays a parricide in which each of the murdered man's sons share a varying degree of complicity. On a deeper level, it is a spiritual drama of moral struggles concerning faith, doubt, reason, free will and modern Russia. Dostoevsky composed much of the novel in Staraya Russa, which is also the main setting of the novel.

Over forty years as a missionary traveling through four continents has brought A. W. Trenholm in contact with many divergent doctrines and, often, misrepresentations of the existence, nature, and purpose of hell. Hell is usually represented as a place of eternal suffering, but in his own journey there, unlike in Dante's trip to the Inferno, Trenholm was directed by what the Bible actually says about it, all the while escorted by a very lovely and knowledgeable guide. He discovered a hell vastly different from the one he had been led to expect and came to realize that many of his notions about the devil and the eternal fate of souls were not as fixed as he had thought. He found that, surprisingly, demons are not confined to a burning lake of fire. In fact no one was–at least not yet.
