Alles, was ich weiß über die Liebe

Dolly Alderton

Ehrlich und humorvoll verwebt die britischen Journalistin und Podcasterin Dolly Alderton in ihrer Autobiografie persönliche Erlebnisse und witzige Anekdoten mit scharfsinnigen Reflexionen darüber, was es heute heißt, eine Frau zu sein. Eine großartige Liebeserklärung – an das Leben. Ein warmes und witziges Memoir über das Erwachsenwerden und alle Lektionen, die man dabei lernt: Dolly Alderton weiß wirklich alles über desaströse Dates, chaotische Nächte und falsche Entscheidungen. Sie weiß, wie es ist, wenn einem das Herz gebrochen wird – aber auch, wie man es flickt. Denn vor allem erzählt Dolly so brutal ehrlich wie unfassbar komisch vom großen Glück der Freundschaften, die fürs Leben sind und nicht nur Lückenfüller zwischen Liebhabern. Dolly Alderton kennt alle Seiten der Liebe, die guten und die dunklen. Da ist der Guru, der tief in ihr Inneres schauen kann und der sich am Morgen nach der lang ersehnten ersten Nacht doch aus dem Staub macht. Oder ein dubioser Kerl in New York, der sie zu einem Dreier überreden will. Oder der verplante Hippie, für den sie sich die Haare abrasiert. Und dann stellt Dolly plötzlich fest, dass es Liebe auch ganz anders gibt und dass die Freundschaften mit ihren Mädels ihr mehr über die Liebe beigebracht haben als alle Männer. Freundinnen, die für einen da sind, wenn man nicht weiß, wovon man die Miete zahlen soll, wenn eine Beziehung zerbrochen ist oder die Rod-Stewart-Mottoparty nach hinten losgeht.

Becoming

Michelle Obama

An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WATCH THE EMMY-NOMINATED NETFLIX ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER • ONE OF ESSENCE’S 50 MOST IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare. In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it—in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same.

The Writing Life

Annie Dillard

Dillard describes the working life of a writer. She probes and exposes, examines and analyzes, as she recounts what the actual process of writing feels like.

Mary Stuart

Friedrich Schiller

Schiller was profoundly shaken by the failure of the French Revolution and devoted many of his greatest works to debating the true nature of freedom. Here, in scenes alternating between the palace of Westminster and the prison at Fotheringhay, he shows us a captive heroine rising above her suffering to gain in insight and spiritual depth. The deceitful and indecisive Elizabeth, trapped by the cruel demands of Realpolitik, can achieve worldly victory only at a terrible moral cost. Schiller's early plays are full of violent actions and language, but he later adopted a far more restrained and formal style to try and capture the emotional essence of complex events. Perhaps more than any of his other tragedies, Mary Stuart achieves a perfect balance between the "classical," "Shakespearean," and "romantic" elements of his genius.

Do You Know Love?

,Mr. Mike

Have you ever loved someone? Have you ever loved something? Is there a difference in loving one and loving the other? Can love be many things? Can love really only be about one thing? Is love a feeling you have toward someone or something? Can you love and never feel anything? Would that be real love? Have you ever changed how or what you've thought about love? Have you ever thought there is no one that could ever love you? Have you ever decided to stop looking for love because you'll never find anyone who really loves you unconditionally without changing and without even a hint of anything but love? You are about to find out what love isn't and what love is and to know there is someone who loves you unconditionally forever.

Thoughts on Death and Immortality

From the Papers of a Thinker, along with an Appendix of Theological Satirical Epigrams, Edited by One of his Friends

Ludwig Feuerbach

Never translated before, 'Thoughts on Death and Immortality' was the first published work of Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-1872). The scandal created by portrayal of Christianity as an egoistic and inhumane religion cost the young Hegelian his job and, to some extent, his career. Joining philosophical argument to epigram, lyric, and satire, the work has three central arguments: first, a straightforward denial of the Christian belief in personal immortality; second, a plea for recognition of the inexhaustible quality of the only life we have; and third, a derisive assault on the posturings and hypocrisies of the professional theologians of nineteenth-century Germany.
