Mytologi

Zeus, Hera, and the rest of the Greek gods are no more. The sudden disappearance of the once-great Pantheon throws the land into turmoil, and the citizens turn to their heroes and kings--Odysseus, Perseus, Hercules, Jason, and the Argonauts--for answers and guidance. The gorgon sisters, Sthenno and Euryale, seize the opportunity given to them by the gods' absence. Allying with Parthenope, queen of the Sirens, and Polyphemus, the cyclops lord, they devise a plan to become the new rulers of Greece. Will the strength of Greece's greatest heroes be enough to win the coming war? Or will the struggle for power plunge Greece into the dark ages?

Goethes Märchen von einem reisenden Tauge­nichts und dessen leidenschaftlicher Beziehung zu einer schönen Unbekannten beruht auf dem uralten Mythos der Verbindung eines Menschen mit einem nichtmenschlichen Wesen, der schon in der vedischen und griechischen Literatur zu finden ist. Goethe wandelte den Stoff so eigenwillig ab, dass er daraus eine »neue Melusine« schuf. Der Ich­erzähler ist eine Figur aus »Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre«, Goethes spätem Roman, der als sein persönlichstes Werk gilt, in dem viele kleine Geschichten erzählt werden. Die phantasievolle Erzählung ist illustriert mit Farbbildern von M. Wehlau und mit Pinselzeichnungen von Arnold Bierwisch. Ein Glossar am Ende erklärt altertümliche Wörter für den Schulunterricht.

Eisige Stille des Mondes - das ist niveauvolle, spannungsgeladene Unterhaltung pur! In drei voneinander unabhängigen Erzählungen bestehen die Hauptpersonen aufregende Abenteuer in weitgehend unberührter Natur. Dabei sind die Schauplätze sind so unterschiedlich, wie die Protagonisten: Der Fotograf James Bradey gerät in Südafrika inmitten der Kalahari-Wüste in eine skurrile Lage, während der Indiojunge Anax im dichten Regenwald des Amazonas lebensgefährlichen Widrigkeiten trotzt. Die literarische Trias wird vervollständigt durch den finnischen Bandleader Toivo Harinen, dem binnen 48 Stunden im tief verschneiten Lappland auf schicksalhafte Weise drastisch die Fallstricke der existenziellen Vielfalt des Lebens vor Augen geführt werden. Wer stilvolle, fesselnde Unterhaltung mit Tiefgang und einem Schuss Skurrilität sucht, der liegt mit diesem Erzählband genau richtig!
