triumph tree

Schneewittchen ist eines der berührendsten und symbolträchtigsten Märchen der Brüder Grimm – eine Geschichte über Schönheit und Neid, Unschuld und Verrat, Tod und Wiedergeburt. Hinter dem vertrauten Bild des Mädchens mit Haut so weiß wie Schnee, Lippen so rot wie Blut und Haaren so schwarz wie Ebenholz verbirgt sich ein tiefes Sinnbild über Reinheit, Versuchung und die Macht des Guten, das selbst im Dunkelsten weiterleuchtet. Eine eitle Königin, ein magischer Spiegel, ein Jäger mit Gewissen, sieben Zwerge, die Schutz bieten, und ein Apfel, der den Schlaf des Todes bringt – all diese Elemente verweben sich zu einer zeitlosen Erzählung über das Ringen zwischen Licht und Schatten, über den Triumph des Lebens über die Vergänglichkeit. Was als Märchen über Schönheit und Neid beginnt, entfaltet sich zu einer Allegorie über das Erwachsenwerden, die Sehnsucht nach Liebe und die Gefahr der Eitelkeit. Schneewittchen steht als Sinnbild der Unschuld und des inneren Lichts – verfolgt, geprüft, aber unzerstörbar in ihrer reinen Natur. Dieses Hörspiel entfaltet die Magie des Klassikers in einer fesselnden Klangwelt – mit gefühlvoller Stimme, märchenhafter Musik und einer Atmosphäre voller Spannung und Zartheit. Ein Hörerlebnis über das ewige Spiel von Licht und Dunkel, von Schuld und Vergebung – und die Hoffnung, die niemals stirbt.

A WORLDWIDE CLASSIC OF CHILDREN'S LITERATURE: a moving, life-affirming story of a mischevious boy from Brazil and the power of kindness and imagination. Meet Zezé - Brazil's naughtiest and most loveable boy, his talent for mischief matched only by his great kindness. When he grows up he wants to be a poet with a bow-tie, but for now, he entertains himself playing pranks on the residents of his family's poor Rio de Janeiro neighborhood and inventing friends to play with. Zezé's pranks can be a little too mischievous - at least, so say his parents, who punish him harshly when he misbehaves. His father is out of work and the family unhappiness falls hardest on Zezé, the second-youngest of seven siblings. That is, until he meets a real friend, and his life begins to change. With the help of Pinkie, the talking orange tree, Manuel, who gives Zezé rides in his car, and with his own endless supply of resourcefulness and imagination, Zezé will triumph over any adversity. This worldwide classic of children's literature has never been out of print in Brazil since it was first published in 1968. Translated into an astonishing number of languages, it has won the hearts of millions of young readers from Korea to Turkey, Poland to Thailand, and many other countries too, with its inimitable blend of the heart-rending and the whimsical.

This poignant and spellbinding “literary triumph” (Bustle) centers on Iran’s violent summer of 1988 and the fear, anger, and hope felt by the generation after. Neda is born in Iran’s Evin Prison, where her mother is allowed to nurse her for a few months before an anonymous guard appears at the cell door one day and simply takes her away. In another part of the city, three-year-old Omid witnesses the arrests of his political activist parents from his perch at their kitchen table, yogurt dripping from his fingertips. More than twenty years after the violent, bloody purge that took place inside Tehran’s prisons, Sheida learns that her father was one of those executed, that the silent void firmly planted between her and her mother all these years was not just the sad loss that comes with death but the anguish and the horror of murder. These are the Children of the Jacaranda Tree. Set in post-revolutionary Iran from 1983 to 2011, this stunning debut novel follows a group of mothers, fathers, children, and lovers, some related by blood, others brought together by the tide of history that washes over their lives. Finally, years later, it is the next generation that is left with the burden of the past and their country’s tenuous future as a new wave of protest and political strife begins. “Heartbreakingly heroic” (Publishers Weekly), Children of the Jacaranda Tree “is a blistering indictment of tyranny, a poignant tribute to those who bear the scars of it, and a celebration of the human heart’s eternal yearning for freedom” (Khaled Hosseini, #1 New York Timesbestselling author).

* Selected as One of the Best Books of the 21st Century by The New York Times * * WINNER of the National Book Critics Circle Award * Books for a Better Life Award * The New York Times Book Review’s 10 Best Books of the Year * This masterpiece by the National Book Award–winning author of The Noonday Demon features stories of parents who not only learn to deal with their exceptional children, but also find profound meaning in doing so—“a brave, beautiful book that will expand your humanity” (People). Solomon’s startling proposition in Far from the Tree is that being exceptional is at the core of the human condition—that difference is what unites us. He writes about families coping with deafness, dwarfism, Down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, or multiple severe disabilities; with children who are prodigies, who are conceived in rape, who become criminals, who are transgender. While each of these characteristics is potentially isolating, the experience of difference within families is universal, and Solomon documents triumphs of love over prejudice in every chapter. All parenting turns on a crucial question: to what extent should parents accept their children for who they are, and to what extent they should help them become their best selves. Drawing on ten years of research and interviews with more than three hundred families, Solomon mines the eloquence of ordinary people facing extreme challenges. Elegantly reported by a spectacularly original and compassionate thinker, Far from the Tree explores how people who love each other must struggle to accept each other—a theme in every family’s life.

MRS. MIDNIGHT: What's the worst thing about being a celebrity? The intrusive press coverage? Forget it! I do.

THE DANCER IN THE DARK: Against a black backdrop strewn with stars the silver figure in a long, floating dress sang and swirled, the little silk-shod feet mirrored in the polished black floor. Her voice trilled and swooped like an upper-class nightingale, with those odd strangulated vowels so alien to us today.

MINOS OR RHADAMANTHUS: The sun was sinking behind the cricket pavilion, extending its long shadows over the grass of what had once been called 'The Great Field'. Caverner remembered how when he had first arrived as a homesick boy of seven in the summer of the year 1901 it had indeed seemed like a Great Field.

MEETING WITH MIKE: It looked as if one of Mad King Ludwig's fantasy castles had developed middle age spread. It clung to a steep, fir-clad slope; the many turrets and pinnacles, Gothic in appearance if in nothing else, turning its skyline into a forest of steep conical roofs.

THE LOOK: Three weeks after I had arrived in Nairobi in January 1976 my father wrote to me. I took it to be a sign that he was reconciled to the fact that his only son had decided to join a theatre company in what he called 'the back of beyond'.

MR. PIGSNY: It was, I suppose, a typical gangster's funeral. There were the extravagantly insincere floral tributes: TO REG, A DIAMOND GEEZER in white carnations; there was 'My Way' played by the reluctant organist; there was the coffin borne by six burly, blackcoated thugs into a church which Reg would never have entered in his lifetime except to marry or to bury.
