Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a novel that follows a girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantastical world filled with peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. In this whimsical realm, she encounters a series of bizarre characters and experiences nonsensical events that challenge her understanding of reality. The narrative explores themes of identity, curiosity, and the absurdity of life, as Alice navigates through a landscape where logic is turned upside down. The story is marked by its playful language, imaginative scenarios, and the exploration of childhood wonder and confusion. As Alice interacts with characters like the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts, she embarks on a journey that reflects the complexities of growing up and the search for one's place in the world. Ultimately, Alice's adventures serve as a celebration of imagination and the limitless possibilities of storytelling.

William Shakespeare. Born April 1564, at Stratford-upon-Avon. Died April 1616. Married Anne Hathaway: two daughters, one son. Actor, poet, famous playwright. Wrote nearly forty plays. But what was he like as a man? What did he think about when he rode into London for the first time ... or when he was writing his plays Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet ... or when his only son died? We know the facts of his life, but we can only guess at his hopes, his fears, his dreams.--Quatrième de couverture

'Der Untergang des Hauses Usher' erzählt in schaurig-schönen düsteren Bildern und mit großer psychologischer Raffinesse vom alptraumhaften Niedergang einer Familiendynastie, dessen Verlauf tief in die beklemmenden Abgründe der menschlichen Seele führt.

"Horseracing is the sport of kings, perhaps because racehorses are very expensive animals. But when they win races, they can make a lot of money too - money for the owners, for the trainers, and for the people who put bets on them to win. Silver Blaze is a young horse, but already the winner of many races. One night he disappears from his stables, and someone kills his trainer. The police want the killer, and the owner wants his horse, but they can't find them. So what do they do? They write to 221B Baker Street, London, of course - to ask for the help of the great detective, Sherlock Holmes."--Publisher

Waverly, June, Rose und Lena, vier junge Frauen in San Francisco. Durch und durch Amerikanerinnen, die in ihrem Leben mehr Cola als Kummer geschluckt haben - im Gegensatz zu ihren Müttern. Die sind 1949 unter dramatischen Umständen vor der Roten Armee in die Vereinigten Staaten geflüchtet und noch immer chinesisch bis in die Knochen. Einmal im Monat treffen sich die zerbrechlichen alten Damen zum Mah-Jongg-Spiel, etwas, wozu ihre Töchter weder Zeit noch Lust haben. Waverly, June, Rose und Lena düsen nämlich gerade so schön auf der gesellschaftlichen Überholspur dahin. Da ist kein Platz für chinesische Mütter mit chinesischen Ansichten: daß nur eine unterwürfige Tochter eine gute Tochter ist. Von wegen! Die vier wollen schräge Sprüche, schräge Bilder und schräge Wände entwerfen und ihr eigenes Leben als Werbetexterin, Malerin, Innenarchitektin und Steuerberaterin leben. Mit der Kraft und Farbigkeit von Feuerwerkskörpern schießt Amy Tan, die als Tochter chinesischer Einwanderer in Kalifornien geboren wurde, ihre eigensinnigen Figuren in die literarische Umlaufbahn und entfacht dabei ein schillerndes Spektakel aus Mütter-Töchter-Kämpfen, Kulturkollisionen und Generationskonflikten.
