Sie hat einen Menschen erschossen. Im Dienst und aus Notwehr, das hat sie schwarz auf weiß. Doch Chefinspektorin Sigrid Ødegård kommt über den Vorfall nicht hinweg. Denn in Norwegen schießt die Polizei nun mal keine Leute tot. Oslo ist nicht Amerika. In Amerika sehen Polizisten anders aus. Manche, wie Sheriff Irv Wylie, tragen sogar Cowboyhut und Stiefel. Irv ist auf der Suche nach einem Mann, der seine Freundin umgebracht haben soll. Ein Europäer. Aus Norwegen. Und plötzlich hat Irv die Schwester des Flüchtigen am Hals. Will die Inspektorin aus Oslo Amtshilfe leisten? Oder Fluchthilfe?
Ein alter Mann, den man lieben muss. Ein Buch, das man lieben wird
Nach dem Tod seiner Frau ist Sheldon Horowitz mit 82 Jahren zu seiner Enkelin nach Oslo gezogen. In ein fremdes Land ohne Juden. Viel Zeit, um über die Vergangenheit nachzudenken. All die Erinnerungen. All die Toten.
Eines Tages hört Sheldon aus dem Treppenhaus Krach: Er öffnet die Tür, und in seiner Wohnung steht eine Frau mit einem kleinen Jungen. Kurze Zeit später ist die Tür aufgebrochen, die Frau tot und Sheldon mit dem Kind auf der Flucht den Oslofjord hinauf.
Was wollen die Verfolger von dem Jungen? Sheldon weiß es nicht. Aber er weiß: Sie werden ihn nicht kriegen.
A coming-of-age story set during the rising tide of World War II, How to Find Your Way in the Dark follows Sheldon Horowitz from his humble start in a cabin in rural Massachusetts, through the trauma of his father's murder and the murky experience of assimilation in Hartford, Connecticut, to the birth of stand-up comedy in the Catskills--all while he and his friends are beset by anti-Semitic neighbors, employers, and criminals.
We will lie, cheat, steal, fight, kill, and sin our way to Napoli. We will trust no one but each other, and we will remember that in this place, at this time, there is no way to tell friend from foe. The bombing of Rome in 1943 leaves fourteen-year-old Massimo orphaned and with no choice but to set out on a perilous journey to find his remaining family in Naples. A chance meeting with the mysterious and charismatic Pietro Houdini will deliver both of them to the doors of the monastery of Monte Cassino, a centuries-old haven of contemplation, learning and art. But the abbey is in the path of the relentless Allied advance to Rome. Pietro and Massimo need a plan to survive the coming onslaught and that means out-manoeuvring the Germans who are as interested in the abbey's art collection as in the murder of two of their officers in the town below. For their plan to work, they must dissemble, disguise, and outwit two armies using skills that Pietro has in spades, but as war edges ever closer, it becomes clear that Massimo is not without a surprise or two either... The Curse of Pietro Houdini is a sweeping tale of resilience, hope and survival which is at once an action-packed adventure heist, an imaginative chronicle of forgotten history and a philosophical coming-of-age story.

Focusing on the concept of media pressure, this study develops a comprehensive theory detailing its mechanisms and measurement, grounded in positioning theory from discursive psychology. It presents a unique historical analysis comparing media pressure with coverage, using the 1991 insurrection against Saddam Hussein as a pivotal case study. This exploration sheds light on the dynamics between media influence and public perception during significant political events.
