Michael Ahearn ist in den besten Jahren, Familienvater und lehrt Literatur an einem College im Mittleren Westen. Sein scheinbar glückliches Leben gerät aus den Fugen, als die Politik-Professorin Lara auf dem Campus auftaucht: kosmopolitisch, erotisch und geheimnisvoll. Sie führt Michael in Versuchung, und er ahnt, dass er mehr riskiert als einen Seitensprung. Im Sog dieser »amour fou« folgt Ahearn seiner Geliebten in ihre karibische Heimat, wo er in eine Spirale aus Voodoo und Gewalt gerät.»Was zunächst nach einem der üblichen Campus-Romane aussieht, entwickelt sich schnell zum spannungsreichen Zusammenprall zweier Kulturen.«Kieler Nachrichten

„Das Geschrei deiner Feinde“ ist ein Roman über Amerikaner, die in den Strudel von Tecan, einem kleinen zentralamerikanischen Land am Rande der Revolution, gezogen werden. An einer Mission an der Küste verfällt ein Priester in alkoholischen Mystizismus, während eine junge amerikanische Nonne sich dem Engagement für die Sache zuwendet. In einer Bar in Brooklyn trifft Frank Holliwell beim Mittagessen auf einen alten CIA-Freund, der um einen Gefallen bittet. An der Tex-Mex-Grenze steht Pablo, ein Desertierer der Küstenwache, der unter dem Einfluss von Speed steht, kurz davor, einen Job anzunehmen, bei dem er mysteriöse Schmuggelware nach Tecan transportieren soll. Während sich diese Leben kreuzen und diese kleine, überfüllte Welt explodiert, baut sich der Roman zu einem elektrisierenden Höhepunkt auf.

Die Geschichte eines Mannes auf der Suche nach seinem Platz in der Welt. Seine große Herausforderung: eine Einhandregatta rund um die Welt, bei der er alles riskieren muß

Jerusalem, die heiligste aller Städte zu Beginn der neunziger Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts: Der amerikanische Journalist Chris Lucas hat genug von der Berichterstattung in Krisengebieten und möchte statt dessen eine – vermeintlich ungefährliche – Story über religiösen Wahn in Israel schreiben. Seine Recherchen führen ihn jedoch mitten in gewalttätige Unruhen im Gazastreifen, und er wird in eine Verschwörung verwickelt, an der jüdische Extremisten und christliche Fundamentalisten gleichermaßen beteiligt sind, wenngleich mit verschiedenen Zielen: Die Sprengung des Tempelbergs soll für die einen die Wiederkehr des Messias herbeiführen, für die anderen zur Errichtung des Salomonischen Tempels dienen. Doch nichts ist eindeutig auf diesem uralten Terrain, keiner ist ganz der, der er scheint, alles steht mit allem in Verbindung. Kann die Tat noch vereitelt werden?

In the Secret Life of Your Cells, Robert B. Stone, Ph.D., explores the latest research of Cleve Backster, who by attaching a lie-detector to the leaf of a plant discovered that it had feelings and the ability to read our thoughts. Now this ability - primary perception - has been traced over to disconnected single cells of our own bodies. What millions of Americans saw reported on TV's Incredible Sunday, Dr. Stone now shares in depth in The Secret Life of Your Cells. The implications and possibilities of that discovery, and the difficult struggle it has had in finding acceptance in the tradition-bound scientific community makes exciting, challenging, mind-expanding reading.

The definitive collection of nonfiction--from war reporting to literary criticism to the sharpest political writing--from the "legend of American letters" (Vanity Fair) Robert Stone was a singular American writer, a visionary whose award-winning novels--including Dog Soldiers, Outerbridge Reach, and Damascus Gate--earned him comparisons to literary lions ranging from Samuel Beckett to Ernest Hemingway to Graham Greene. Stone had an almost prophetic grasp of the spirit of his age, which he captured with crystalline clarity in each of his novels. Of course, he was also a sharp and brilliant observer of American life, and his nonfiction writing is revelatory. The Eye You See With--the first and only collection of Robert Stone's nonfiction--was carefully selected by award-winning novelist and Stone biographer Madison Smartt Bell. Divided into three sections, the collection includes the best of Stone's war reporting, his writing on social change, and his reflections on the art of fiction. This is an extraordinary volume that offers up a clear-eyed look at the twentieth century and secures Robert Stone's place as one of the most original figures in all of American letters.

In 1992, Richard Ford edited and introduced the first Granta Book of the American Short Story . It became the definitive anthology of American short fiction written in the last half of the twentieth century—an “exemplary choice” in the words of The Washington Post —with stories by Eudora Welty, John Cheever, Raymond Carver, and forty others demonstrating how much memorable power can lie in the briefest narration. In the years since, Ford has been reading new stories and rereading old ones and selecting new favorites. This new collection features more than forty stories, including some he regretted overlooking the first time around, as well as many by a new generation of writers—among them Sherman Alexie, Junot Díaz, Deborah Eisenberg, Nell Freudenberger, Matthew Klam, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Z. Z. Packer. None of the stories (though a few of the writers) were in the first volume. Once again, Ford’s introduction is an illuminating exposition of how a good story is written by a master of the craft.

But back in the States, things go horribly wrong for him. Dog Soldiers perfectly captures the underground mood of America in the 1970s, when amateur drug dealers and hippies encountered profiteering cops and professional killers - and the price of survival was dangerously high.

In Fun with Problems, Robert Stone demonstrates once again that he is “one of our greatest living writers” (Los Angeles Times). The stories in this new collection share the signature blend of longing, violence, and black humor with which Stone illuminates the dark corners of the human soul. Entire lives are laid bare with remarkable precision, in captivating prose: a screenwriter carries on a decades-long affair with a beautiful actress, whose descent into addiction he can neither turn from nor share; a bored husband picks up a mysterious woman only to find that his ego has led him woefully astray; a world-beating Silicon Valley executive receives an unwelcome guest at his mansion in the hills; a scuba dive guides uneasy newlyweds to a point of no return.Fun with Problems showcases Stone’s great gift: to pinpoint and make real the impulses—by turns violently coercive and quietly seductive—that cause us to conceal, reveal, and betray our truest selves.

The book explores the emergence of a transformative spiritual experience that promises to reveal the abundant treasures of heaven. It delves into the concept of a new dimension of glory, inviting readers to anticipate and embrace this divine revelation that can enrich their spiritual lives. Through this journey, the author encourages a deeper connection with the heavenly realm, emphasizing the potential for profound personal and communal growth.
