1. Geparden Verlag Lass es gut sein
Larissa struggles with her role as a mother, her unfulfilled life goals, and the influences of her background, upbringing, and societal conventions. In the middle of her life, she begins to question the foundations of her situation. How did she become the woman she is – and does not like? The more she tries to untangle the web of relationships in which she is woven as a mother, wife, and daughter, the more fragile her self-assurance as a self-determined, emancipated woman, as she has always seen herself, becomes. A novel of great explosive power that encourages readers to ask uncomfortable questions and take the desire for liberation seriously.
2. Geparden Verlag Findet mich
Tie, rank, after-work beer: It could always go on like this. But Erwin, a man in his mid-fifties and a family father, breaks free. Once a free spirit, he plunges back into a wild, unbound adventure life after decades. He goes underground, flees into nature, and soon becomes missing. "Find Me" portrays the psychological profile of a man who is ultimately diagnosed with a psychosis and whose family no longer recognizes him. Doris Wirth tells this story as a long-term portrait, taking on shifting perspectives; she flashes back to the past of Erwin's marriage, the social circumstances of starting a family, and the reactions of the children growing up in these conditions. "Find Me" is a gripping debut novel that questions the effects of self-definition through performance and work, highlighting the constraints and limitations in our society.
3. Geparden Verlag System und Irrtum
Science is an important bulwark against irrationality and manipulation and holds immense potential for humanity. However, where the scientific system generates consequential blind spots, where science is idealized, the prerequisites of methods of knowledge and conclusions must be questioned all the more critically and unreservedly. Forensic psychiatrist Frank Urbaniok, who operates at the critical intersection of a psychiatric-psychological discipline, the legal system, and society, highlights fundamental misconceptions and fallacies regarding determination, causality, free will, and risk assessment in his enlightening essay. He succinctly and clearly articulates the current limits of science and, with his recurring humor and concrete examples, provides an engaging reading experience.
4. Geparden Verlag Was Theater kann
Theatre is described as a "living art". The forms of the performing arts are constantly in motion and today more than ever in a state of flux. Therein lies the great challenge for theatre as well as for filmmakers. In these new programmatic texts, in which he deals, among other things, with the intellectual legacy of Hannah Arendt, the well-known theatre director and author Milo Rau describes the foundations and prerequisites of his thinking and his way of working. He tells how he places political attitudes and aesthetics in a creative relationship of tension with each other in a global realism. The detailed dialogue with the Dutch theatre critic Marijn Lems outlines Milo Rau's vision of a theatre of the future, how he has concretely realised it in collaboration with others and how he continues to realise it.
A foreword by the playwright and writer Sibylle Berg acknowledges the significance of Milo Rau's work and places it in the history of politically moving art.
5. Geparden Verlag Wohnung Nummer acht
In a remote suburb of Mestre stands an inconspicuous house and tells of its inhabitants. They are normal people, but only at first glance - behind closed doors they are something else entirely.On the ground floor, for example, Mr and Mrs Busetto are always standing behind the peephole with curiosity and envy, watching the Chinellatos on the other side of the corridor. They are always hungry and it soon becomes clear that eating is more than just a passion for this family. Strange, bizarre and sometimes terrifying things also happen on the first, second and third floors ... And there is one question that keeps everyone very busy: Who or what is hiding behind the door of the eighth flat? Massimo Cuomo's novel is a literary gem that takes a close look at human abnormalities and abysses, lovingly but also entertainingly and with a great sense of humour.
6. Geparden Verlag Es ist sein Leben
Stories by Silvio Blatter are a precious rarity. We are therefore delighted to present this volume featuring eight tales by the renowned writer. In these compelling stories, Silvio Blatter skillfully weaves together lightness and depth as he explores turning points in the lives of his characters, significant experiences, and themes of departure and farewell. His characters are haunted by coincidences and attempt to outsmart their fate with cunning, intentional forgetfulness, a thirst for adventure, or improvisation. Whether it's a birthday party thwarted by wildfires, the final journey of an elderly couple to Elvis's grave, the clever exchange game of twin brothers, the intrusion of global politics into the tranquility of Switzerland, or the painful memory of a first love abruptly lost: Silvio Blatter masterfully plays on the literary keyboard of multifaceted motives and characters. Or to put it in the words of one of his characters' special talent: he plays literary blind chess.
7. Geparden Verlag Strandliebe
In the coastal town of Ashkelon, Shoah survivors try to build a new existence between sand and sea. Their children want to leave the past behind them on the dance floor and with the sound of sixties hits. But the shadows reach out to them. Esther, Moïse and Alejandro experience an inescapable love during this summer, in which hidden connections between their families emerge. The well-known Israeli author Michal Govrin paints a seismographic triangular relationship that gets under your skin.
8. Geparden Verlag Bleiben tun sie nie
The first collection of stories by the successful author Sunil Mann. A series of twelve tales, one for each month, are gathered in this volume. Mysteriously, they are interconnected beneath the surface. Sunil Mann describes the coming and going of nature, narrating themes of hope and transience within the yearly cycle: from awakening love, fragile happiness, complicated love triangles, cooling passions, to the longing for a better life. In the biting cold, a once-celebrated ballet dancer steps back into the public eye, and her desire for new friends becomes a certainty. Warm summer evenings, on the other hand, escalate the smoldering hatred among young men in a village - with fatal consequences. Autumn and winter bring disillusionment and necessary clarity. After his first literary novel, Sunil Mann ventures into a new literary genre, impressively demonstrating how well this form suits him. With nuanced language, he modulates the warmth and coldness of human relationships and tells of fates that resonate long after. And he wouldn't be Sunil Mann if he didn't do this with a fine sense of humor and irony - all while being highly entertaining.
