The Dain Curse
di Dashiell Hammett
Miss Gabriel Dain Leggett is young and wealthy, with a penchant for morphine and religious cults. She also has an unfortunate effect on the people around her. They die – violently. Is she the victim of a family curse? The short, squat, utterly unsentimental Continental Op, the best private detective around, has his doubts and finds himself confronting something infinitely more dangerous. This is the Continental Op’s most bizarre case.

The Hungry Tide
di Amitav Ghosh
‘Amitav Ghosh is such a fascinating and seductive writer… I cannot think of another contemporary writer with whom it would be this thrilling to go so far, so fast’ The Times
January 2001: A small ship, led by wealthy Scotsman Daniel Hamilton, arrives in the Sundarbans, a vast archipelago of islands in the mythical river Ganges, a half-drowned land where the waters of the Himalayas merge with the incoming tides of the sea.
In the Sundarbans the tides reach more than 100 miles inland, and every day thousands of hectares of forest disappear only to re-emerge hours later. Dense as the mangrove forests are, from Hamilton’s point of view, it is only a little less barren than a desert.
The eccentric Scotsman and the scientists on board the ship disembark to study this little-known environment, and to trace the journeys of the descendants of this society. Their goal? To create a utopian society, of all races and religions, and conquer the might of the Sundarbans.

Tres tristes tigres
di Guillermo Cabrera Infante
Los verdaderos personajes de Tres tristes tigres (el título viene de un trabalenguas infantil cubano) son la nostalgia, la literatura, la ciudad, la música y la noche habanera, que al final comienza a amanecer, lenta y reveladora, y también esa forma actual de arte que parece reunirlas en una sola cosa: el cine.

Typologische Variation im Deutschen
di Torsaten Roelcke
Der vorliegende Band stellt eine umfassende sprachtypologische Charakterisierung des Deutschen und seiner Variation dar. Variationstypologie, eine Verbindung aus Variationslinguistik und Sprachtypologie, interpretiert empirische Daten der Variationslinguistik, etwa in Lautung, Wortschatz oder Grammatik, anhand systematischer Kriterien der Sprachtypologie (etwa synthetischer und analytischer Sprachbau oder Regeln der Wort- und Satzgliedstellung). Sie erlaubt auf diese Weise vertiefte Einsichten in die einzelsprachliche Variation sowie in übereinzelsprachliche Gestaltungsprinzipien.
Das Buch gliedert sich in sieben Kapitel:
- Grundlagen
- Typologische Charakterisierung
- Lautliche Variation
- Morphologische und morphosyntaktische Variation
- Syntaktische Variation
- Historische Entwicklung
- Typologische Variation der Gegenwartssprache
Zahlreiche Abbildungen und Tabellen machen den Band zu einem idealen Begleiter im Studium. Er wendet sich nicht allein an Germanisten, sondern öffnet sich auch Fremdsprachenphilologien sowie den Bereichen DaF und DaZ.

Un largo silencio
di Ángeles Caso
Finalizada la guerra civil española, una mujer cuyo marido e hijo pertenecieron al bando republicano regresa a la ciudad de provincias en la que había transcurrido su vida hasta el final del conflicto. Sus hijas y su nieta de pocos años la acompañan. Como si de un fatal presagio se tratara, un fuerte aguacero recibe a ese grupo de mujeres, cansadas, débiles, derrotadas, en cuyas miradas late, sin embargo, toda la voluntad y el deseo de salir adelante de los supervivientes.
Salvo la niña, todas han perdido mucho, quizá demasiado, con la guerra. En breve, los vencedores comenzarán a dejarles claro que tampoco podrán recuperar nada de cuanto aún creían poseer, desde la casa familiar, que les ha sido usurpada, hasta la belleza de sus sueños. La derrota no sólo ha sido total: debe ser continua.
