Beschreibung

Olivia Evezi's childhood is a happy one; her days are spent listening to highlife records and poring over the colourful postcards from Germany. When she leaves her hometown of Warri behind to live out her Enid Blyton fantasies in a boarding school in Lagos, instead of adventure and lacrosse, she is met with punishments, endless chores and hazing rituals.
 
Olivia's restlessness takes her to Germany, her mothe's homeland, where she is thrown into a hidden world of workers and migrants; a world of constant vigilance, where a piece of paper can hold the key to survival. Olivia finds that she is destined to always be an outsider -- too white for Nigeria and too black for Germany -- and so must learn to define herself and her place in the world beyond the labels that have been given to her: exotic, foreign, oyinbo.
 
German Calendar No December is a candid and reflective coming of age tale about learning to navigate the world, with the help of good music, good books, good friends, and a touch of courage.
Verfügbar seit: 13.11.2018.

    Illustrated guide to the controversial sociologist Jean Baudrillard, who died in 2007. Did the Gulf War take place? Is it possible to fake a bank robbery? Was sexual liberation a disaster? Jean Baudrillard has been hailed as one of France's most subtle and powerful theorists. But his provocative style and assaults on sociology, feminism and Marxism have exposed him to accusations of promoting a dangerous new orthodoxy - of being the 'pimp' of postmodernism. Introducing Baudrillard cuts beneath the controversy of this misunderstood intellectual to present his radical claims that reality has been replaced by a simulated world of images and events ranging from TV news to Disneyland. It provides a clear account of Baudrillard's work on obesity, pornography and terrorism and traces his development from critic of mass consumption to prophet of the apocalypse. Chris Horrocks' text and Zoran Jevtic?s artwork invite us to decide whether Baudrillard was a cure for the vertigo of contemporary culture - or one of its symptoms

    At the crossroads where insanity meets reality, in this true-life psychological thriller that reads more like a sci-fi / fantasy novel, see how one man’s quest to help save the world turns his rock-star like rise into higher-consciousness and the paranormal into one of the greatest nightmares imaginable. Going from the heights of falling in love and discovering his special powers to the literal depths of hell itself, join Anthony D. Benevolent as he pieces together the shattered parts of his life and his experience to solve the mystery of not only what has happened to him, but most importantly the ‘why’ and where it all leads. 
    From aliens and demons, past-lives and prophetic dreams, to hallucinogens and astral-travel alike, follow along in this most wild and unpredictable of rides as he attempts to escape the inter-dimensional plot he has gotten himself into. 
    This action and character driven memoirs of his abduction, implantation and consequential search for answers will challenge our modern scientific prospective on, not just what is happening in the skies above, but within this very matrix which we call reality. 
    The reader will be left guessing whether this most unlikely character is the prophesized man, the myth, the legend of the end of times or just a victim to the cruelties of his ignorance and what lurks beyond the veil of our 3rd dimension.

    The second volume of this retrospective anthology covers the Pulitzer prize-winning cartoon strip from 1980 to 1989. 
     
    On October 26, 1970, G.B. Trudeau introduced the world to a college jock named B.D. and his inept and geeky roommate, Mike Doonesbury. Fourteen thousand strips later, Doonesbury has become one of the most beloved and acclaimed comic strips in history. Over the years, the world of Doonesbury grew uniquely vast, sustained by an intricately woven web of relationships—over forty major characters spanning three generations.  
     
    The complete 40: A Doonesbury Anthology presents more than 1,800 comic strips that chart key adventures and cast connections over the last four decades. Dropped in throughout this rolling narrative are twenty detailed essays in which Trudeau contemplates his characters, including portraits of core characters such as Duke and Honey, Zonker, Joanie, and Rev. Sloan, as well as more recent additions, such as Zipper, Alex, and Toggle. Trudeau also includes an annotated diagram that maps the mind-boggling matrix of character relationships.  
     
    This second volume of the four-volume e-book edition of 40 covers the years 1980 to 1989 for the celebrated cartoon strip.
