"The beauty of sky, music, and the belief in 'extraordinary things' triumph in this whimsical and magical tale" (Publishers Weekly) about a girl in search of her past who discovers a secret rooftop world in Paris. Everyone thinks that Sophie is an orphan. True, there were no other recorded female survivors from the shipwreck that left baby Sophie floating in the English Channel in a cello case, but Sophie remembers seeing her mother wave for help. Her guardian tells her it is almost impossible that her mother is still alive--but "almost impossible" means "still possible." And you should never ignore a possible. So when the Welfare Agency writes to her guardian, threatening to send Sophie to an orphanage, they takes matters into their own hands and flee to Paris to look for Sophie's mother, starting with the only clue they have--the address of the cello maker. Evading the French authorities, she meets Matteo and his network of rooftoppers--urc...

"ES GIBT ZEITEN IN DER GESCHICHTE DER MENSCHHEIT, IN DENEN OPTIMISMUS EINFACH NUR FEIGHEIT UND UNVERANTWORTLICHE VERBLENDUNG BEDEUTET." DAVID ENGELS Steht die Europäische Union vor einem ähnlich spektakulären Systemwechsel wie einst die späte Römische Republik? Ja, sagt der deutsch-belgische Historiker David Engels in seinem in Frankreich viel diskutierten Bestseller: Anhand von zwölf Indikatoren vergleicht er verschiedene Aspekte der Identitätskonstruktion der EU mit Krisensymptomen der ausgehenden Römischen Republik - und zieht dabei beunruhigende Parallelen: Der Wandel von einer von Werteverlust, Dauerkrise, Reformstau und politischem Immobilismus gekennzeichneten Republik zu einem autoritären und konservativen Imperium zeichnet sich heute auch in der EU ab. Quo vadis, Europa? Für den Historiker David Engels steht fest: Die europäische Demokratie steht unwiderruflich am Abgrund. Der Professor für römische Geschichte vergleicht die Lage der Europäischen Union mit der Situat...

Settlers is a uniquely important book in the canon of the North American revolutionary left and anticolonial movements. First published in the 1980s by activists with decades of experience organizing in grassroots anticapitalist struggles against white supremacy, the book soon established itself as an essential reference point for revolutionary nationalists and dissident currents within the predominantly colonialist Marxist-Leninist and anarchist movements at that time. Always controversial within the establishment Left Settlers uncovers centuries of collaboration between capitalism and white workers and their organizations, as well as their neocolonial allies, showing how the United States was designed from the ground up as a parasitic and genocidal entity. Settlers exposes the fact that America's white citizenry have never supported themselves but have always resorted to exploitation and theft, culminating in acts of genocide to maintain their culture and way of life.

Here is the fascinating and equally unforgettable sequel to Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi's memoir-in-comic strips of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Persepolis ended on a cliffhanger in 1984, just as fourteen-year-old Marjane was leaving behind her home in Tehran, escaping fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in the West. Here we follow our young, intrepid heroine through the next eight years of her life: an eye-opening and sometimes lonely four years of high school in Vienna, followed by a supremely educational and heartwrenching four years back home in Iran. Just as funny and heartbreaking as its predecessor - with perhaps an even greater sense of the ridiculous inspired by life in a fundamentalist state - Persepolis 2 is also as clear-eyed and searing in its condemnation of fundamentalism and its cost to the human spirit. In its depiction of the universal trials of adolescent life and growing into adulthood - here compounded by being an outsi...
