    Das Weiße Haus des Exils
    Pacific Palisades: Thomas Manns Leben im Exil1942 bezog Thomas Mann sein neues Haus in Pacific Palisades. Es ist ein Refugium für den Schriftsteller gewesen, ein Treffpunkt des Exils und ein Ort der Geborgenheit für den Enkel. Im März 2018 kehrt Frido Mann auf den Spuren seiner Erinnerung zurück, kurz bevor das Haus von der Bundesregierung als Zentrum des transatlantischen Dialogs eröffnet werden soll. Frido Mann erinnert an das politische Engagement der Manns im Exil und sieht sich mit der Frage konfrontiert, welche Wirkung der offene Dialog heute - in Trumps Amerika - noch entfalten kann. Sein Essay ist ein radikales Plädoyer für Verantwortung und Verständigung in einer Zeit der globalen Krise.

    When the Bough Breaks: An Alex Delaware Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 767min

It's psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware's job to try to unlock the terrible secret buried in Melody's memory. But as the sinister shadows in the girl's mind begin to take shape, Alex discovers that the mystery touches a shocking incident in his own past.

    Beautiful Wounds: A Search for Solace and Light in Washington's Channeled Scablands
    Carved and scoured by catastrophic floods at the end of the most recent ice age, the Channeled Scablands of eastern Washington State dazzle with their harsh beauty and the diversity of their natural features, including great waterfalls, sprawling canyons, and cinematic palisades. In this pictorial love letter to the region, writer and photographer Timothy Connor expertly combines stunning images, engaging field notes, historical narrative, and a touching personal sojourn. His photography captures the sweeping horizons, braided wetlands, and vibrant wildlife, while his words examine the once-mystifying landmarks of the area through the story of J Harlen Bretz, the geologist who, in the 1920s, first suggested that massive floods formed the Scablands' epic cataracts and inexplicably deep lakes. Incorporating the poignant story of Connor's own journey of grief, Beautiful Wounds offers a moving, visual tribute to the enduring power of nature and the healing power of time.

    Die häßliche Herzogin Margarete Maultasch, Hörbuch, Digital, 495min
    Margarete ist zwölf Jahre alt, als sie Hochzeit feiert mit dem zwei Jahre jüngeren Prinzen Johann von Böhmen, einem Sohn des König Johanns von Luxemburg. Sie ist klug, beobachtet scharf und weiß ihren Verstand zu gebrauchen. Doch all ihr Bemühen ist vergeblich: Was man dem Kind noch mitleidig nachsieht, der erwachsen Frau verzeiht man ihre Hässlichkeit nicht. Ihr "Konkurrentin" die schöne Agnes von Flavonen nimmt ihr die Männer und schließlich auch Ihren Sohn und ihr Volk. Resigniert und vereinsamt, ist ihr am auch das Schicksal Tirols gleichgültig. Lion Feuchtwanger, 1884-1958, war Romancier und Weltbürger. Seine Romane erreichten Millionenauflagen und sind in über 20 Sprachen erschienen. Als Lion Feuchtwanger mit 74 Jahren starb, galt er als einer der bedeutendsten Schriftsteller deutscher Sprache. Die Lebensstationen von München über Berlin, seine ausgedehnten Reisen bis nach Afrika, das Exil im französischen Sanary-sur Mer und im kalifornischen Pacific Palisades haben den Schriftsteller, dessen unermüdliche Schaffenskraft selbst von seinem Nachbarn in Kalifornien, Thomas Mann, bestaunt wurde, zu einem ungewöhnlich breiten Wissen und kulturhistorischen Verständnis geführt. 15 Romane sowie Theaterstücke, Kurzgeschichten, Berichte, Skizzen, Kritiken und Rezensionen hatten den Freund und Mitarbeiter Bertold Brechts zum "Meister des historischen und des Zeitromans" (Wilhelm von Sternburg) reifen lassen. Mit seiner "Wartesaal-Trilogie" erwies sich der aufklärerische Humanist als hellsichtiger Chronist Nazi-Deutschlands. deutsch.
