    2006 mit dem LiBeraturpreis für Autorinnen aus Afrika, Asien und Lateinamerika ausgezeichnet.Die 37-jährige Ich-Erzählerin, Lehrerin und alleinerziehende Mutter zweier Kinder, führt ein ausgefülltes Leben ohne große Ereignisse - scheinbar. Doch die Erlebnisse, die sie täglich in ihrem Notizbuch notiert, entwickeln eine immer größere Dramatik. Die Bekanntschaft mit einem Mann, in dem die "Passantin" ihren Seelenverwandten entdeckt, stellt sie vor Fragen, die ihren bisherigen Lebensentwurf ins Wanken bringen. Dazu kommt die Tochter Clara langsam in die Pubertät und der Sohn Ariel interessiert sich immer mehr für seinen Vater in Tel Aviv.Der Roman spielt in der Hauptstadt von Uruguay, im Montevideo von heute mit seinen alten herrschaftlichen Häusern und der Promenade am Hafen. Rückblenden führen in die Zeit, als die Protagonistin als 20-Jährige unabhängig und allein Europa und Israel bereiste. Diese Weltreise war eine Schlüsselerfahrung; das Unterwegssein, das flüchtige Abenteuer, das Vorübergehen haben die junge Frau geprägt.Andrea Blanqué wurde 1959 in Montevideo geboren und studierte in Uruguay und Spanien Philologie und Literatur. Sie schreibt regelmäßig für El País Cultural (Spanien), wo sie vor allem durch ihre Portraits von schreibenden Frauen bekannt geworden ist. Sie hat zahlreiche Gedichte und Erzählungen veröffentlicht; für ihren zweiten Roman "Die Passantin" (2003) erhielt sie in Uruguay und Argentinien mehrere Literaturpreise. deutsch.

    INCLUDES THE FIRST CHAPTER FROM VINCE FLYNN AND KYLE MILLS’ LATEST THRILLER, ENEMY OF THE STATE! Before he was considered a CIA superagent, before he was thought of as a terrorist's worst nightmare, and before he was both loathed and admired by the politicians on Capitol Hill, Mitch Rapp was a gifted college athlete without a care in the world...and then tragedy struck. Two decades of cutthroat, partisan politics has left the CIA and the country in an increasingly vulnerable position. Cold War veteran and CIA Operations Director Thomas Stansfield knows he must prepare his people for the next war. The rise of Islamic terrorism is coming, and it needs to be met abroad before it reaches America's shores. Stansfield directs his protégé, Irene Kennedy, and his old Cold War colleague, Stan Hurley, to form a new group of clandestine operatives who will work outside the normal chain of command men who do not exist. What type of man is willing to kill for his country without putting on a uniform? Kennedy finds him in the wake of the Pan Am Lockerbie terrorist attack. Two-hundred and seventy souls perished that cold December night, and thousands of family and friends were left searching for comfort. Mitch Rapp was one of them, but he was not interested in comfort. He wanted retribution. Six months of intense training has prepared him to bring the war to the enemy's doorstep, and he does so with brutal efficiency. Rapp starts in Istanbul, where he assassinates the Turkish arms dealer who sold the explosives used in the Pan Am attack. Rapp then moves onto Hamburg with his team and across Europe, leaving a trail of bodies. All roads lead to Beirut, though, and what Rapp doesn't know is that the enemy is aware of his existence and has prepared a trap. The hunter is about to become the hunted, and Rapp will need every ounce of skill and cunning if he is to survive the war-ravaged city and its various terrorist factions. Language: English.

    This riveting true story of courage, strength, and football at the height of racial tension in Birmingham, Alabama, inspired the motion picture Woodlawn and tells the story of Coach Tandy Gerelds; his running back, Tony Nathan; and a high school football game that healed a city. Woodlawn is soon to be a major motion picture starring Jon Voight, Nic Bishop, and C. Thomas Howell. In the midst of violent, impassioned racial tensions in Birmingham, Alabama, new football coach Tandy Gerelds was struggling to create a winning football team at Woodlawn High School - one of the last schools in Birmingham to integrate. The team he was handed did not have the caliber of players he needed to win - until he saw Tony Nathan run. But Tony was African American, and Coach Gerelds knew that putting him in as running back would be like drawing a target on his own back and the back of his soon-to-be star player. But Coach Gerelds saw something in Tony, and he knew that his decision to let him play was about more than football. It was about doing what was right for the school...and the city. Coach Gerelds' football field became the only place in Birmingham where racial tensions melted away, but Tony was still plagued by chaos and violence in school. With the help of a new school chaplain, Tony learned to look beyond himself and realized that there was more at stake than winning a game. In 1974 Coach Gerelds' interracial team made Alabama history, drawing 42,000 fans into the stadium to watch them play. It was this game that triggered the unity and support of the Woodlawn High School Colonels and that finally allowed a city to heal and taught its citizens how to love. ungekürzt. Language: English.
