What would happen if you sat down to dinner with the likes of Alicia Keyes, Jonathan Safran Foer, Drew Barrymore, David Lynch, Morgan Freeman, Sir Ben Kingsley, Alton Brown, Neil Gaiman, Deepak Chopra and David Foster Wallace? Fascinating conversation, without doubt. And one of the things all these folks have in common is that they practice gratitude and have a lot to say about it. All these thinkers and luminaries are in The Grateful Table making this a thoroughly modern book of blessings, both heartfelt and deeply profound. Saying grace is one of our loveliest traditions and one that has stood the test of time for a good reason - it simply feels wonderful. Whether you hold hands and pray to the heavens above or wax poetic about the bounty of food, these blessings turn any group of people into a family, connected by the power of gratitude. Compiled by the editor of and collaborator on the runaway best seller Attitudes of Gratitude, Brenda Knight has employed the practice of gratitude for years. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Sunlit Night , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
From an exhilarating new voice, a stunning debut novel - which Jonathan Safran Foer calls as "lyrical as a poem, psychologically rich as a thriller". In the beautiful, barren landscape of the Far North, under the ever-present midnight sun, Frances and Yasha are surprised to find refuge in each other. Their lives have been upended - Frances has fled heartbreak and claustrophobic Manhattan for an isolated artist colony; Yasha arrives from Brooklyn to fulfill his beloved father's last wish: to be buried "at the top of the world. They have come to learn how to be alone. But in Lofoten, an archipelago of six tiny islands in the Norwegian Sea, 95 miles north of the Arctic Circle, they form a bond that fortifies them against the turmoil of their distant homes, offering solace amidst great uncertainty. With nimble and sure-footed prose, Dinerstein reveals that no matter how far we travel to claim our own territory, it is ultimately love that gives us our place in the world. ungekürzt.

Extrem laut und unglaublich nah
»Jonathan Safran Foers zweiter Roman erfüllt alle unsere Erwartungen. Er ist ehrgeizig, brillant, geheimnisvoll und vor allem in der Schilderung des verwaisten Oskar zutiefst bewegend.«Salman RushdieOskar Schell ist altklug und naseweis, hochbegabt und phantasievoll. Eine kleine Nervensäge, die schon mit neun Jahren eine Visitenkarte vorweist, auf der sie sich als Erfinder, Schmuckdesigner und Tamburinspieler ausweist. Vor allem aber ist Oskar todtraurig und tief verstört. Auch noch zwei Jahre nachdem sein Vater beim Angriff auf das World Trade Center ums Leben kam. Nun will er herausfinden, warum Thomas Schell, der ein Juweliergeschäft hatte, sich ausgerechnet an diesem Tag dort aufhielt. Mit seinem Tamburin zieht Oskar durch New York und gerät in aberwitzige Abenteuer.»Ein spektakuläres, sprachmächtiges Buch. Foer ist ein literarisches Wunderkind, ein großartiger, plastischer, sinnlicher Geschichtenerzähler.« Der Tagesspiegel»Ein ... herzzerreißender und ernsthaft spannender Roman.«Rolling StoneSpiegel-Bestseller- Shop: buecher

Typologizing the Dream. Le rêve du point de vue typologique
There is nothing like a firmly established typology of dreams - simply because the taxonomies on which existing typologies are based vary widely: They can be oneirocritical, thematic, or based on dreaming characters or their responses, on narratological functions, etc. The essays in this volume will discuss a broad range of dream types, with a special focus on nightmares and erotic, funny, indigenous and children's dreams. Examples are taken from a great variety of cultures and historical periods. Their authors and artists include: Akinari, Barrie, Baudelaire, Benjamin, Black Elk, Buñuel, Burroughs, W. Busch, Calvino, Cantilo, Cao Xueqin, Cardano, Carroll, Coogler, Corkran, Cortázar, Crébillon fils, Dalí, Eco, Ende, Foer, Fuseli, Garnier, Gatore, Grévin, Grünbein, Guo Moruo, Hauptmann, Hawthorne, Hebbel, Heine, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Huysmans, Ilboudo, Ilibagiza, Kafka, F. Lang, Leiris, Li Yu, Malerba, Mizoguchi, Morgenstern, Mussorgsky, Nodier, Nolan, Okopenko, Pushkin, Radcliffe, Rimbaud, Robison, Schafer, Schiller, Schnitzler, Schwarz-Bart, P.B. Shelley, Soqluman, Storm, Szittya, Tamapima, Tchaikovsky, D.M. Thomas, Tristan L'Hermite, Valenzuela, Vava, Yourcenar, Yu Dafu, and many others.- Shop: buecher

My Little Bit of Country , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 14min
My Little Bit of Country is a short story from the collection Central Park.Central Park is perhaps the most well-trod and familiar green space in the country. It is both a refuge from the city and Manhattan's very heart; a respite from the urban grind and a hive of activity all its own. Eight hundred forty-three carefully planned acres allow some 37 million visitors each year to come and get lost in a sense of nature. Unsurprisingly, the park also inspires a wealth of great writing, and here Andrew Blauner collects some of the finest fiction and nonfiction - 20 pieces in all, with classics sprinkled among 13 new ones commissioned from great New York writers.Bill Buford spends a wild night in the park; Jonathan Safran Foer envisions it as a tiny, transplanted piece of a mythical Sixth Borough; and Marie Winn answers definitively Holden Caulfield's question of where the ducks go when the park's ponds freeze over. There are bird sightings and fish sightings; Jackie Kennedy and James Brown sightings; and pieces by Colson Whitehead, Paul Auster, and Francine Prose. This vibrant collection presents Central Park in all its many-faceted glory, a 51-block swath of special magic. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Van Dyck.
