Maud Gonne

Sie war der Paradiesvogel des irischen Freiheitskampfs: Maud Gonne, sehr groß, sehr glamourös und sehr eigensinnig. Sie wurde 1866 als Tochter eines englischen Offiziers geboren - und so wie sie Irland liebte, so hasste sie das britische Empire. Für die Rechtlosen war sie die »Frau von den Feen«, die Wunder bewirkte, für ihre Feinde eine »unkontrollierbare Revolutionärin«. Sie kämpfte auf Seiten der Pachtbauern gegen die Truppen der Landlords, stritt für republikanische Häftlinge, saß selbst im Gefängnis und gründete die erste politische Frauenorganisation Irlands. Unübersehbar und unüberhörbar forderte sie die Kolonialmacht heraus und riskierte jederzeit eine Kugel oder einen Schlag mit dem Gewehrkolben. Sie war die große Liebe des Dichters und Nobelpreisträgers W. B. Yeats - und sie führte ein geheimes Doppelleben in Paris als Geliebte eines rechten Politikers und Mutter einer kapriziösen Tochter. Ihre spätere Ehe mit einem irischen Helden wurde zum Fiasko, aber ihrKampfgeist blieb ungebrochen. 100 Jahre nach dem Oster-Aufstand, dem Fanal der irischen Unabhängigkeit, ist Maud Gonne noch immer eine Ikone des geistigen und militanten Widerstands. Elsemarie Maletzke erzählt anschaulich und unterhaltsam, wie aus der schönen Offizierstochter eine Revolutionärin und Irlands »heilige Johanna« wurde.

Tenants (eBook, ePUB)

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2022, METRO, EVENING STANDARD, REFINERY29, COSMOPOLITAN'A must-read' Cosmopolitan 'A major new book on the history and politics of renting' Evening Standard 'There is nobody better placed to write a book that tells the stories of "Britain's housing shame"' MetroTony is facing eviction instead of enjoying retirement; Limarra isn't 'homeless enough' to get help from the council; and for Kelly and her asthmatic son Morgan, another new rented house is a matter of life and death. This is twenty-first century Britain, where millions are forced into the private rental sector - a sector that creates profit for landlords, not safe and stable homes for tenants.In this fierce and moving account, journalist Vicky Spratt traces decades of bad policy decisions to show how and why the British dream of homeownership has withered and the safety net of social housing has broken. Through the lives of those in the renting trap, she illuminates the ways this crisis is devastating our health, communities and political landscape. But, as the Covid epidemic showed, there are also real, radical steps we can take to give everyone the chance of a good home.

Vita Brevis: A Crime Novel of the Roman Empire: Medicus, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 560min

Ruso and Tilla's excitement at arriving in Rome with their new baby daughter is soon dulled by their discovery that the grand facades of polished marble mask an underworld of corrupt landlords and vermin-infested tenements. There are also far too many doctors - some skilled - but others positively dangerous. Ruso thinks that he has been offered a reputable medical practice only to find that his predecessor, Doctor Kleitos, has fled, leaving a dead man in a barrel on the doorstep and the warning "be careful who you trust." Distracted by the body and his efforts to help a friend win the hand of a rich young heiress, Ruso makes a grave mistake, causing him to question both his competence and his integrity. With Ruso's reputation under threat, he and Tilla must protect their small family from Doctor Kleitos' debt collectors and find allies in their new home while they track down the vanished doctor and find out the truth about the heiress' dead father - Ruso's patient - and the unfortunate man in the barrel. ungekürzt.

A People's History of the Russian Revolution: Left Book Club , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 396min

The Russian Revolution may be the most misunderstood and misrepresented event in modern history, its history told in a mix of legends and anecdotes. In A People's History of the Russian Revolution, Neil Faulkner sets out to debunk the myths and pry fact from fiction, putting at the heart of the story the Russian people who are the true heroes of this tumultuous tale. In this fast-paced introduction, Faulkner tells the powerful narrative of how millions of people came together in a mass movement, organized democratic assemblies, mobilized for militant action, and overturned a vast regime of landlords, profiteers, and warmongers. Faulkner rejects caricatures of Lenin and the Bolsheviks as authoritarian conspirators or the progenitors of Stalinist dictatorship and forcefully argues that the Russian Revolution was an explosion of democracy and creativity - and that it was crushed by bloody counterrevolution and replaced with a form of bureaucratic state-capitalism. Grounded by powerful firsthand testimony, this history marks the centenary of the revolution by restoring the democratic essence of the revolution, offering a perfect primer for the modern listener. ungekürzt.

Black Potatoes: The Story of the Great Irish Famine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 213min

In 1845, a disaster struck Ireland. Overnight, a mysterious blight attacked the potato crops, turning the potatoes black and destroying the only real food of nearly six million people. Over the next five years, the blight attacked again and again. These years are known today as the Great Irish Famine, a time when one million people died from starvation and disease, and two million more fled their homeland.Black Potatoes is the compelling story of men, women, and children who defied landlords and searched empty fields for scraps of harvested vegetables and edible weeds to eat, who walked several miles each day to hard-labor jobs for meager wages and to reach soup kitchens, and who committed crimes just to be sent to jail, where they were assured of a meal. It's the story of children and adults who suffered from starvation, disease, and the loss of family and friends, as well as those who died. It's also the story of the heroes among the Irish people and how they held on to hope. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Graeme Malcolm.

The Fran Lebowitz Reader

Acerbic, wisecracking and hilarious, this is the definitive essay collection from New York legend and satirist, Fran Lebowitz, star of Martin Scorsese's hit Netflix series, Pretend It's a City. 'The gold standard for intelligence, efficiency and humour. Now and forever' DAVID SEDARIS 'She's inexhaustible - her personality, her knowledge, her brilliance, most of all her humour' MARTIN SCORSESE 'The rare example of a legend living up to her own mythology. She really is THAT funny' HADLEY FREEMAN Lebowitz turns her trademark caustic wit to the vicissitudes of life - from children ('rarely in the position to lend one a truly interesting sum of money') to landlords ('it is the solemn duty of every landlord to maintain an adequate supply of roaches'). And her attitude to work is the perfect antidote to our exhausting culture of self-betterment ('3.40pm. I consider getting out of bed. I reject the notion as being unduly vigorous. I read and smoke a bit more'). 'Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things and small people talk about wine' 'Think before you speak. Read before you think' 'All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable' 'There is no such thing as inner peace. There is only nervousness and death' 'The opposite of talking isn't listening. The opposite of talking is waiting'
