schnucklige Krimi-Lesung in Alfter

09/28/2010
Crime reading at the public library in St. Matthew Alfter, Start 20.00 clock
Herter Platz 14, 53347 Alfter

Well, it began so between 19.30 und 20.00 clock, the start time had been communicated differently. It made our spirits but not detract from it. It was a very pleasant evening in the library, a small audience of about twenty or thirty good-humored audience, mostly in the age when one sees Grandpa Bertolds problems so slowly at first hand ;-)
They sat close together, cozy and did not need a micro- ...
I read from "old iron" and as a reference to a contrast to the rather to provide loose light "Cosy" thriller, a rather nasty short story by horror factor. Crime must stop his dark times. But even then there was the morbid Ckarakter the Alfter: even in the psychological thriller they still find places where you can laugh. Crime-class audience!

How To Get Smooth Clear Legs

Review: Jessica, 30 (Hardcover )

The protagonist of this novel is the thirty-year, doctorate humanist Jessica summer. The reader learns the young woman in the first section of the book to know you better. There, namely it leads, during which time she jogs, an inner monologue. We learn that Jessica has no steady job, and occasionally as a contributor to a women's magazine work and dissatisfied with their lives. As is clear from the context further, it appears to be a deeply insecure man, whose thoughts unenwegt to your body and circle the right outfit.

Jessica's affair with a machtorientierten Staatssekretär endet nach einem gemeinsam verbrachten Abend in ihrer Wohnung. Aufgrund bestimmter sexueller Vorkommnisse fühlt Jessica sich gedemütigt und sinnt auf Rache. Sie weiß um die Beziehungen, die ihr ehemaliger Lover und andere Politiker auf Staatskosten zu osteuropäischen Prostiuierten pflegen und möchte diese skandalträchtige Angelegenheit der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich machen. Dabei soll ihr ein Mitarbeiter eines bekannten politischen Nachrichtenmagazins helfen.....


Die Autorin zeichnet das Bild einer wenig in sich ruhenden jungen Frau, die sowohl ihren geistigen Fähigkeiten, als auch ihrer körperlichen Attraktivität mißtraut. Indem Jessica versucht es allen recht zu machen, wird es für sie schwer, ihre eigene Mitte auszuloten. Streeruwitz gräbt nach, um zu erfahren, weshalb ihre Protagonistin ein so geringes Selbstwertgefühl hat und hält in der Folge mit harscher Gesellschaftskritik nicht hinter dem Berg....!

Upper L Quadrant Pain

Review: Schiller for Pleasure (Paperback)

Ein sehr schönes Lesebuch mit nachdenklichen Texten des Marbacher Genies zum Schillerjahr. Die Texte sind untergliedert in okkulte Schriften, Schriften zur Kriminalistik, historiographische Schriften sowie Schriften zur Nautik, dramaturgische Schriften, poetologische Writings, writings on religion and smaller fonts for my wife, to education and medicine.

At the beginning of Schiller's work was the desire for freedom against the authoritarian order and patriarchal power, his sincere feeling against manipulation and rational calculation of the political. Key to the poet was addressing Kant's philosophy, which he himself constantly evolving.

For Schiller perfect morality, dignity, but the reconciliation of duty and inclination is possible, while Kant stresses the primacy of duty. In the gracefulness appear intellectual and physical beauty as an aesthetic harmony together.
Schiller turns out to be disillusioned Psychologist, as his occult writings and the writings make clear to criminology.

are very worth reading his reflections on the way, Wieland, Herder and Goethe. On Goethe, he also writes, "He is of medium size, with stiff and does so, his face is closed, but his eyes are very expressive, lively and it is with pleasure in his eyes. For many serious his face have a great . Benevolent and good He is dark, and seemed older than he should look after my calculation can be really, his voice is very pleasant, his narrative flowing, spirited and lively and he listened with very great pleasure.; and if he is in good humor, which this time it was pretty much the case, say it willingly and with interest ... "
I quote this characterization, because it says a lot about the personality of Schiller's because of his fair look towards another great poet of his time. This reflects the size.

With all due respect to Schiller, Goethe is not critical, because he continues "... I believe, in fact, he is an egoist in uncommon ways, he has the talent to captivate the people and undergo little as one big attentions to be authentic, but to always keep themselves free ....", and self-reflective he writes "A mixture of hate and love is that he has awakened in me a feeling that those are not very dissimilar to that Brutus and Cassius must have had against Caesar;. I could kill his spirit and love him from the heart "

impresses me his observations in terms of morality, something covered his poem "dignity of women" but really succeeded his dramatic writings.

A recommended book that brings the reader Friedrich Schiller closer and curious makes to other texts that spirit people.

How Many Calories Are In Beans And Ham?

review: Queen Louise's letters

This book contains a selection The letters, which wrote the Prussian Queen Luise (1776-1810). The letters are preceded by a preface that outlines a few pages to her life. I will spare myself the small text at this point reduced play, but refer to my review on the book Queen Louise of Prussia. A star in storm clouds, which deals very well with the life of the Prussian.

Louise had learned as a child of the French language and letter-writing as the Princess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Dr. Sabine Anders, the editor of the letters, says in her foreword not without reason that the list of persons appointed by Luise your letter recipients regularly and greet, which directs itself, sometimes give the impression as if letters at that time had a similar role and a similar function as the social networking with the collection of "friends" today. (See: p.10)


We learn in the preface that in those days people of Louise's daily can often spent several hours writing letters to impress the recipients or to pay respect to them.


The editor is able to provide a very interesting picture of Louise, as her letters to her fiancé and future husband, to her father, her brother George, but also letters to the Empress of Austria, to Emperor Alexander I., to Baron von Stein, to Baron von Hardenberg, and even to Napoleon and other personalities more presents. These letters are consistent with the picture, however, that in "Queen Louise of Prussia. A star in weather clouds" from the charming Prussian is drawn.


All these letters give the impression that Louise was a remarkable, very thoughtful woman who had many interesting facets of character that made her a really lovable person, regardless of all that she was the gracious Queen of Prussia. Louise was a fabulous man of great nobility of soul. Definitely.

Who Makes Airstream Trailers

Review: The days with Jantien-Max Kruse

Der renommierte Schriftsteller Max Kruse erzählt eine feinsinnige Liebesgeschichte, die am 28.August 1947 ihren Anfang nimmt. Der Protagonist Florian ist ein junger, musisch begabter Mann, der u.a. Gedichte schreibt, aber aus Vernunftsgründen seinen Neigungen nicht beruflich nachgeht, sondern stattdessen die Tuchfabrik seiner Eltern wieder aufbaut.

Verheiratet ist er mit der hübschen, lebenstüchtigen Anne, die ihm beim Aufbau der Firma tatkräftig zur Seite steht. Anlässlich Goethes Geburtstag sind die beiden bei einem Grafen, dem sie geschäftlich viel zu verdanken haben, eingeladen. Der Graf verehrt Goethe und trägt ihm zum Gedenken einige seiner Gedichte vor. Da in der romantisch verschlafenen Stadt Torbruggen kulturelle Veranstaltungen selten stattfinden, sind die Gelegenheiten gering, mit Menschen zusammenzukommen, die etwas anderes denken und von etwas anderem sprechen als von ihren Geschäften, den Affären der Nachbarn und den eigenen Unpässlichkeiten, (vgl.: S.10). Trifft man auf einen Gleichgesinnten anderen Geschlechts ist die Gefahr natürlich groß, dass es funkt, nicht nur im einstmals verschlafenen Torbruggen.

Auf dieser Goethe-Gedenkveranstaltung, die Florian und Anna zunächst mit gemischten Gefühlen aufsuchen, ist auch die schöne Jantien zu Gast. Florian kennt die Kindheitsfreundin seiner Ehefrau bislang noch nicht und verliebt immediately into it, because he feels that it is congenial to him. This impression is reinforced, the longer they communicate with each other on the evening of thought and carried away from each other in the eye.
weave to
From then on, in the next few days most subtle psychological twists the sounds of Chopin and verses by Rilke. Anne observes what happens to her husband and her childhood friend. Anne is very liberal and very down to earth, think of the business and does so only when she noticed a that Florian is carried away by his emotions.

reason will prevail over the infatuation?

Max Kruse has written a text that an almost lyrische Sprachmelodie enthält. Er skizziert das kleinstädtische Bildungsbürgertum der Nachkriegszeit sehr kritisch und verdeutlicht, dass in der Welt des Aufbaus nach dem Kriege eine gelebte Liebe zwischen zwei Bohemiens ein Wagnis war, das einzugehen sehr viel Mut bedurfte. .....

Empfehlenswert.

Can Taking Plan B Too Much

Review: Anatolin: Novel (Hardcover)

Der Autor Hans-Ulrich Treichels befasst sich in seinem neuesten biographischen Roman abermals mit seiner Kindheit und der Vergangenheit seiner Eltern, wie auch seiner Entwicklung als Schriftsteller. Indem der Westfale östlicher Herkunft das frühe Gestern gedanklich abzuwehren sucht, kann er sich davon nicht lösen. So wird es auf Thus, a permanent subject. "Because nothing brings me as close to the body as that which I seek to fend off an ongoing basis" (p.85), the narrator himself is well aware.
Why exactly this defense asks the reader and is curious about the answer Treichel holds.
Although I thought at first reading - Boy, but now is enough. The substance can be drawn sucks, I realized after a few pages that the concern of this writer tolerate a fourth book. Regardless of Treichel's fans who appreciate him for stylistic reasons, not without reason, should the clientele that feels drawn to the subject, but not be very large. Sorry.

The narrator is the pain of a childhood in the fifties, which was for many boys to be no picnic, for the most part painted black, brown despot fathers. The father of the narrator chastises his children are afraid of his rudeness. In this economy childhood is the top priority and as a result, the eager help of parents in the store. They have lost possessions in the East and transfer the fears - can not exist - to their children. Sales decline in the sales of the father can pay for the narrator immediately start panicking. As a child of displaced persons is the narrator in Westphalia accepted only conditionally. This was normal at that time turned out to be not a disadvantage for the children of so-called refugees because they are generally intellectually more developed than the children of the rooted, so my observation.

still haunted by words such as "load balancing" by the head of the narrator, because they were once performed by the parents constantly in his mouth. That too was normal, because people from the East felt financially disadvantaged. Well, that he calls this normality, so at least they are not forgotten. Optically read to fix the last war to the amputated arm of his father. was

Kriegversehrte it in those Many days. They left an impression in children in general, the Treichel, unfortunately, too little has described. Thinking about it, researching it is certainly very productive.
The parents sent the child appears to be no historical family facts is silent, for any reason whatsoever, from. Where did his grandparents? Why did he not? What about the previous generations? For years he has pushed away those questions. He suffers from biographical emptying, as he stated.

collected, the past of his parents, the narrator one today. It is not about to seek the so-called "old country" of his ancestors or his, during the expulsion lost, older brother to see again. Thus, for not cope with his past problems. That is why it is necessary for him to take up the pen again. The question that arises is: Does it make sense in a globalized world research to almost feverish for old rootedness? It seems to me the narrator is looking for something else than it claims to seek.

I'm curious to Treichel's fourth novel on the subject. He will not let the reader safely in the dark. Stylistically, this book also
is again superb.

Sensor Light Does Not Turn Off

Review: Storm Surge (Hardcover)

Margriet de Moor told in this exciting novel written the vitae of two closely related sisters, both of whose life due to a devastating natural disaster suddenly takes a dramatic turn. In winter 1953 is one of the two women - Lidy - together with around 2,000 other people on the coast of Holland died. There is raging at the time an all-ending storm burst. Due to adverse meteorological conditions, as well as over-age-dyke construction of the polder is flooded Zealand. Now overtaken the quaking sea, back to what the people there had wrung painfully over many generations of the North Sea.

No stone will remain unturned. Everything is broken. People and animals die. Schließlich zerbröselt das Land aufgrund der herein brechenden Wassermassen. De Moor erzählt einfühlsam von den letzten Stunden Lidys und der Personen mit denen sie zufällig diese Zeit teilt. Die Autorin zeigt die Angstfreiheit dieser Menschen und deren Bereitschaft miteinander die sich pausenlos neu stellenden komplexen Probleme anzupacken. Auf diese Weise füllt sie den Begriff "Schicksalsgemeinschaft" beeindruckend mit Inhalt.

Eigentlich hätte Armanda anstelle ihrer Schwester Opfer der Ereignisse werden müssen, denn Lidy entschließt sich spontan zum Geburtstagsfest des Patenkindes ihrer Schwester nach Schouwen- Duiveland zu reisen, damit diese stattdessen zu einer Fete nach Amsterdam gehen kann. Als Folge der Events changed the life planning of student Armanda completely. She marries the man of her deceased sister and draws on her daughter. Although Armanda by Sjoerd gets two children of her own, her daughter, her sister is always the next. Nadja is always their real child. Armanda feels that it lives basically Lidys life and personality to exist in 1953, has ceased. It is depressing. The marriage to Sjoerd breaks because of her sister's spirit remains ever present.

Armanda is secondary to the unfortunate victims of the storm surge, because she believes the right to determine their own existence to have forfeited after her sister were unfairly As has been torn out of life. Armanda can not stop himself responsible for the death of her sister to feel, perhaps because they believe ultimately more self-determination as to any sort of foreign disposition. This is Armandas tragedy! A thought-provoking, good story!

Can I Take Coversil And Eat Grapefruit

Der Fall Sarrazin




addition to the very vigorous debate about the form and content of Thilo Sarrazin's socio-political statements in his book interests me as a writer and especially from the aspect of free speech: Is it true Sarrazin to fire him from his job and expelled from his party? If a man gagged, the calls just to inconvenient facts way?

one immediately start: No one forbids Mr. Sarrazin his remarks. The book is not burned. I may buy it and read it and say, the man writes nonsense or finally speaks to the truth. All this is possible. The speech is not threatened. The man can fill ten books with his ideas. No one will stop him.

has, however, to say the right of each community that a particular person who expresses a definite opinion, does not fit into this community. This may be the SPD or Sarrazin skat. And I think (note, now is content) that Mr. Sarrazin a nationalism the day before yesterday in the head and this has promoted pseudoscientific. He's afraid of a "Durchrassung" (which could express his comrade Edmund Stoiber impunity years ago), he wants integration through adaptation. That German immigrants built anywhere in the German culture abroad fortresses interests him and neither do we consider whether the nationalistic concept of the people may not have actually been used. He asks not, as far as I can see that. Nationalism is its premise. And he expressed his fear that German society is more stupid by Muslim immigrants and our grandchildren are all governed by the muezzin and headscarves, is a so-educated people rather embarrassing. But he may say something like that. Fortunately, not all consequences.

Nobody forces me as a "real Germans" (and I am, because I only have one son, high school and university degree, I can write and count and very good German doll) to integrate myself. I have the birth right belonged to the German people and must prove it not by myself adjusting my neighbors. The Muslim immigrants are dangerous for Sarrazin, because it occurs in hordes that tolerate the small German people not because he is genetically less intelligent, dramatically propagates and because of its religious and cultural background Intolerance and isolation tendency.

apology, with the man I want to create anything! This must also say Mr. Gabriel Merkel, even if they do it perhaps more of populism. But Mr. Sarrazin show the boundaries, is an act of moderation. Well, it would be natural to refute him objectively. Point by point. The trouble I'm not here. But that will do them.

Just a quote from Sarrazin's introduction, which illustrates what I mean by yesterday's nationalism.

"The birth rate in Germany fell more than 1.3 million per year in the first half of the sixties
to 650,000 in the year 2009 the so on - And why should anything change in this trend, which lasts for over four decades - then, after three generations, so in 90 years, the number of births in Germany at around 200000-250000 lie. More than half of which will be descendants of the 1965 population living in Germany.
The Germans had virtually eliminated it. Some Like this fate feel for a just punishment a nation where once were SS men fathered - the only way to the sometimes translucent secret joy explain about the German Bevälkerungsentwicklung "

No, Mr. Sarrazin If these numbers are correct.. - and I take the easy at times - then that's really nothing bad! If the people who call in 90 years, "German", half of people with immigrant descendants, then it does not frighten me! The mixture will probably be more colorful, are much more alive, but in any case - different.

An example: If the German national football team is thrilled at the last World Cup by a great, young team, in which a young Berlin called Boateng or a born in Gelsenkirchen "German Turks" called Özil Germany have represented sports, the German football so as started to create it?

The dangerous fool at Sarrazin Statements is not that he calls facts that may be something like this. The horror is his interpretation of these facts, based on an uncritical populist-nationalistic sentiments. And although it just that many words repeatedly denied (because it is always better to its own weakness to criticize in a pleasant way), and it remains his main mistake. The Master of the numbers itself up as chief historian and social visionary on - and fails in his brutal attitude. This attitude is dangerous because it hides behind facts, which are formed by a people thoroughly researched and played smart. This is pseudo-scientific xenophobia. We know this very painful from the oh-so-German past.

and then gets really dangerous: Because many people, even very educated people who consider themselves liberal and tolerant, then say: The man was right with what he quotes! One has but must tell the truth! These abused Sarrazin even Ferdinand Lassalle in his preface: ". Kleingeisterei all political lies in the concealment and disguise of what is"

Before then I fear - and not before a Durchrassung the German people.

And by the way - I like a German!
