Lea Ypi grew up in the last Stalinist country in Europe: Albania, a place of queuing and scarcity, of political executions and secret police. While family members disappeared to what she was told were "universities" from which few "graduated," she swore loyalty to the Party. In her eyes, people were equal, neighbors helped each other, and children were expected to build a better world.

Doaa Al Zamel was once an average Syrian girl growing up in a crowded house in a bustling city near the Jordanian border. But in 2011 her life was upended. Inspired by the events of the Arab Spring, Syrians began to stand up against their own oppressive regime.

Das Salz zwischen uns – Eine Heimkehr an die KaimauerRike kehrt an die Ostsee zurück, nahe der Schlei. Der Wind schlägt ihr entgegen wie früher: kühl, salzig, unerbittlich.Das Katenhaus. Die Kaimauer. Der Sommer von damals. Alles holt sie ein – ohne Vorwarnung.Und dann steht sie ihr gegenüber: dem Mädchen im Spiegel.Diesmal läuft sie nicht weg. Denn hier, zwischen Salz, Erinnerung und Wahrheit, hat sie noch etwas offen.Geschrieben von Key SchaGesprochen von Kerstin Schmadtke

From the psychedelic living rooms of the 60's to the debt-heavy reality of today, Ken Straus tracks his Boomer journey through a woodchipper of grievance and irony. It's part stand-up, part eulogy, and a full-throttle reckoning with the generation that set out to save the world and ended up owning it.

Als Kind musste Don Pablo Mulemba, Sohn eines angolanischen Vertragsarbeiters und einer Ostdeutschen, ständig seine Hautfarbe erklären. Er selbst empfand sich selbstverständlich als deutsch. Er sprach den gleichen Dialekt wie alle anderen, kannte nichts anderes als die brandenburgische Provinz – und wurde doch immer wieder zum Fremden gemacht. Seine Eltern hatten sich in der DDR kennengelernt, aber der Osten der Nachwendezeit war kein sicherer Ort mehr für sie und ihre Kinder.

L’ANGOLA, c’est le pays de mon parrain Kulondi. C’est le pays le plus beau de la terre. Depuis mon enfance, j’ai entendu parler de toutes sortes d’histoires. J’y suis allé trois fois, en Angola. En février 2006, à la fin de mes études d’ingénieur en mécanique, durant un mois, pour le découvrir. En septembre 2010, j'y suis retourné pour un peu moins d’une année. J’ai essayé d’obtenir un visa pour travailler au sein de l’entreprise Auto-Mecãnica établie à Lobito. Et durant le mois de mai 2024, sans vraiment savoir pourquoi, c’est une énigme.

We Only Came to Dream is a memoir, not a novel, of the Counterculture Era (“hippie”). It is often one of high humor, silent introspection, and even danger. It was a time of social upheaval, a redefinition of the role of sex and race, and what it meant to be part of the mainstream…or not. Rediscovery was in the air, a marijuana-filled air, and often included quite a bit of travel.

In the fall of 2025, Clay-Chalkville High School in Alabama chased a championship in the space between memory and change. Friday nights arrived with familiar rituals and quiet pressure. Helmets were buckled. Lights came on. A stadium that held decades of voices stood on borrowed time, even as a new season demanded full attention. Wins accumulated, but so did moments that never appeared on a scoreboard – conversations in parking lots, superstitions repeated without explanation, lessons passed down rather than announced.

Coming Back to My Trees / Dod yn ôl at fy Nghoed is a lyrical memoir of loss, belonging and spiritual return. Rooted in hiraeth- a deep longing for home, it blends memory, myth and the sacred landscapes of Wales. Dedicated to those raised without a full understanding of Welsh culture or language, it is both a reclamation and a healing.

COMO NALGA DE MONJA es una reflexión ingeniosa, sincera y profundamente humana sobre la vida, la muerte, la fe y la extraña aventura de estar vivo.

Michael seemed like a typical New Yorker and in a lot of ways he was. He had a swagger and an accent that was unmistakable. That's what he wanted people to think about him. And he risked his life on 9/11 to come to the aid of his city. He was a hero-but that was not always the case throughout much of his life. Rescued from a life that was heading into crime and prostitution, Michael was reset on a road to become a responsible citizen.
