Willy sehnt sich nach nichts so sehr wie nach einem normalen Leben. Er will seine Arbeit als Zimmerer gut machen, er will für seine Familie sorgen, er träumt vom eigenen Häuschen. Mit seiner ehrlichen Art stößt er immer wieder an Grenzen, was nichts an seinem Entschluss ändert, anständig zu bleiben. Horst, ein ungelernter Hilfsarbeiter, glaubt schon lange nicht mehr daran, auf ehrliche Weise nach oben zu kommen. Er greift zu halbseidenen Mitteln, und seine Existenz entgleitet ihm in dem Maße, in dem er seine Aggressionen nicht im Griff hat.

Dawoud is on the run from his murky past, aiming to discover where he belongs. He tries to assimilate into different groups along his journey through North Africa and Israel, changing his clothes, his religious affiliations, and even his name to fit in, but the safety and peace he seeks remain elusive. It seems prejudice is everywhere, holding him back, when all he really wants is to create a simple life he can call his own. A chameleon, Dawoud—or David, Adal, or Dawit, depending on where and when you meet him—is not lost in this whirl of identities. In fact, he is defined by it.

Ever since he fell off the stage live on Question Time, Labour MP Duncan Stonebridge has been stuck in political limbo. Struggling with a tiny majority and a career that's going nowhere, he's caught between the impossible demands of his constituents and the dictates of Westminster—and constantly afflicted by the bane of all politicians: events. Whether he's getting wound up about a wind farm, saving his party agent from a rabid Russian oligarch, fending off accusations or losing a laptop full of reports, life never runs smoothly for the beleaguered backbencher.

A young woman sits in her apartment, watching the small daily dramas of her neighbors across the way. She is an outsider, a mute voyeur, safe behind her windows, and she sees it all—the sex, the fights, the happy and unhappy families. Journeying from her war-torn Syrian homeland to this unnamed British city has traumatized her into silence, and her only connection to the world is the magazine column she writes under the pseudonym “the Voiceless,” where she tries to explain the refugee experience without sensationalizing it—or revealing anything about herself.

Worlds apart, suspended between hope and disillusion as hours become days become weeks, Sama and Hadi yearn for a way back to each other, and to the life they'd dreamed up together. But does that life exist any more, or was it only an illusion?

As night falls in Adana, köftes and cups of cloudy raki are passed to the dinner guests in the home of Ali—a former laborer who gives tight bear hugs, speaks with a southeastern lilt, and radiates the spirit of a child. Among the guests are a journalist named Oya, who has recently been released from prison and is living in exile on charges of leftist sympathizing, and her new acquaintance, Mustafa. A swift kick knocks down the front door and bumbling policemen converge on the guests, carting them off to holding cells, where they’ll be interrogated and tortured through the night.

It’s the summer of 1994, and all Maeve Murray wants are good final exam results so she can earn her ticket out of the wee Northern Irish town she has grown up in during the Troubles—away from her crowded home, the silence and sadness surrounding her sister’s death, and most of all, away from the simmering violence of her divided community. And as a first step, Maeve’s taken a summer job in a local shirt factory working alongside Protestants with her best friends, kind, innocent Caroline Jackson and privileged and clever Aoife O’Neill.

From Brexit to Covid, parties to pig culling, the Conservative government has lurched from crisis to crisis. With a front-row seat on the, erm, backbenches, the Secret Tory has picked up on all the petty rivalries, bad decision-making and scandalous affairs that Whitehall has to offer. And he’s got no qualms about sharing it. All. Join the mystery MP as he drunk-texts Liz Truss after a crate of WKD, accompanies Jacob Rees-Mogg (and his kids) to picket a foodbank, takes on the French in the ‘Trawler Wars’, and euthanises Rishi Sunak’s dog—and that’s just October.

Deutschland in naher Zukunft: Die regierende Partei "Heimatfront Deutschland" deportiert alle Migranten und politische Gegner in eine Hand voll hermetisch abgeriegelter sogenannter Flüchtlingsstädte. Elsa Jacobi, die charismatische Führerin der "HfD", herrscht mit eiserner Hand über die Republik und kontrolliert Medien und Staatsorgane mit Gewalt und Terror. Wie Marionetten manipuliert sie die Menschen um sich herum für ihre Zwecke. So auch den jungen Politstar Hassan, der getrieben vom Hass auf seine türkischen Wurzeln nach Anerkennung und Macht strebt.

Imagina que hay otra España desde el golpe del 23-F. Y que vivimos en una dictadura militar. Imagina que te llamas Libertad Guerra y eres periodista en el diario Pueblo, en Madrid. Que tu padre fue un poeta rojo y que en Lerma, vuestro pueblo, acosan a tu madre. Imagina que, mientras agoniza la movida de los 80, te enrollas con Imanol, un joven actor vasco. Y que la policía lo detiene y desaparece. Imagina que un flechazo te ha perforado. Y que tienes que encontrar a Imanol como sea.
