Historians have previously glazed over the Mafia's formative years. In this first volume, Ferrante explores its Sicilian roots, before following a cast of larger-than-life characters who arrived as fugitives on American shores. Through these and other lives - including legendary mobsters Lucky Luciano, Vito Genovese, Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Seigel - Ferrante tells the extraordinary story of the Mafia's rise in America, as they provided alcohol during Prohibition, created the gambling mecca Las Vegas and practically took over the island of Cuba.

Hosted by stand up comedian Louis Cervantez.

Es lebte einmal ein Mann auf Hawaii. Er soll nun Kaewe genannt werden, denn er ist noch am Leben und sein Name muss geheim gehalten werden. Er war ein armer Mann, doch mutig und aktiv, fähig zu lesen und zu schreiben. Von Zeit zu Zeit heuerte er auf den Schiffen an und sah so die weite Welt. Eines Tages kommt Kaewe in den Besitz einer magischen Flasche, die seinem Besitzer jedweden Wunsch sofort erfüllt. Zunächst ungläubig stellt Kaewe fest, dass diese Behauptung der Wahrheit entspricht. Leider hat der Zauber auch seinen Nachteil: Besitzt man die Flasche, wenn man stirbt, so gibt es keine Rettung.

Fast auf Reichweite folgte der Schwarze hinter ihm. Rorie und ich blieben stehen, denn hier vermochten Menschen nichts mehr. Das war Gottes Ratschluss, der sich hier vor unseren Augen vollzog. Schneller konnte das Ende nicht kommen. An dieser steilen Küste waren sie mit einem Sprung in der Tiefe.

In der Hinterlassenschaft eines zwielichtigen alten Seebären macht der junge Jim Hawkins eine aufregende Entdeckung: die geheimnisvolle Landkarte einer Südseeinsel, wo die Beute des berüchtigten Seeräubers Flint versteckt ist. So beginnt eine abenteuerliche Schatzsuche, in deren Verlauf Jim Hawkins mehr als einmal um sein Leben und um das seiner Freunde kämpfen muss. Mit Mut und Tapferkeit gelingt es den Männern schließlich, das gefährliche Unternehmen zu einem glücklichen Ende zu bringen.

"Depuis mon plus jeune âge, la vie et moi nous sommes mis perpétuellement à l'épreuve. Jusqu'au jour où elle a décidé de me mettre face au défi ultime : à l'âge de dix-neuf ans, j'ai été victime d'une électrocution de 15 000 volts." Après un arrêt cardiaque de plusieurs minutes et six semaines de coma artificiel, Louis se réveille aussi dépendant qu'un nouveau-né, amputé des deux membres supérieurs. Il lui faudra plus de cinq mois de rééducation pour parvenir à marcher de nouveau et retrouver un minimum d'autonomie.

"Hvem slog min far ihjel" er en selvstændig opfølger til "Færdig med Eddy Bellegueule". Da Louis møder sin far igen efter fem år, er faren en nedbrudt og knækket mand. Med udgangspunkt i en række barndomsnedslag reflekterer Louis over farens liv, fra fødsel til social død. Det er en historie om en søn og en far, der ikke kan finde ud af at tale sammen, men også en historie om en mand fra underklassen, som vi ellers kun sjældent møder i litteraturen. Og det er frem for alt en kollektiv historie – en refleksion over måden politikere og deres beslutninger påvirker vores kroppe.

"Færdig med Eddy Bellegueule" er en stærk og personlig mønsterbryderfortælling om at vokse op på samfundets bund. Allerede som lille opdager Eddy Bellegueule, at han ikke er som de andre drenge. Han er tyndere, blidere og mere feminin. Han kunne ikke passe dårligere ind i sin egen familie i den lille nordfranske flække, hvor det gælder om at være et rigtig mandfolk, og ”bøsse” er det værste skældsord, der findes. Eddys far er som de fleste fædre i byen: Han drikker pastis, kommer op at slås med de andre fædre og slider langsomt og sikkert sig selv ned på den lokale fabrik.

First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is perhaps the most famous example of the gothic horror novella. Gabriel John Utterson, a sombre London lawyer, becomes concerned for the safety and sanity of his friend and client Dr. Henry Jekyll, after the doctor begins associating with an unseemly young man named Edward Hyde. Following a spate of crimes, including blackmail and murder, and with all fingers pointing at Hyde, the lawyer sets out to free his friend from the dreadful influence of his new acquaintance. Not everything, however, is as it seems.

The Toll House, standing alone by the wayside under nodding pines, with its streamlet and water-tank; its backwoods, toll-bar, and well trodden croquet ground; the ostler standing by the stable door, chewing a straw; a glimpse of the Chinese cook in the back parts; and Mr. Hoddy in the bar, gravely alert and serviceable, and equally anxious to lend or borrow books; dozed all day in the dusty sunshine, more than half asleep. There were no neighbours, except the Hansons up the hill.

There is quite a large race or class of people in America, for whom we scarcely seem to have a parallel in England. Of pure white blood, they are unknown or unrecognizable in towns; inhabit the fringe of settlements and the deep, quiet places of the country; rebellious to all labour, and pettily thievish, like the English gipsies; rustically ignorant, but with a touch of wood-lore and the dexterity of the savage. Whence they came is a moot point.

A change in the colour of the light usually called me in the morning. By a certain hour, the long, vertical chinks in our western gable, where the boards had shrunk and separated, flashed suddenly into my eyes as stripes of dazzling blue, at once so dark and splendid that I used to marvel how the qualities could be combined. At an earlier hour, the heavens in that quarter were still quietly coloured, but the shoulder of the mountain which shuts in the canyon already glowed with sunlight in a wonderful compound of gold and rose and green; and this too would kindle, although more mildly and with rainbow tints, the fissures of our crazy gable.

Born in Port-de-Paix Haiti, in this motivational autobiography, Robendjy Pierre-Louis shares his life story. It will uplift your spirit in difficult moments. He came to Boston when he was 15-years-old and had to learn the language and adjust to the new culture. He talks about the time he got third-degree burns in Haiti while making sobrino (hot chocolate).

In our rule at Silverado, there was a melancholy interregnum. The queen and the crown prince with one accord fell sick; and, as I was sick to begin with, our lone position on Mount Saint Helena was no longer tenable, and we had to hurry back to Calistoga and a cottage on the green. By that time we had begun to realize the difficulties of our position. We had found what an amount of labour it cost to support life in our red canyon; and it was the dearest desire of our hearts to get a China-boy to go along with us when we returned.

Once the vampire was man’s deadliest natural enemy, but the dual nature of the revenant pathogen has given rise to a new scourge. Only one man stands in the way of humanity’s total annihilation.

"Historien om mit liv er en lang række af brudte venskaber. På hver etape af mit liv, af dette kapløb med mig selv, har jeg været nødt til at forlade mennesker, jeg har elsket, for at kunne komme endnu længere. Det var ikke en bevidst beslutning fra min side, og heller ikke fra deres: Jeg kæmpede for at forvandle mig selv, og de havde ikke den samme besættelse ..." Den franske forfatter Édouard Louis’ autofiktive roman "Forvandlingens metode" er en fortælling om at bevæge sig fra samfundets absolutte bund til de øverste tinder.
