Ronaldo Wrobel une o contexto histórico a uma trama repleta de cenas memoráveis e ironia fina, construindo um dos thrillers mais instigantes do ano. Ronaldo vive em Copacabana com a avó, Sofia Stern, que nasceu na Alemanha em 1919 e fugiu para o Brasil na véspera da Segunda Guerra. Certo dia, recebe o telefonema de uma juíza alemã às voltas com um processo judicial que pode torná-lo multimilionário. Com a descoberta de um diário, Ronaldo reconstitui a juventude da pacata senhora, revelando peças de um passado que envolve paixões, inveja, traições e dinheiro. Quando outros fatos vêm à tona, Ronaldo se depara com uma série de dilemas. Resta saber o que ele prefere: ficar rico ou fazer justiça.

In 1961, twenty-five-year-old Herbert Jay Stern, fresh from reserve duty, stood in his green army uniform in a New York County courtroom to be sworn in as an attorney. He could only guess what his life as a prosecuting lawyer would be. A dozen years later, in the wake of the national scandal of Watergate, Stern, draped in black robes now, would take the oath of office as a federal judge. In the years between, the idealistic young Stern would sharpen his skills in the realities of the criminal courts of New York City, to emerge as the lead trial attorney for the Justice Department, charged with breaking the back of organized crime in New Jersey.Stern’s highly charged account of his outright war against powerful state government officials and the mafia takes us deep inside the mechanisms of law and order during a time when assassinations came fast and loose, cities were burning in race riots, and racketeering and graft were so prevalent in the Garden State that its own senator called it a “stench in the nostrils and an offense to the vision of the world.” Before Stern and his equally dedicated colleagues on the “strike force” out of Washington, D.C., are finished, they will have successfully prosecuted the mayors of Jersey City, Newark, and Atlantic City for being on the take; a congressman for conspiracy, tax violations, and perjury; and blackened the eye of organized crime.

Neuware - Das Foto eines vertrauten Menschen kann uns berühren «_wie das Licht eines Sterns_» (Roland Barthes); die Bilder flüchtender Kinder führen die Schrecken des Krieges geradezu schmerzhaft vor Augen. Wie kommt es, dass Fotos eine so ungeheure Wirkung auf uns haben Wie viel Wirklichkeit steckt in oder hinter den Bildern Helmut Lethen geht diesen Fragen auf einem Streifzug durch die Kunst- und Mediengeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts nach: Er zeigt uns am Beispiel der berühm-ten Fotografien Robert Capas von der Landung in der Normandie, wie aus Bildern Geschichtszeichen werden; er folgt gebannt den Performances von Marina Abramovic, in denen Kunst und Wirklichkeit verschmelzen; er vertieft sich in das ironische Zeichenspiel des Konzeptkünstlers Bruce Nauman, das jede Realität dahinter verschwinden lässt; er entdeckt in idyllisch anmutenden Bildern jene totale Verlassenheit, die ihn bereits als Kind erschreckte. Lethen erläutert, was Bilder sind und was sie vermögen, ohne dabei die Wirklichkeit hinter ihnen preiszugeben. Ein eindringliches Plädoyer und eine Schule des Sehens in einer unübersichtlichen Zeit.
