“Did Wirtz, the commandant of Andersonville prison, ever do anything as inhumanly brutal as was inflicted on Confederate prisoners in Camp Douglas?” —Sgt. T. B. Clore, Camp Douglas survivor The Chicago doctors who inspected the prison in 1863 called Camp Douglas an “extermination camp.” It quickly became the largest Confederate burial ground outside of the South. What George Levy’s meticulous research, including newly discovered hospital records, has uncovered is not a pretty picture. The story of Camp Douglas is one of brutal guards, deliberate starvation of prisoners, neglect of the sick, sadistic torture, murder, corruption at all levels, and a beef scandal reaching into the White House. As a result of the overcrowding and substandard provisions, disease ran rampant and the mortality rate soared. By the thousands, prisoners needlessly died of pneumonia, smallpox, and other maladies. Most were buried in unmarked mass graves. The exact number of those who died is impossible to discern because of the Union’s haphazard recordkeeping and general disregard for the deceased. Among the most shocking revelations are such forms of torture as hanging prisoners by their thumbs, hanging them by their heels and then whipping them, and forcing prisoners to sit with their exposed buttocks in the ice and snow. The Confederate Camp Andersonville never saw such gratuitous barbarity.

Neuware -Zwei Schwestern: Die eine arbeitet sich an sämtlichem Unrecht unserer Gegenwart ab, die andere am bürgerlichen Familienideal; für die eine ist ihr Schwarzsein eine politische Kategorie, für die andere ihr Muttersein. Klug, erhellend und mit hintergründigem Witz erzählt Yandé Seck in ihrem Debütroman von den Ambivalenzen, die wir im Kleinen wie im Großen aushalten müssen.Dieo lebt mit ihrem Mann Simon und drei Söhnen in einer schönen Altbauwohnung im Frankfurter Nordend. Sie leidet unter den unerfüllbaren Ansprüchen der Gesellschaft an sie als Mutter, vor allem aber ist es die ständige Kritik ihrer jüngeren Schwester Zazie an allem und jedem, die an ihren Nerven zerrt. Auch Simon, ein mittelalter weißer Mann und Angestellter in einem Finanz-Start-up, gerät immer wieder ins Visier seiner Schwägerin, die zunehmend an der rassistischen und sexistischen Gesellschaft verzweifelt.Als der Vater der Schwestern, ein eigensinniger Nietzschefan, der vor mehr als vierzig Jahren aus dem Senegal nach Deutschland kam, unerwartet stirbt, gerät das mühsam kalibrierte Familiengefüge aus dem Gleichgewicht. Für die Beerdigung reisen die Schwestern in das Land ihres Vaters. Der Abschied wird für die beiden zu einem Neuanfang - in vielerlei Hinsicht. 335 pp. Deutsch

The composer (Johann Gottfried) Carl Loewe is familiar to music lovers of the 20th and 21st centuries above all as the writer of important ballad scores, of which Edward, Erlkonig, Herr Oluf, and Archibald Douglas are well-known examples. His songs Die Uhr or Heinrich der Vogler were or are popular hits, especially in a bygone heyday of salon music and educated bourgeois culture. Loewe wrote more than 400 songs. But the same Carl Loewe also write six operas, two symphonies and two piano concerto

Packed with an Astounding Amount of New and Never-Before-Collected Material.Why are people born? Why do they die? Why do they want to spend so much of the intervening time wearing digital watches?No one but Douglas Adams could have pared life’s meaning down to these three questions, and they remain as inspired and head-scratchingly clever today as they did twenty-five years ago when they appeared in the first edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Showcasing his quick wit, comic genius, and wide-ranging intelligence, Hitchhiker’s has become nothing less than a cult classic and cultural phenomenon. To celebrate its quarter century and the extraordinary legacy of Adams, this gorgeously designed, mostly harmless deluxe edition gathers never-before-collected photographs, original artwork, memorabilia (from the strange to the sublime), and wisdom gleaned from a first read or first encounter as Douglas’s friends remember how the galaxy was forever changed a mere twenty-five years ago (not to mention the original text of the novel) into a one-of-a-kind Guide as stunning as two suns setting over Magrathea.Whether you are well versed in the antics of Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered Earthman plucked from his planet seconds before it’s demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, and Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy posing as an out-of-work actor, or are hitching a ride for the first time, this is the book that has everything you’ll nee to know about anything.So please do not be alarmed. Definitely don’t panic. Just be sure to grab a towel.
