Der Schauplatz des Herrn der Ringe ist Mittelerde, eine alternative Welt, und erzählt wird von der gefahrvollen Quest einiger Gefährten, die in einem dramatischen Kampf gegen das Böse endet. Durch einen merkwürdigen Zufall fällt dem Hobbit Bilbo Beutlin ein Zauberring zu, dessen Kraft, käme er in die falschen Hände, zu einer absoluten Herrschaft des Bösen führen würde. Bilbo übergibt den Ring an seinen Neffen Frodo, der den Ring in der Schicksalskluft zerstören soll. Hobbits sind kleine, gemütliche Leute, dabei aber erstaunlich zäh. Sie leben in einem ländlichen Idyll, dem Auenland. Der Übersetzer Wolfgang Krege ist einer der profundesten Kenner Mittele

Six days on the road with an enigmatic holy man who answers every question with a riddle is not what he'd planned.

Red Rising   Hardcover   – January 28, 2014 NEW YORK TIMES  BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY  ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, BUZZFEED,  AND  SHELF AWARENESS “Ender, Katniss, and now Darrow.” —Scott Sigler   Pierce Brown’s relentlessly entertaining debut channels the excitement of  The Hunger Games  by Suzanne Collins and  Ender’s Game  by Orson Scott Card. “I live for the dream that my children will be born free,” she says. “That they will be what they like.

Elmer Gantry   Mass Market Paperback   – December 4, 2007 Sinclair Lewis’ world-famous satire of religious hypocrisy and the excesses of the Roaring ʼ20s.   Universally recognized as a landmark in American literature,  Elmer Gantry  scandalized readers when it was first published, causing Sinclair Lewis to be “invited” to a jail cell in New Hampshire and to his own lynching in Virginia. His portrait of a golden-tongued evangelist who rises to power within his church—a saver of souls who lives a life of duplicity, sensuality, and ruthless self-indulgence—is also the record of a period, a reign of grotesque vulgarity, which but for Lewis would have left no trace of itself.  Elmer Gantry  has been called the greatest, most vital, and most penetrating study of hypocrisy that has been written since the works of Voltaire.   With an introduction by Jason Stevens
