Der PhilosophenteppichHenrike von Schuckmann

Dieses Buch ist sehr interessant und nicht ausverkauft. Ich kann etliche Exemplare anbieten, bei Interesse, Email... ursula.stelter@t-online.deu***@t***.de

Die fuchse im WeinbergLion Feuchtwanger

This book is outstanding. So many fun characters and you learn so much about the way class functioned in pre-Revolutionary France.g***@g***.com

A strangeness in my mindOrhan Pamuk

At first glance, it’s a quiet story—no dramatic twists, just life unfolding in Istanbul. But once you read Pamuk, you’re hooked: the characters become part of your world. It’s a vivid, immersive portrait of daily life and longing.a***@g***.com

La península de las casas vacíasDavid Uclés

Excelente account of civil war, not taking sides.P***@g***.com

Holubí poštaArthur Ransome

Great illustrations by Zdeněk Burian. Very good print quality. Illustrated endpapers. Map on endpapers.VM

The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and DisappearedJonas Jonasson

A charming book , certainly shadows of Forrest Gump but so Swedish at heart and much more naughty than Gump.d***@d***.com

And the mountains echoedKhaled Hosseini

A moving and emotional story that weaves together the lives of many characters, all connected through Afghanistan. It’s the second book I’ve read by Hosseini—after A Thousand Splendid Suns—and it holds its own just as beautifully.a***@g***.com

Сатурн почти не виденWassili Ardamatski

A very interisting story about spies during World War II on Soviet territory. A group of Soviet intelligence officers manages to infiltrate the German spy center "Saturn"... Illustrations by Arkady Lurye. First edition of the novel.VM

Big breasts and wide hips : a novelYan Mo, Howard Goldblatt

Mo Yan blends grandeur with harsh, graphic realism well, confronting taboos head-on. But despite its power, the book can be a heavy, slow read—it didn't pull me in so much.a***@g***.com

The Shadow of the WindCarlos Ruiz Zafón

A well-crafted and imaginative novel that leans more toward an adventure tale than a crime story at times. The characters—though occasionally exaggerated—add to the book’s rich, almost magical atmosphere.a***@g***.com

The Almond TreeMichelle Cohen Corasanti

This one hit me hard. It's a touching, powerful story about hatred passed down through generations, and how it warps entire nations. It made me feel sad and frustrated—yet reminded me why stories like this matter.a***@g***.com

The House of Doors: Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2023Tan Twan Eng

Nicely written, atmospheric novel that makes for the perfect summer hammock read. It’s not a masterpiece, but its slow, elegant unfolding of imperfect characters and relationships reveals how appearances can be deceiving—just like hidden doors in a house.a***@g***.com
