A well-connected lawyer and his deranged wife die in a mysterious fire. Their fate, however, is much more than material for a whodunit. Murder, dictatorship, love, eroticism, torture, and the healing power of art: these and many other elements comprise this novel of political repression and personal redemption set in Corrientes, northern Argentina, in the heart of South America. Juan Manuel Marcos's Gunter's Winter, translated for the first time into English by Tracy Karl Lewis, offers a poetic and intellectually challenging vision of Latin America in the turbulent 1980s and of human endurance wherever tyranny abides.

Gunter's Winter is an exotic fusion of Spanish, Buenos Airean and Paraguayan culture, of intrigue and human relations set against an unfolding backdrop of the military and political landscape of the time, with more than a touch of Chilean spice. Colourful characters play out their lives revolving around Gunter, Eliza, Soledad and Veronica, the four poles, with passages of prose interspersed with free ranging poetical sections characterised by both their lyricism and their savagery. The overwhelming theme is the triumph of the human spirit, of love and liberation over corruption, greed and vice. Gunter's Winter has a truly mythical quality, part fable, part legend, part moral tale; it is both instructive and compelling, with a brilliantly devised and unexpected conclusion as reality and myth weave together.

Günter Koschorrek wrote his illicit diary on any scraps of paper he could lay his hands on, storing them with his mother on infrequent trips home on leave. The diary went missing, and it was not until he was reunited with his daughter in America some forty years later that it came to light and became Blood Red Snow. The authors excitement at the first encounter with the enemy in the Russian Steppe is obvious. Later, the horror and confusion of fighting in the streets of Stalingrad are brought to life by his descriptions of the others in his unit their differing manners and techniques for dealing with the squalor and death. He is also posted to Romania and Italy, assignments he remembers fondly compared to his time on the Eastern Front. This book stands as a memorial to the huge numbers on both sides who did not survive and is, some six decades later, the fulfilment of a responsibility the author feels to honour the memory of those who perished.

In Corrientes, einer Stadt an der argentinisch-paraguayischen Grenze, wird die siebzehnjährige Poetin Soledad in der Zeit des Falklandkrieges unschuldig eingesperrt und gefoltert. Widerwillig begibt sich ihr Onkel Gunter, ein deutschstämmiger Paraguayer und kaltherziger Manager der Weltbank, in Begleitung seiner Ehefrau Eliza auf die Reise ins Zentrum des südamerikanischen Staatsterrorismus, um Soledad zu retten. Gunters Winter wurde als Buch des Jahres 1987 ausgezeichnet und ist nach einer umfangreichen Expertenbefragung der wichtigste paraguayische Roman der letzten vier Jahrzehnte. Das Bildungsministerium des Landes erklärte es als von nationalem Bildungsinteresse. Seine Handlung lebt von den dramatischen Erlebnissen des Autors Juan Manuel Marcos zwischen 1973 und 1987, in den schwierigen Jahren der Militärdiktatur in Paraguay, sowie von den schweren Schicksalsschlägen infolge seines politischen Exils in Spanien und den Vereinigten Staaten. Eine schaurige Hommage an den Idealismus der lateinamerikanischen Jugend, verflochten mit den feinsten Techniken der avantgardistischen Erzählkunst. Erschüttert durch eine profunde Lyrik, bejubelt von der Leserschaft und den internationalen Kritikern, übersetzt in vierzig Sprachen.

A USA Today bestseller! The lush epic fantasy that inspired a generation with a single precept: “Love As Thou Wilt." Returning to the realm of Terre d’Ange which captured an entire generation of fantasy readers, New York Times bestselling author Jacqueline Carey brings us a hero’s journey for a new era. In Kushiel’s Dart, a daring young courtesan uncovered a plot to destroy her beloved homeland. But hers is only half the tale. Now see the other half of the heart that lived it. Cassiel’s Servant is a retelling of cult favorite Kushiel’s Dart from the point of view of Joscelin, Cassiline warrior-priest and protector of Phèdre nó Delaunay. He’s sworn to celibacy and the blade as surely as she’s pledged to pleasure, but the gods they serve have bound them together. When both are betrayed, they must rely on each other to survive. From his earliest training to captivity amongst their enemies, his journey with Phèdre to avert the conquest of Terre D’Ange shatters body and mind... and brings him an impossible love that he will do anything to keep. Even if it means breaking all vows and losing his soul. “Decadent and dark, Cassiel’s Servant reveals the secrets of the mysterious Cassiline brotherhood. In this gorgeously realized novel, Carey returns to the world of Terre d’Ange and offers us a new and dazzling perspective on a character we thought we knew.”—Nghi Vo, author of The Chosen and the Beautiful and Siren Queen Kushiel's Legacy #1 Kushiel's Dart #2 Kushiel's Chosen #3 Kushiel's Avatar Standalones Miranda and Caliban Starless The Sundering #1 Banewreaker #2 Godslayer At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
