Agnon’s Story
Agnon’s Story is the first complete psychoanalytic biography of the Nobel-Prize-winning Hebrew writer S.Y. Agnon. It investigates the hidden links between his stories and his biography.

Yet he maintained an incredible emotional resiliency and ability to “sublimate” his emotional pain into works of art. This biography seeks to investigate the emotional character of his literary canon, his ambivalence to his family and the underlying narcissistic grandiosity of his famous “modesty.”
The Untold Story of a Young Girl During WWII
This book is an account of my childhood years, six of which happened during WWII. Most of the books of that period deal with the Holocaust and other atrocities perpetrated by Hitler and his henchmen in Europe. While this tragedy was occurring in Europe, mainly in Poland, a different scenario was taking place thousands of miles away in the Taiga of Siberia, both involving Polish Jews.

The Griffin: The Greatest Untold Espionage Story of World War II
“The Griffin” was Paul Rosbaud’s code name as a spy. Rosbaud (1896-1963) was a distinguished science editor for the German publishing firm Springer Verlag, a close friend of leading physicists who worked on nuclear fission, and, apparently, a pillar of Nazi society. But he was also Britain’s most valuable spy in Germany during World War II. Rosbaud supplied the British with the “Oslo Report” which disclosed, early in the war, details about Germany’s military technology, including the rockets developed at Peenemünde that would devastate London. It was from Rosbaud that the British first learned of the German intent to make the atomic bomb. When they failed to grasp the principl...
We All Have a Story to Tell
Accident-prone you might wonder? Not really. But Anthony Pasqualetti is acutely aware that the incidents in his long and fulfilling life are rich with close-calls, death-defying thrills, and uncanny acts of bravery and singular episodes where any one man could have easily succumbed or chose to flee. Anthony G. Pasqualetti chose to take on his life lessons with integrity, honesty and clarity. Each close call made him wonder what the Good Lord had in store for him. Yet each brush with death confirmed his lust for life and his ability to work diligently through adversity. He considers himself a common man found in uncommon circumstances. He always tries to deal with whatever comes along as a test and a process by which he would grow stronger and more resilient. Tony is a man who doesn't see why people are amazed that he has lived to the age of 80, since any ten men should have given up when faced with so many personal perils. This story is told completely from the author's perspective. A simple tale in complexity; a string of diverse dilemmas handled with pragmatic certainty --- Tony is somewhat amazed to find out that he was --- born to survive with a will to live.
German Children's and Youth Literature in Exile 1933-1950
This volume deals with authors in exile - those writers who were forced to leave their home country after the National Socialists seized power in 1933. Although many of the authors have continued to receive recognition in their particular fields, whether film or adult literature, one group of artists has been overlooked - the authors and illustrators of children's literature. Now for the first time German Children's and Youth Literature in Exile, 1933-1050, has recorded and made accessible a wealth of information on these German-speaking authors and illustrators who emigrated to many different countries and regions of the world. German Children's and Youth Literature in Exile, 1933-1950, con...
