The Art of Indirection in British Espionage Fiction
In contrast to the classical detective story, the spy novel tends to be considered a suspect, somewhat subversive genre. While previous studies have focused on its historical, thematic, and ideological dimensions, this critical work examines British espionage fiction's unique narrative form, which is typically elliptical, oblique, and recursive. Featured works include eighteen novels by Eric Ambler, Graham Greene, Len Deighton, John le Carre, Stella Rimington, and Charles Cumming, most of which exemplify the existential or serious spy thriller. Half of these texts pertain to the Cold War era and the other half to its aftermath in the so-called "Age of Terrorism."

The New Brand Spirit
Effective sustainability communication can deliver business value. Get it wrong, however, and the reputational damage will be costly. Stakeholders, and the general public as well as activists, are unforgiving of companies whose products, services, business practices or culture fall short of their socially responsible rhetoric. Based on close to one hundred in-depth interviews with leading experts, Christian Conrad and Marjorie Thompson's The New Brand Spirit helps corporate communications and marketing professionals tackle this conundrum by providing a first-hand view of eight distinct and relevant stakeholder perspectives. Nineteen comprehensive and well-researched best practice cases from sustainability leaders like IBM, Unilever, Marks & Spencer and Puma will inspire all those tasked with communicating sustainability with practical and applicable tools and lessons learned. The result is a book that will enable senior executives, corporate communication professionals and brand managers to decide when, to whom and how to communicate sustainability related messages - and when not to.
Witnessing Christ
How do Christological Perspectives differ and which specific ways of witnessing Christ exist depending on cultural, geographical and confessional context in which they developed? Theologians from Africa, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, Oceania and Europe discuss these questions focussing on the missiological implications of various contextual Christologies. They aim to answer the question if contextual and confessional provenience coins the epistemological preconditions in a way that creates, shapes and secures peculiar identities.

Immelancholy
Una ragazza meravigliosa si batte contro la tirannide, per la libertà e il riscatto delle ingiustizie. Ma la scintilla dell'amore non riesce mai a spegnersi. Cosa vi sarebbe di più facile che ricambiare l'amore per una ragazza che nelle vene avesse il sangue felino dell’antica stirpe tanto più se a stringerla tra le braccia fosse un uomo solitario e selvaggio dagli irresistibili occhi d'ambra? Non vi sarebbero freni alla passione di Leila Anwari irriducibile e ribelle, se non fosse per la violenza inferta alla sua stessa famiglia e se non fosse per il richiamo della vendetta con la sua inestinguibile sete di sangue. Una ragazza, sola tra odio e amore, in guerra per il riscatto dell’intera Germania contro la dittatura feroce di Assim e degli Arcieri. Le passioni più esplicite, il gusto della vendetta e l'emozione di un amore fantastico.

Rhapsodie Ost
Eigentlich war es so einfach mit dem rüber machen. Nach Berlin fahren, einsteigen in die S-Bahn im Osten der Stadt, aussteigen im Westen, und schon wäre man am Ziel. Eigentlich so einfach, wäre da nicht die Staatssicherheit mit ihren Augen, die gefühlt überall lauerte, vor allem am Grenzübergang. In einer Rhapsodie sind einzelne musikalische Themen lose miteinander verbunden und ergeben ein Gesamtwerk. Im Roman RHAPSODIE OST geht es um unterschiedliche Menschen, deren Wege erst nach und miteinander verbunden werden. Der fleißige Zugführer, der eine Frau tötet. Die verträumte Mormonin, die vom Krieg gezeichnet ist. Der erfolgreiche Pianist, der eine Geliebte hat. Die ehrgeizige Radiosprecherin, die sich nicht von ihm trennen kann. Sie alle leben das zwanzigste Jahrhundert im Osten Deutschlands auf ihre eigene Art im Schatten von politischen Umbrüchen. Sie träumen, gewinnen, scheitern und betrügen. Und dann treffen sich ihre Kinder und die Geschichte geht weiter.
