Stefan Martinez
Ulrich Peltzers früher, großer Roman ›Stefan Martinez‹ ist ein Entwicklungsroman, der fast ein gesamtes Jahrhundert umfasst. Erzählt werden zwei Tage aus dem Leben des Stefan Martinez, der das Berlin der späten achtziger Jahre erkundet. Die Erzählung greift aus in seine Lebensgeschichte wie die seiner Familie, berichtet von den Schützengrabenkämpfen des Ersten Weltkriegs in Frankreich und den Bombennächten des Zweiten Weltkriegs in einer mittelgroßen rheinischen Industriestadt. So entsteht ein Weltpanorama, das Zeiten und Räume ineinanderblendet, um aus den unterschiedlichsten Tönen ein Buch ganz eigener Art zu komponieren: Vom inneren Monolog über Tagebuchnotizen bis zum Jargon der Boheme fügen sich die Stimmen der Figuren zu einem vielgestaltigen Sprachuniversum zusammen. Ein großer Bewusstseinsroman der Gegenwart.

The Threads of The Heart
They say Frasquita knows magic. She does indeed possess a remarkable gift, one passed down to the women in her family for generations. From rags, off-cuts and rough fabric she can create gowns and other garments so magnificent, so alive, that they are capable of masking any defect or deformity (and pregnancies!). They bestow a breathtaking and blinding beauty on whoever wears them. But her gift makes others in her Andalusian village jealous - she is banished from her home. What follows is an extraordinary adventure as she travels across Spain all the way to Africa.
The Castle of Whispers
In this haunting novel, Martinez weaves an enchanting and lyrical tale whereby a whisper can become a shout heard by an entire people, and the voice of a child can be more powerful than that of a king. At fifteen, Esclarmonde realizes that the only way out of her betrothal is to renounce her freedom and a part of herself. Rather than accept the hand of a philandering knight, she cuts off her own ear and declares herself to be the mistress of Christ. She uses her dowry to build a stone chapel, where she entombs herself, inhabiting a magical place between the living and the dead. Out of the ashes of her former self arises the Virgin of Whispers—a mystical being whose prescient murmurs can alter the fate of a kingdom.

Remembering and Forgetting the Ancient City
The Greco-Roman world is identified in the modern mind by its cities. This includes both specific places such as Athens and Rome, but also an instantly recognizable style of urbanism wrought in marble and lived in by teeming tunic-clad crowds. Selective and misleading this vision may be, but it speaks to the continuing importance these ancient cities have had in the centuries that followed and the extent to which they define the period in subsequent memory. Although there is much that is mysterious about them, the cities of the Roman Mediterranean are, for the most part, historically known. That the names and pasts of these cities remain known to us is the product of an extraordinary process...
