Story96
Captured, abducted and married into Boko Haram, the narrator of this story witnesses and suffers the horrors of a community of men governed by a brutal code of violence. Barely more than a girl herself, she must soon learn how to survive as a woman with a child of her own. Just as the world around her seems entirely consumed by madness, bound for hell, she is offered an escape of sorts - but only into another landscape of trials and terrors amidst the unforgiving wilds of northeastern Nigeria.

Story5
Newly married and having recently taken over the management of a hotel in Honolulu, a former writer is drawn into the lives of his guests and the distinctive customs and rhythms of the distant island. As witness to the many contrasting chronicles of the hotel's characters, he ultimately returns to writing once again. The result is this novel in 80 distinct episodes, a Chaucerian sequence of strange pilgrims and islanders confronting each other and their fates in the rooms of the seedy hotel.

Charming and heroic, there’s nothing about Gabriel Woodruff that Avery Burke doesn’t love. His warm brown eyes, his generosity, that small scar above his lip. The newspaper photo of him carrying her from a burning home only adds to the romance of it all. A fairytale beginning and a picture-perfect marriage practically guarantees Avery and Gabriel a ride into the sunset. But every relationship has flaws, and what they ignored while they were busy being flawless eventually surfaces. The unraveling begins with the smallest tug on the tiniest string.

Dora ist mit ihrer kleinen Hündin aufs Land gezogen. Sie brauchte dringend einen Tapetenwechsel, mehr Freiheit, Raum zum Atmen. Aber ganz so idyllisch wie gedacht ist Bracken, das kleine Dorf im brandenburgischen Nirgendwo, nicht. In Doras Haus gibt es noch keine Möbel, der Garten gleicht einer Wildnis, und die Busverbindung in die Kreisstadt ist ein Witz. Vor allem aber verbirgt sich hinter der hohen Gartenmauer ein Nachbar, der mit kahlrasiertem Kopf und rechten Sprüchen sämtlichen Vorurteilen zu entsprechen scheint.

Egy, a barátjáért önmagát feláldozó katonatisztet idegenlégiós haláltáborba küldenek. A hely megrendítő víziója a későbbi haláltáborok atmoszférájának. A személyiségüktől és reményeiktől megfosztott áldozatokat, azaz a Csontbrigádot a főhős végül átvezeti az Ajtón, Amely Nem Vezet Sehova, hogy eljussanak a megtalált igazsághoz és az élethez.
