Mütter, Töchter und andere Krisen: Familie 2.0 - Band 01
Start der neuen Reihe FAMILIE 2.0 Annette ist Geschäftsfrau, sie liebt ihre Villa, ihre Firma und ihre Familie. 'Genau in der Reihenfolge', meint Tochter Monika, die sich ganz der Familie widmet. Als sie ihren Mann Udo jedoch bei einem Seitensprung erwischt, zieht sie mit Tochter Sarah in die Villa ihrer Mutter. Annette, die Udos betriebswirtschaftliche Fähigkeiten zu schätzen weiß, macht ihn dennoch zu ihrem Geschäftsführer. Da sind Probleme ebenso vorprogrammiert, wie bei dem Versuch ihres Ex-Mannes, seinen ungewollten Ruhestand zu verheimlichen. Die herrschende Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise macht die Situation auch nicht leichter, verhilft aber zu neuen Ideen – und schafft am Ende völlig neue Verhältnisse. Ein paar Worte zur Reihe In Bad Brunn, einer fiktiven Kleinstadt im Wiener Becken, wohnen Menschen wie Du und ich. Sie lieben und hassen, haben Hoffnungen und Träume, Vorlieben und Vorurteile - und sie haben Familie. Nun ist Familie ein durchaus dehnbarer Begriff. Während man früher in Großfamilien zusammenlebte, sich später gerne in die Kernfamilie zurückzog, entstehen in unseren Tagen oft Patchworkfamilien, die - mit etwas gutem Willen - zu ganz erstaunlichen Konstellationen führen können. Ihnen widmet sich diese Reihe - mit einem Augenzwinkern, aber ohne auf realistische Hintergründe und amüsante Details zu verzichten. Viel Spaß!

Als Jugendliche in den Sommerferien, mit ihrer gesamten Abiklasse - und mit all ihren Liebhabern, die Tantchens aristokratischem Blick standhalten müssen. Und auch als Adrianas Mann sie nach dreißig Jahren Ehe verlässt, ist es ihre 98-jährige Tante, die ihr am Gardasee mit jeder Menge Pasta, pragmatischen Ratschlägen und Barbesuchen zur Seite steht. Ausgerechnet Teta Jeles hundertsten Geburtstag können sie nicht miteinander feiern. Adrianas Tante ist im Pflegeheim, wegen der Pandemie darf sie keinen Besuch empfangen. Umso häufiger telefonieren die beiden miteinander. Und lassen dabei Jeles Jahrhundertleben Revue passieren.

Die Liebe zu Fritz Epstein, der rechtzeitig nach Australien floh. Den Umgang mit dem Altwerden und der eigenen Geschichte inmitten des Weltgeschehens. Adriana Altaras entwirft ein zartes, bewegendes und zugleich irre komisches Porträt einer wunderbar kapriziösen Frau. Ein tröstliches, ein inniges Hörbuch, das erzählt, wie man das Leben annehmen und wie man es loslassen kann.

A Brief History of Living Forever: A Novel
In an authoritarian near-future America obsessed with digital consciousness and eternal life, two long-lost siblings risk everything to save their mother from oblivion. When Adéla discovers she has a terminal illness, she leaves behind her native Czech village for a chance at reuniting in America with Tereza, the daughter she gave up at birth, decades earlier. But the country Adéla experienced as a young woman, when she eloped with a filmmaker and starred in his cult sci-fi movie, has changed entirely. In 2030, America is ruled by an authoritarian government increasingly closed off to the rest of the world. Tereza, the star researcher for VITA, a biotech company hellbent on discovering the key to immortality, is overjoyed to meet her mother, with whom she forms an instant, profound connection. But when their time together is cut short by shocking events, Tereza must uncover VITA's alarming activity in the wastelands of what was once Florida, and persuade the Czech brother she's never met to join her in this odds-defying adventure. Narrated from the beyond by Adéla's restless spirit, A Brief History of Living Forever is a high-wire act of storytelling from a writer "booming with vitality and originality," whose "voice is distinct enough to leave tread marks" (New York Times). By turns insightful, moving, and funny, the novel not only confirms Jaroslav Kalfař's boundless powers of invention but also exults in the love between a mother and her daughter, which neither space nor time can sever. "Kalfař is a wise, rapturous, and original writer . . . Eloquent, heart-stunning, and rich in awe-inspiring prose." -San Francisco Chronicle "Relentlessly inventive . . . His writing has the same hyperactivity and fidgety contempt for generic boundaries as that of the young Safran Foer." -The Guardian

‘A book at once bold, magnanimous, heart-breaking and riveting’ HOWARD JACOBSON ‘Beautiful. Affecting. Erudite.’ SUSIE ORBACH TWO SISTERS publishes on the 30th anniversary of Blake Morrison’s ground-breaking book And When Did You Last See Your Father? which forged the way for a new genre of confessional memoir. ‘She’s gone, that’s all, and though there’s no retrieving her I’d like to make sense of who she was and what she became. It wasn’t just that she changed over time. She could change from day to day. Drink made it worse but the origins went deeper. You never knew which you’d get, the kind and loving Gill or her doppelgänger. Two sisters.’ Blake Morrison has lost a sister and a half-sister in recent years. Both are the subjects of this remarkable and heart-breaking memoir, along with a forensic examination of sibling relationships in history and literature. Blake’s sister Gill struggled with alcoholism for a large part of her life, and her shocking death is the starting point for Two Sisters. Blake returns to their childhood to search for the origins of her later difficulties, and in doing so unearths the story behind his half-sister, Josie. As he unravels these narratives, Blake deals movingly in the guilt and shame that will be familiar to every person who has struggled with addiction in their family. He is unflinching in doing so, and the result is a book which provides testament to that common struggle, as well as acknowledging the complex, hidden forces on which all our lives are based. Two Sisters is the extraordinary new memoir from the chronicler of human frailty, Blake Morrison. Poems from Skin and Blister are featured by kind permission of Mariscat Press.
