La Ferme des animaux s'agit d'un apologue écrit sous la forme d'une fable animalière, mais également d'une dystopie. Dans ce roman, George Orwell propose une satire de la Révolution russe et une critique du régime soviétique, en particulier du stalinisme, et au-delà, des régimes autoritaires et du totalitarisme.
Berlin, 1942.
For four years, the men in field grey have helped themselves to country after country across Western Europe. For Werner Nehmann, a journalist at the Promi - the Ministry of Propaganda - this dizzying series of victories has felt like a party without end. But now the Reich's attention has turned towards the East, and as winter sets in, the mood is turning. Werner's boss, Joseph Goebbels, can sense it. A small man with a powerful voice and coal-black eyes, Goebbels has a deep understanding the dark arts of manipulation. His words, his newsreels, have shaken Germany awake, propelling it towards its greater destiny and he won't let - he can't let - morale falter now. But the Minister of Propaganda is uneasy and in his discomfort has pulled Werner into his close confidence. And here, amid the power struggle between the Nazi Chieftains, Werner will make his mistake and begin his descent into the hell of Stalingrad...

As the war between the French and the British rages, Duncan McCallum finds himself falsely accused of a heinous crime against a settlement of Native Americans in this “impressive” thriller. — Publishers Weekly, starred review
Despite what seems like the unending war between French and British, Scottish exile Duncan McCallum has begun to settle into a new life on the fringes of colonial America, traveling the woodlands with his companion Conawago, even joining the old Indian on his quest to find the last surviving members of his tribe. But the joy they feel on reaching the little settlement of Christian Indians is shattered when they find its residents ritually murdered. As terrible as the deaths may be, Conawago perceives something even darker and more alarming: he is convinced they are a sign of a terrible crisis in the spirit world which he must resolve.
Trying to make sense of the murders, Duncan is accused by the British army of the crime. Escaping prison to follow the trail of evidence, he finds himself hounded by vengeful soldiers and stalked by Scottish rebels who are mysteriously trying to manipulate the war to their advantage. As he pieces together the puzzle of violence and deception he gradually realizes that it may not only be the lives of Duncan and his friends that hang in the balance, but the very survival of the native tribes. When he finally discovers the terrible truth, Duncan is forced to make a fateful choice between his beloved Highland clans and the woodland natives who have embraced and protected him.

Der amerikanische Rechtsstaat ist nach vier Jahren Donald Trump am Abgrund.
Jetzt zeigt der Ex-FBI-Direktor James Comey, wie eine gerechte Justiz funktionieren muss. Egal, ob der Gegner die Mafia, Drogendealer oder die Führungszirkel im Staatsapparat sind: Nur die Wahrheit kann die USA noch retten. Beeindruckende Fälle aus der Laufbahn des großen Juristen und Kriminalisten James Comey New York City, Langley und Washington D.C. - der Staatsanwalt und FBI-Direktor auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit James Comey ist der Trump-Kritiker #1! Die Rechtsstaatlichkeit ist das Fundament der Demokratie, sie schützt ihre Bürger. Doch nach vier Jahren Trump hat dieses Fundament tiefe Risse - der Rechtsstaat steht auf dem Spiel. James Comey, Ex-Direktor des FBI und einer der bekanntesten Kritiker des US-Präsidenten Donald Trump, ist überzeugt: Nur der unbedingte Wille zur Wahrheit und Transparenz kann das Land nach den Trump-Jahren noch retten. So zeigt James Comey anhand seiner spektakulärsten Fälle als Staatsanwalt und FBI-Chef ganz konkret, wie Ermittlungsbehörden, Strafverteidiger, Richter und Jurys in den USA gemeinsam für Gerechtigkeit kämpfen. Zugleich legt er offen, wie die Trump-Administration dieses Justiz-System angreift und die Wahrheit bekämpft - mit undurchsichtigen Manövern, alternativen Fakten und Hinterzimmer-Deals. Comeys Buch ist nicht nur eine mitreißende Darstellung von Kriminalfällen, sondern ein leidenschaftlicher Appell gegen die Rechtsbeugung und die Unterwanderung der Justiz: das Vertrauen in das Recht muss nach Trump wieder zum Fixstern allen staatlichen Handelns werden.
'Dieses Buch ist der Versuch, uns daran zu erinnern, wie unsere Justiz funktionieren sollte und wie sich die führenden Köpfe verhalten müssen.' - James Comey
