El mal de la feina d?en Montalbano és que de vegades s?acaba sabent la veritat. I això no sempre és agradable. Per exemple, quan resulta que un irreprotxable comptable vidu de Vigata ocultava una doble vida al fons d?un calaix. Els fi lls de l?assassinat, assisteixen consternats a la transformació pública del seu pare, però no són els únics: el comissari també s?ha d?empassar, incrèdul, tota la veritat sobre un sensesostre que se li ha refugiat al porxo de Marinella, fugint de la pluja. Com tantes altres vegades, el somni amb què es desencadenen les aventures d?en Montalbano és premonitori, i aquesta vegada fi ns i tot anticipa la clàssica trucada d?en Catarella per comunicar la ?mort d?un mort?.Amb la col.laboració de la Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament de Cultura.

The Torah pennants are an expression of individual creativity and personal belief as well as documentation of a deep connection to the community. A great feature of the Göttingen collection is the ability to assign almost all Torah pennants to specific people and families. With their expressive design, the 28 Torah pennants in the collection of the Göttingen Municipal Museum act as important evidence of Jewish culture in Germany far beyond the region. This inventory catalog has deliberately decided against purely scientific documentation of the collection. The focus is on conveying the information contained in the picture program on Jewish traditions and beliefs and showing the conditions of Jewish life over three centuries in a Christian society. In addition to this outlined context in which this collection must be viewed, the peculiarity and beauty of each individual pennant are equally important. The embroidery and paintings impressively convey not only the joy of the newborn child, but also the parental wishes and hopes for a happy life in the tradition of the community.

In welchem Verhältnis stehen Vertrauen und Glaube? Diese Frage beschäftigt die Theologie seit Menschengedenken. Unter Berücksichtigung von Erik Eriksons Entwicklungspsychologie hat Wolfhart Pannenberg einen neuen Akzent gesetzt und die These formuliert, dass religiöser Glaube in frühkindlichem Grundvertrauen ( Basic Trust) begründet sei.Mit diesem Gedanken setzt sich Andrea Lassak in ihrer Studie kritisch auseinander. Sie lotet die Tragweite dieser Verhältnisbestimmung aus und gibt eine alternative Antwort in der Tradition hermeneutischer Theologie. Dabei sondiert sie das schillernde Konzept des Grundvertrauens ebenso wie sie die Bedeutungsspektren christlichen Gottvertrauens aufzeigt.

In Natural History, Andrea Barrett completes the beautiful arc of intertwined lives of a family of scientists, teachers, and innovators that she has been weaving through multiple books since her National Book Award–winning collection, Ship Fever. The six exquisite stories in Natural History are set largely in a small community in central New York state and portray some of her most beloved characters, spanning the decades between the Civil War to the present day. In “Henrietta and Her Moths,” a woman tends to an insect nursery as her sister’s life follows a different path. In “Open House,” a young man grapples with a choice between a thrilling life spent discovering fossils and a desire to remain close to home. And in the magnificent title novella, “Natural History,” Barrett deepens the connection between her characters, bringing us through to the present day and providing an unforgettable capstone. Told with Barrett’s characteristic elegance, passion for science, and wonderful eye for the natural world, the psychologically astute and moving stories gathered in this collection evoke the ways women’s lives and expectations—in families, in work, and in love—have shifted across a century and more. Building upon one another, these tales brilliantly culminate to reveal how the smallest events of the past can have large reverberations across the generations, and how potent, wondrous, and strange the relationship between history and memory can be.

In the fall of 1916, America prepares for war—but in the town of Tamarack Lake, the focus is on the sick. Wealthy tubercular patients live in private cure cottages; charity patients, mainly immigrants, fill the large public sanatorium. From within their isolated community, they grapple with some of the most thrilling scientific discoveries of their time—X-ray technology, chemical and biological weapons, changing theories of atomic structure—and their limitations. Prisoners of routine, they take solace in gossip, rumor, and, sometimes, secret attachments. When the well-meaning efforts of one enterprising patient lead instead to a tragic accident and a terrible betrayal, the war comes home, bringing with it a surge of anti-immigrant prejudice. With The Air We Breathe, Andrea Barrett has crafted a "majestic, breathtaking, [and] thrilling" (San Diego Union-Tribune) novel that brilliantly illuminates the inescapable heartbreak of war.
