Das Inzest-Tagebuch (3608961887)

"In den Märchen über Inzest zwischen Vater und Tochter - 'Das Mädchen ohne Hände', 'Allerleirauh', in der Originalversion von 'Aschenputtel' und den Geschichten der Heiligen Dymphna, der Patronin aller Inzest-Opfer - verhalten sich die Töchter immer genauso, wie man es von ihnen erwarten würde: Sie sind entsetzt über die sexuellen Annäherungen ihrer Väter. Sie tun alles, was in ihrer Macht steht, um zu entkommen. Ich nicht. Ein Kleinkind kann nicht entkommen. Und später, als ich es konnte, war es zu spät." Eine junge Frau wird mehr als zwanzig Jahre lang von ihrem Vater sexuell missbraucht. Tiefsitzende Ängste prägen ihr Sein, ihr Weltbild, ihr Verständnis von Familie. Unter dem Deckmantel einer intakten Familie wächst das Kleinkind zum Mädchen und schließlich zur Frau heran. Doch selbst im Erwachsenenalter lässt sie sich auf immer wieder neue Spielformen der Abhängigkeit, der Unterwerfung und der Gewalt ein. In diesem Memoir ruft die Erzählerin i...

WINNER OF THE EDGAR AWARD, THE MACAVITY AWARD, THE ANTHONY AWARD, AND THE BARRY AWARD FOR BEST PAPERBACK ORIGINAL NOMINATED FOR THE 2015 LA TIMES BOOK PRIZE With the compelling narrative tension and psychological complexity of the works of Laura Lippman, Dennis Lehane, Kate Atkinson, and Michael Connelly, Edgar Award-nominee Lou Berney's The Long and Faraway Gone is a smart, fiercely compassionate crime story that explores the mysteries of memory and the impact of violence on survivors-and the lengths they will go to find the painful truth of the events that scarred their lives.

Reflections on the Revolution in France (9781420958836)

Edmund Burke's "Reflections on the Revolution in France" is considered by many to be a masterpiece of political analysis and a compelling rationale against the French Revolution. Originally written as a letter in response to a young Parisian and later expanded upon and published in book format in January 1790, the work has greatly influenced conservative and classic liberal intellectuals and stands as a powerful argument against violent revolutions, lawlessness, and unrest. Prior to 1790, Burke was a well-known member of the British House of Commons and a vocal supporter of the American Revolution. His condemnation of the French Revolution shocked many of his peers and supporters. Burke viewed the French Revolution as a violent and chaotic war without any guiding ideology or respect for the rule of law and feared it would lead to a situation that was both dangerous and corrupt. Many of Burke's predictions came true as the Revolution devolved into bloodshed and anarch...

Rap and Religion (9781499680928)

What exactly does it mean when rappers wear a diamond-encrusted "Jesus" around their necks? Why do rappers acknowledge God during award shows and frequently include prayers in their albums?

Utley, PhD, references selected rap lyrics and videos that span three decades of mainstream hip hop culture in America, representing the East Coast, the West Coast, and the South in order to account for how and why rappers talk about God.

Big Dreams : Essays on Recreating a Life (9781647421861)

Growing up in the '50s in what was then the small town of Napa, California, Donna Brazzi had loving parents, a backyard the size of a football field with a swing and a big wooden picnic table perfect for summer barbecues, a cocker spaniel named Patty, and a cat named Stinky-everything a kid could want. She was a happy child. But as she grew older and started to reach for more than a young woman from a working-class, Swiss-Italian family was expected to want-a university education and a career in the larger world beyond her hometown-she began to see that if she was going to realize her big dreams, she was going to have to fight for them.
