Marcel Proust
¥9.00
First published in 1919, Within a Budding Grove was awarded the Prix Goncourt, bringing the author immediate fame.

J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartin’s acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieff’s translation to take into account the new definitive French editions of ? la recherché du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989).
Winnetou 4
Winnetou 4
Karl May
¥9.00
Der Schriftsteller Karl May erh?lt in Radebeul Post aus Amerika und bricht daraufhin mit seiner Frau, dem Herzle, zu seiner letzten Reise dorthin auf. Seinem Blutsbruder Winnetou soll ein Denkmal gesetzt werden. Karl May / Old Shatterhand trifft alte Bekannte, deren Nachwuchs und zahlreiche symbolreiche Handlungstr?ger und kann den Bau des Monumentaldenkmals gerade noch abwenden. Der Band kommt in Gestalt der alten Reiseberichte daher, aber doch ist vieles anders geworden. Die Gewehre hat Old Shatterhand zwar immer noch (oder wieder) dabei, sie werden aber nicht mehr gebraucht und sind auch deshalb fast die ganze Zeit im Gep?ck. Nicht mehr mit der "Schmetterhand" werden die "Feinde" besiegt, sondern h?chstens noch durch List und die Gewalt des Wortes. Ganz im Friedensgedanken seiner Sp?twerke werden am Ende alle "Feindschaften" mit den alten Widersachern des Westens in Freundschaft aufgel?st. Sogar die zum Hauptschurken Santer stellvertretend mit dessen S?hnen.
