Während seiner Bergtouren auf den Hausberg, entstanden diese nachdenklichen, heiteren Kurzgedichte.Sie sind auch in den Gipfelbüchern unter dem Pseudonym "woody" eingetragen.Begleitend zu dieser archaischen Berglyrik, schuf der Autor nachträglich als - quasi Bild zum Text - sogenannte "Aus dem Bauch heraus -5 Minuten - Spontanskizzen" in Tusche-Filzstift-Technik.Dieses herzerfrischende, in seiner Besonderheit auffallende, mit seinen in der Tiefe philosophisch, ja geradezu gesellschaftskritischversteckten Kernbotschaften versehene Werk, sollte in keinem Rucksack oder keiner Outdoor-Seitentasche fehlen.Wie der Autor im Buch schreibt "...der kleinste Berg hat Seele..." , so wird dieses echte Taschenbuch auch manchem Bergverbundenen humorvoll .."aus der Seele sprechen ...!"

Was haben eine Tankstelle, ein Fahrrad und der Nordstern gemeinsam? In diesem Buch sind sie Schlüssel, die Türen zu einer tieferen Wahrheit öffnen - zu Gottes Liebe. Diese Liebe ist wie ein großer Schatz. Jede Seite lädt dazu ein, diesen Schatz zu entdecken. Die 52 Andachten greifen alltägliche Situationen auf, die Kinder kennen, und verbinden sie mit biblischen Wahrheiten. Ob es um Freundschaft geht, um Mut oder um das Gefühl, manchmal nicht weiterzuwissen - dieses Buch lädt Familien ein, gemeinsam zu staunen und darüber zu reden. Ideal für Kinder ab 9 Jahren.Übrigens: Die Andachtsbücher von Carsten H. Pedersen avancierten in Dänemark zu Bestsellern und wurden bereits ins Schwedische und Norwegische übersetzt.

"Come i cuori degli angeli" è una raccolta di storie brevi, ognuna delle quali affronta il tema dell'amore. Protagonista di ogni racconto una coppia della saga "Shadowhunters", della cui relazione Cassandra Clare ci mostra momenti inediti o spiragli su ciò che riserverà il futuro. Nel mondo degli Shadowhunter l'amore ha molte sfaccettature - può essere divertente, serio, oscuro, spensierato - e in questo volume l'autrice le esplora tutte. Nota al testo. Questo libro è la traduzione di "Better in Black", volume esclusivo autopubblicato dall'autrice all'interno del progetto Kickstarter - Seasons of Shadowhunters, ma presenta alcune variazioni. In aggiunta ai dieci racconti originari, si è deciso di inserirne un altro, "Una metamorfosi marina", tratto da "Careful of Books". Inoltre, scelta condivisa con l'autrice, l'ordine dei racconti è stato riorganizzato in modo da essere perfettamente coerente con la timeline dei romanzi della saga usciti sinora. Infine, la copertina è stata realizzata ad hoc per la nostra edizione da Jenny Zemanek. Oltre a "Come i cuori degli angeli", fanno parte di questo progetto "I segreti di Blackthorn Hall" e la nuova edizione di "Storia di illustri Shadowhunters e abitanti del mondo dei Nascosti". Ogni volume è autoconclusivo. Non c'è un ordine ufficiale di lettura, ma, per evitare spoiler, consigliamo di leggere, prima di questo, "I segreti di Blackthorn Hall".

What if you couldn't distinguish your internal demons from reality? Charlie, a 21-year-old autistic artist, lives crushed between his mother Kimberly's expectations and a secret relationship with Frédéric, the only one who seems to understand him. But when the intrusive thoughts that have always haunted him begin to take physical form, Charlie can no longer distinguish what is real. Charlie is on the verge of collapse-but no one sees it. In the midst of the silent chaos of his routine, between unheard screams and solitary dances in his room, he tries to maintain some form of control while everything around him falls apart. The relationship with his mother is a minefield of judgments and suffocating silences. His boyfriend, who was once his only point of light, now seems too distant. Trapped between the desire to be accepted and the unbearable weight of being different, Charlie sinks into intrusive thoughts, distorted memories, and broken realities. The line between what is internal and what is external becomes blurred, and he no longer knows if he is trying to escape, fight, or simply survive. This tale is a raw and intimate immersion into the mind of a neurodivergent young man grappling with the emotional wreckage of rejection, loneliness, and identity. A narrative as fragmented as his own consciousness, where nothing is certain, and everything-even love-can be a trigger.
