A lost typewriter. A dead dog. The bones of the snake that killed it. Matthew Dunbar, eldest of five brothers, is on a journey to find them all. Only then can he tell the astonishing story of his family, torn apart by tragedy and a long-buried secret. He will learn of a mother who crosses continents for a new home ; of a father searching for love in the keys 'of an old piano ; and, finally, of a brother named Clay, who will make the most challenging journey of them all, and change their lives for ever. An epic and spellbinding quest for redemption and greatness, Bridge of Clay will take you to many places, and in many ways, and will ask two eternal questions : where are you going, and who will you be when you get there ?

Das Buch eignet sich hervorragend für den Unterricht, aufgrund des Umfangs benötigen die Schülerinnen und Schüler aber klare Strukturierungshilfen. Sie erfassen die Handlung zunächst mithilfe eines Lesetagebuchs, ehe der Inhalt vertieft und mit dem historischen Kontext (Ideologie der NSDAP, Verlauf des Zweiten Weltkrieges, Beginn der systematischen Judenverfolgung) verbunden wird. Abschließend rücken einzelne Aspekte wie die Erzählperspektive, die Bedeutung der Bücher für Liesel oder die unterschiedliche Haltung der Mitmenschen in der Zeit des Krieges in den Fokus. Der Roman wurde 2009 mit dem Deutschen Jugendliteraturpreis ausgezeichnet, 2013 mit hochkarätiger internationaler Besetzung verfilmt.

These fantasies and true-to-life fables were created by Oscar Wilde for his own sons. Here is the tale of the Prince who is not as happy as he seems, of the Selfish Giant who learns how to love children, and of the Star-Child who suffers bitter trials when he rejects his parents.

Trying to make sense of the horrors of World War II, Death relates the story of Liesel--a young German girl whose book-stealing and story-telling talents help sustain her family and the Jewish man they are hiding, as well as their neighbors.

"Érase una vez un pueblo donde las noches eran largas y la muerte contaba su propia historia. En el pueblo vivía una niña que quería leer, un hombre que tocaba el acordeón y un judío que escribía cuentos hermosos para escapar del horror de la guerra. Al cabo de un tiempo, la niña se convirtió en una ladrona que robaba libros y regalaba palabras. Con éstas se escribió una historia hermosa y cruel que ahora ya es una novela inolvidable."--Cubierta trasera.

From the bestselling author of "The Book Thief" comes this single-volume collection of Zusak's trilogy about the Wolfe brothers: "The Underdog, Fighting Reuben Wolfe," and "Getting the Girl." Original.

In the final novel of the acclaimed Wolfe Brothers Trilogy, Cameron Wolfe goes looking for love as he attempts to escape his brother’s shadow. Cameron Wolfe is a loser. He knows it. He’s the quiet one, not a soccer star like his brother Steve or a charming fighter with a new girl every week like his brother Rube. Cam would give anything to be near one of those girls, to love her and treat her right. He especially likes Rube’s latest, Octavia, with her brilliant ideas and bright green eyes. But what woman like that would want a loser like him? Maybe Octavia would, Cam discovers. Maybe he has talents and passions just waiting to be discovered. And those maybes are about to change everything: winning, loving, losing, the Wolfe brothers, and Cameron himself.
