Moidl
Moidl is a farmer's daughter from the Hohenhauser Farm in Hintertux in the Zillertal region of Tyrol. Her close bonds with her family and the farm are her lifeblood, and the various blows they are dealt by fate only serve to make these ties stronger. She remains unmarried, labouring day after day from early morning to late at night on the farm. At a market, she comes across Hermann, an orphan of only twelve years of age who is desperately seeking a job in order to survive and is passed around like an unwanted animal. Out of pity and because they can always use an extra pair of hands on the Hohenhauser farm, Moidl takes the boy home with her, where he shows himself to be a hard worker and is soon a great help to the farmer Thomas and to Moidl herself. When Thomas dies, Moidl has to take over the farm at the age of 76. And soon, the question is, who will run the farm in the future? For Moidl and her ancestors, one thing was always clear: the farm had to remain in the family ... In this book, Hermann Egger tells a heart-rending, yet gripping and above all authentic story – that of his own family.
Die Rosenheim-Cops
Freunde der Serie kennen die Hauptfiguren schon sehr gut: Korbinian Hofer ist Kriminalhauptkommissar und seiner Rosenheimer Heimat tief verbunden. Der eher Schweigsame mit der bayerischen Körperfülle lebt mit seiner allein erziehenden Schwester Marie auf einem Bauernhof und hilft ihr, wenn es die Ermittlungen zulassen, bei der Arbeit. Sein Kollege Ulrich Satori ist nicht ganz freiwillig in der Provinz, eigentlich wäre er lieber wieder in München, wo man auch viel mehr Verständnis für seine Vorliebe für moderne Kommunikationsmittel aufbringt. Reibereien zwischen unseren ungleichen Cops sind an der Tagesordnung. Wenn es jedoch um die Aufklärung von Verbrechen geht, lösen die zwei auch die kniffligsten Fälle erfolgreich.

Many Worlds, One Life
In this engaging, insightful, and inspiring narrative, Hermann Simon, the world-renowned management thinker, consultant, pricing expert, entrepreneur, and leading authority on the “hidden champions” business model, highlights the influences on his remarkable journey from humble origins on a German farm to advising and sharing the stage with global leaders in industry, academia, and politics. Born in 1947 in the rural Eifel region of Western Germany, Simon’s coming of age parallels that of a country struggling to come to terms with the legacy of World War II and reinvent itself as a new world power. His colorful anecdotes of a youth spent in an agricultural community that in many ways o...
'Heimat'
The concept of Heimat with its seemingly pre- or anti-modern connotations of rootedness in a place of origin is central to a critical understanding of German history and culture. Over the course of the past fifteen years, scholars across a range of disciplines have found new ways to examine the changing notions of Heimat – its multifaceted cultural, literary, and visual history, its gendered connotations, and its national and ideological appropriations. This anthology is the first to examine cultural manifestations of Heimat by giving special consideration to issues of memory and space. The contributions to this volume challenge static notions of place often associated with Heimat. Instead...

Weihnachtsfieber
Verwehte Glockenschläge wirbeln im Schneesturm vom Tal herauf. Die Petroleumlampe erhellt diffus den gemütlichen Hüttenraum. Traditionsbewusst singt der Detlef: "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen." Doch die Emma Pauline meint nur: "Da wirst du zu tun haben, bis es wieder eingefangen ist." Der Martl hört bereits in jüngsten Jahren den Ruf der Wildnis und zieht sich am Christbaum hoch. Später wird er Jodlerkönig und spielt oben bei den Lappen auf der Mundharmonika den Watschentanz. Mitten in der abendländischen Tradition geht der Schnee aus. "Wenn schon keine Schneeflocken, dann wenigstens Haferflocken", meint der Martl und isst sein Müsli. Nach dem Fernkurs für Graphologie sucht er sein Mikrofon. Es liegt aber im Maßkrug. Und oben am Tatzelwurm wird der fast versteinerte bayerische Raubsaurier entdeckt. Erneut versüßt Wolfgang Schierlitz mit skurrilen und lustigen Geschichten die Adventszeit.
Schubert's Vienna
The Vienna in which Franz Schubert lived for the thirty-one years of his life was not just a city of music, dance, and coffeehouses - a centre of important achievements in the arts. It was also the capital of an empire that was constantly at war in the composer's youth and that became a police state during his maturity.
Albrecht Durer
