As World War I draws to a close in 1918, German citizens are starving and suffering under a repressive regime. Sixteen-year-old Moritz is torn. His father died in the war and his older brother still risks his life in the trenches, but his mother does not support the patriotic cause and attends subversive socialist meetings. While his mother participates in the revolution to sweep away the monarc! hy, Moritz falls in love with a Jewish girl who also is a socialist. When Moritz’s brother returns home a bitter, maimed war veteran, ready to blame Germany’s defeat on everything but the old order, Moritz must choose between his allegiance to his dangerously radicalized brother and those who usher in the new democracy.
Llesho was only seven years old when the Harn invaded Thebin, slaying his father and selling the boy into slavery.
On Pearl Island, he was trained as a diver-until a vision changed his life completely. The spirit of his long-dead teacher revealed the truth about Llesho's royal family-his brothers were alive, but enslaved, living in distant lands.
Now, to free his brothers-and himself-Llesho must become a gladiator.
He must go face to face with sorcerers.
And gods.
And more.
A renowned German novelist's memoir of his brother, who joined the SS and was killed at the Russian front.
Uwe Timm was only two years old when in 1942 his older brother, Karl Heinz, announced to his family he had volunteered for service with an elite squadron of the German army, the SS Totenkopf Division, also known as Death's Heads. Little more than a year later Karl Heinz was injured in battle at the Russian front, ! his legs amputated, and a few weeks after that he died in a military hospital. To their father, Karl Heinz's death only served to immortalize him as the courageous one, the obedient one, the one who upheld the family honor. His childhood was marked by the mythology of his brother's lost life; his absence-the hole he left in the family-just as palpable as if he were still alive. His mother's sadness and his father's rage over the loss of Karl Heinz ultimately defined Uwe's relationship with his parents. But while they eulogized the boy, Uwe wondered: who really had his brother been?
The life and death of his older brother has haunted Uwe Timm for more than sixty years. His parents' silence was one of the most painful aspects of his family history. Not even after the war ended, and details of unspeakable horrors emerged, did his parents ever acknowledge Germany's guilt and Karl Heinz's role in it. They simply said: We didn't know. After the deaths of his parents an! d older sister Timm set out in search of answers. Using milita! ry repor ts, letters, family photos and cryptic entries from a diary his brother kept during the war, he began to piece together the picture, discovering his brother's story is not just that of one man, but the tragedy of an entire generation. In the Shadow of My Brother is a meditation on German history and guilt, one that is both nuanced and measured.

In the late autumn of 1380, Brother Athelstan and his parish council are busy preparing for the annual Christmas mystery play when two young whores are found slain at a Southwark tavern. Their deaths are only the beginning of a series of gruesome killings which occur around the parish of St. Erconwald’s. A whole host of mysterious characters have assembled to this pageant of murder, among them the Misericord, master thief and con man; the Judas man, a bounty hunter who tracks down outlaws; and the Knights of the Golden Falcon, who assemble to celebrate their annual reunion. Broth! er Athelstan and Sir John Cranston must resolve not only the various grizzly deaths but also their source: the Great Robbery of the Lombard treasure which occurred in Southwark some 20 years earlier.
