Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First Edition. A bright, unread copy. Eduard, a German scientist and child of postwar Berlin, has long been settled in California with his American wife, Jenny, and their three children when he discovers that he has inherited an apartment building in the former East Berlin. Lured by the property and a promising new job offer, he returns to his native city. But post-Communist Berlin is a surreal and baffling landscape to Eduard, who struggles to orient himself in a city where he feels uncannily at home and yet estranged. He finds his property occupied by a hostile troupe of squatters. On top of this, his marital relations have dipped toward freezing as his wife resists Eduard's efforts at repatriation. Convinced that Jenny's distaste for Berlin is a rejection of Eduard himself, the neurotic hero launches a series of quixotic stunts in a mad scheme to win back his wife and at last come to terms with his home.…

All she asks is a sea view, fine wine (and plenty of it), and her family close around. When death instead takes her handsome young friend Valentino, and under mysterious circumstances at that, Poldi will not take it lying down. Perhaps it's in her blood (her father was a detective chief inspector); perhaps it's a diverting excuse to spend more time with men in uniform, or perhaps it's just the promise she makes to Valentino while holding his poor dead hand. But Auntie Poldi's hunting instincts have never felt more alive. Justice must be served, if it's the last thing she does. Mario Giordano, a Bavarian of Sicilian parentage who writes in German, has created a delightful detective and a lively, humorous portrait of Sicilian society and gastronomy. The author's debut novel published in English. Jacket by Alice Marwick (illustratore).…

He is the 'perfect waiter', a model of order in every way, and his private life seems to embody the qualities he brings to his job. But inwardly this polite and dignified man is in the grip of a violent passion, a passion aroused many years before in the late 1930s when he fell in love with a young waiter, Jakob. For Jakob the affair was just a fling, a fleeting step on the way to better things. One day, when Erneste finds Jakob in flagrante with a great German writer, Julius Klinger, it was all over. Jakob fled Nazi-dominated Europe for a new life in America with Klinger, and Erneste's heart was broken. He spends the next thirty years becoming what had previously only been a role - the 'perfect waiter'. The novel opens decades later, when Erneste receives a letter from America from Jakob who asking him to make an appeal to Klinger for money. Klinger, who had returned to Europe after the war, refuses to help, and in a short time Erneste receives dramatic news of Jakob which threatens his memories of the great love of his youth. Moving skillfully between two time periods, this elegantly written, cinematic novel is rich in tension and poignancy.…
