Carla Funk grew up in a place of logging trucks and God, pellet guns and parables. Every Sunday, she sat with her mother and brother in the same pew at the Mennonite church while her dad stayed home with his cigarettes and a fridge full of whiskey. In these tender, humorous stories, Funk stitches together the wondrous and the mundane: making snow angels and carrying sacks of potatoes, tossing pig bladders like footballs, and vying for the Christmas pageant spotlight.

"Fabio Pasinetti ed io, nel novembre 2008, abbiamo attraversato a piedi, in totale autonomia, il deserto bianco egiziano, per un percorso di 250 chilometri che abbiamo coperto in due settimane. Temperature estreme, dune altissime, infide pietraie non ci hanno sconfitto. Provati, ma con una gioia immensa, abbiamo tagliato il traguardo. Per me la settima impresa nel deserto, per Fabio, che è non vedente, la dimostrazione di potercela fare. Per entrambi l'avverarsi di un sogno condiviso.

Cosa succede quando si risponde al precariato del sistema capitalista trovando lavoro in una delle ultime realtà comuniste rimaste? In gioco ci sono la propria visione del mondo, le relazioni amorose e amicali, la ricerca di stabilità e dignità. Poco più che trentenne e attrezzata con un master in diplomazia, Carla Vitantonio è atterrata per la prima volta all’aeroporto di Pyongyang con un lavoro come insegnante di italiano.

Viele Kinder lasen Enid Blyton oder Beatrix Potter - Carla Valentine war von klein auf verrückt nach Agatha Christie und rätselte mit, wer wohl der Mörder war. Diese frühe Faszination ließ Carla Valentine Forensik studieren, in Leichenhallen und in pathologischen Instituten arbeiten, doch von Agatha Christie ließ sie nie ab. Agatha Christie benutzte den Begriff "Forensik" noch nicht wie wir, doch auch sie beschreibt in ihren Krimis mit ihrer fachkundigen Beobachtung und viel Einfallsreichtum die Wendungen und Verwicklungen der einzelnen Fälle und überführt geschickt jeden einzelnen Mörder.

Carla Funk is a teenager with her hands on the church piano keys and her feet edging toward the flames. Coming of age in a remote valley town - a place rich in Mennonites, loggers, and dutiful wives who submit to their husbands - she knows her destiny is to marry, have babies, and join the church ladies’ sewing circle. At once an affectionate coming-of-age tale and a contemplation on meaning, morality, and destiny, Mennonite Valley Girl is about the places we all long to escape - even if they are the same places that define us.

Carla Del Ponte fordert Gerechtigkeit. Wo wird das Völkerrecht aktuell gebrochen? Und welche Möglichkeiten hätte die UN einzugreifen? Wie und von wem wird Einfluss genommen auf Entscheidungen des Sicherheitsrates? Und macht sich die UN zu einem willfährigen Instrument mächtiger Länder? Carla Del Ponte, viele Jahre Chefanklägerin des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofes, berichtet von ihrer jahrelangen Arbeit als hochrangige UNO-Diplomatin und fordert in ihrem flammenden Plädoyer die Durchsetzung des Völkerrechts, notwendige Reformen der UN sowie eine aktive Rolle der EU.

Fans of Jennette McCurdy’s I’m Glad My Mom Died will love this true story of a damaged primal bond between mother and daughter that, after decades of estrangement, was finally repaired. The conflict began when Carla, as a preteen, stepped in to defend her father against what she perceived as her mother’s harsh treatment—a move that destroyed the warm love she and her mother had for each other and began an “ice age” between them.
