She has no idea of the responsibility that comes with her magical abilities and that will rest on her shoulders in a few decades.

And so he and Nimrond set out with a delegation to Ethaborn to support King Amikron and solve the mystery.It is one of their last adventures, for the time of kings is coming to an end.

King Gathame and some of his vassals have to watch their backs. They have been thrown out of Gydland and urgently need a new hideout. The royal house of Varngond has filed a complaint against him with the High Council. He must disappear immediately. Gathame offers his new host, the emperor of the lizards, a special treat. He offers them Varngond and its inhabitants in return for the shelter. The emperor gladly accepts this gift, and so the order is given to raid and take possession of Pelegorn. "We have decided to abandon Varngond and flee to an outlying world," King Tharandil orders.Whether they will ever return to Varngond, their home, only the gods know.

The light at the end of the tunnel should come as little surprise after ones own death. But what comes after that? An agnostic with a sense of irreverence and humor finds himself in the afterlife after his passing face to face with the "Creator", who by no means wants to be called "God". The latter agrees perhaps out of boredom? to give a tour of the various afterlife options before the decision on the souls ultimate fate is made.

While the lyrical I praises the splendor of nature with its beautiful flowers, the interplay of the trees with bees, the power of fire and the breathtaking change of the seasons, it simultaneously exposes the destructive power of humanity. Vices such as greed, envy, anger and hatred are not only dangerous for fellow human beings, but also for nature. We pollute the water, pollute the air, disregard the rain and torture animals and plants, but the lyrical I always sees a glimmer of hope. God gives hope, and nature gives us a new beginning every year and every morning. It shines even in the greatest darkness. In harmony with nature, however, the lyrical I also finds himself and meaning in his life.

When youre young, you usually have other things on your mind. But interest in stories is awakening again.

His experiences, written in short stories, are not only of interest to his descendants, but to anyone who wants to read stories about everyday life in the past.

My friend has very special abilities: When she tells me stories, she asks me to shake her hands and close my eyes - and then I experience everything for myself. This is how she "told" me the stories of the Merry Cloverleaf, about four witch students who are making their first clumsy attempts at magic and are supposed to grow up to become real witches despite all the mishaps and silliness. Each of the four dreams of a very special place for her future life as a witch, which she only has to discover. And that is an adventure in itself.

The first few months on board a ship are over. In addition to hard work and the constant battle against seasickness, the ships boy has several "amorous" adventures. By a lucky coincidence, Willi has to temporarily take over as cook and spends more time in the galley than on deck, which spares him a lot of hard work, much to the displeasure of his colleagues. Willis story takes us across the "seven seas", from the docks in Liverpool to Miami, from Hamburgs "red light district" to New Orleans. Along the way, we also gain interesting insights into the development of cargo shipping.

The turn of the 19th to the 20th century. The European balance of power begins to falter. Two very different boys grow up during this time: David Rosendahl, the son of one of Berlins most modern meat manufacturers; Martin, a foundling raised by monks and later suffering under the tyranny of his adoptive father Franz Kreidler. They have no idea that their paths and destinies will cross on the battlefield of the First World War. But this cataclysm is only the prelude to the social and political developments that increasingly lead to the next catastrophe from the 1920s onwards.

Is physics being neglected too much in the search for renewable energies? A graduate engineer makes his own considerations and comes to an astonishing conclusion: the use of wind energy causes temperatures to rise unnecessarily and is the reason for both a lack of water and heavy rainfall! Manfred Brugger takes a skeptical look at current developments in energy policy in Germany and sees an all-encompassing "climatism". Is CO2 in the atmosphere really a problem? Can the earth still be saved, and if so, how? Manfred Brugger challenges the mainstream with his alternative approaches and comprehensible calculations on a scientific basis.

A story could not begin more ingloriously. Young Willi Lenz is bored at school and tries to cover up his lack of preparation with a fever. When he is caught stealing, he is expelled from school. There are also problems in the family because the father is building a house on his own with the help of his sons labor. While his friends spend the weekend at the disco, Willi is "allowed" to work on the building site. Eventually, the idea of attending a ships boys school matures in him. The theoretical training is followed by two years of practical training on the ship MS "Fryga". This is followed by exciting adventures on deck, but also many professional insights into seafaring and the so-called "economic miracle era".

Esta nueva obra, tan felizmente deslizada en un tipeo sin parar, es el nacimiento de una forma que me va afianzando en ese tildar de la escritura. Seguir narrando el cuento de la vida.Es volcar nuevos recuerdos, transmitiendolos en relatos y prosas. Es como querer empezar a plasmar y recordar a aquel famoso de atras de nuestra cordillera, haciendome eco de sus palabras, sus confesiones de vida. Eso me produjo desde el inicio esa sensacion que nos da el arte de escribir y la lectura, que es el alma de esas letras unidas.En este texto siempre existen las aperturas de experiencias de vidas vividas que pueden ser compartidas con todos aquellos que me alcancen a leer. Confieso que yo tambien he vivido y eso me da placer expresarlo en la genesis de mi cuento de vida.Aquellos años que pasaron con experiencias cimentadas no podran ser olvidados. Es placentero desnudarse en los escritos, dandole un vuelo diferente en sus composiciones que tienen la razon de ser de cualquier humano. Pueden ser tristes, divertidas, realistas, pero no dejan de ser cimientos forjados por distintas experiencias de vida. Solo espero que sea placentera y bien sentida esta genesis cimentada con su levitacion de letras que no se cansan de formar estrofas para darle un intenso contenido narrativo. Es como que se iniciaran nuevas vivencias vividas.Sepan disfrutar de estas letras cimentadas que ya tienen su vuelo propio, con ganas de seguir narrando las que siguen siendo experiencias bellas y sus ganas de vivirla.
