Vom Norden kam er damals in die Pathenaue herunter. Nicht weit, aber doch von Sachsen her ein Stück ins Preußische hinauf. Blumen streute dem jungen Fant kein Mensch auf den Weg. Im Gegenteil: eher bang war es ihm ums Herz. Wäre er doch viel lieber auf dem väterlichen Hof am Rande der Dübener Heide geblieben. Und nun, von einem Augenblick zum anderen alles ganz anders. Der Schwester galt das Opfer und er brachte es gern. Helfen wollte er ihr zu einem erfüllten Leben. War er nicht stark genug, um nur auf sich selbst gestellt zu sein? Das pochende Herz in der Brust nein, er durfte es nicht hören. Er, der jetzt mit fast leeren Händen in der Welt stand. Und doch, warum schoss ihm das Blut in die Stirn, wenn ihre dunklen Augen in die Seinen tauchten, ihr Mund so schelmisch lächelte, als könnte sie die Zukunft von seinem Gesicht ablesen? Sie konnte es. Das Glück fest in der Hand dieses aufrechten Kerls. Erfolg, wohin er seinen Fuß setzte. Bald wählten sie ihn im Dorf in der Parthenaue an ihre Spitze. Sie sollten es nicht bereuen. Gerecht sein Urteil, unbestechlich die wasserhellen Augen. Blieb er nun von allem Unheil, aller Bitterkeit verschont, dieser Mann ohne Fehl und Tadel? Auch an ihm zogen die Jahre vorüber und dabei mancher Kummer herauf. In Trübsal versinken, das lag ihm nicht. Ein heller Sonnenstrahl wärmte bald sein ganzes Herz.
Ikke mange i dag vet at Danmark-Norge på 1700-tallet hadde tre koloniøyer i Karibien, der det ble dyrket sukkerrør. Dette arbeidet krevde fysisk styrke utover det man den gangen mente kunne forventes av hvite menn. Danmark-Norge kjøpte slaver fra Vest-Afrika, og disse ble tvangsskipet til de tre koloniøyene. Romanen gir oss et gripende innblikk i vår ukjente fortid. Vi møter den dansk-norske embetsmannen Ferdinand, som får ansettelse hos generalguvernøren på slaveøya St. Croix. Han blir kjent med et samfunn med en liten hvit overklasse som hersker over ti ganger så mange slaver. Ferdinands tro på opplysningstidens idealer om frihet, likhet og brorskap blant mennesker må vike for det systemet han etter hvert blir en del av gjennom de seksten årene han bor på St. Croix. Vi møter også Elisabeth, hans unge, karibiske kone, som aldri har vært utenfor St. Croix, men som forårsaker at det blir etablert en navneforbindelse mellom øya St. Croix i Karibien og nåtidens bydel St. Croix i Fredrikstad.
'A great writer' Ali SmithNewly translated by Michael Hofmann, the touching final novel from the author of Child of All Nations'I don't think I'm that unusual, and I don't think I'm crazy either'Bombed-out Cologne after the war is a strange place to be. The black market in jam and corsets is booming, half-destroyed houses offer opportunities for stealing doors and eggcups, and de-Nazification parties are all the rage. Ferdinand - daydreamer, former prisoner of war, wearer of a curious jerkin - drifts around the city, observing life's absurdities, strenuously avoiding his fiancée and drinking brandy with his fabulous cousin. When he gets a job as a 'cheerful adviser' to those down on their luck, will Ferdinand's fortunes change too?Irmgard Keun's exuberantly funny and touching final novel takes the tiny moments of triumph and defeat in one man's life, and turns them into a moving portrait of the human spirit.

Ferdinand Marcos came to power in the Philippines in a coup détat in 1972 and ruled absolutely, in the name of order, until his dramatic overthrow in February of 1986. This study examines how the authoritarian regime of Marcos remained in power, sometimes in the face of massive opposition, for 14 years. Repressive regimes may seem undesirable, but they are often able to elicit the support of significant sectors of society. Marcos was able to maintain authoritarian rule through the support of bureaucrats, businessmen, and the military—all with the assistance of the United States government. He maintained this network of support through a patron-client system with a centralized bureaucracy as its power and resource base. In order to reward his supporters, he expanded the authority of government. But to minimize the political cost of expansion, he maintained the legal and constitutional forms of democracy. The Philippine experience in despotism is not unique; many Third World countries are under authoritarian rule. This subtle and nuanced analysis, therefore, provides an examination of the levers of power available to absolute rulers, to better understand the political economy of authoritarianism.

This book is about a couple, not a single, dominant ruler. Thus it raises issues of gender, and the dynamics of a marriage over thirty-five years, as well as the practice of monarchical power. The reader sees Ferdinand and Isabella struggle to establish their regime, and then work out an elaborate reform programme in Church and State. It sees them fight a ‘total war’, by fifteenth-century standards, against Muslim Granada, leading to that kingdom’s conquest, and an equally ‘total’ war, through the Inquisition and the Church in general, to convert Spanish Jews and Muslims to Christianity, and to reform and purify the religious and social lives of the established Christians themselves. For readers interested in Early European History.
