Foreign Rights Catalogue


Autumn 2015
Dear Friends and Colleagues,

we are happy to introduce you to promising new titles and concepts as well as to
announce the continuation of our successful series. With PULL OUT MY PAGES (p. 3)
we invite Very Young Readers to discover colourfully illustrated animals and vehicles
in their full – or even expanded – extent.
AT THE END OF THE WORLD I MET NOAH (p. 61) takes Young Adults on a
sensitive journey through first love. An intuitive decision, a false identity, a mysterious
mansion and the irrepressible desire to be free summed up in a touching coming-of-
age story. A novel of poetic beauty with a thrilling turn you surely wouldn’t expect.
Digitalization and big data: abstract terms for even more abstract opportunities.
In LAYERS (p. 64), best-selling author Ursula Poznanski lets homeless Dorian run
from his threatening past and those who mastered the possibilities of manipulating
reality through technology. The book poses the intriguing question: Does the end
really justify the means?
We enjoyed jumping through beloved literary classics in Mechthild Gläser’s
THE BOOK JUMPERS (p. 58) with many of you in Spring and wish you a pleasant
journey through our new programme for Fall 2015!

The Leselöwen concept aims to answer these questions and to make reading a fun

Ham has discovered a terrible thing:

HIGHLIGHT

The Truth
The ‘glass human being’ has long
been a reality and is very easy to
manipulate
A highly topical theme packed into
an extraordinarily exciting thriller:
surveillance technology with the
power to alter reality
Unpredictable plot twists,
a gripping atmosphere and a
compelling writing style: Ursula
Poznanski once again takes up
the themes of manipulation and
illusion in a fascinating way

A Question to Ursula Poznanski


Raoul Bornheim, a character in your new book LAYERS, holds the radical
moral concept that it is legit to harm individuals for the benefit of society.
Where does this idea descend from?
The basic idea that public welfare precedes individual good can be traced
back to Aristotle. Now, this idea is interpreted by Bornheim in a way that
clearly overstates the case. All the more as only he personally defines
public welfare in a highly arbitrary way.
