<p> Charles Dickens’ work is ranked among the finest writing in the Western canon, and the author specialized in seasonal stories to warm the hearts of his adoring fans during the holiday season. Dickens’s relationship with Christmas extends far beyond the success of „A Christmas Carol”, with five short Christmas books and countless slighter stories on a festive theme. In all of them he uses Christmas as a time to wake up the dozing conscience of the prosperous urban middle classes. This collection of Christmas-themed tales are an entertaining read during the holidays or any time you need a quick pick-me-up. In this volume you will find the following entertaining holiday tales: „The Christmas Tree”, „What Christmas is as We Grow Older”, „The Poor Relation’s Story”, „The Child’s Story”, „The Schoolboy’s Story”, „Nobody’s Story”. Elegantly written, in pure Dickensian style, these short stories evoke the magic of Christmas and its true meaning.</p>

<p> The bonds that tie family together are among the strongest on earth. But what of those between two brothers born as Siamese twins? The „Corsican Brothers” is a richly drawn tale of fraternal love and revenge. Alexandre Dumas weaves the compelling story of Siamese twins who are separated physically but never in spirit. They have a truly remarkable psychic link, and can feel each others pains and triumphs. When one of the brothers is murdered, the other leaves Corsica for Paris to avenge the killing. Dumas, a master storyteller, brings this thrilling tale to life with his fascinating descriptions of Italy and France and his powerful portrayal of the undying love of brother for brother. One of Dumas’ earliest novels, and set in the present (1841), the book falls outside of Dumas’ historical canon.</p>

A Study in Scarlet is a detective novel by British author Arthur Conan Doyle. Written in 1886, the story marks the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who would become two of the most famous characters in popular fiction. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes, an amateur detective, to his friend and chronicler Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his "study in scarlet": "There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it." The story, and its main characters, attracted little public interest when it first appeared. Only 11 complete copies of the magazine in which the story first appeared, Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887, are known to exist now and they have considerable value. Although Conan Doyle wrote 56 short stories featuring Holmes, A Study in Scarlet is one of only four full-length novels in the original canon. The novel was followed by The Sign of the Four, published in 1890. A Study in Scarlet was the first work of detective fiction to incorporate the magnifying glass as an investigative tool. Part I leads with a heading which establishes the role of Dr. Watson as narrator and sets up the narrative stand-point that the work to follow is not fiction, but fact: "Being a Reprint from the Reminiscences of John H. Watson, MD, Late of the Army Medical Department."

With this book, Thomas Menthe provides new insights into the era of value-selling, which has been the Number 1 method in selling complex products and services. Today, customers are expecting more while paying less and the value of your offer is defined by the customer not by the seller. Data is the new oil - the new digital age allows different ways with technology like machine learning to better analyze customer journeys, get insights, predict behaviors and personalize communication to improve customer retention. Digitalization will change the buying behavior much more towards e-commerce and self-service consultation with the support of sales robots. Value can be created from data, which needs to be structured, analyzed and used for the individual customer engagement. Does this mean the end of the sales representative and solution sales? Value is not based solely on product dimensions, much more emotional value created counts during the decision making process. The new era of value-selling explains, how value can be made tangible by the value quotient and ways to generate rational and emotional ROI for customers through story-telling and relationship benefits. Value is always first on the buyer's mind and the new value-selling concept will dramatically improve your business and show how to respond to the customer of tomorrow. Thomas Menthe (MBA) is a sales expert, experienced seller, recognized speaker and author of many publications about customer value, new ways of selling, selling strategy, leadership and coaching. His best selling book Kundennutzen has sold thousands of copies and others are available in their 4th edition.

This teaching and textbook describes the biblical writings, first by content and structure, and then follows their process of coming into being back to the respective reason for their origin. The framework for this is the canon of the Hebrew Bible, which is defined in the introductory section by the Greek and Christian Bible and the so-called Apocrypha. The four parts of the volume are introduced by overview chapters: the Pentateuch as a whole, the Deuteronomistic historical work, the phenomenon of prophecy and Hebrew poetry. The author also appropriately discusses the progress and current state of research. Comprehensive bibliographies characterise the entire work. Anyone wishing to intensively examine the Old Testament and its origins will obtain sound information here.

Sechs Jahre lang sind dreihundert Menschen zum fernen Planeten Centaur geflogen, um dort mit einheimischen Ingenieuren eine gewaltige Energieerzeugungsanlage zu errichten, denn der Planet scheint ohne diese dem langsamen Untergang geweiht. Der Empfang der Gäste von der Erde ist jedoch alles andere als herzlich, und bald gibt es auch Schwierigkeiten bei der gemeinsamen Arbeit. Da wird die Transportkolonne mit dem Orbitalflugzeug von einer Gerölllawine verschlungen, erheben sich schwere Lastfahrzeuge plötzlich in die Luft, tauchen unvermittelt seltsame Bauten auf, die dann spurlos wieder verschwinden. Die Expedition soll deshalb vorzeitig beendet werden. Doch Gernot Wach, ein junger Wissenschaftler, will nicht aufgeben und glaubt einen Weg gefunden zu haben, das Projekt zu retten. Zunächst aber muss er sich mit Josephin versöhnen, die zusammen mit ihm den Schlupfwinkel des geheimnisvollen Lim entdeckt hat. Mit "Energie für Centaur" endet die Trilogie um den Kontakt und die mitunter schwierige Zusammenarbeit der Menschen mit den Centauren. Der Science Fiction-Roman von 1983 in der überarbeiteten Fassung von 2009. LESEPROBE: Gernot trat vorsichtig an den Rand. Unten, ebenfalls im diffusen Licht, sah er acht Komplexe, gut verkleidete Kolosse, und er hatte das Gefühl, es seien Turbinen. Und wie er so stand und in die Stille horchte, war es ihm, als ginge ein kaum spürbares Vibrieren von dem Raum aus. Sollten sie laufen? Wenn, dann wären sie unvorstellbar leise. Und er dachte an den ersten Abend im Canon, an dem das Rumpeln Josephin und ihn nicht hatte einschlafen lassen. Rechts von Gernot führte eine metallene Leiter nach unten. Viel Wartung durften die Maschinen den Betreibern nicht auferlegen, wenn sie so primitiv zugänglich waren. Als Gernot die Hand auf den ersten der Kolosse legte, stellte er fest: Der lief! Gernot umrundete den Komplex. Er fand so etwas wie eine Minischaltzentrale, mit centaurischer Beschriftung natürlich, die ihm so gut wie nichts sagte. Es blieb eine Möglichkeit, jeweils einen Schalter zu betätigen, in den Bau zurückzueilen und festzustellen, welcher Effekt eingetreten sei. Aber eine solche Methode schien Gernot zu langwierig und vielleicht auch nicht wirksam genug. Ein Alarmsystem wurde sicher erst ausgelöst, wenn Schwerwiegenderes geschah, Lebenswichtiges gefährdet wurde.

The story of how the concept of a pantheon, a building honouring great individuals, spread across Revolutionary Europe and interacted with socio-political and cultural changes. Analysing the canon and iconography of each pantheon, Bouwers shows how the commemoration of war and celebration of nationhood gave way to the protection of elite interests.

This book focuses on the pivotal role which space and spatiality assume in plot and narrative discourse of contemporary U.S.-American literary narratives. Embarking from a new, spatialized approach to cultural history and particularly narrative theory that might also prove useful for neighboring philologies, Marcel Thoene hypothesizes that the canon of novels selected represents a dialectic of simultaneous affirmation and subversion of the American space myth. This results in an integrative and emancipatory function of space reflecting the current dynamic toward a more transcultural, diverse and conflictive post-national U.S.-American society.
