In Karlas Familie wissen alle, wie es sich anfühlt, nicht dazuzugehören. Karla erlebt es als Kind in Bremen-Nord. Ihr Vater Avi in einer Klosterschule in Jerusalem.

This is the story of a village, a small Italian village, and its inhabitants. A village where life revolves around simple, traditional things: family, work, the bar, and the church. A village where nothing extraordinary ever seems to happen, and yet (or perhaps precisely because of this?) the rumor mill is constantly churning. Nearly all the stories whispered about are baseless, made up, serving only to spice up daily life and bring a touch of color to an otherwise dreary existence. This is true for most stories. Only occasionally, in a single village, something truly extraordinary happens.

In the heart of Paris, where art and ambition intertwine, the boundaries between genius and madness blur. A tale of creation, obsession, and the quest for perfection, this story dances on the edge of brilliance. The artist, driven by an insatiable desire to capture the unattainable, confronts the fragility of his own vision. As the canvas comes to life, so too does a world where nothing is as it seems, and the cost of true artistry might just be too high. Balzac's story whispers of the fine line between genius and obsession, where the artist's soul is as fragile as the masterpiece he seeks.

In Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, we are not talking about revolutionary personalities, a secret struggle for some ideas Fyodor Dostoyevsky tells the story of a man who is "too conscious." The man, whose name we never learn is so aware of his own thoughts and feelings as to cause him to be indecisive and overly self-critical. Add in his belief that societal expectations are shaping his actions. Notes From Underground is one of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's most well renowned novels. It is thought to be one of the first existentialist Russian works.

Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels is a timeless exploration of the human spirit seen through the eyes of an adventurous traveler. In this work, Swift offers a playful yet clear reflection on society without detailing every fact. Instead, he invites readers to uncover hidden lessons through a series of curious encounters and unexpected adventures. The narrative gently nudges us to question the ways we live and the institutions that shape our lives, all while delighting us with visions of strange lands and unusual peoples.

Eddie's brother back in Jersey has brain cancer, and no insurance. In the wisdom imparted by smoking some righteous bud, the bungling pair concoct a plan to travel across the nation from L.A. to Atlantic City, robbing stores along the way to get the cash for Jimmy's operation. All they have to do is avoid the law and get the money to Atlantic City and Eddie's Uncle Vinnie.

Eigentlich sollte der Filter meiner Maske noch ein paar Minuten halten. Eigentlich. Das Institut. Leuchtfeuer der Menschheit. Ein gewaltiger Forschungskomplex am Ende der Welt. Hier sollte unsere Spezies die Grenzen ihres Daseins überwinden. Hier sollten wir neue Menschen werden. Doch es kam alles anders. Nun steht das Institut für dutzende unterirdische Ebenen voller Giftgas, unerklärlicher Anomalien und missgestalteter Kreaturen. Es ist die Keimzelle unseres Untergangs.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, victory in the American Revolution empowered its founding fathers to consider a glorious ‘revolutionary idea’: a democracy of inclusiveness and diversity for all. Yet, America’s revolution never meant to include the enslaved, who lived in small, dark squares of windowless slave houses. At Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s Constitutional Convention of 1787, compromises perpetuated America’s ‘slave society’ based on free labour, benefiting its citizenry to the detriment of America’s slave row.
