Welcome
to our foreign rights catalogue
Autumn 2011
Since its publication in January 2010 EREBOS by U. Poznanski
has become a huge success on both national and international level.
Over 100.000 sold copies within 18 months here in Germany and the
fact that we sold translation rights into over 20 languages speak for
themselves. The virtuosity with which the author describes the manipulative aspect of the game and the way the borders between reality
and virtual reality dissolve is unique.
With this programme we have the great pleasure to introduce you to
U. Poznanski’s new title SAECULUM. Just as intriguing as her first
book; the author skilfully describes the feelings and behaviour of young
people in extreme circumstances. Beyond the thrilling story there also is
a layer that touches on the essential relationship between father and son.
Curious? Please contact us for a sample copy of this exceptional book!
Now please enjoy our new programme autumn 2011!

Living the way people did during the Middle Ages for five entire days; no electricity,
no mobiles, and not even matches –
normally, this would not be Bastian’s
scene. If it was not for Sandra he would
not have joined this live role-play deep
inside a remote forest. Once they set off
one of the girls claims that the place they
went to is cursed: A feud between the
legitimate and the bastard son of a medieval Count led to a terrible event. Afraid
that his brother was after their father’s
property, the rightful son had the bastard
massacred at the father’s grave. Just
before he died, the illegitimate brother
cursed his relations, the castle and the
ground on which they stood. No one who
enters this forest shall ever return.
Strange things start to happen and it
seems impossible to leave the forest.
Did they make a mistake in not taking
the curse seriously?

Peru, 1893: Oskar Wegener from Berlin and
his companions have reached the Colca
Canyon – the world’s most gigantic canyon;
deeper than Grand Canyon, and wilder than
the Victoria Falls. High up there at 3,000 metres, the Inca’s last remaining descendants,
the people of the Rain Eaters, have built a
vertical city: fixed up high in between the
valley’s walls, connected by delicate bridges.
Their art and architecture give evidence of a
thousand-year-old culture – and a threat that
is just as old.

In October 1893 on the summit of the
Bandiagara massif in French-Sudan,
today known as Mali, the ethnologist
Richard Bellheim discovers the desert
city of the Tellem, people who came to
the mountains from the Sahara and who
appeared to have an astonishingly comprehensive knowledge of astronomy.
In the centre of the city is a temple
which is built on top of a mysterious
green stone. Bellheim is sure that he
has found The Glass Curse, a fortunate
stone which was brought to the mountain by the people of Tellem and which
might have been the reason for their
disappearance.
Back in Berlin Bellheim holds a lecture
about his experiences and discoveries
in Africa. However, he does not recognize his old friend Carl Friedrich Humboldt anymore. It seems that since he
has come back from the mountain he
forgets a lot of things, and apparently
he eats glass. Bellheim’s wife asks
Humboldt to find out what has happened to her husband back in Africa.
And so Humboldt, Oscar, Charlotte and
Eliza set out to their next big adventure
to discover the secret of the Tellems
and their glass curse.

To find the one true love is the idea in the centre of this

From the beginning of time the Snow
Queen has ruled over the white desert
at the edge of the world. Her realm is
cold and her heart made of ice. But
then the young magician Tamsin Spellwell succeeds in doing what no-one
else has dared to do before – she steals
an icicle from the icy heart of the Snow
Queen, in order to destroy the tyrant’s
power. In St Petersburg, in the coldest
winter ever known, the two encounter
one another again. They engage in a
fantastic magic duel – yet in the end it
is not magic that determines the winner,
but the courage of Tamsin’s young
friend...

In his own head 12-year-old Hugo is a
genius. Full of confidence he sets out
to enlighten the world with his clever
insights and to impress the onlookers –
especially his classmate Viola – with his
athletic performances. Stumbling from
one pitfall into the next this self-appointed super hero is one tough cookie.
Neither the constant bullying by his
elder sister nor the constant neglect
by the girls from school who are simply
taller (Hugo secretly calls them giraffes)
get him down. However difficult it gets,
Hugo is never going to give up!

Praise from the press for Vol. 1:
‘Hugo brings together all the topics that are on a
teenage boy’s mind.’ WELT am Sonntag
‘[…] super funny!’ Känguru
‘In her book “Hugo the Genius” Sabine Zett has a funny take
on a real boys’ topic: How can I get girls to recognise me?
The book’s strongest points are the witty dialogues and the
sketches of the inside world of a teenage boy.’

As if this wasn’t enough, Hugo has to

An entire hotel with all its inhabitants is

his daughter Kasmiranda, and potbellied pig Ingeborg got used to the
quite different appearance of their
home town Rippelpode in 2011, the
whole bunch sets out to explore the
place. They realise that times have
changed quite a bit – finding a sausage
wagon instead of the emperor’s
monument in the market place selling
food out of a strange ‘icy suitcase’.
At one point a terrible suspicion arises
in director Pompadauz’s mind: what if
his invention of a travel carousel actually caused the whole mess?

Of course both are in the middle of their

they will live their further lives as
humans or as vampires.
As part of the ritual Grandma Zezci

But Daka and Silvania can count on

Paul relaxes on the grassland and acts as if
nothing ever happened. But just a few
minutes ago Paul disappeared. Hanna has
looked for him everywhere, but no chance!
This has not been the first time though and
what is more Paul doesn’t want to eat the
tasty apples anymore. To find out what’s
going on, Hanna decides to follow him the
next time he sneaks out of the stable and
makes an interesting observation: Paul goes
to the circus nearby the stables to learn
some tricks and for every trick he gets a
treat. No wonder that he doesn’t like the
apples anymore …

Being responsible regarding your own feelings:
Children often don‘t know how to handle theirs.
Since emotions are judged quickly by other
people, children experience that it might be
problematic to show them openly. To handle one’s feelings responsibly is important
for living successfully with others – and it
has to be learned.
