Rafik Schami

»Als ich dort angefangen habe, war ich der erste Ausländer im Betrieb. Später kamen Jugoslawen und Türken dazu, aber am ersten Tag haben mich die Leute angeglotzt, als wäre ich von einem anderen Stern...« Rafik Schami schreibt vom täglichen Leben der Arbeitsemigranten bei uns, von Heimweh und Diskriminierung, von Einsamkeit und Mißverständnissen, von Behördenkrieg und Sprachschwierigkeiten. Aber auch von manchem kleinen Sieg über den grauen Alltag.

Agape

Maria Lourdes B. Abulencia

What should fascinate both the older historian and succeeding generations is how intimately this life has woven the will for a new and more equitable political order with the search for old spiritual truths made new by the crises of an imploding country. The implosion of the Philippines and the implosion of the author's own consciousness reflect one another faithfully.

The grand ones of San Ildefonso

Lauran Paine

A small border town in New Mexico, San Ildefonso dates back to well before the Mexican War which made it part of the United States. And in that time, San Ildefonso had survived a lot. Marauding Indians, lawless bandoleros, soldiers in blue, raiders in rags and killers in war paint had come and gone. Resigned but resilient, the inhabitants had yielded their paltry possessions from their adobe huts and resumed their lives. But now, renegades from south of the border are attempting to seize the village itself, in search of rumoured conquistador treasure. -- back cover.
