Ascension
Fantasy von Terry Schott
In a world similar to our own 17th century, one man’s kindness lifts a poor, homeless boy from the dirt and sets him on an unlikely path of adventure. An average man would use a silver coin to buy food for a week. An extraordinary boy can use that same coin to build an empire.

Was hat ein in Leder gebundenes Notizbuch aus dem vergangenen Jahrhundert, eine geladene Pistole und ein alter Safe, die in einer alten Scheune verborgen sind, mit einer gerichtlichen Anweisung, die ein Highway-Projekt in Texas aufhält, zu tun? “This book is stellar. I’m pretty sure the scenario of the basis of this book is not only possible, but even probable. If you are a bit of a cynic and consider that not all arms or branches of the government have clean hands, you might find this a bit disturbing as well. ” (Leserin) (47 Rezensionen / 4,5 Sterne), 213 Seiten noch gratis?

An einem heißen Tag im Juli rettet die italienische Küstenwache fünf junge nigerianische Frauen aus einem ramponierten Boot. Gleichzeitig wird Katja Meier die Verantwortung für ein kleines Flüchtlingsheim in der Toskana übertragen. Aber eine altmodische Stadt mit alternder Bevölkerung auf den Hügeln war nicht gerade das, wo die fünf jungen Frauen landen wollten. „Refugees in Tuscany’s rolling hills? Prostitution on cypress lined roads? This is not a guidebook but a must read if you love Tuscany. A true story, the narrator doesn’t have the usual expat experience in Italy. Yes, she lives with an Italian. And right next to an olive grove too. But her life stops being all pasta and vino when she takes on a job in a refugee home in a Tuscan hilltop town.“ (Leserin) (5 Rezensionen / 5,0 Sterne), 286 Seiten – noch gratis?
