Stefan Bachmann

Modern-day teenagers meet a palace of terrors locked up since the French Revolution in this surprising and haunting thriller from Stefan Bachmann, the internationally bestselling author of The Peculiar and The Whatnot. A Drop of Night will thrill fans of Neal Shusterman and Jessica Khoury. Seventeen-year-old Anouk has finally caught the break she’s been looking for—she’s been chosen to participate in an exclusive program that includes an all-expense-paid trip to France and a chance to explore the hidden underground Palais des Papillons, or Palace of Butterflies. Along with four other gifted teenagers, Anouk will be one of the first people to set foot in the palace in more than two hundred years. Bachmann’s masterful scene-building alternates between Anouk’s flight through the palace and the struggles of Aurelie, who escaped the French Revolution by fleeing into the Palais des Papillons in 1792.

Die Wedernoch

The Whatnot is the acclaimed international bestseller and sequel to Stefan Bachmann's riveting debut novel, The Peculiar, which Publishers Weekly called "an absolute treat for readers of any age," and which the Los Angeles Times compared to "Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities, and more recent classics, such as J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events." Twelve-year-old Pikey Thomas is missing an eye, a family, and friends of any sort. One day, running from bigger boys set on bullying him, Pikey finds himself in front of a grand, beautiful house. There he meets and helps a black-winged faery who is injured. It's a small gesture of kindness and bravery in steam-powered Victorian London, where faeries, now banned, are on the run or imprisoned; where the human armies are preparing for war; and where the changeling Bartholomew Kettle, aided by Arthur Jelliby, still searches for his missing sister, Hettie. This is the epic, dark, imaginative, unforgettable, and ultimately hopeful sequel to Stefan Bachmann's acclaimed debut novel, The Peculiar. "An enthralling read . . . Bachmann combines the pleasures of a Dickensian cast of characters with the eldritch qualities of British faerie lore and adds a touch of steampunk to entice readers into an alternate universe in which the English are on the verge of war with the fay. The breathtaking beauty of his prose is coupled with a plot that also leaves his audience breathless."—School Library Journal

Die letzten Hexen von Blackbird Castle

O segundo volume da série O peculiar Pikey Thomas não tem nada. Nem família nem amigos... nem dois olhos normais. Mas sua visão, quem diria, tem algum valor. Seu olho cinzento, capaz de enxergar o que não está à sua frente, pode ser de alguma valia para o irmão de Hettie — o corajoso aventureiro Bartholomew Kettle. Alguma valia para o nobre que o adotou. E Pikey faria qualquer coisa para escapar do passado, qualquer coisa por uma nova chance. O destino dessas três crianças está prestes a se entrelaçar. E o resultado pode acabar com o mundo das fadas e o dos homens.

Não-sei-quê (Vol. 2 O peculiar)

AKT / NUDE is more than a collection from twenty years of nude studies in the Department of Stage Design at the Mozarteum University Salzburg. The scenographic perspective and the proximity to theater, film and performance provide crucial impulses. The works by the young artists present a variety of unconventional and experimental approaches to the naked human body that go far past the academic study of nature and, in a certain sense, achieve a staging of the nude.Some 520 works by 68 students, impressions of instructional situations, texts by students and teachers as well as the thoughts of a nude model resonate in a conceptual space and enter into complex relationships with each other. They tell of artistic processes oscillating between perception and imagination--an emotionally moving encounter with nakedness, with the fragility of the body and of human existence.

Akt / Nude

Die Fortsetzung des Fantasy-Bestsellers ›Die Seltsamen‹. Bartholomew hat aus nächster Nähe mit angesehen, wie sich ein Tor zwischen seiner Welt und dem verzauberten Feenforst auftat und seine Schwester dahinter verschwand. Er hatte versprochen, Hettie nach Hause zu holen, koste es, was es wolle. Aber was ist, wenn die bösen Wesen nur den richtigen Moment abwarten, um auch ihn zu entführen? ›Die Wedernoch‹ zeigt auf höchst packende Weise, wie drei junge Außenseiter – nicht obwohl, sondern weil sie anders sind! – die gefährlichsten Abenteuer bestehen können.

Das souveräne Debüt eines 18-Jährigen – ein Bestseller in Amerika und jetzt auch in Deutschland: Ein schüchterner Junge zieht aus, seine Schwester zu suchen, und findet nicht nur einen Freund, sondern muss – vielleicht – auch die Welt retten.
