Montserrat has always been overlooked. She's a talented sound editor, but she's left out of the boys' club running the film industry in 90s Mexico City. And she's all-but-invisible to her best friend Tristan, a charming if faded soap opera star, even though she's been in love with him since childhood. Then Tristan discovers his new neighbour is the cult horror director Abel Urueta, and the legendary auteur claims he has a way to change their lives - even if his tales of a Nazi occultist imbuing magic into highly volatile silver nitrate stock sounds like sheer fantasy. The magic film was never finished, which is why, Urueta swears, his career vanished overnight. He is cursed. Now the director wants Montserrat and Tristan to help him shoot the missing scene and lift the curse . . . but Montserrat soon notices a dark presence following her, and Tristan begins seeing the ghost of his ex-girlfriend... As they work together to unravel the mystery of the film and the obscure occultist who once roamed their city, Montserrat and Tristan might find out that sorcerers and magic are not only the stuff of movies . . .

Sharp-tongued (and secretly soft-hearted) Kiki Banjo has just made a huge mistake. As an expert in relationship-evasion and the host of the popular student radio show Brown Sugar, she's made it her mission to make sure the women of the African-Caribbean Society at Whitewell University do not fall into the mess of "situationships", players, and heartbreak. But when the Queen of the Unbothered kisses Malakai Korede, the guy she just publicly denounced as "The Wastemen of Whitewell," in front of every Blackwellian on campus, she finds her show on the brink. They're soon embroiled in a fake relationship to try and salvage their reputations and save their futures. Kiki has never surrendered her heart before, and a player like Malakai won't be the one to change that, no matter how charming he is or how electric their connection feels. But surprisingly entertaining study sessions and intimate, late-night talks at old-fashioned diners force Kiki to look beyond her own presumptions. Is she ready to open herself up to something deeper?

Zu den bewegendsten und bisher unzugänglichen Schriften Stefan Zweigs zählen diese in seinen letzten beiden Lebensjahren entstandenen Schilderungen. Einmal mehr zeigen sie das ganze Spektrum seines Talentes, persönliche Erfahrungen wie auch historische Begebenheiten so anschaulich zu vergegenwärtigen, dass sie der Leser wie eigene Erlebnisse wiederzuerkennen meint. Die Titelgeschichte ist eine Erinnerung an die wohl glücklichsten Jahre, die er von 1919 bis 1934 in seinem Salzburger Heim verbrachte. »Nur Mut!« überliefert ein Erlebnis aus seiner Schulzeit, ähnlich folgenreich wie die »Nachhaltige Lektion« eines Besuches beim Bildhauer Auguste Rodin. Der Bericht »Was mir das Geld bedeutet« ist ebenso wie die Erzählung »Die Angler an der Seine« und seine von 1940 bis 1942 nur in Zeitungen und Zeitschriften veröffentlichten politischen Appelle, »Das große Schweigen«, »In dieser dunklen Stunde« und »Hartrott und Hitler«, Warnrufe vor Katastrophen, die er nicht mehr erleben wollte.
Ces récits écrits dans les deux dernières années de sa vie comptent parmi les écrits les plus émouvants et les plus inaccessibles de Stefan Zweig. Une fois de plus, ils montrent toute l'étendue de son talent pour évoquer des expériences personnelles et des événements historiques de manière si vivante que le lecteur a l'impression de les reconnaître comme s'il les avait vécus lui-même. L'histoire de couverture est un souvenir des années les plus heureuses qu'il a passées dans son foyer salzbourgeois de 1919 à 1934. "Nur Mut !" relate une expérience vécue pendant sa scolarité, tout aussi lourde de conséquences que la "Leçon durable" d'une visite au sculpteur Auguste Rodin. Le récit "Ce que l'argent signifie pour moi", tout comme la nouvelle "Les pêcheurs à la ligne sur la Seine" et ses appels politiques publiés de 1940 à 1942 uniquement dans des journaux et des revues, "Le grand silence", "En cette heure sombre" et "Hartrott et Hitler", sont autant de cris d'alarme avant des catastrophes qu'il ne voulait plus vivre.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans, the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with - of all things - her mind. True chemistry results. Like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later, Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show, Supper at Six. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking (''combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride'') proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo.
