„Der Joker “ von Markus Zusak – rausgefischt & vorgestellt von Marcus Weible und Gabi Leucht "Rausgefischt & Vorgestellt". (Hördauer ca. 16 Minuten) Wir besprechen in loser Reihenfolge Bücher, die wir beim Entrümpeln unserer Regale entdeckt, wieder gefunden oder erneut gelesen haben. "Der grandiose berührende Coming-of-Age-Roman, mit dem Markus Zusak weltberühmt wurde. Jetzt als Serienverfilmung »The Messenger – Seltsame Botschaften« In Eds Briefkasten liegt – eine Spielkarte. Ein Karo-Ass. Darauf stehen drei Adressen. Die Neugier treibt ihn hin zu diesen Orten, doch was er dort sieht, bestürzt ihn zutiefst: drei unerträglich schwere Schicksale, Menschen, die sich nicht selbst aus ihrem Elend befreien können. Etwas in Ed schreit: »Du musst handeln! Tu endlich was!« Dreimal fasst er sich ein Herz, dreimal verändert er Leben. Da flattert ihm die nächste Karte ins Haus. Wieder und wieder ergreift Ed die Initiative – doch wer ihn auf diese eigenartige Mission geschickt hat, ist ihm völlig schleierhaft. In diesem großartigen Coming-of-Age-Roman erzählt Markus Zusak, der Autor des Weltbestsellers »Die Bücherdiebin«, ungeheuer spannend und mit viel Situationskomik eine Geschichte über Zivilcourage. Der Roman wurde von der Presse gefeiert und unter anderem mit dem Deutschen Jugendliteraturpreis 2007 ausgezeichnet. Marcus Weible, geboren 1968 in München. Nach Abitur und Bundeswehr habe ich Geschichte und Rechtswissenschaften in Erlangen und Würzburg studiert. Ich war 15 Jahre als Rechtsanwalt und juristischer Repetitor bei Kern – Nordbayern tätig.

Mittlerweile lebe ich in Regensburg und gehe dort dem Anwaltsberuf mit Schwerpunkt im Verwaltungsrecht nach. Neben meinem Hobby Geschichte, sind und waren SF und Fantasy meine große Leidenschaft. Ich bin Mitglied des Münchner Fankreises „Die Phantasten“ und betätige mich auf mehreren Literaturseiten als Autor und Rezensent.” Gabriele Leucht, geboren: 1981 in München, Ausbildung: von den alten Sprachen bis zur Avocatessa der Juristerei in Rosenheim, Birmingham, Maryland, Neapel, Straßburg und München. Interessen: Kunst, je abstrakter desto lieber, Literatur, besonders Romane und Dramen, Opern-Musik, fürs Herz italienisch, für den Rest auch alles andere, Politik: Grundgesetz-Fanatikerin, Antirassistin u.v.m., Sport: nicht ohne meine Berge. EVELYN MÜLLER erblickte am 6.6.1976 im oberpfälzischen Weiden das Licht der Welt. Sie ist seit vielen Jahren in Regensburg als Anwältin  mit Schwerpunkt im Arbeitsrecht tätig. Seit jeher zieht es Evelyn in der europäischen Süden: sie liebt römische Architektur, barocke Kirchen und die Bauwerke der Renaissance. Als überzeugte Anhängerin des "dolce far niente" schwärmt sie für italienische Musik und Literatur. In ihrer Freizeit spielt Evelyn Tennis, joggt und wandert leidenschaftlich gerne im Regensburger Umland und in den Donau - Auen.

Zusak talks about the mad mayhem of sharing your life with a mongrel, and the importance of stripping away the veneer through which we so often view life, to expose its more messy reality. Hosting this conversation, in which Zusak discusses the conundrum of how much is too much to spend on a dog's dodgy knees, is the editor of Good Weekend, Katrina Strickland.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

T.03 Choixpitre 36 - Connaissez-vous la Mort ?

“Here is a small fact: You are going to die.” – Markus Zusak, The Book Thief This week, Kurt and Tim confront death. Well - they confront death and Jodi Wellman, author of “You Only Die Once” in a lively discussion on how we can use mortality and a motivator for living life to the fullest. Wellman bring an irreverent humor to the conversation, as well as inspiring insights on how we can prioritize joy and find meaning in our daily lives.  The trio dives into the heart of Wellman's philosophy and explores the idea that life is about more than ticking off a to-do lists or sticking to routings. With a mix of anecdotes and insights, they explore how we can shake things up and be more intentional with our time. After all, we only have so many Mondays left to live! In their grooving session, Kurt opens up about how a brush with death can remind us of life's preciousness. As they wrap up, they emphasize how the power of gratitude and the importance of connecting with loved ones can help us do more than just breathe - but actually live.  Whether it's finding joy in the everyday or reaching out to someone you've lost touch with, the episode is a reminder that living fully means being present, purposeful and - at times - a little irreverent. © 2024 Behavioral Grooves Topics  [0:00] How often do you think about death?

Internationell författarscen 2 april 2009.

Keine Ausbildung, keine Freundin, kein Glück beim Pokern - Ed Kennedy (Marc Hosemann) hält sich für den geborenen Verlierer. Doch dann gerät er zufällig in einen Banküberfall. Am nächsten Tag liegt eine mysteriöse Spielkarte in der Post. // Von Markus Zusak / Regie: Susanne Krings / WDR 2009 // Eine Familiengeschichte im Schatten der deutschen Teilung - Mutter haben: https://1.ard.de/mutterhaben Von Markus Zusak.

LDS general conferences are often difficult for Latter-day Saints who are experience shifts in their faith, but at the same time wonderful boons to others. Certain talks can be painful reminders of ideas and ways of approaching God and life that we who are in the midst of faith journeys have come to find unhealthy; just as many are exhilarating to others and and fill them with hope. The key determiner in how certain messages will strike our hearts is "us." We come to conference in all sorts of states of mind, and we are often only primed to receive what's said with certain ears. If we expect to find close-minded pronouncements, we will find them. If we are able to sit in a greater space of peace, we will find much that sings to us, as well.  As LDS host Dan Wotherspoon was engaging with early April's conference, his mind hit upon the metaphor of "word shakers," which he had encountered in a powerful novel, The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak. It is contained within a short parable within the book itself and refers to those who climb trees that are made of words (and we are trees also constituted to a large degree by words), and help shake down those that are stuck or that aren't landing and being picked up by the people below in the way they deserve to be. Trees made of horrendous words ugly ideas have word shakers helping spread them to those waiting below, and likewise, wonderful, expansive, empowering words have their shakers, too. In the context of general conference, we might imagine church leaders as perched in the branches of the Gospel Tree containing so many wonderful words that make it so beautiful. They will search the branches for words they want to shake down. Their choices of what to shake are dependent upon their own ways of interpreting the Gospel message, as well as their particular temperaments, where and when they were raised or discovered the Gospel, and what has worked "for them" as they grew and developed into who they are and what they see. But, ultimately, it is we who hear the words being shaken who determine whether or not we will be influenced by them and make them a part of us, or if we will reject them because we find them lacking the words and ideas of the Gospel that most resonate with us. In this episode, Dan reflects upon this metaphor as well as how general conference strikes various people in various ways, but ultimately his goal is to suggest how we can all use conference as a powerful time for self-examination and, eventually dialing down to what we value most--and why that is. Like all "inner work," our processing of conference messages must begin by examining the emotions that stir inside of us when we hear them. And it is through these reflections that we gain greater self-knowledge, a clearer sense of whether or not these reactions come from a healthy place, a place of wholeness and peace, or if there is something we may need to look at and examine more closely.  Inner work "works" when it brings things to our attention things we might have bypassed and ignored that are nevertheless affecting us in in profound ways. And when we encounter those and gain a clearer picture of what they are, we find ourselves in a state where we might begin to heal the wounds they reveal.  General Conference = Great Catalyst (for gaining more self-knowledge and healing). What have the word shakers released into our worlds during the two days of conference, and why are certain ones falling from the same Gospel Tree affecting us the way they are? Maybe this metaphor will provide us a more neutral way to view the role given to those who share from the conference pulpit.

The Grills chat about the book, and the movie. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19063.The_Book_Thief?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=o9EM9rweN0&rank=1 The post Book Club – The Book Thief by Markus Zusak first appeared on Geek Grills.

Alisa's daughter Ella, and Lauren's daughter Ana gave us a list of YA titles we hadn't read yet.  Aileen read We Were Liars by E. Lockheart, a thriller with a blow-your-mind twist at the end. Though classified as YA, we all felt like this book was just as suitable for adults also.Lauren read The Book Thief by Markus Zusak after years of her daughter Ana telling her to. Ana has a special connection to this book and briefly joins us to talk about how books she read and loved when she was in middle school have a particular place in her heart. Alisa read Conversations With Friends by Sally Rooney, a well-told story about two couples who swing, which had the same characteristic “Rooney” style that Alisa loved so much in Normal People. And Josie read The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, and she can't believe it took her so long to read this excellent book. Important, timely, and just a fine story in and of itself, Josie believes that it should be required reading in high schools.

Is it first or third person? Past or present tense?As you'll see in this week's podcast episode, Point of View is about way more than this.See more here:https://storygrid.com/point-of-view/A story's global Point of View includes the technical choices writers make to deliver the story to the reader.

This is the storytelling Mode.Showing is an objective and immediate mode that creates the effect of being present and observing the events of the story.

Martin, Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín, or “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest HemingwayTelling is a subjective mode that readers experience as if someone or something is collecting, collating, and sharing the events and circumstances of the story.First Person: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, or Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen FieldingSecond Person: “How to Be an Other Woman” by Lorrie Moore.Third Person: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K.
