In der Blechtrommel erweist sich Oskar Matzerath, der im Alter von drei Jahren beschließt, nicht mehr zu wachsen, als ein scharfsinniger Beobachter des Danziger Kleinbürgertums vor und während des Nationalsozialismus. In Katz und Maus erzählt Pilenz aus der Rückschau des Jahres 1959 vom bewunderten und verachteten Klassenkameraden Mahlke im Danzig der Kriegszeit, den sein übergroßer Adamsapfel zum Außenseiter macht.

El 8 de noviembre de 1939, apenas comenzada la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Adolf Hitler dio un discurso inusualmente corto en una cervecería de Múnich. Once minutos después de que abandonara el lugar, estalló una bomba que alguien había instalado bajo el estrado. La explosión derrumbó parte del edificio y dejó ocho muertos. De haber seguido allí, con toda seguridad Hitler habría sido asesinado. Jorge Carrasco nos sumerge en un momento crucial del siglo XX y nos descubre la vida de este héroe discreto que se atrevió a hacer frente al horror.

Story
Может ли пришелец из будущего в одиночку изменить мир? Умные политики и маститые ученые доказывают нам, что нет. Но Илья Лисов не знал этого авторитетного мнения. Против своего желания оказавшись 22 июня 1941 года на советско-германской границе, он вынужден был вступить в бой с фашистами просто для того, чтобы выжить. А потом, освоившись в новом времени, Илья решает сделать попытку повлиять на события, чтобы уменьшить количество погибших в войне. С трудом, но это ему удается. И вот на дворе — конец лета 1944 года.

Story
هكذا بدأ الكاتب روايته ليؤسس لفكرةٍ عظيمة تتمحور حول الشعوب ومدى ارتباطها بأفكار وقرارات قادتها وزعمائها الذين يخلدهم التاريخ رغم طغيانهم عن طريق حكاية آلةٍ موسيقية أثرية لا تقدَّر بثمن تنتقل عبر ثلاثة قرون قبل أن تصل إلى يد عائلةٍ ألمانية تُعاصر الحكم النازي فتصير الآلة إرثًا لأبناء العائلة اللواتي يتفرقن بعد سقوط النازية وتمدّد حائط برلين.

Story
In a sleepy German village, Allina Strauss’s life seems idyllic: she works at her uncle’s bookshop, makes strudel with her aunt, and spends weekends with her friends and fiancé. But it's 1939, Adolf Hitler is Chancellor, and Allina’s family hides a terrifying secret—her birth mother was Jewish, making her a Mischling. One fateful night after losing everyone she loves, Allina is forced into service as a nurse at a state-run baby factory called Hochland Home. There, she becomes both witness and participant to the horrors of Heinrich Himmler’s ruthless eugenics program.
