Lew Wallace, a fascinating and multitalented historical figure, has consistently been overlooked and lost in academia, articles, and modern books. When he has been discussed, he has often been misrepresented and misunderstood. This is partly due to the sordid and profoundly controversial period in the United States during his lifetime. Yet, Lew wrote one of the most successful and influential novels of the 19th Century. The story he created, and the high-profile controversies he was intimately involved in, have lived on in numerous movies and television programs.

Книга записок, своего рода дневник о времени, написанный автором знаменитых гариков: "Это дневник, хотя все виденное и слышанное я пишу в него с запозданием — спохватился уже год спустя после ареста. Впрочем, нет — оправдывается вполне и в моем случае эта давняя усмешливая констатация: появилась возможность — вот он и сел писать. А что еще не выйдя на свободу — это детали, частности. Когда опомнился тогда и начал". Размышления и наблюдения Губермана о лагере, лишенном драматичных сюжетов и преувеличений.

Das kleine Mädchen Marina lügt gern und mit poetischer Hingabe. Ein Akt rebellischer Selbstbehauptung gegenüber einer Welt, in der es die strengen Regeln der Mutter gibt, um deren Liebe sie ringt, aber auch den glutäugigen Vater, der erst mittags aufsteht und sich an keinerlei Regeln zu halten scheint. Einer Welt, in der sie getauft und trotzdem jüdisch sein soll - wie ihr russischer Großvater, den die Mutter verachtet. Marina Jarre erzählt von der Kindheit im multikulturellen Riga der 1930er Jahre. Vom jähen Bruch, als sie nach der Trennung der Eltern zu ihren Großeltern ins faschistische Italien kommt.
