<div>A compelling reinvention of the William Tell legend blends myth and fact to craft a compelling historical page-turner full of love, honor, adventure, and revenge "It hissed as it cut the air. Thell could not see it well. But he felt it. A wicked point flying at speed toward his son's head. The bolt flew in a flat arc, higher first, then descending. It hit the apple and split it in two. The bolt flew on and dug itself into the ground about the same time the halves of the apple touched the ground." Altdorf, November 1307 and Gessler would have obedience. He hung his hat on the pole at the center of the square, the newly constructed fortifications looming over the populace. Every citizen was ordered to pass the pole and bow as they did so, proving their allegiance, their serfdom. But one man would not bow, would not scrape, would not bend--William Thell. In that moment a legend was born, and a nation found its courage and its honor.</div>

Figuring out the many new terms confronting international students at German-language universities can be difficult. Even if the degree program is in English, most administrative work has to be done in German, and the bureaucratic university jargon is a language in and of itself. This guide aims to help international students and researchers understand the structures and organization of German universities by providing in-depth descriptions of terms and their origins, allowing for easier integration into the host university and its culture.

Das Nibelungenlied ist ein Klassiker der Weltliteratur. Diese unsterbliche Geschichte von Drachenkampf, Nibelungenschatz und Tarnkappe, von Liebe und Verrat, von Mord und Vergeltung gehört ohne Zweifel zu den besten Stoffen der deutschen Sprache. In seiner immer spannend zu lesenden Nacherzählung ist es Albrecht Behmel gelungen, die Geschichte sowohl originalgetreu als auch für den modernen Leser ansprechend zu gestalten. Von besonderem Wert sind die Anmerkungen am Schluß des Buches, die die vielen versteckten Hinweise und Hintergründe im Originaltext auf unterhaltsame Weise erklären und somit für ein doppeltes Vergnügen beim Lesen sorgen. Am 22. Februar 1784 schrieb Friedrich II. von Preußen, der Alte Fritz, an den ersten Herausgeber des Epos, Christian Heinrich Müller, der das Werk dem König gewidmet hatte, folgendes: Hochgelahrter, lieber Getreuer! Ihr urtheilt viel zu vorteilhafft von denen Gedichten aus dem 12., 13. und 14. Seculo, deren Druck Ihr befördert habet, und zur Bereicherung der Teutschen Sprache so brauchbar haltet. Meiner Einsicht nach sind solche nicht einen Schuß Pulver werth; und verdienten nicht aus dem Staube der Vergessenheit gezogen zu werden. In meiner Bücher-Sammlung wenigstens würde Ich dergleichen elendes Zeug nicht dulten; sondern herausschmeißen. Das Mir davon eingesandte Exemplar mag dahero sein Schicksal in der dortigen großen Bibliothek abwarten. Viele Nachfrage verspricht aber solchem nicht, Euer sonst gnädiger König Frch.

The first monograph on a young, up and coming, art world star With special features, including augmented reality 
Leon Löwentraut is celebrated in the art scene as an exceptional talent. He has been conquering the art world since his earliest youth. With dynamic forms and expressive colors, the 24-year-old Löwentraut creates works of art that sell out within days at international exhibitions. 
The first comprehensive monograph on his life's work, shows on 320 pages his works with about 220 color photographs. The impressively large format of 29 cm wide and 37 cm high creates the space to explore the many details in Löwentraut's paintings. 
The illustrated book is colorful and lively, with a velvet cover in magenta on the outside and the preprinted pages on the inside glowing orange, making it 100 percent Löwentraut! That is the first impression one has when opening the book. 
The great energy of Löwentraut's art has been captured in the production and content of the monograph. But the illustrated book can do much more: it offers the reader a deep insight into Löwentraut's work and also addresses the question of what drives the young artist and who influenced him. How does it feel to be an artist in our digital age, and what place does classically created art have in a global world dominated by the Internet and social media? 
The illustrated book itself already has one possible approach to bringing this discrepancy together. Using the teNeues app and your smartphone camera, you can access exclusive video footage of Leon's work on twelve appropriately marked pages. Those who scan the pages are presented with sequences in the studio, conversations about art and the art world, selected exhibition moments, and impressions from the production of the book.
