Rosenburg Riding Stables is receiving a new addition. When a famous French jockey wants to board his prize gelding, Fairydance, at the stable, horse-crazy Antonia is overcome with joy and excitement. Antonia immediately forms a deep connection with Fairydance, but no one else at the stable can get near him; he bucks them, runs away, and is generally cranky around anyone but Antonia. But while Antonia is fully capable of looking after Fairydance, will the famous Frenchman allow an eleven-year-old girl to care for his prize horse? When the jockey turns up unexpectedly to check on his Fairydance after a particularly heavy storm, will everything come unraveled with the horse’s training, or can Antonia save the day?A friendship between girl and horse beautifully told by Elisabeth Zöller and Brigitte Kolloch, featuring color illustrations by Betina Gotzen-Beek, Antonia, the Horse Whisperer highlights a classic first love for many girls and sets the stage for a new horse series for young readers.

But when her riding instructor presents an opportunity for Antonia to realize her dream by entering her for a big show-jumping competition, Antonia’s courage seems to fail her. After all, not only is Antonia the youngest entrant in the competition, but Elfin Dance, the wild gelding she rides, sometimes has a mind of his own. To make matters worse, Alina—Antonia’s antagonist who never misses an opportunity to best her—is entering the competition, too.

Doch irgendjemand will mit allen Mitteln verhindern, dass sie mehr über das Bild und dessen Maler erfährt …Ein opulenter Roman mit farbenprächtigen Szenen, ein spannendes Kunstabenteuer und die Geschichte einer großen Liebe.

Und ihr Weltbild gerät ins Wanken. – Hautnah erlebt der Leser Paulas anfängliche Begeisterung und die schmerzliche Loslösung vom nationalsozialistischen Gedankengut.Nach dem großen Erfolg von ›Anton oder Die Zeit des unwerten Lebens‹ greift Elisabeth Zöller erneut ein wichtiges Thema des Nationalsozialismus auf: Wie konnte jemand ein liebevoller Familienvater sein und gleichzeitig mit einem Befehl unendlich viele Menschen in den Tod schicken?

Introduction to Public Law is a historical and comparative introduction to public law. The book traces back the origins of the res publica to Roman law and analyzes the course of its development, first during the monarchical age in continental Europe and England, and then during the republican age that began at the end of the eighteenth century with the democratic revolutions in the United States and France. For each period and country, the book analyzes the major concepts of public law and their transformations: sovereignty, the state, the statute, the separation of powers, the public interest, and administrative justice.
