The Book paints a very interesting world. It is somewhat magical, but not in the clichee way. I often don't know where to expect magic and find myself surprised by either its appearance or the lack of it. There is a main story, but many chapters stand for themselves and are more or less loosely connected. Due to that, this book does not really suck you into it, but allows for very relaxed reading. And its enjoyable atmosphere is definitely something I like going back into.

finished reading UT, Nr.2, Memed, mein Falke by Yasar Kemal

Yasar Kemal: UT, Nr.2, Memed, mein Falke (Paperback, German language, 1990, Unionsverlag)

Für mich das erste Buch des Jahres 2025. Es ist Brutal und nicht unbedingt zufriedenstellend, aber fesselnd und man bekommt äußerst interessante Einblicke ins Räuberleben und die gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse im Taurus (Türkei) vor 100 Jahren. Insofern ist das Buch durchaus lesenswert wenn man sich für sowas interessiert.

Geschichte der Verschlüsselung fesselnd endschlüsselt

Ein Sachbuch über die Geschichte der Verschlüsselung. Schon lange her, dass ich es gelesen habe, aber es war sehr unterhaltsam, Interesse weckend und hat sich in mein Gedächtnis eingeprägt. Absolute Leseempfehlung
