Esta autobiografía, La Bazuca de Madera, es una historia de múltiples dramas demasiado vívida, improbable e intensamente personal para haber sido conjurada por un novelista. Desde el orfanato hasta el frente de batalla, desde el campo de prisioneros hasta la sala de juntas y más allá, Karl Heinz Johannsmeier teje una narrativa vertiginosa de una duración y una trayectoria increíbles, un testimonio del poder del optimismo y la tenacidad para burlar a la muerte, superar la derrota e ingeniar el triunfo.

Cette autobiographie, Bazooka en Bois, est une histoire de drames multiples trop vivants, improbables et intensément personnels pour avoir été évoqués par un romancier. De l'orphelinat au front de bataille en passant par le camp de prisonniers, la salle de conférence et au-delà, Karl Heinz Johannsmeier raconte un récit au rythme effréné d'une envergure et d'une trajectoire incroyables, un témoignage du pouvoir de l'optimisme et de la ténacité pour déjouer la mort, surmonter la défaite et triompher.

Diese Autobiographie ist eine Geschichte vielfältiger Dramen, die zu lebendig, unwahrscheinlich und zutiefst persönlich sind, um von einem Romanautor heraufbeschworen zu werden.

Barton Rubenstein had a picture-perfect childhood—a loving family, idyllic summers at the beach, and a particularly close kinship with his progressive, charismatic, and devoted mom. When she died after a brutal five-year battle with cancer, Barton, just 18, found himself confronted by unbearable heartbreak. He was also saddened that his mother had not realized many of her dreams, and felt terrified that he could meet the same fate. This fear sent him headlong into a life of unexpected adventures and achievements, feeling that tomorrow could be too late.

His father conceived of the Brooklyn Bridge, but after John Roebling's sudden death, Washington Roebling built what has become one of American's most iconic structures - as much a part of New York as the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. Yet, as recognizable as the bridge is, its builder is too often forgotten - and his life is of interest far beyond his chosen field. It is the story of immigrants, of the frontier, of the greatest crisis in American history, and of the making of the modern world.

John James Audubon's The Birds of America stands as an unparalleled achievement in American art. With that work, Audubon became one of the most adulated artists of his time, and America's first celebrity scientist.
