Erich von Däniken claims to have never seen a UFO. But in the fall of 1987, on a desert ride, he experienced a close encounter of a very different kind. A being materialized before his eyes, and since the "thing" had no name, von Däniken called it "Tomy". This book is the story of Tomy. Some say that Tomy is a scientific impossibility. Yet Tomy was there, science or not. After all, Tomy had for a few weeks lived among us, and that was enough for plenty of interpersonal relationships.

"Die Nacht von Lissabon" ist Remarques ergreifendster Roman. Es ist die Geschichte vom Elend und von der Größe des Menschen im Krieg, eine Geschichte, die zeigt, dass es weder einen Preis für Menschlichkeit gibt noch einen Preis für Unmenschlichkeit. Es gibt nur Geschichten von Jammer und Elend, von Größe, Liebe und Leidenschaft. Der Roman ist ein Gleichnis der absurden menschlichen Situation im Machtbereich der Diktatur.

"Es geht um gekaufte und verkaufte Liebe, um Sehnsucht und Selbstmord, um eine Zeit, die sich verliert, in Berlin, dem zärtlichen Moloch der Moderne." Georg Diez, Der Spiegel Fabian ist Erich Kästners Meisterwerk. Doch der Roman wurde vor seinem Erscheinen verändert und gekürzt.

The Erich Fromm Reader exhibits the true genius of an original thinker in seeing the connections between overlapping knowledge from many different fields. Here, interdisciplinarity is not only a lip service but the impact of Erich Fromm's unique social psychological notion.

"This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will simply try to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war." Prologue to All Quiet on the Western Front.

In Man for Himself, Erich Fromm examines the confusion of modern women and men who, because they lack faith in any principle by which life ought to be guided, become the helpless prey forces both within and without. From the broad, interdisciplinary perspective that marks Fromm's distinguished oeuvre, he shows that psychology cannot divorce itself from the problems of philosophy and ethics, and that human nature cannot be understood without understanding the values and moral conflicts that confront us all.

History offers few records of war as vivid, haunting, and evocative as Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front.

"Im Osten regiert das Verbrechen, im Zentrum die Gaunerei, im Norden das Elend, im Westen die Unzucht und in allen Himmelsrichtungen wohnt der Untergang", schrieb Kästner 1931 über die Metropole Berlin. Tatsächlich war Kästners Großstadterfahrung deutlich positiver und bunter. Als rasender Reporter, Nachtschwärmer und Frauenliebling war er zuverlässig immer dort anzutreffen, wo etwas los war, ob im Theater, in Tanzlokalen oder bei Ringkampf-Veranstaltungen.

As consumers of art, and especially as fans, we have a host of tricky moral question to navigate: do the moral lives of artists affect the aesthetic quality of their work? In Drawing the Line, Erich Hatala Matthes argues that it doesn't matter whether we can separate the art from the artist, because we shouldn't. Matthes argues both that the lives of artists can play an important role in shaping our moral and aesthetic relationship to the artworks that we love and that these same artworks offer us powerful resources for grappling with the immorality of their creators.
