Georg Klein Oral History (interview Code: 32435)

The Atheist and the Holy City
In this series of 15 essays, which won the Letterstedt Prize, Sweden's equivalent of the Pulitzer, distinguished cell biologist George Klein shares his considerable insights on science and on human nature. Organized loosely as "The Wisdom and Folly of Scientists," "Journeys," "Viruses and Cancer," and "La Condition Humaine," the essays range from lucid explanations of biological and genetic processes to personal remembrances and studies of famous scientists to discussions of the complicity of science and medicine in the Nazi extermination camps.

The Everlasting Gospel
A new edition of the classic that brought Christian Universalism to America.The Everlasting Gospel was written by the German pastor Georg Klein-Nicolai of Friessdorf, Germany, under the pseudonyme of Paul Siegvolck.

It was later published by Elhanan Winchester in London in 1792. It is this edition which is here republished in a slightly updated version.The arguments p...
Pieta
As Albert Camus's famous dictum has it, the only truly important philosophical question is suicide, or whether or not life is worth living.

Live Now
The first, Ali Elovic, fought on several fronts in World War II and was forced to endure the horrors of Nazi and Communist prisons, but still maintained his thirst for life, emerging as a successful businessman. The second, Nobel Prize-winning virologist Carleton Gajdusek, used his extraordinary scientific talent to escape conventional life and to provide a home and education to more than thirty youths from "primitive" cultures in New Zealand, Australia, and other places.

Pietà
Vad handlar denna bok egentligen om? Om självmördare, om Holocaust eller om poeter? Nej, jag tror egentligen inte att boken handlar om dessa ämnen. De har valts för att ställa kärnfrågan, människans situation, på sin spets. Vi möter vårt största dilemma nar vi nalkas det bottenlösa ordet pietà – ett ord som ingen har lyckats översätta till något annat språk så att det har kunnat behålla sina nyanser och associationer. Lidelsefullt söker Georg Klein svar på sina frågor utifrån sitt eget livs erfarenheter och sina naturvetenskapliga kunskaper men också med hjälp av en rad författare och poeter som talat djupt och starkt till honom.
