Owning the Olympics
"A major contribution to the study of global events in times of global media.

Rauschgift in der rumänischen Kultur: Geschichte, Religion und Literatur
Ein berauschendes Buch über Drogen aller Art und ihre Verwendung im Donau-Karpaten-Raum in den vergangenen zweieinhalb Jahrtausenden! Aus religionshistorischer, anthropologischer und kulturwissenschaftlicher Sicht betrachtet Andrei Oişteanu das Thema von den ersten Zeugnissen des Cannabisgebrauchs bei Herodot bis zum Drogenkonsum im heutigen Rumänien – immer im internationalen Kontext. Neben der Auswertung antiker und mittelalterlicher Quellen steht die Verwendung von Rauschgiften durch rumänische Gelehrte, Schriftsteller und Künstler aller Epochen im Vordergrund der Studie. Geraucht und getrunken wurde schließlich immer – sei es aus medizinischen oder wissenschaftlichen Gründen, um der Realität zu entfliehen, die Kreativität zu beflügeln oder einfach nur zum Vergnügen. Die Originalausgabe "Narcotice în cultura română" wurde 2011 mit dem Sonderpreis des Rumänischen Schriftstellerverbandes ausgezeichnet.
