Her cousins, Billy and James, have found theirs in sports and music, but Ally has yet to discover something that will make people cheer just for her.

»Der Kult um Kordulas Mutter Miriam hatte den Rattenvölkern in der Zeit jener zermürbenden Auseinandersetzungen mit den Menschen Halt gegeben. Wie aber ist der Mythos entstanden? Was ist vor rund einem halben Jahrhundert in Kordulas Jugend wirklich geschehen? Um auf diese Fragen Antworten zu erhalten, müssen wir uns zunächst in das Jenseits begeben, weil wir dort miterleben können, wie dem grausamen Hunnenfürsten Attila und der heiligen Prinzessin Ursula eine neuerliche Bewährungsprobe im Diesseits auferlegt wird. Das Schicksal von Miriam und ihrer Tochter Kordula ist nämlich eng verbunden mit der unerwarteten Wiederkunft dieser beiden legendären Gestalten aus den alten Zeiten, in denen das Wissen um die Bedeutung des Über- beziehungsweise Unterirdischen für die Menschen noch lebendig war.« Mit schwarzem Humor und düsterer Erotik wird in diesem phantastischen Roman der Entstehung einer Religion nachgegangen, die aus der Liebe zwischen einer sprechenden Ratte und einem denkenden Computer wächst. Zweite, überarbeitete und erweiterte Auflage.

Er reiste 1872 ein weiteres Mal nach Palästina, um ihr Grab in Jaffa zu besuchen. Seine Reisen fanden i...
