Keller der Erinnerung
In der Rückschau auf seine literarhistorische Arbeit erzählt der Zeitgenosse des 20. Jahrhunderts Fritz Mierau van den Potenzen der Sprache, vornehmlich der Sprache der russischen Poesie, unter den Bedingungen zweier scheiternder Sozialstrukturen, welche sich zum Ziel gesetzt hatten, mit den mörderischen Mitteln ihres Titanismus utopische Gesellschaftsmodelle zu erzwingen, die sich als Diktaturen erwiesen.
Thüringen
Thüringen wartet mit einer beeindruckenden landschaftlichen und architektonischen Vielfalt auf. Vom Eichsfeld bis zum Altenburger Land wechseln sich Wälder und Berge, lichte Ebenen und Kalksteinfelsen, romantische Flüsse und Auen ab. Im Land finden sich neben der lebendigen Hauptstadt Erfurt zahlreiche sorgsam gepflegte historische Ortsbilder, in denen man alle Phasen der europäischen Architekturgeschichte von der Spätgotik bis zur Moderne nachvollziehen kann. Einzigartig ist die enorme Dichte an Residenzen, Schlössern und Burgen, Parkanlagen und Theatern, ein Ergebnis der jahrhundertelangen Kleinstaaterei. Dieser Reiseführer macht mit allen Regionen Thüringens vertraut, gibt eine umfassende Einführung in die Geschichte und Gegenwart des Bundeslandes und bietet umfangreiche Hinweise für Aktiv- und Kulturtouristen, für Tagesgäste wie für Urlauber, die einen längeren Urlaub im grünen Herzen Deutschlands planen.
Oh Israel, My Heart Yearns for Thee
Finally free from the atrocities of the Holocaust, Tyszka and Cecylia are still haunted by the remains of World War II. With nothing left to live for in their home town of Oswiecim, Poland, they embark on a sojourn to Palestine, filled with danger, joy, and sadness as well as a newfound freedom. But each mile closer to Israel widens a growing separation between the two newlyweds. They soon find that their reasons for living on a kibbutz, he to belong to something greater than himself, she to understand and lay down her Jewish roots, clash. Inspired by newfound loves, both Tyszka and Sarah get caught up in the complexities of radical Zionism. The outcome of their clash will determine the direction of not only their own relationship, but the ongoing history of the Jewish and Arab nations.Oh Israel, My Heart Yearns for Theeis a historically accurate depiction of the post-holocaust Jewish migration to Israel and the sociopolitical issues that still threaten the nation today.
New Approaches to Religion and the Enlightenment
The Enlightenment, an eighteenth-century philosophical and cultural movement that swept through Western Europe, has often been characterized as a mostly secular phenomenon that ultimately undermined religious authority and belief, and eventually gave way to the secularization of Western society and to modernity. To whatever extent the Enlightenment can be credited with giving birth to modern Western culture, historians in more recent years have aptly demonstrated that the Enlightenment hardly singled the death knell of religion. Not only did religion continue to occupy a central pace in political, social, and private life throughout the eighteenth century, but it shaped the Enlightenment pro...

Lived Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean World
The Lived Ancient Religion project has radically changed perspectives on ancient religions and their supposedly personal or public character. This volume applies and further develops these methodological tools, new perspectives and new questions. The religious transformations of the Roman Imperial period appear in new light and more nuances by comparative confrontation and the integration of many disciplines. The contributions are written by specialists from a variety of disciplinary contexts (Jewish Studies, Theology, Classics, Early Christian Studies) dealing with the history of religion of the Mediterranean, West-Asian, and European area from the (late) Hellenistic period to the (early) Middle Ages and shaped by their intensive exchange. From the point of view of their respective fields of research, the contributors engage with discourses on agency, embodiment, appropriation and experience. They present innovative research in four fields also of theoretical debate, which are “Experiencing the Religious”, “Switching the Code”, „A Thing Called Body“ and “Commemorating the Moment”.
Dearest Mama
A cache of letters leads to a journey of discovery that reveals the long and lasting consequences of war William S. Walker never knew his uncle, Fletcher "Bud" Blanton. Blanton had been killed fighting in Europe during World War II before Walker was born. Walker had heard stories about Bud, but for most of his life his uncle had existed only as a faded memory. That path changed when Walker opened a dusty cabinet forgotten in his garage attic and found a paper sack and a note in his father's handwriting that read, "Go through before you throw away." The bag was filled with family photos, correspondence, and a collection of letters and postcards that his uncle Bud had written to his family during his time on the frontline as a US Army infantryman in Europe. The first letter he pulled from the bag opened with the line, "Dearest Mama." Walker's Dearest Mama is Bud Blanton's story. More than that it is a deeply personal family chronicle that resonates for all those left behind when servicemembers do not return home from combat.
Witchcraft, Demonology and Magic
Witchcraft and magic are topics of enduring interest for many reasons. The main one lies in their extraordinary interdisciplinarity: anthropologists, folklorists, historians, and more have contributed to build a body of work of extreme variety and consistence. Of course, this also means that the subjects themselves are not easy to assess. In a very general way, we can define witchcraft as a supernatural means to cause harm, death, or misfortune, while magic also belongs to the field of supernatural, or at least esoteric knowledge, but can be used to less dangerous effects (e.g., divination and astrology). In Western civilization, however, the witch hunt has set a very peculiar perspective in...
