In 17th/18th century France, the best friend of the future regent of Paris falls victim to a murder plot. Considered an invincible fencing master, he was the only one who had mastered the legendary Nevers thrust, an unblockable sword thrust to the forehead of his opponents. Thus, he could only be defeated by an overwhelming superiority of fighters. Another fencing master swore revenge on those involved in the plot and relentlessly and cunningly pursued them throughout Europe and into the highest circles of Parisian society for years.

How can democracy succeed as a form of government? An adult may have developed self-confidence, but they cannot change the world alone. They can only gain power, influence, and assertiveness by joining forces and networking with like-minded people.It is the group and its dynamics that make transformation possible. A democratic consciousness can only emerge when many people who think alike and have a similarly developed consciousness come together in an organized way. Democratic maturity is therefore the decisive criterion for the success of democratic structures.This is a reappraisal of human history in light of current global political issues, examining the group-dynamic development of democracy, its limits, and its drivers.

This book offers a comprehensive philosophical analysis of Christian humanism and atheist humanism, exploring their historical origins, anthropological foundations, ethical principles, and contemporary implications. The first chapters examine the biblical, classical, and medieval roots of Christian humanism, highlighting the Christian conception of the human person as a being endowed with dignity, freedom, reason, and a transcendent vocation. Special attention is given to the synthesis of faith and reason, particularly in the thought of Saint Thomas Aquinas, and to the role of freedom as a central axis of Christian anthropology. Subsequent chapters analyze modern and contemporary forms of atheist humanism, focusing on their understanding of autonomy, determinism, ethics, and meaning. The work contrasts these perspectives with the Christian vision while recognizing shared concerns such as justice, human rights, and the pursuit of the common good. The final chapters explore areas of dialogue in politics, education, science, bioethics, and global culture, proposing a possible synthesis based on care for the person, ethical responsibility, and cooperation for a shared human horizon.

Dealers ChoiceI feel its my duty to proclaim it from the rooftops: this is it, this is the play that will remind you, at the end of a year that has contained too few stand-out new-writing hits and far too many musicals, why we go to the theatre - and just how good it can get.TelegraphCloserPatrick Marbers searing follow-up to Dealers Choice establishes him as the leading playwright of his generation.Independent on SundayOne of the best plays of sexual politics in the language: it is right up there with Williamss Streetcar, Mamets Oleanna, Albees Virginia Woolf, Pinters Old Times and Hares Skylight.Sunday TimesHoward KatzAfter Dealers Choice (1995), his gripping study of self-destructive gamblers, and Closer (1997), a thrilling account of love, sex and betrayal, this third instalment of his trilogy set in contemporary London tackles the biggest themes of all - life, death, God and the human soul. Its great to see a contemporary dramatist wrestling with such material.TelegraphDon Juan in SohoOne of the foremost dramatic chroniclers of modern British life. Line by line, this is the best written of all Marbers plays. You want to hang around its phrases (how often does that happen in the theatre?): hardly a minute passes without a satirical swipe, a gutsy joke.ObserverThe Red LionMarber, in this riveting new piece, uses the world of non-league, semi-pro football to explore issues of trust and loyalty and the larger division between individual ambition and the collective ethic. If big issues emerge naturally from the action, it is because Marber is writing about a world he knows intimately. Everything feels right. Guardian
