Marcos Kedalion knows amazing things, reports what he experienced and learned as a friend of Poserich, reports on the influence of unknown powers on human destinies, on the limits of human will, on the transformation of the earth, a mysterious people, primeval dramas and tragedies, secrets in the wilderness of Siberia, bloody wars, but also of love and happiness, and an offer to live among the stars for an unlimited time.

Aristocracies and totalitarian dictatorships, in the name of religion or "science", must form the stupid and aggressive type of subject and, in times of crisis, stir them up against peaceful, tolerant minorities. For almost 2,000 years, these were mainly the Jews of the Diaspora. They were at the forefront of the development of "civil" values, the foundations of the Western world.This thesis, developed with the conceptual tools of Elias and Luhmann, is confirmed over the centuries up to the present conflict over Israel.

The astronomer falls off the flatbed truck, the falconer is afraid of a lion. Mona Lisa worries about red spots. Being "degenerate" hurts. The artworks themselves know best what it feels like to be systematically looted, deported, hidden, sold, and humiliated under the Nazi regime: paintings by some of the most famous artists of past centuries describe their personal experiences in letters, expressing their gratitude or pleading for help. The addressee: Rose Valland, a French art historian and resistance fighter. It was her commitment, foresight and courage that contributed significantly to the rescue of the art treasures. The book is another important step in keeping the darkest chapter of German history in memory.

Over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries, mathematics and physics have developed from a discipline tainted with intuition and metaphysics into a scientifically rigorous discipline. In contrast, ideas about fundamental topics of the Christian faith - such as God, the truth of the Bible, the relationship between faith and science, the meaning of life, the question of theodicy - are often based on outdated world views and systems of thought as well as unproven hypotheses and imprecise definitions. The book provides important arguments on the truth of the Bible and leads to a deeper access to basic concepts of theology and to a strengthening of the Christian faith.
