Mytologi

Die siebte und letzte Ausgabe von Vlad Stanomir in der Reihe "Lebenswerke - Werke des Lebens" zeigt den Größenwahn der Herrschenden und die Unterdrückung des Volkes zu seiner Zeit. Die Geschichte dre Menschheit, ihr Denken und Handeln, wiederholt sich ständig, wie das Zeitgeschehen zur Veröffentlichung des Werkes zeigt. Es scheint, dass wir Menschen aus der Geschichte nicht lernen. Für den denkenden Menschen sind diese Wiederholungen frustrierend, denn eine dauerhafte Veränderung scheint unmöglich...

Après la mort du Kzâhr Xanghôr, l'Univers de Kûrhasm connut de grands bouleversements sous la gouverne du nouveau monarque, du nom d'Ughâr : une révolution religieuse, deux grandes guerres, de fantastiques évolutions techniques.Le destin de ce monde était, en vérité, hautement spirituel. Celui-ci se réalisa sous la conduite d'Alizhiâs, un Kzâhr d'exception, auquel Dieu avait donné la mission de grand guide. Aussi ses sujets l'adulaient-ils et le voyaient-ils sous les traits d'un demi-dieu.

Xanghôr, Kzâhr de la vaste île de Kûrhasm, était un monarque poète et au tempérament plutôt fantasque. Ainsi il ne se sentait guère vraiment concerné par la responsabilité de sa haute charge.Il fit un rêve dans lequel il vit une merveilleuse déesse. Le coeur indélébilement imprégné par celui-ci, il décida de partir en quête de cette femme exceptionnelle en mesure de régner à son côté.Kûrhasm était comme un monde à part, vu qu'une vague de vingt-cinq mètres l'enceignait. Celle-ci convainquait les habitants que rien n'existait au-delà. Ainsi trouver une femme qui ne fut pas de ce monde ressemblait à une gageure insensée.Pourtant, Xanghôr poursuivit obstinément cet idéal, persuadé au fond de lui qu'un événement extraordinaire se produirait et que son rêve alors se concrétiserait. Étrange destin que celui de ce Kzâhr hors du commun.

Gott ist unergründbar und unerkennbar. Dieser Gedanke ist in der jüdisch-christlichen Tradition fest verankert. Andererseits sprechen biblische Texte vom Menschen oder Christus als Bild Gottes. Wie lässt sich beides zusammen denken? Die Beiträge bauen Brücken zwischen Ost und West, zwischen Geschichte und Gegenwart: antike und mittelalterliche Schriften werden ins Gespräch gebracht mit Positionen gegenwärtiger Theologie.

La protagonisto Keave, maristo el Havajo, akiras por kvindek dolaroj misteran botelon, kiu plenumas al la posedanto chiun deziron. Sed oni konsilas al li disigi sin de ghi sufiche rapide, char tiu, kiu ankorau posedas ghin post sia morto, neeviteble alvenos en la inferon. Krome la botelo estas nedetruebla, oni povas liberigi sin de ghi nur per vendo, kaj nur per kontanta mono, kaj oni devas vendi ghin pli malkare ol oni achetis la botelon, char alikaze ghi revenos al la posedinto. Krome la achetinto devas ekscii chiujn chi kondichojn antau la acheto. Kiam Keave deziris sian belan domon kaj baldau ricevis ghin, li vendas la botelon al sia amiko Lopaka. Nelonge poste li renkontas la belan knabinon Kokua, kiu reciprokas lian amon. Kaj tial lia felicho estas perfekta, sed nur dum mallonga tempo. Keave malkovras, ke li malsanighis je lepro. Lepruloj en la socio estas evitataj kaj forpushitaj, plej ofte ili vegetadas mizere en flanka loko de la insulo Molokai. La ununura espero eviti sian sorton por Keave estas acheti ankoraufoje la botelon. Li serchas ghin, char intertempe la botelo iris tra multaj manoj. Kiam li fine trovis ghin, ghi kostas nur unu cendon. Pro sia amo li tamen achetas la botelon, sed poste li sinkas en desperon, char li ne plu povas vendi ghin pli malkare. Post kelke da tempo la edzino Kokua ekscias la sekreton kaj proponas al li veturi per shipoj al la francaj insuloj en la suda parto de la Pacifika Oceano, kie ankorau estas uzataj centimoj, per kiuj eblus ankorau pli malkaraj vendoj. Fine Kokua trovas iun, kiu pretas acheti ghin de Keave, sed nur por ke Kokua reakiru ghin poste mem. Tiel okazas. Kiam Keave ekscias tion, li ne hezitas fari por la savado de Kokua la samon, kvankam la prezo de la botelo post la reacheto kostus nur unu cendon. Sed la lasta achetinto de la botelo, kruda drinkavida maato, ne pretas revendi ghin al li. Vane avertas lin Keave, pro la minacanta kondamno. La maato, kiu certe supozas ja chiukaze alveni en la inferon, shancelighante foriras kun la botelo tra aleo. Sed Keave kaj Kokua post tio vivas feliche kaj sen zorgoj en la Pura Domo de Keave.

Dubravka Ugresic retells the myth of Baba Yaga - one of the most famous stories in Russian and Eastern European mythology

Am Ende seines Lebens bekam der Schriftsteller Oscar A.H. Schmitz Kontakt zu C.G.Jung und seiner analytischen Psychologie, die sich der symbolschaffenden Tätigkeit der Psyche widmet. Dadurch angeregt, entwickelte Schmitz ein Verfahren autonomen Schreibens, das die bewusste Verstandeskontrolle des Ego ausschließt. Die so entstandenen "Märchen aus dem Unbewussten" drücken die damalige Lebenssitualtion des Schreibers aus und ziehen das Fazit seines Lebens. Gleichwohl bekommen sie übergreifende und universelle Bedeutung als Produkte der schöpferischen Tätigkeit der Psyche, indem sie Zeugnis eines suchenden Geistes wird, der die Lebensdramatik des heutigen Menschen in ergreifenden Bildern formt.

Dieser auf historischen Ereignissen basierende Roman sprengt sämtliche Ketten der Welt. Jesus und seine Begleiter waren schon immer da, sind da und werden sein. Begleiten sie mit mir Jesus, seine Familie und Gefährten durch viele Inkarnationen und Epochen der Menschheit hinweg durch das alte Sumer, Ägypten, das Römische Reich, dem Mittelalter bis in die heutige Zeit. Wirkten sie auch in Deutschland und Österreich? Wer suche, der finde. Wer bittet, dem wird gegeben. Wir offenbaren ihre bürgerlichen Namen, die wir in den römischen Aufzeichnungen finden können. Er und seine Familie entstammen der kaiserlichen Familie und wurden nicht nur aufgrund des Urchristentums verfolgt. Es ging ebenso um Macht, politische Interessen und Intrigen am kaiserlichen Hof. Wir offenbaren viele Vor- und Nachleben von Jeshua und seinen Anhängern bis in die heutige Zeit, weshalb die Gegenwart zur Rettung der Kinder Gottes eine wesentliche Rolle spielt. Jetzt wird es offenbart und transformiert werden. Es geht und ging immer um die Rettung unseres Christusbewusstseins. Dieser Roman soll in keiner Weise einen reinen Christen und wahren Gläubigen diffamieren, sondern ihn bestätigen. Es geht um die wahren Lehren von Jeshua. Jetzt geht es auf die Bühne zum Endkampf um den Sieg des Lichts, wobei uns eine phänomenale kosmische Bewusstseinsanhebung bevorsteht. In einem Channeling gab er sein Einverständnis dazu und es könnte der wichtigste Roman der letzten 2000 Jahre werden. Seien Sie gesegnet!

Somota is society divided by change, and by memories. When A. arrives in the protectorate shortly after the first world war, he is unsure of what to expect. Employed by the government as a linguistic anthropologist, he is tasked with documenting the benefits of the new order and reporting them to the Reverend G. But what are these benefits? In his travels throughout the region, A. finds only the physical and emotional scars of conquest, and of routine colonial administration. Yet, even as the indigenous culture is being reduced to mere fragments, he also learns of a sublime literature responding to those historical traumas. One storyteller in particular, Kehinta, begins to reveal to A. just how much has been lost. A profoundly beautiful novel commenting on the horrors of colonial oppression, trauma, love, and the power of story.

Algernon Henry Blackwood, CBE (14 March 1869 - 10 December 1951) was an English broadcasting narrator, journalist, novelist and short story writer, and among the most prolific ghost story writers in the history of the genre. The literary critic S. T. Joshi stated, "His work is more consistently meritorious than any weird writer's except Dunsany's" and that his short story collection Incredible Adventures (1914) "may be the premier weird collection of this or any other century". Throughout his adult life, he was an occasional essayist for periodicals. In his late thirties, he moved back to England and started to write stories of the supernatural. He was successful, writing at least ten original collections of short stories and later telling them on radio and television. He also wrote 14 novels, several children's books and a number of plays, most of which were produced, but not published. He was an avid lover of nature and the outdoors, as many of his stories reflect. To satisfy his interest in the supernatural, he joined The Ghost Club. He never married; according to his friends he was a loner, but also cheerful company.His two best-known stories are probably "The Willows" and "The Wendigo". He would also often write stories for newspapers at short notice, with the result that he was unsure exactly how many short stories he had written and there is no sure total. Though Blackwood wrote a number of horror stories, his most typical work seeks less to frighten than to induce a sense of awe. Good examples are the novels The Centaur, which reaches a climax with a traveller's sight of a herd of the mythical creatures; and Julius LeVallon and its sequel The Bright Messenger, which deal with reincarnation and the possibility of a new, mystical evolution of human consciousness. Blackwood died after several strokes. Officially his death on 10 December 1951 was from cerebral thrombosis, with arteriosclerosis as a contributing factor. He was cremated at Golders Green crematorium. A few weeks later his nephew took his ashes to Saanenmöser Pass in the Swiss Alps, and scattered them in the mountains that he had loved for more than forty years. (wikipedia.org)

They are the stories we've known since we were children. Rapunzel. Hansel and Gretel. Cinderella. Sleeping Beauty. But the works originally collected by the Brothers Grimm in the early 1800s are not necessarily the versions we heard before bedtime. They're darker and often don't end very happily but they're often far more interesting. This version of Grimms' Fairy Tales includes the original versions of the stories translated by Edgar Taylor and Marian Edwardes.
