        Andrey Sheptytsky. Biography

        by Roman Horak

        Fourteen moments of the Passion of Christ, called stations, were recorded by human memory on the way of our salvation on Calvary. Fourteen moments of our humiliation and humiliation of our faith... How many humiliation he suffered, Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky, who felt like a Kyrenian, who helped us carry our cross, when those who called themselves leaders abandoned us, and when our language was banned. ...And the Lord took pity on us. And as a great manifestation of love for us, He sent Him, who was destined to go with us on His way to Calvary. Let's not forget: he was always a stranger among those for whom he came into this world. His conversion to his ancestors' faith was perceived ambiguously. The book is based on documentary materials, the authenticity of which has been confirmed. It creates the impression of a real epic of time and relationships. In addition to memories of the metropolitan, the testimony of the press, which recorded his every step, denunciations on him, materials of special services, protocols of interrogations, reports of employees and special agents, who have been monitoring Metropolitan Sheptytsky since 1937, were used. For a wide range of readers.

        Havanna

        Ein Reisebegleiter

        by Roman Rhode

        »Die Straßen in Havanna«, schrieb der kubanische Schriftsteller Alejo Carpentier, »bieten ein fortwährendes Schauspiel: Theater, Karikatur, Drama, Komödie oder was auch immer.« So verwundert es nicht, daß gerade Künstler und Intellektuelle sich von der pulsierenden Atmosphäre der Hafenstadt inspirieren ließen. In den prächtigen Hotels der Altstadt logierten Jean-Paul Sartre, Ry Cooder und Albert Einstein. Ernest Hemingway erkor Havanna sogar zu seinem ständigen Wohnsitz. Den Soundtrack zu dem Treiben auf den Straßen liefern bis heute Rumba und Son Cubano – die mit dem Buena Vista Social Club unvergeßlich wurden. Auf den Spuren bedeutender Autoren entdeckt der Leser die verborgenen, magischen Orte der »Perle der Karibik«.

        Werden wir ewig leben?

        Gespräche über die Zukunft von Mensch und Technologie

        by Roman Brinzanik, Tobias Hülswitt

        Naturwissenschaftliche Forschungen zu den Themen Leben, Intelligenz und Materie erzielen derzeit revolutionäre Ergebnisse, die unsere Auffassung von der Natur des menschlichen Körpers und Geistes herausfordern. Der Erfinder und Autor Ray Kurzweil leitet aus möglichen technologischen Anwendungen dieser Erkenntnisse die Vision einer nahen Zukunft ab, in der Künstliche Intelligenz die menschliche auf allen Gebieten übertrifft, in der der Mensch mit intelligenter Technologie verschmilzt, Krankheiten und Altern durch den Einsatz von Gentechnik und Nanomedizin bekämpft werden und schließlich niemand mehr eines natürlichen Todes sterben muß. Was an diesen Visionen ist Wissenschaft, was Heilsversprechen religiöser Art, was reine Science Fiction? Der Schriftsteller Tobias Hülswitt und der Physiker Roman Brinzanik haben Interviews mit herausragenden Wissenschaftlern geführt, darunter der Chemie-Nobelpreisträger Jean-Marie Lehn, der Stammzellforscher Hans R. Schöler und der Hirnforscher Wolf Singer, um herauszufinden, was der heutige Stand der Naturwissenschaften ist und wie seriöse Zukunftsszenarien aussehen. Daneben werden in Gesprächen mit dem Präsidenten der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Peter Gruss, dem Demografen James W. Vaupel und dem Ethiker Bert Gordijn die sozialen Konsequenzen bevorstehender Technologien und einer möglichen radikalen Lebensverlängerung ausgelotet. Mit Pater Friedhelm Mennekes SJ, dem Schriftsteller Hans-Ulrich Treichel, dem Philosophen Aaron Ben-Ze’ev u. a. sprechen die Autoren über die Plastizität menschlicher Identität und das Verhältnis der Künste zu Technik, Melancholie und Vergänglichkeit. Zitat: »Könnten wir also den Tod überwinden? Jean-Marie Lehn: Wen? Den Tod. Jean-Marie Lehn: Bestimmte Aspekte davon wahrscheinlich schon. Es kommt darauf an, was Sie mit Tod meinen.« Jean-Marie Lehn, Chemie-Nobelpreis 1987
