Der kulturelle Spaziergang ist keine Kulturgeschichte Ägyptens. Die Gegenwartsbezüge sind stets präsent und auf die kommt es letztendlich an. In der langen, ereignisreichen ägyptischen Geschichte spielte die Religion eine dominante Rolle. Sie war und ist das Fundament, auf dem alles entstand, florierte und verwelkte. Ägypten ist und bleibt im Würgegriff der Religion. Wer seine Kulturgeschichte verstehen will, kommt also nicht umhin, sich mit der Religion auseinanderzusetzen. Das Land ist mit den drei monotheistischen Religionen eng verflochten. Die bedeutenden biblischen und koranischen Geschichten nehmen direkten Bezug auf Ägypten oder spielen dort. Obwohl solche, von Menschenhand erschaffene Geschichten konstruierte Gebilde sind, ohne jedwede historische Substanz, prägen sie nach wie vor das Leben der Menschen und verhindern ihre freie Entwicklung. Daher müssen die „heiligen“ Geschichten zuerst entheiligt werden. Der Islam hat keine Aufklärungsphase erlebt, dabei hätte er sie nötiger denn je. Er erhebt einen universellen Anspruch und wehrt sich vehement gegen eine Trennung von Staat und Religion. Wie ließe sich im Lichte dessen das Versagen des politischen Systems in den letzten 60 Jahren erklären? Es schaffte den Nährboden für den religiösen Fundamentalismus, der in Ägypten entstand und dort noch floriert. Welche schäbige Rolle spielte der Westen in dieser Tragödie? Warum musste der arabische Frühling scheitern? Der kulturelle Spaziergang kann solche Fragen nicht beantworten, aber er kann helfen, Hintergründe und Zusammenhänge besser zu verstehen.

Born and brought up in Suffolk, Ronald Blythe produced an instant classic with Akenfield. Only a man who had lived all his life in Suffolk could produce such a vivid and accurate portrayal of Akenfield and its inhabitants. Ronald Blythe recounts the personal recollections of, among others, the local school keeper, doctor, blacksmith, saddler, district nurse and magistrate as they discussed farming, education, welfare, class, religion and death. Originally published in 1969, 'Arkenfield' forms a unique document of a way of life that has, in many ways, disappeared. It reverberates with voices of survivors of the Great War evoking days gone by and reflects the concerns of a younger generation of farm workers during the second agricultural revolution - the land producing more but employing fewer men. It is a penetrating, unprejudiced, caring account of rural life, tapping into a variety of contemporary concerns about agriculture, the environment and the destruction of the traditional countryside.

But soon King himself becomes a target, with secrets from his own past dredged up and threats escalating to a terrifying level.

Isis Unveiled: 2-Volume Set

»Isis entschleiert« ist ein großangelegter Mosaikroman zum Thema Schleier und Entschleierung, der das moderne Genre des Puzzle-Romans sichtlich auf nie betretene Stufen führt. Eine Romanfigur namens ausgerechnet Ulrich Holbein verläßt seine hausbackene Geliebte Rosi, um solo auf Reise zu gehen. Er schreitet Richtung Orient, um im Tempel der Isis die nackte Wahrheit zu sehen, d. h., den hierfür zuständigen Schleier zu lüften. Hierzu werden mehrere Entschleierungsvarianten durchgeführt: sieben an der Zahl. Einige Entschleierungen verlaufen glücklich und führen zu ekstatischer Einswerdung und Erleuchtungserlebnissen, doch auch das Gegenteil, die Apokalypse im Guckkasten, nimmt seinen Lauf. Normalerweise setzen Romanciers ihre Werke aus Worten zusammen. Holbein hingegen operiert in der »Isis« mit der nächstgrößeren Einheit: dem Zitat. Damit entsteht eine überschwappende, wahnwitzige Großcollage aus Literatur-, Film-, Gebrauchstext-, Volksmund-, und Selbstzitaten, Paraphrasen und Bildern - ein internationales Kollektivgebräu aus 5437 Zitaten von etwa 732 teilweise sehr unvereinbaren Dichtern, Denkern, Religionsstiftern, Obergurus, Ekstatikern, Ghostwritern und Illustratoren verschiedener Zeiten und Zonen, von Graf Zeppelin bis Albertus Magnus.
