June 2023Was ist Liberalismus?
by Elif Özmen
Wer über Demokratie spricht, darf über Liberalismus nicht schweigen. Liberale Prinzipien wie Rechtsstaatlichkeit, Gewaltenteilung, Menschenrechte und Toleranz gehören zum festen Bestand moderner Demokratien. Daher ist die gegenwärtig vielbeschworene Krise der Demokratie auch eine Krise des Liberalismus. Dieser könne, so meinen viele, seine Versprechen nicht mehr einlösen. Gegen die allzu geläufigen Gemeinplätze und Krisendiskurse über den Liberalismus positioniert sich das Buch Elif Özmens mit einer systematischen Darstellung seiner philosophischen Grundlagen, normativen Architekturen und aktuellen Kontroversen. Eine Verteidigung des Liberalismus als der am wenigsten schlechten unter den Regierungs- und Lebensformen.

Ouchieee
by Author: Elif Seyrekbasan Illustrator: Nesibe Çelebi
The author draws attention to the effect of empowering the child when coping with difficult issues, and doing this by getting support from the child’s own life and “successes.” Cansu is in the emergency service at the hospital with her family. As the nurse approaches with a needle in her hand to take blood from her, Cansu starts shouting: “Ouchieee”. The other children in the hospital are nervous: “What are they doing to make this child shout so fiercely?” However, the tip of the needle has not even touched Cansu, but she screams out of breath: Ouchieee! And at the end of these shouts—maybe we should say calls—a girl appears at the speed of a jet and says, “Here I am with your call.” Cansu is confused. She is sure that she did not call anyone. Where did this girl come from? That moment is the meeting of Ouchie and Cansu. Ouchie is there to help her get through this “difficult” process in the hospital. Meet our pratogonists, who will add color to children’s rich imaginations and encourage them to deal with their fears.

FictionTwin Flame
by Nish Amarnath
TWIN FLAME is an inter-racial love story with literary overtones, multicultural stripes and strands of magical realism. A South Asian Math prodigy’s wish for a boy in a painting to come alive materializes in the form of an Austrian-Jewish writer. But a troubling secret wrenches them apart, forcing them to confront their worst fears, if life is to give them one final chance. Sherry Kasal, diagnosed with type-1 diabetes at the age of five, hopes to draw upon her passion for Math to discover a cure for conditions like her own. She stumbles upon a painting of a boy trapped in a snowstorm. She talks to the boy in this picture whenever she's sad, frustrated, angry and/or dejected. When writer Shaddy Haas enters her life, Sherry is motivated to resume work on a concentric model of electromagnetism that she had abandoned as a teen. Alas, circumstances wrench Sherry and Shaddy apart. Sherry, who reluctantly marries a lawyer, lands in Manhattan, where she scrambles to pick up the vestiges of her shelved research dream and realizes that she’s living a lie. Sherry must also unravel a flabbergasting secret that links Shaddy to the painting of the boy in the snowstorm as they try to find their way back to each other. Twin Flame, whose narrative is embedded with the alternating voices of its protagonists in both first-person and third-person points of view, combines the mystical ethos of Elif Shafak's 'Forty Rules of Love' with the futuristic cadence of Erich Segal's 'Prizes' and the exotic romanticism of Jan-Philipp Sendker's 'The Art of Hearing Heartbeats.'

Saint Michael The Archangel
by Immacolata Aulisa, Claudio Azzara, Gioia Bertelli, Pierre Bouet, Ada Campione, Franco Cardini, Manuel Castiñeiras, Gerardo Cioffari, Alessandro di Muro, Klaus Herbers, Renzo Infante, Gábor Klaniczay, Giorgio Otranto, Francesco Panarelli, Giuseppe Sergi, André Vauchez, Catherine Vincent
From the Hebrew name meaning “Who Is Like God?”, Michael is one of the angels–together with Raphael (“God Heals”) and Gabriel (“God Is My Strength”)–whose names are mentioned in the Holy Scripture. Since the first centuries of Christianity, there has been a wide diffusion of his worship in Europe and in the East through a multitude of sanctuaries and chapels, mostly nestled in high places, related to caves and water. An astonishing feature of this spread is a mysterious straight line crossing the European continent from North-West to South-East from Ireland to Asia Minor, and it is perfectly aligned with the sunset on the day of Summer Solstice. Along this line are seven sanctuaries dedicated to Michael, three of which have been significantly important over the centuries: Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, the Sacra di San Michele in val di Susa and the Sanctuary of Monte Sant’Angelo on Mount Gargano, in Puglia. Three extraordinary high places that are all the same distance one from the other and which have always been a constant pilgrimage destination. Another aspect is the connection Saint Michael had with the Longobards, who migrated across Europe between the second and the sixth century until they reached Italy where they settled. This made Michael the first truly “European” Saint, attracting believers from all over the continent. With the contribution of some of the most important historians and medievalists from different European countries, this book depicts the presence of Saint Michael in Europe, starting with the diffusion of his devotion, especially during the Middle Ages, and extending to an analysis of the iconography of the Saint through the many architectural and artistic testimonies to be found throughout Europe. Thanks to its influential contributions and to the variety of both historical and iconographic topics, combined with the spectacular nature of the numerous images of places and artistic testimonies, this book is a unique journey through Europe between art and faith.
