Amare non significa possedere in maniera esclusiva, limitare la libertà del partner o escludersi dalla vita del mondo; al contrario, l'amore può aprirsi all'intero universo, spalancando inattese prospettive. Un trattato sull'amore che insegna a sviluppare la propria personalità e raggiungere la pienezza affettiva.

Animati dall’orgoglio per il proprio paese, incalzati dal professor Kanterok e persino dai genitori (anch’essi darebbero loro dei vigliacchi se non lo facessero), Paul Bäumer e molti dei suoi compagni partono volontari per il fronte. Qui però la terra ribolle sotto l’esplodere delle bombarde, sprizzano fontane di fango e di ferro, volano schegge di granate e le pance dei cadaveri si gonfiano. Meyer, Marx, Hämmerling e Kemmerich sono morti, Haie Westhus sta morendo, Martens non ha più le gambe.

As consumers of art, and especially as fans, we have a host of tricky moral question to navigate: do the moral lives of artists affect the aesthetic quality of their work? In Drawing the Line, Erich Hatala Matthes argues that it doesn't matter whether we can separate the art from the artist, because we shouldn't. Matthes argues both that the lives of artists can play an important role in shaping our moral and aesthetic relationship to the artworks that we love and that these same artworks offer us powerful resources for grappling with the immorality of their creators.

1914: Der 19-jährige Paul Bäumer und seine Klassenkameraden haben das Abitur in der Tasche und melden sich, angespornt durch ihren Lehrer, mit Begeisterung zum Kriegsdienst. Doch schon bald erfährt Paul an der Front, was Krieg in seiner ganzen Grausamkeit bedeutet. Während seine Schulkameraden einer nach dem anderen fallen, überlebt Paul vier Jahre im ständigen Angesicht des Todes und seine Kriegserlebnisse scheinen ein gutes Ende zu nehmen. Aber das Schicksal hat einen anderen Plan für ihn.

As Erich Fromm points out, ours is "a life between having and being"—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity. The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist's views on the fulfilling life.

In The Interaction Field, management expert and professor Erich Joachimsthaler explains that the only way to thrive in this environment is through the Interaction Field model. Companies who embrace this model generate, facilitate, and benefit from data exchanges among multiple people and groups - from customers and stakeholders, but also from those you wouldn't expect to be in the mix, like suppliers, software developers, regulators, and even competitors.

Schonungslos und selbstkritisch erzählt der Schriftsteller Erich Loest aus seinem Leben. 1926 im sächsischen Mittweida geboren, kam Loest über die Hitlerjugend zur NSDAP und nahm als junger Soldat, als sogenannter "Werwolf", am Zweiten Weltkrieg teil. 1947 trat er begeistert in die SED ein, wurde aber zehn Jahre später wegen angeblicher "konterrevolutionärer Gruppenbildung" zu siebeneinhalb Jahren Haft verurteilt. Mit seiner Entlassung endet diese Autobiografie. Gelesen von Kurt Böwe ist "Durch die Erde ein Riss" eine beeindruckende literarische Chronik deutscher Zeitgeschichte.

"À l'Ouest, rien de nouveau" a donné la parole à l'un de ces jeunes soldats allemands qui, comme l'auteur, vécut l'épreuve de la Grande Guerre.

Mais la puissance d'évocation de cette œuvre est telle qu'elle résiste à toute censure. Écrit au présent, avec une sobriété qui souligne l'horreur quotidienne du front et de la vie dans les tranchées, ce roman nous interpelle du fin fond de l'enfer, dans la plus déchirante intimité.

The early 1960s were a time of existential unease across the world. The constant threat of a nuclear bomb - and of mutually assured destruction - led to a palpable sense that nuclear holocaust could occur any day. It was in this Cold War environment that social psychologist Erich Fromm wrote May Man Prevail?
