Schwert gegen Klaue. Schild gegen Feuer. Der Ritter erhebt sich, um den wilden Drachen herauszufordern. Carl und seine Armeen von Nicht-Menschen konnten beim letzten Mal die Menschenarmee, die den Verbrannten Berg angriff, gerade noch abwehren. So soll es laut den Geschichten ablaufen. Es soll Mann gegen Drachen sein. Nur... das Reich der Nefren hat dieses Memo nie bekommen. Jetzt sind die verdammten zweibeinigen Glatthäute zurück und haben Verstärkung bekommen. Bis jetzt waren die Kräfte des Berges immer gespalten.

Carl war ein normaler Vorarbeiter auf dem Bau. Nicht der schlechteste, nicht der beste und definitiv nicht der dünnste. Trotzdem hatte er diesen Herzinfarkt nicht verdient! Er hatte es wirklich nicht verdient, als Drache in einer Welt voller Magie wiedergeboren zu werden, in der jeder gegen jeden kämpfte. Um fair zu sein, war es schön, an der Spitze der Nahrungskette zu stehen. Jetzt musste Carl nur noch lernen, wie Magie funktionierte, welche Monster man essen konnte und warum sein Hort so wichtig für ihn war.

A world in perfect balance—so claims Emerson in Compensation, an essay that pulses with quiet defiance and deep assurance. No gain without loss, no misstep without lesson, no fortune without its hidden tax. It is neither fate nor blind justice but a living rhythm, an invisible hand that rights every scale, even when human eyes fail to see. Emerson does not preach; he unfolds. The idea seeps in, settles, challenges. His words are not doctrine but a lens—through which prosperity and misfortune reveal themselves as two faces of the same coin.

Seine erste Begegnung mit Stravinskys Geschichte vom Soldaten hatte Peter Fricke 1963 an den Städtischen Bühnen Köln, als er unter der Regie von Oscar Fritz Schuh erstmals den Soldaten gab. Harald Kreutzberg verkörperte damals den Teufel. 1973 in München am Cuvilliéstheater übernahm Peter Fricke seinerseits die Rolle des Teufels und Joachim Bißmeier die des Soldaten. Ausgerechnet bei dem sogenannten "Teufelstanz", mit dem Stravinskys Soldat ein letztes Mal versucht das Ruder herum zu reißen, was ihm vorübergehend auch gelingt, verunglückte Peter Fricke gleich bei der Premiere.

Imagine a world where shadows are reality, where knowledge is but flickering illusions cast upon a wall. This is the chilling vision of Plato's Allegory of the Cave, a philosophical parable nestled within The Republic. More than two millennia old, it remains one of the most haunting explorations of truth, perception, and enlightenment. In this tale, Socrates describes prisoners trapped in a dark cavern since birth, chained so they can see only the wall before them. Behind them burns a fire, casting the silhouettes of unseen objects.

Emerson's Nature is not just an essay—it's a rebellion against confinement, an argument against secondhand wisdom. He strips away artifice, forcing us to confront the raw, untamed presence of the world. To walk through the woods, he suggests, is to be undressed of civilization, to shed the weight of customs, history, and ego. Nature demands no commentary, no theory—it simply is. This is not the sentimental nature of poets, nor the docile landscape of painters. Emerson's nature is unsettling, absolute.

The Collected Ghost Stories of M. R. James is an omnibus collection of ghost stories. Many of these stories are time-tested classics. Montague Rhodes James is best remembered for his ghost stories, which some consider among the best in the genre. He redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. However, his protagonists and plots tend to reflect his own antiquarian interests.

I was to promote my international bestseller, Talk and Grow Rich–Master the Art of Persuasion. This is the story of Thuc and the magic formula I learned from him.
