Franz Josef Wagner is the best known of the uncelebrated members of the German media scene. A one-time war correspondent, he was chief correspondent for the Bild newspaper, ghost-writer for Franz Becken bauer and Boris Becker and editor-in-chief of Bunte and Bild before he was appointed chief columnist for the SprinGer publi shing company in 2001. Since then, he has written the best,
most-read and most controversial columns in the country under the heading "post von Wagner"
["Mail from Wagner"] on page 2 of Bild. this book is an homage to Germany on the 20th anniversary of its reunification.
Franz Josef Wagner, born in 1943 in Olmütz, is the most famous tabloid journa-list in Germany. He is the author of the column ″Post von Wagner″ in the Bild
newspaper, read daily by 12 million people.

What we commonly call history is a retrospective creation, in which we organise the past's chaotic events into more or less plausible stories. Suddenly everything appears logical: it must have happened the way it did. But if Julius Caesar had had a headache on the morning of the ides of March, he would probably have become the first roman emper-or a year later; if the weather had been poor, the lepanto naval battle would never have taken place; and, who knows, perhaps the loblied group did play a greater role in the fall of the Berlin Wall than we've hitherto realised. Johano Strasser, who loves the subversive transfor-mation of historical events, presents a small world history of chance.
Johano Strasser, born in 1939, is a political scientist, journalist and author. Formerly the general secretary of the German PEN Club, he has been its
president since 2002.

September 2010 is the hundredth anniversary of the arrival of Hazrat inayat Khan (1882 – 1927) in europe from his indian homeland. this is a memorable occasion, for Khan brought with him a wisdom that was unfamiliar to the people of the West. in a striking way, he embo-died the spirit of Sufism. His legacy is maintained in the international Sufi orders and the international Sufi movement, which convey and carry on his spirituality. this sumptuously made volume, which is
set up as a perpetual calendar, is divided into topics that the reader can relate to in his or her own life:
luck, longing, love, sexuality, music and prayer. it includes introductions by Hazrat inayat
Khan's grandson pir Zia and his son Hidayath inayat Khan.
Hazrat inayat Khan was the founder of the international Sufi movement. Born in 1882 in india, the Sufi master was venerated in his homeland as a virtuoso
of indian classical music. Khan emigrated in 1910 in order to spread his teachings to the United States and Europe. Khan's multi-confessional ″universal service″ is a special religious activity of his order. He died in 1927 during a trip to New delhi.

Human dignity is often used as an ultimate justification. in its name wars are fought and pacifism proclaimed, people are protected from the natural aging process and granted euthanasia, unborn children are killed and declared inviolable. ethical arguments almost always end up referring to human dignity. the Heidelberg theologian Wilfried Härle examines the concept of dignity, explaining its many different facets using concrete examples and cases. in the end, he concludes, only where people are well thought of is human dignity protected.
Wilfried Härle, born in 1941, is professor emeritus in systematic theology at the University of Heidelberg. One of the most important theologians and
ethicists in Germany, Härle was a member of the German Bundestag's Enquête Commission ″Ethik und Recht der modernen Medizin″ [Ethics and the law in Modern Medicine] and serves as adviser to the "Konrad Adenauer Foundation".

the indian poet and philosopher tulsidas (1532 – 1623) was an ascetic and an itinerant preacher of the teachings of rama. His psalm-like poems are still of great spiritual significance to Hindus today. For the first time, the most beautiful and philoso-phically meaningful verses from the cycle "Vinaya patrika" are translated directly from Hindi and explained clearly. through the verses, the reader learns the teachings of suffering and kar-ma as well as the basic idea of insight through renouncing the
world and following the way of yoga.
Hubert Hänggi, born in 1934, is the Father Superior of the Jesuit community of Schönbrunn. He teaches Hinduism at the Jesuit College of Philosophy in
Munich and at the University of innsbruck.
